  1. And still six more games until the cut off point where it becomes 15 for a ban.
  2. Already have 3 in a row but would add Birmingham on as a 4th. That said we're better away than we are at home.
  3. Unlikely considering he can't even get on the bench at the moment. I'd stick with Darlow, best of an average bunch of 'keepers.
  4. Got no internet cos just moved house and having to ration data on my phone so sitting in the car listening on 5 live (don't own a radio), neighbours must think I'm bonkers.
  5. Not seem him post for a while but if you ask Mick what it was like it would be quite interesting. Think he went to most games that season.
  6. Once every 10 games and normally fucks it up.

    Football pet hates

    Teams are contracted by the supplier to wear their away and third strip 'x' amount of times a season. The feeling behind it is that fans will be discouraged to buy a shirt if it's only worn by the team once. If that's the reason it becomes even more of a hate, especially as the feeling that fans would be discouraged is wrong. Not all teams have the same agreement but a majority do. There was an article a while ago about Norwich(?) discussing why they wore their third kit against Stoke that makes reference to clubs having this contract clause. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3399504/Norwich-City-chose-wear-bizarre-kit-defeat-Stoke-City-Premier-League-rules-it.html I don't even see any need for a thrid strip. For the benefit of fans the FA should bring out a rule that away strips HAVE to be of a colour/design that would mean no need for a thrid strip. For example, our 70's Yellow top blue shorts kit measnt if the Black and white clashed with someone, the away strip couldn't. Not only that but fans would get an attachment to "their" away/change colours. Third strips are about money via shirt sales and little else.

  9. Stones plays for Manchester City. Everton are a bigger club than Man City but not one of the England / media darling clubs where crap players get England call ups all the time i.e. Man United.
  10. Is that meant to be a compliment? Of course! Considering John Stones isn't that good, I wouldn't say it is. The problem is Stones will get England calls, not because he's the best option, but because of the team he plays for. Which is why England struggles I believe Why did he get picked when he played for Everton then? Stones is a very promising young payer, over hyped without doubt and not worth his transfer fee but he will be a top class player for years to come.
  11. If he meant it he wouldn't have missed and just caught the side of the keepers leg. Idiotic yes, deliberate, no.
  12. What were they singing? "Jonjo Shelvey, he hates p***s, makes me feel this way." Group of about 10, so a minority but it's just not fucking on.
  13. Sadly heard a group of our supporters signing racists songs outside the away end.

  15. From where I was, East Stand towards Gallowgate, the atmosphere was pretty good but not great. A lot better than normal.
  16. He should be, but could be struggling for fitness. He's on loan so of course he can't play against his parent club.
