Re: Our position could be so much worse

It's not a witch hunt. But the facts speak for themselves. 1 year. 38 league games. 30 points. Folk are blaming Coyle cos like y'know it is his fault. There's more than a globule of truth in this! Of course, we were also stitched up by the fixture computer (was it reprogrammed by one G Megson, I wo...

Re: Wanderers v Swans

I think Josh Vela could feature in Saturdays match The gave him 70 mins in the reserves last night, and i'd like to see him on the bench again, if not in the team. Keep hearing good things about him maybe its time he had a crack Yeah, let's chuck in an unproven kid, whilst you deride our most consi...

Re: Wanderers v Swans

Zat Knight in Centre Mid?!?! At least Ream in centre mid kind of made sense. If we HAVE to play a defender there it should be Ream or Ricketts. Steinsson at a push. Ream, Ricketts or Steinsson might make better sense except for the fact that we kinda need them in defence. Is Riley fit? Anybody know...

Thanks. Looked at that this morning. Wasn't it about the Carry On team, tho? :wink:

Thanks. That's finally answered the question 20-odd thousand Wanderers fans have been asking all season - what is Pratley?! :?

ps Have you tried telling this to Pratley? Just a thought. It might help him. Something has to. Surely? :wall:

Video technology - dragging footie into 21st century?

Last night - in what turned out to be utterly forlorn anticipation of hearing commentary on Arsenal's thumping victory over the Piemen - I tuned in to 5Live and was "treated" to yet another panic-fuelled, reactionary rant on the evils of video technology from Mottie and the crew. 'It'll slow the gam...

Re: El Hadji Diouf arrested after Manchester club fight

I once had a chat with Shah Khan, Amir's dad, whose assessment of the Pilgrim (El Hadji) went as follows; 'He's alright, Diouffy but, when he's had a drink, he's an animal!' QED. (Naturally, for legal reasons, I shall deny all knowledge of this and, if the police come to call, I have never met nor s...

Re: Wanderers v Swans

I'd be more confident if we had some kind of replacement for Muamba to give us greater ball-winning clout in midfield. When OC plays 4-5-1 using Pratley and Mavies, Pratters canters all over the pitch never quite reaching the ball and Mavies reverts to his Greta Garbo impression ('I vant to be alone...

Re: QPR thread

[ quote="TANGODANCER"]So, to sum up the QPR game ( or at least as the media see it) : It was a tragedy they lost and didn't get the three points (even if the "no goal" had been allowed they wouldn't have done that), it's okay for them to get corners that weren't, and score from offside positions, th...

Wanderers follower for fifty-plus years, even though I'm only 29 (in my head). Desperately want to believe in OC - if only he can grasp the 4-5-1 grail (at least till Stu Holden and Lee Chung Yong return). Former academic, now freelance writer. COYWM!
