Other good news Michael Kightly went off with a shoulder problem, looks like hes out for a weeks! The bad news is that they signed on loan the flying machine Reid who did very well previously on loan at Blackpool. The other bit of bad news for us is that they have recognised the central defensive p...

Yes they did but Burnley might well play on that Saturday as they are due to play the winners of Cardiff/Arsenal which isn't replayed till the 16th.. Confusing I know! Burnley wouldn't worry-they already play just about every day of the week so two games in one day could well be within their capabi...

Snowball Are those final results any different from other years in cup competitions?


I was just asking the question, but I think this is an exceptional year

I asked first.

Ian Royal Doyle, Bas Savage ( couldn't resist) and Soloman Taiwo. Couldn't find Davies on the list and can't remember which club he's at so went for a player who sounded good against us.

How come you didn't go for our left-winger?

I was tempted to start another thread for this but it's not really worth it! I saw the highlights of Southampton's game last night and Andrew Surman scored an excellent volley to level the scores briefly in their game with Sheffield Utd.It got me thinking has Stephen Hunt ever scored a 'wow' goal? ...

Snowball, your devotion to gathering stats is very laudable, but your analyses of them can be rather myopic. and as usual, listers fail to think and knee-jerk in responses The fact that we lost to teams who have put together runs of results cannot be used to infer that this is a strong league. Er, ...

I wonder if we will see even more tricolores there on Saturday and banners saying "thank you for staying oh chosen one".
Some of the adulation on here is so sick and reminds me of Life Of Brian.

We have the best striker in the division-how much better would teams such as Doncaster ,QPR and so on be if they had such an outstanding player but let's not forget that last seasn he hardly got a kick. In many games teams have passed their way through our midfield only to have no punch where it mat...

I haven't seen the announcement from the club but presumably there will be something on the lines of "this is like a new signing blah blah". If this means that Hunt is a new signing and he becomes again the player of that meaningless FA Cup game at Spurs last season fine but if he is the H...

I remeber my daughter coming home from school one day to say that she was "doing Kennedy in history"

That man really did get around, didn't he?

My daughter is no Marilyn Monroe though.

Fed Rosie Pearce Doobs Armo Kebe Cisse Marek Tabb Doyle Lita Won't get it though. Well done Winchester the only one to do what Coppell never does and drop Hunt. I would go for Harper ahead of Marek because two midfield changes might upset things too much. After last Saturday any of Kebe,Harper and ...

Michael Meaker. We got him in exchange for Simon Osborn! I disliked Meaker 10 times more than Andy Hughes or Stephen Hunt. To bring him in as a significant element of the part-exchange deal for possibly our best ever midfielder super Si was IMHO criminal. Bringing in metal-head aged Morley to break...

As there has been much digression (as ever) from the original topic could I stay there for a moment and ask one of you history boffins if Anne Boleyn really did have a stunning sister like Scarlett Johanssen (spelling?)?-obviously an opinion not a fact. BTW HR does it still count as "history&qu...

AP - this is very good news for us; its a win/win. SHunt knows that IF he wants to play in the premier League next season he will need to play his part in getting us promoted because, bluntly, NO-ONE was prepared this window to stump up the £5M - and there is no reason to think they would next Summ...

... Get a new agent. I wonder how it feels not to be wanted by a Premier League club? I wonder how it feels to be perceived as a pr1ck for prostituting his services to all and sundry with no return? Can promote yourself as much as you like but the problem being he just isn't that good at football. ...

It's is all a gamble anyway. Nothing can be done to prepare for the premier until we know if we are promoted. Even then wheeling and dealing with players can still be a totally unquantifiable factor. The first season in the premier was full of dead and fear about continual hammerings and this was a...

This topic was mentioned on South Today last night.
If Downes is the defensive coach and Dillon is.....Dillon then he could be the offensive coach.
This is association football not American football at our club,is it?

Not a particularly surprising sequel to the 0-0 draw at the Madejski in all honesty. We struggled to create anything of note today and if we managed to string five passes together in sequence I'd be surprised. I thought Lita worked hard and was probably our best performer attacking-wise. He showed ...

One has to wonder if Harps has given further thought to a few years living in the sh*t hole known as Middlesbrough :mrgreen: Money really isn't everything...................... There is some fabulous countryside around 'Boro and wonderful coastline. I very much doubt that millionaire footballers li...
