From Despair To Where? Is that why Sidwell wouldn't sign a new contract?


Because Lita kept knocking on his door and running away?

Re: On this day #5847

Regardless of how warranted It was, it was an appallingly toxic thing for a senior professional to say publicly, especially as he was as culpable as any other player in that squad. You just don't publicly throw 17 and 18 year olds under the bus. Selles alluded to big personalities within the squad h...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

I was brought up on Div3 and Div4 football but I think we should look to take every opportunity available to us. I don't think we're above any level of ambition because we are where we are; a League 1 team on its arse with fcuk all money and a young squad that could walk for peanuts or, in other wor...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

So we should sneer at the chance if a reasonable payday because it's not as "glamorous" as an alternative, less likely one?

We as likely to get drawn away to Sunderland in the 3rd round of the FA Cup and getting humped.

Re: Best/Worst Pundit

As for the post, Lineker debate, it will be Chapman, who's a solid all rounder but if I had to pick an ex pro, Joe Hart always comes across well, albeit, he's quite new to the punditry game.

Re: Best/Worst Pundit

Sure this has been mentioned before, but Peter Drury can feck right off. I am sick of him covering the big game every Sunday. He absolutely screams the players name everytime they have a chance at goal. Anyone that hasn't heard him probably thinks "Of course he does that, it's a key moment&quo...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Winston Biscuit
Brogue I actually think Lampard would be fine in the chump, he did OK at derby albeit with biggest budget in the league at the time.


Finished on less point that the season before


....having loaned half the Chelsea squad.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

To be fair, if, and I accept that's a big if, but if we got to the final we could take 30,000+ to Wembley and that would be a decent pay day.

Re: Refereeing

Really hope it's nothing more than a 'we have warned him about his future conduct', and maybe take him off Liverpool games for a while. I assume it will be a much harder punishment though There's not really any evidence of wrongdoing or corruption... just that he hates Klopp. I dunno if it really n...

Re: On this day #5847

The point is, this is stuff you say behind the scenes, not on record to a journalist. Hutchinson wasn't exactly leading by example, either. (The same could also be said of Dean and Carroll, all senior pros). I believe Selles has said that it was at this point that he realised they have absolutely no...

On this day #5847

12 months ago, we hit our onfield nadir regarding our current circumstances.

The day that Sam Hutchinson publicly outed our academy players as not good enough.

It's an insult of last resort. It's also an insult by people who forget where we've come from.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Calling anyone tinpot is bullshit, in my opinion. Different clubs have different trajectories and just because your club only averages 4,000 or play in a 6,000 capacity stadium, doesn't mean the fans care less about their club. MK:Dons? I'd call them an aberration. I hate MK Dons as much as the nex...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Stevenage are a relatively young club, younger than me, so I'd imagine a lot of their potential fanbase over 40 would have grown up as Luton or Watford fans, They were playing at Conference National level within 20 years of forming. That's pretty good going.

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit 16 PL wins in 12 months for good old Ange.

'Mate'


He has been very successful in pretty much every other managerial job he's had.

The problem at Spurs lies much deeper than who's in the dugout.
