Colos Short and Curlies

Without the last page that's simply the drunk ramblings of an old Dutchman remembering the 80s and early 90s

I was thinking it must be a capped capacity tonight, but that cap is over 50k so little over half 'full'

Doesn't really matter how he does between now and then, but I'll be shitting myself if Fulham get a corner or freekick on 85 mins+ in our last game of the season. You.Just.Know.It

That just reminded me of the '95/96 season for some reason. What a joy those days were, its like an alternate universe currently. For me Football, and the Premier League in particular, has become too 'perfect' for its own good. Look at the top teams and players now and they are such athletes they are like machines. Compare this to the mid 90s and all of the top teams and players had at least one flaw or a characteristic in their game that would not be tolerated today. More teams however had at least one player who was a genuine entertainer and match winner. I don't think you'd get a debut like Wanchope's now, and Ginola probbaly wouldn't be in a top 6 side. Le Tissier? Doubt he'd be a premiership starter. OR maybe its just the advertising hoardings and shirt sponsors in the 90's were more fun

That's not fucked, its not even foreplay

Not even the best 11 that Keegan put on the pitch for is there. Which kinda proves the point all the more. I'd maybe have Fernandez partnering Albert though, as much as I liked Howey and Peacock was unfairly maligned at times we did miss someone who just put themselves between ball and goal at times

Ah man, Aguero could have been our number nine :-(

If it was written well and had the facts checked before inclusion wouldn't F365 publish a fans piece on our record with pens/reds/decisions in general? There's enough there even without NUFC bias to make it an interesting read - the length of time since the last red, the penalty vs Burton (?) in the Championship, going full seasons without a penalty etc. These are statistical anomalies and just pure comical officiating which are the things that seem to make their pages. I'm no good at writing stuff like this but we have a few budding scribes on here don't we?

Clicked on page 47 randomly, Tiotes goal against City 2014. One of the first posts referenced us not getting a penalty at all the previous season. This shit is as old as the navtity

Is there a website that would have the stats for the number of red cards and penalties awarded for and against each team over a period of time?

He made up for his kicking with his quick long throws though (PS)

Can see this, well either this or a hat trick

I say as someone in finance who has had detailed and light touch exposure to NDAs in business or part of business sales that anyone who let anything out the bag - even to a colleague - would be frog marched straight into a disciplinary. There will be rumours of course and some of these will become 'fact' but these cant be trusted at all as nobody outside the NDA will know anything

Nufctv Sign him up here and spam him with a load of PMs and links to this thread

Brexit or Maxit, which one is more likely to go ahead before the end of March?

Even Dalglish at times went fuck it and played all 3

Definitely recall it being Ferdinand or Asprilla that had to be sold and Dalglish chose Asprilla after having assurances he was settled. Come Jan he had gone as well. Ferdinand not going back on agreeing to sign for Spurs was due to him being told he wasn't in Dalglish's plans, selling one or the other was a board/plc requirement

Doesn't Borini have a decent record at SJP? As long as he knows which onion bag to put it in

Aren't the Arsenal owners technically a consortium?

Sort of team we'll lose by 2 to at SJP

They are 6th mind, an away point to a top 6 team is always decent I just mean a Newcastle United not shackled by Ashley wouldn't be where we are. However I am really happy with the result, not taking anything away from it, all the players can hold their heads high after that Yeah I get that, and it was clear in your post but even if we were top 4 under new owners I'd still take a point away to the teams in the top 6. Only City and maybe Liverpool this season should be disappointed with a point here, albeit I reckon at least 4-5 teams will leave Goodison with 3 points

They are 6th mind, an away point to a top 6 team is always decent

10 points from the last 15. Will take that Could do with another 8-10 before 3rd round weekend though and there's some tough games in that run

Had a dream the other night that Murphy scores a 25 yard screamer in the top corner. Obviously laughed it off - Murphy actually getting game time! - but maybe its a premonition. Not going to put a tenner on it mind

Transfer record intact. tick
