There's little as satisfying in football as watching an away end react to a late winner.
-
Nope. That's why I don't do correct scores anymore.
-
£10 for me from Bet365 too, they've cut my amount since I cut my stakes, was losing too much.
-
Darlow's more agile but far more likely to just hoy the ball in his own net under no pressure.
-
I thought O'Briens goal for us in the premier league was against Coventry in our 2nd game when we lost 2-1 midweek? It was, it was a twice deflected free kick, I think neesy's right.

Shearer - Man Utd Solano - Middlesbrough Robert - Derby Cabaye - West Ham Viana - West Brom Ryan Taylor - mackems Emre - mackems N'Zogbia - Fulham Saivet - West Ham Geremi - Spurs Ba - West Brom Townsend - Palace Speed - Derby Asprilla - Wimbledon Beardsley - Wimbledon Geordiesned, formerly of this parish, has updated me with a Beardsley FK, against Wimbledon in 93/94. So we're just missing one definite.

Shearer - Man Utd Solano - Middlesbrough Robert - Derby Cabaye - West Ham Viana - West Brom Ryan Taylor - mackems Emre - mackems N'Zogbia - Fulham Saivet - West Ham Geremi - Spurs Ba - West Brom Townsend - Palace Speed - Derby Asprilla - Wimbledon These are the 14 we've got confirmed with a specific goal. Other 2 could be from Beardsley, Albert or Liam O'Brien (though that may have been an own goal).

I cant argue, that is true. But I watched Stoke City dominate Man City a couple of seasons ago, and they just went for it. That City side apart from KDB last night was weaker than ive seen. Especially throwing fernandinho into the back four. Pep was laughing inside fully aware we had bottled it. The season Stoke beat Man City, the latter finished 4th with 66 points. This Man City side, although they share quite a few players, have so far got 58 from an available 60. You're comparing apples and oranges, this side has the potential to obliterate every top flight record going, in terms of points and goals - they've already smashed the consecutive wins one. It's not a case of going for it against *random top four team who are good but will still lose ten games a season*, this could go down as the greatest team ever to play football in England.

Definitely has. There are plenty where two other players run over the ball and then he just blasts it into the corner. PL site says he hasn't. https://www.premierleague.com/players/194/Peter-Beardsley/stats Scroll down - says free kick goal information (and most other stats) are only available after 2006/07.
-
Allen scored our first PL goal IIRC with a FK that took a deflection? Good shout. Wikipedia has that as an own goal so fuck knows if that's even in the 15 (the original information is from the BBC match report of the West Ham game).
-
Is Beardsley a definite? We assumed he had but couldn't name a goal which we could for all the others.
-
Pretty sure Sellars didn't. He only scored 3 in the PL according to Wikipedia and I watched all of them on YouTube earlier.
-
That's the same list we've got, plus Tino Asprilla but minus Albert. My friend remembered him scoring one in the cup but wasn't sure about the league.
-
Apparently Saivet was the 16th player to score a direct free kick in the Premier League for us, and only Everton and West Ham have had more scorers (17). Who are the other 15? So far my mate and I have got 12 but we're struggling beyond that.
-
What a curious appointment.

Strikes me as quite a clever gameplan against this lot and I wouldn't be surprised to see other teams at the arse end of the table try and execute it in the next few weeks - defend resolutely, let them have a one goal lead so the battering isn't relentless, then try and pinch a goal and a point in the last ten minutes. You've probably got more chance of a point if you're attacking them on 85 minutes needing one goal, then having them coming at you with the score 1-1 at the same stage, based on their relentless nature this season when they really need a goal. Not pretty like and not particularly heartening to have to resort to such tactics at home but this Man City side are to be treated as a special case.

I have it on good authority that Dave makes his posts from in the warm as well, the cowardly little tweeb.

Interesting stats them. I'm quite intrigued to see how he does now. Slightly incorrect actually, he did take Gillingham up from the 4th tier in 2nd place in 1995. You can tell they were his team like, check out the goals for and against compared to everyone else. height=600https://i.imgur.com/TGQba6d.png[/img]

I see nowt in him to say he's a sure thing to take them up. Playing for promotion where you have to win every week is very different from the way he's been managing for the last ten years. His promotion with Stoke was a career first, in any division, and the last team to be promoted from the second tier with a lower points total than Stoke got was in 1988.

Hope everyone on N-O has a very Merry Christmas.

3 match ban for Charlie Austin.

Cabaye's last game. Scenes at Upton. My last away game.
-
I would imagine if this person genuinely lives next door to him that there's very little chance of it being accidental.
