the rules say they can't regardless of what should or shouldn't be and i know how pissed off i was when boro dropped alan miller (their MotM for the previous 3 games) in favour of gary walsh on the last day of THAT season.

probably not. if wolves had rested one or two players i doubt anything would have been said.

could well be saturday but i hope it's sheff utd.

they gave him time to settle in. we'd have been on his back and wanted him peddled.

Ate all the pies. Whey Aye, but why should that upset Magorific so much? obviously been texting magorifics lass. The pes? dispenser ?

Zip..... but then I've also lost zip. I only ever 'bet' when I can influence the outcome.. it really is a mugs game. Nonsense, it's only a mugs game if you make it a mugs game, plenty of people can and do make livings from it. Probably the ones that can influence the outcome i've been in profit the last 3 years.. after putting an original £25 into the account, which was then matched by the company, bet won, took out my original stake. since then i've took over £600 out and had to put £25 in. £225 in the kitty now and i promise i wont take any out for holidays,xmas etc. this time till its really worth it. i know people who have won a lot more....aswell as some who've lost a lot more but then, i'm a very conservative punter.

so far for tomorrow i've went for ajaax and rubin kazan singles. hopefully to join them up with odd greenland and tromso (due to getting better odds taking singles at differing times and playing it that way on betfair) maybe even have a small flutter on lillestrom/rosenborg if things went well in the 1-30 starts. cheers Mr zero for the run down and backing up what i was thinking of doing.

i was one.

how so. at the end of last season he would have been a definite starter in most peoples first XI's

Another thing they could do is what Espanyol did when they were broke and they were still fan-owned (so money couldn't be injected directly). Their sugar daddy bought players on his own accord and he loaned them to Espanyol free of charge. What I mean with all this, is that this rule can probably easily be circumvented if someone really wants to. or in the same way that clubs who have common ownership cant play each other (remember ENIC a while back) then a club couldn't be sponsored by a company with similar influence.

http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=25437&view=findpost&p=663645 We've hardly had any injury trouble. taylor out for most of the season,barton out for all of it,ameobi was supposed to be first choice this season,then enrique. Exaggeration to say Taylor's been out "most of the season"... he's played more than half the games. And Enrique's played three quarters....there's only 6 players who've had more games. ok then. by the time the season finishes taylor will have missed more than half the season, barton stands and so does ameobi......that was supposed to be the spine of the team. i'll bet our injuries have been as bad if not worse than most others.

its at the reebok

benched or out of squad ?

i was very tempted as i posted earlier but the odds seemed a bit stingy with under twenty left.

saying as my shrewsbury/man utd bet has tumbled i've moved man utd into a four timer with malaga/barce/twente. if the first two come in i have some room for manouvere with the barce game kicking off half way through the second half and mallorca have cracking home form.

could you PM next time you plan on backing against darlo. they have it in for one of us. cheers.

you know shrewsbury will get one back to get us all excited.

i'm fiarly sure i've backed against darlo on each of their 3 wins so far this season.

arsenal approaching evens....if they bring arshavin or eduardo on before the 20mins left point i might jump in.

kk didn't have to make many tough decisions. kelly wasn't good enough and peacock left on compassion. Not one Newcastle fan thought Kelly wasn't good enough to at least be given a chance in the PL, the lad had just banged in 28 goals or something, including a hattrick in his last appearance. That was a brave and tough decision by KK. The line we got from the club was that Peacock was sold because of some birth defect with his new born, not sure that was the real reason, doesn't seem too much logic in it, why the need to move to London ? Both he and his wife were grown adults and had no need to be around their family for support, it's not as if his wife would have had to work to make ends meet. He was sold for football reasons, and again a brave decision as Peacock had been one of our best players but the signing of Cole had signalled his departure. KK also got rid of the likes of Sheedy, Killer and Micky Quinn, all whom had seen their better days but he was ruthless in jetisoning them. There are many clubs that are happy to reward the bulk of their playing staff who got them up with the chance to prove they can perform at the top level, KK did not take any passengers with him as he brought the club up. We have to do the same again. Great post - I mentioned this about Kelly a few days ago when saying that I wouldn't have Lovenkrands in the side if we got promoted to the Prem. As you say afar, most fans were shocked when KK let Kelly go - even SJH, although backing KKs decision, personally assured Kelly he would always be welcome at SJP, and thanked him for his great contribution over 2 seasons(his goal against Pompey kept us up in '92). I made the point that Kelly was a better player than Lovenkrands, both in his goals scored and all round team contribution - AND he was 3 years younger... KK had seen how ruthless Shankly could be at Liverpool, when he got rid of the likes of St.John and Yeats when he thought they were past it - even though they had helped him bring Liverpool from being a run-of-the-mill Div 2 side to one of the best in England ; Keegan was right to do what he did and that is exactly what we will need to do if promoted because there are several players who are just not good enough for the top league. Whether this happens or not depends on either Ashley being prepared to fork out the funds to replace them, or his replacement as owner(in the unlikely event of him selling)doing the same. There is also the question of the manager's backbone too....! kelly and loven are different style players in vastly differing teams so it's diffiuilt to say who was better. (i'd like to know how many loven would have got in that team) kk didn't get rid of killer till 2004 when he was well past it as was sheedy when he left. we did keep players who seemingly werent up to it and only got rid when we could (killer,scott,o'brien) 1994 my mistook. however he wasn't got rid of as soon as we got promoted,only we the time was right.

there were a few, not many. maybe cos many went for more seemingly realistic appointments. however once the rumour was out the clamour was on.

I doubt previous stats will have that much bearing on a game as important as this. It would make more sense to compare it to a cup final. ok...in cup finals the better teams and those in form tend to win.
