No team ( however talented ) can maintain peak performance. It now looks like we peaked at Peterboro and are now going into a lull period. The level dropped significantly v Exeter but we got an early goal and had nothing to beat. Woking worked their socks off and we lacked ideas and now we've...
Got a feeling we may be experiencing our blip period...two poor performances on the trot....just hope it hasn't been prompted by Gus's changes v Woking. They always say keep a winning side...momentum and all that.
Barnes is not and will not be a great player for us.
The liberal use of ' great ' in every walk of life, devalues the efforts of people who deserve this title.
After you have used ' great ' there is nowhere elese to go...you have to call virtually everybody in the team ' great '
Now, lets look...
Thats great as in Pele, Maradona, Puskas, Zidane is it?
That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen....he is ( at present ) an ordinary journeyman footballer in the lower divisions. He is not a clinical finisher, thats why we picked him up relatively easily and cheaply.
Gus must be...
Quite agree.
Was on the train to Hereford when I heard Fred was being replaced by a young man from the reserves. Very surprised at first but 50 seconds into the game, Fred could have jumped off the end of the pier for all I cared.
Gus has been honest enough about Fran's attributes ( or lack of...
Apologies if this has already been posted but why only a 'limp' mention at the final whistle.
For us older fans, he had a remarkable effect on the club, galvanising the team and turning it from an ordinary Div.4 side into a Championship winning outfit.
After two successive relegations, the club...
If either of the Milliband brothers win, then thats the end of any Prime Ministerial ambition.
Why? Because there has been no Jewish PM since Disraeli and ' the men in grey suits ' will ensure that that continues.
Anti-semitism is still prevalent at the highest levels and talented as these boys...
Initially on a three week trial, he has been released early by the club after failing to impress in the 1-1 draw with Brighton on Tuesday.
Thought he didn't look too bad, back end of last season but even with the loss of Nav we seem to be pretty well off with central midfielders now. I think...
This is my major worry.
We have people saying " they are hoping that Barnes and Holroyd come good "
i.e we are going into an important campaign with two unproven strikers.
You knew where you stood with someone like Forster ( 15-20 gls guaranteed )
We all know we are at least 20 goals light of a...
1) Too much chit chat in the studio
2) Too many texts read out...have one slot towards the end of the show.
3) Have a set time every week for the full time scores...they can be 5.10...5.25...or not at all....suggest they are read out asap...i.e just after 5.00.
4) Start with match reports..the...
I complained at the time only to be told by someone close by that Rochdale were in purple.
Whatever the colour, iit was too close and not easy on the eye.
Leeds got rid of him because he was making more and more mistakes. He wasn't snapped up quickly by another club and had to go on TalkSport to make an impassioned plea to any club listening, that his services were available.
Gus remembers him when his confidence was much higher.
I studied him at...
Saw a bloke outside the County Ground hawking tickets. He had a blackbird with him, dressed up as a wren. She was scratching like mad and I asked if she had thrush. Told her, it was no good swanning around here. Get over to the Heron garage for some Stork margarine and rub it in where the sun...
The BBC commentator was bemoaning that so many of these England players are top Premiership performers but can't seem to turn it on for their country.
So !!!!!!!
Such naivety is embarrassing. The Premiership is not the highest level that players can perform at..that is INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL...
Bloody good centre-half...which prompts the link...name players playing for countries different from their surnames.
e.g
Mike England ( Wales )
Alan Brazil ( Scotland )
Joe Jordan ( Scotland )
Any more?
Received in the post today....
" On behalf of everybody at Aston Villa, we'd like to offer our sincere thanks for your support over the past season. It is deeply appreciated by us at Villa Park and Bodymoor Heath, and across all those that work at the Football Club.
Thank you, and we look...
