Re: Chumps League - It's a knockout

Harry Carry 3rd in the league, FA Cup semi-final and a CL semi-final. We're in dissaray I tell thee!


What's the historical record?
3 league titles in over 100 years?
0 European Cups?
Not much to shout about there then?

Re: Easter weekend footy

Anyone else really enjoy Everton Villa? An afternoon when you felt as though you should be doing something else and it's only Villa v Everton. Cracking game but unfortunately Ashley Young in particular but also Agbonlahor (possible England players again in the future)are turning into divers like Ro...

Re: Back from The game Sheff Utd

A couple of comments on yesterday's game:- for those that said earlier in the season that S Hunt should play in centre midfield take a look at a recording of yesterday's game. The bloke creates havoc and just gets in the way. He is no good there and no f*****g good anywhere-drop him and his alice ba...

Re: The non-league thread 2008/9

Poole Town are still going strong down here-the shame is that they will finish the season with one of the all-time best records but won't get promoted because of the ground facility not being up to scratch. What a downer for the manager of a club that has reached the magic (for us) 106 points from 3...

Re: Chumps League - It's a knockout

readingbedding Lucky Gus = Liverpool failure.


What does that mean?
Do you think that losing one match is a failure?
So Man Utd are by the same logic falures for losing to Liverpool and Fulham and only drawing at home to Porto.
Numbskull.

Re: Chumps League - It's a knockout

Liverpool fail again, another false dawn. Care to define "failure"? I thought Chelsea responded really well last night and as underdogs thoroughly deserved the victory. Drogba and Essien are very important players for them and if they had been fit all season we might have see them as Cham...

Re: Official Coventry Match Thread

we could win every game before the end of the season and come 4th. :shock: And how exactly did you work that out Alistair Darling? It looks as though he is wrong because of the home fixture v Birmingham but I wouldn't argue with a man who has just picked a Grand National winner at 100/1. :wink:

Re: The Ferguson Theory

Floyd, I was with you all the way till 13/14 when you became very silly-surely it would be Kits and Harper as joint managers? BTW I always rated Ferguson as a player and would like to have seen him in our midfield and remember a game at Wrexham when he gave a masterclass in a pass-and-move midfielde...

Re: The shortest you've ever had to travel to a RFC game

I once lived somewhere just off Oxford Road in the summer of 1997, it was just a simple walk down to Elm Park. That was the closest and shortest trip I've ever taken. 78 Waverley Road. Left out of gate, down the road, left, hang a right into TE turnstile. 3 minutes at most. Beauty of being sent to ...

Re: Pardew prepares for Royals return - RUMOUR

Just for Tredder as I know he likes late postings:- Pompey Stoke Swindon Wigan A decent acca but it took Wigan so long to score in a game where they should have had 5 or 6.

Re: palace match thread

I think we'd have all taken 4 points from Doncaster and Palace away if they were offered last Saturday 2 clean sheets too, far from over But would we have taken 5 points from 4 games before the game v Charlton? Our form this year is very close to relegation form but I am hopeful that with Kitson ba...

Re: Dave Kitson!

As much as I like Noel Hunt and feel he's been somewhat hard done by in recent months, he's unlikely to outscore Kitson at this level or above. It seems more than likely that a deal has already been struck for Kitson should we win promotion and I would guess that this will involve little money chan...
