"Downes was seen to confront Warnock, seemingly for a kicking gesture made by the Blades boss, sparking a brief brawl involving substitutes and backroom staff from both sides. Warnock's said after the incident that his gesture was made in order to tell referee Mark Halsey that an earlier tackle...

I must admit to sharing the sentiments expressed by Floyd that Sir Steve has made an error by saying we don't want Europe. We need to win games to get into Europe...is Sir Steve saying don't win games? Agree that psychologically it doesn't make sense, though I can undestand Sir Steve wanting to man...

Forty Lovely irony for Spurs last night against Seville, to be done with a penalty described as ropey at best.

one nil at the lane will do.


Yes, sure, but still a lovely irony! Especially as (my Spurs-mad bro claims) the Halford pen was given for a "second movement" - just like Robinson

We deserved to lose by more. Spurs finishing was shocking, but we didn't create much. Why? By all accounts, Hahnemann and Federici were outstanding to keep the ball out. Just because they had more chances than us doesn't mean we deserved to lose heavily. :roll: This is so true, we deserved a hard f...

I've felt the same way for a while. When I went to Fulham v Villa I was in the Villa end and I had the shittest seats possible, I couldn't see the goal because of a pillar, but because it was all standing everyone in the row moved up so people could see. If that was Reading I would have been stuck ...

For once a good, balanced press report that reflects our counter-attacking ability but also the fact that Spursch had the better of the game. Of course it wasn't a pen but look at the shots stats; they could have been 3 up after 10 minutes. So why all the whingeing?? Two pens we should've had? Anoth...

i would say archie over lita. :shock: You have got to be joking. Much as I loved that '95 side and the rollercoaster ride they gave us, they would be slaughtered by the current line-up. Archie had a couple of very good seasons then struggled to score against average opposition in a level below the ...

Well done Marcus. 8) It amazes me players that seem to get the most stick on here ie. Marcus & Harps are the ones obviously playing at the top of their game. :roll: Spot on, mate. We are an attacking side who for a top half team have let in a fair number of goals so for Marcus to get this ratin...

My hazy memory of 69-70 was alot of goalmouth scrambles followed by goals,goals,goals!!!!! Fred Sharpe was very old. Gordon Cumming was brilliant. ( An earlier Gilkes, but better at crossing.) Les Chappell was an excellent finisher. The Wagstaffe brothers were very skilful midfielders. Our defence ...

Re: Sonko out for season

Apologies if already posted but the back page of the EP states today that he is out for the rest of the campaign. News wasn't announced prior to that as the club did not want to falsley inflate the market. Bad news but at least we have more than adequate cover now. I would expect Duberry to start a...
