Accrington away in semi could have been much worse
Can we get it moved to a decent ground?
We'll have to move to a neutral ground if we want to play on a decent pitch.
Ewood's looking pretty good.

We do need a new pitch.
I'd wager that there isn't a better one in this league, and plenty a site worse.
Have you seen it today Bruce? One wag described it as balder than Iles.
That'll have been one of you hirsute types, showing off. :D

Can’t claim i put the kettle on for the goal but it did come just as my “brew time elapsed” alarm went off.
I missed it because I nipped downstairs to nip the lid off a cold one. Hmmmmmmm. :)

Re: No Shoot Sherlock..Home to Portsmouth 14th Jan. 3-o'clock.

Not enthused thus far. Ok for twenty minutes. Then let them back in the game. We lack energy and drive all over the park. And Pompey are rubbish. With Dapo going and Baka gone and Bod maybe injured for a while (he didn’t look happy at all) it leaves us with a significant volume of recruitment. Numb...

Re: Where are you going tonight?

Off to see 'A Man Called Otto' this evening. By the looks of things, it follows a very similar structure to films such as 'Gran Torino'.

Still, it has Tom Hanks in it who I'm always more than happy to watch.

Have to say, Tango, that if you were looking for a literary reference, I thought you might have gone with something from Charles Dickens, what with it being his birthplace. :) Anyway. Talk this morning of them sounding out Robbie Keane for the managerial vacancy. Oh, I do hope so. That'll stop them ...

Re: What are you reading tonight?

I believe that in his book, Harry Windsor admits to drug-taking. Narr then, we possibly need Monty on this one but does that not jeopardise him returning to the US? Or is a conviction required?

There's the other side, though - with Evatt only half joking when he said he felt dirty using Williams' long throw as a weapon.
Or having a bunch of plans for set-pieces, but that's another discussion. :D

Re: So good they want to play us twice...Home to Portsmouth, Football League Cup Tues 10th Jan 7-45.

When we were higher up the leagues and not at immanent risk of collapse we used to fly to the south coast games, because it was more cost efficient. Except when the financial reality hit someone actually bothered to check and it turned out it was way more expensive. Not least because you still need...

Re: So good they want to play us twice...Home to Portsmouth, Football League Cup Tues 10th Jan 7-45.

Since it's 250 miles from the Unibol, might I be right in thinking the Pompey squad wold stay local rather than make the journey twice in five days? I might b entirely wrong, but the travelling would hardly help matters. Flights from Southampton to Manchester (and vice versa) only take just over an...

Re: Where are you going tonight?

I paid just under £70 to see Counting Crows play The Apollo a couple of months back, which I 'think' is the most I've ever paid to see a single band. As it happened, it was without a doubt the best performance I've seen them give in around 30 years of following them. Just outstanding. Regarding the ...
