    Xisco

    Lets face it, Xisco was a non-player being payed however many thousand a week to play training games against our starting XI, so we aren't really losing a player as the the managers have all rather played other players/youngsters/new formations/players out of position over playing Xisco, and therefore we are just saving money as best as we can.
  3. Its like a lot of drugs tests where they look at probability distributions and t-tests. There is no exact science, but the limits are generally set to a point where based on existing data there is only about a 1% chance that its natural.
  4. The prizes in football are too great. There are always going to people who are going to lie and cheat if they think they can get away with it. And then when others observe others cheating, they are going to do the same as if you can't beat it join it. Good step by FIFA but they've got to do it for everyone now.
  5. Win or draw and we go top and Hughton wins MOTM. Lose by two goals (low scoring game), go down to fifth 1 point off top, West Brom go top Lose by three goals, go fifth 1 point off top and Leicester go top. Quite a big game compared to some now, although not the end of the world if we lose.

    Was it Graham Roberts Fanbase 410? Apparently they are in although when they went to NUSC, they couldn't provide any major proof thjat they were serious. Aye I think that was it. They reckon they need 2,500 people to sign up or something. How much of us have £25,000+ just going spare? I think they've got a loan, and they plan to pay the money back through a membership scheme where members will get to vote on the manager. Doomed to fail if they pull it off tbh.

    Yes please, what did I miss? Seriously, Moat is close but Barclays aren't playing ball and he has had a deadline extended by the club to sort it. Meanwhile a US-based group are in talks, and there is this guy called redheugh who knows all about this lot and keeps passing on some good stuff.

    It has just started to hot up Blef. Do you need an overview?
  15. You talk bollocks. Harper has shipped 1 goal in 315 minutes of football. Krul has shipped 3 goals in 135 minutes. The 'odd mistake' can be the difference between 3 points and 0 points. What would have happened if the roles had been reversed?
  16. Did you see the Reading match, James? Yep, saves you'd expect any keeper to make.
  17. So you'd gladly lose say... 9 points this season just in order to bed Krul in? Unlikely to cost that many points as we are too good. Truth is that when the goalkeeper get exposed by our defence, Harper and Krul are on a par right now. Krul's springyness makes up for his lack of Harpers experience. Its even stevens between them right now and I'd rather do what is best for the future.
  18. Harper hasn't done much for those clean sheets like that you wouldn't expect any other keeper to do. More down to the team than anything. Fact is Krul has the most potential, and I'd rather give him the first team experience now than later. So what if he makes the odd mistake, at least he's learning something, he won't do that on the bench.
  19. I would play: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Enrique Taylor Guthrie Smith Barton Nolan Ranger if Barton can't make it I'd prefer to play Geremi or Vuckic than Lua Lua.

    Journalism at its worst there in my opinion.
  21. No strikers. Also turns out that Hughton only brought Butt off due to a minor injury, but he's expected to be back for Monday. Fucks sake. Good news though is Barton's back.
  22. Stress injury to the bone, not necessary a fracture.
