Re: Is the prem

Yes it is. But the difference is in Haggis land it's always been the same 2. Today it's Man City & Liverpool. But when the PL first started it was Man United & Arsenal. I don't think there's ever been a season when there have been 3 or more clubs challenging for top place going into the last...

Re: youth football

As I've mentioned before the pinnacle of my career was playing for Luton Reserves at Highbury where I was detailed the job of marking a certain Frank Stapleton. That was the 90 minutes of my life when I realised I probably wasn't going to be good enough to make the grade. ;) Others also reached the ...

Re: Bournemouth vs West Ham Official Match Thread

Never seen him...my comments strictly based on attendees reporting him best player on the pitch at Oxford. And I've no idea how successful loaning out is, Rice wasnt loaned out,Noble was but did he need to be?, I dont know if Managers see it as a way to develop players, or just to get some of the w...

Re: Big 6----Or Not ?

I'm sitting on the fence. It's a possibility. I'm not putting too much relevance on the cup loss which was a game they couldn't give a toss about when they' have been happier at home on X-box. Sad but true. Assume by possibility you mean us ? If there are places up for grabs imo there are a few who...

Re: What do we need in the January transfer window?

Far too early to write Ajeti off imo. In any case I've only watched him once, at Newport, and he was no worse than any other cunt out there that night. And would any decent player want to join us as a back up to Haller, which I guess is where you're going with that reasoning ? I am. But it's true. ...

Re: What do we need in the January transfer window?

In January ? No one. Unless someone we already have on our radar suddenly becomes available. January purchases are normally a result of panic and more often than not are a waste of money. Not to mention time and effort. Agree to an extent but if anything happened to Haller we're fucked. I thought A...

Re: Embarrassed again with no gain

What did the old wrinkly face fucker have to say after the humiliation? I dont necessarily blame him, the team put out was easily good enough and if you have to tell a £20m or £30m player (or young fringe players) that they need to work hard in a cup game then we might as well give up. Basically ag...

Re: Big 6----Or Not ?

No big six this season. But next season normal service will be resumed. And what an opportunity we would have had this season, for the reasons you've already mentioned. With just a bit of ambition and an extra quality or two additions to our squad, we may just have upset the apple cart. But such is...

Re: Bournemouth vs West Ham Official Match Thread

Maybe Holland was withdrawn early from the debacle to rest him for a debut,J ? Have you actually seen this lad in action Mike ? I've only seen the odd clip and he looks decent. But surely if he does have some potential shouldn't he be out on loan like Diangana as he doesn't seem to feature in the f...
