  1. Thought Martins' effort in the first half would have been a brilliant goal (and would have looked great on TV) if Keller hadnt have pulled off a good save. Great long pass from Enrique and great turn and shot from Oba. All round good football
  2. I wouldn't even quote that fictional table as I'd hate to think anybody thought I'd done it, even only for a second. Maybe he did next seasons table... only explanation really

    I bet they are absolutely gutted every time they see that goal... which they will do for many years to come As mental as I went about that goal, when we squeezed one in two minutes later to win the game was probably a better moment... still buzzing from that and then the realisation that we'd somehow stolen 3 points when we didn't really even deserve one. There are probably dozens of examples of why not to leave early but I think you have just described as good as one as possible there.

  5. Well done with his goal and general performance, but I think that sort thing is utterly pointless and pathetic. Not much more than a "show". See, I disagree with this big time. On a team that has been lacking confidence, getting the lads pumped up can only help. I give credit to Viduka for doing the same thing. There were a couple of occasions earlier in the fisrt half when I saw him encouraging other players. At one point Enrique advanced up the left side and attempted a canny pass that almost slipped past the defender to Viduka's feet. The pass was knocked away and as both Viduka and Enrique turned back to defense the cameras caught Viduka raising his fist and nodding his head towards Enrique as if to say "great job recognizing the opportunity and the pass was almost there." I guess part of my point is that it's awfully hard to be creative when you are afraid to make a mistake and this team has played kind of scared for a while. What I saw today was a team that started to come out it's shell a little and not be afraid to take a few chances. I think experienced finishers like Viduka and Owen leading the cheers is a good thing and I hope they continue doing so. Plus, this season, a lot of people have been saying that we havent had any leaders on the pitch and that we dont appear to have a natural leader. The huddle suggested to me that Owen is trying to take on that role.

    Today's other games

    You have the other bottom clubs to play at home as well havent you mate. Hope things improve by then... whos next in line ?
  7. Well done with his goal and general performance, but I think that sort thing is utterly pointless and pathetic. Not much more than a "show". Anything that potentially improves morale is worthwhile IMO. I always felt Owen was a bit aloof but recently, he seems to come out of his shell a lot more and just seeing that clip of the huddle showed a side of Owen that I hadnt seen before. Was encouraging. Definite upwards change in his demeanour since KK has come in

    Aye. Your all right of course. Time to banish the negative thoughts.

    What hasnt helped was seeing their last 3 results here (SSN showed them earlier).... 1-2, 1-1, 1-4. Excellent record which I am sure it being drummed into them at every given opportunity Don't give a fuck about the stats tbh. This is our chance to drag ourselves out of it and we'll take it. Chin up, mate. Be brave. Oh aye I mate. The butterflies are less because I do feel a little something clicked on Monday night. I am just a little nervous about getting over-confident. I Remember being in this same position 87(?) (Easter Weekend too) when we played Sheff Wed at home .... it went bloody horribly wrong that day. 1-3 defeat. Edit... 27th March 1989

    Oba...Obafem

    Hope your right. Am really hoping that he is fired right up for this one after his disappointment at being substituted at Birmingham.

    They arent as bad as Monday night but I can feel them coming back now. I know they will be worse when I wake up in the morning
  13. I have been down here 12 years now and genereally the older, snotty nosed ones pronounce it So-lee-hull. The ultra snotty's will tell you that it is in Warwickshire and not the West Midlands (was many years ago)
  14. Thats what I am doing today here in Solihull although in saying that, this business park is like a ghost town today Don't suppose you work for Lloyds in Solihull? Nah mate. On the Cranmore Business Park. Usually cars parked everywhere. Didnt recognise the place without them everywhere so most of the people there must have been off today

  16. The only way to go. Got to go for continuity and allow them to carry on the good work done during the 2nd half at Birmingham
  17. Just been talking about this at work this morning. We reckon Sky got it banned cos it didnt suit the schedule
  18. Helps hammer home the fact that the rest of us are completely insignificant as far as the Premier League and Sky are involved
  19. What the fu..... He was only here for a fornight before the window closed man. Long enough. To get shite mercenary players who know we are so desperate they will demand unrealistic money and then not justify it no where near long enough to get the type of quality he would have wanted.

    Nah. Gallardo is too small. Doesnt havent any real presence on the road and doesnt stand out. Murcielago is an absolute beast of a machine and would turn the head of any non-petrolhead.

    I've only saw that and his black Porsche at his Mam's. Whoevers owns that, they are my new favourite player. That is my dream car to end all dream cars. Jaw-droppingly awesome car. It did look stunning, Beye has got a Gallardo with French plates aswell. Very nice...
