  1. Getting back on topic, and can’t be arsed to look for them, but: Olispence working abroad for the Summer but coming home after a couple of weeks. Zico stalking a mates Mrs who he thought was having an affair. of posters who I miss, Zozzy.
  2. Also looking for Derby, and would be equally grateful.
  3. Just saying to my lad that Derby seem to have more players sent off against them any other team, another tonight.
  4. Went a couple of weeks ago for three nights. We booked a day tour which covered a crater, the geysers, secret lagoon and the parliamentary place. Blue lagoon had just reopened, but we booked before when it was still closed. tour included the northern lights, but they weren’t active so didn’t see them. Did whale watching and there was a few in the harbour, so still may be there. The city is quaint, £10 a pint is average, half price happy hour in the Irish bars. enjoy.
  5. I’m 20 miles from Northampton and it’s been pissing down all day, forecast better over the next two days. Problem on Tuesday was Cambridge’s pitch is shit anyway and had poor drainage, Northampton’s ground’s only 20 years old or so so should be able to handle a couple of days of rain.
  6. That’s an arse, was hoping there be some left for open sale.
  7. Thanks for the offer, but another poster off has already sorted me.
  8. Not being a season ticket holder, I might have half a chance of getting tickets for this one.
  9. Mine was Brentford away in 1990, we lost 4-2. My lads was the 5-4 loss at Peterborough. Mainly doing away’s in the south, I’m not convinced he saw us win until a couple of years ago, though making up for it now.
  10. Anyone know how many are left for open sale on Monday?
  11. Ainsworth will be back at Wycombe before the years out.
  12. Sunderland v Newcastle is nailed on to be on TV
  13. I remember that being said when we played Bradford in the 90’s. We were near the bottom of the Prem and they were near the top of league 1 or whatever it was called then and pundits put it down as a potential upset. We won easily 3-0 despite Wayne Jacob’s being better than Messi for them apparently. I don’t think it’ll be as easy as some are saying.
  14. Can’t complain with that, will be home by 6.
  15. Couldn’t have gone any better today. Tuesday is massive.
  16. Has Goldstein stopped turning every discussion to Man Utd yet. Still an improvement on Durham in any case.
  17. I think there is a lot of reasons why, and am in a long running debate with my son over this, so to summarise. Foreign owners just don’t trust English managers for whatever reason. They’d rather risk Wolfsburg reserve team coach rather than an up and coming young English manager. This has long been the case in the premier league and is now becoming a worrying trend in the championship. A lot of decent English young managers aren’t a name so don’t get given a chance, yet the likes of Lampard get decent jobs over these. Good players don’t often make good managers and bas players can make god managers. Fergie, Wenger and Mourinho weren’t good players. Foreign managers/a big name are often touted for big job for example Vincent Kompany was a possible for the Spurs job based on one season at Burnley, when winning the league with the best squad in the league, yet the same isn’t afforded to english managers who do well the championship. Not enough English managers try their luck abroad, that said, even if they did and were successful I don’t believe they would be given a chance at a big English club. British media doesn’t help, if an English manager does well at a small club in the premier league, pundits then say that they need to test themselves at a Villa or Everton rather then saying they should get a chance at a bigger club. I know it would carry risk but moving to a so called slightly bigger club usually fails as below the top 6 or 7 is generally a level playing field. Those who have had a chance have cocked it up. Potter at Chelsea, though doesn’t seem so bad as the current big name is doing no better. Hopes pin on Eddie Howe, but everyone knew the finger was on the trigger and the new owners were itching to get rid to get a bigger foreign manager in. Probably for the reasons above. Grass roots coaching courses in England are abysmal.
  18. The only way they will survive is through other uses of the stadium and events in their arena. Winkelman was naive to think that it’ll take a generation and by now all the local youth would be supporting them as their local club. He didn’t seem to take into account that MK is a majority of London overspill so most youth either support the team of their family history, or a glory hunters supporting one of the big clubs. Crowds have hardly changed in the 20 years they’ve been in existence and the stadium is absolutely soulless. Reap what you sow.
  19. Over reliance on wing backs who are just not good enough. Midfield 3 are not clicking. Really missing Lee. We’re not as good as we think we are. First time in since we got taken over where I’m starting to question things.
  20. Making a rare trip up for this one. 2-0
  21. Should have been 3 up at halftime, had victor scored his two chances then great. His second and easier miss seemed to give them a second wind.
  22. Norway are shit so a chance that Haaland may never play in a major tournament, so if it’s swung on the World Cup performance Haaland may be at a disadvantage every other year.
  23. Pretty sure he was just being his smug self in this instance, because the goal came from an advantage he gave rather than blowing for a foul in the build up. It was a clip on one of Sky’s football funniest. Bloke is still a proper bellend though.
  24. I see the guy with his Come on You Imps every 5 minutes is still posting. Now adding a copyright!
