Krul shouldn't be made number one based on that performance alone. It was a fairly impressive, if not giddy, 45 minutes from him where he made some excellent stops and commanded his area. Definitely wasn't without fault though with his insistence of wanting to come for every ball, sometimes needlessly. If Harper is feeling OK for the Reading game let him play and give Krul a start in the league cup games so he can get more of a taste for it. Throwing Krul in straight away could be detrimental, especially if he lets in a few soft goals and his confidence drops.

HAH!

Apparently it's ankylosing spondylitis http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/news/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=News&tBrand=ENOnline&tCategory=news&itemid=NOED23%20Jun%202007%2006:16:43:093

What the hell has happened to Gunns face?!

Conceded 2 against Orient again today, did Foster.

Not Lincoln? Yeah, he's been first choice for a while, second half or so of last season. Good 'keeper, him and Jenkins are the ones we hope will cement themselves as regular first teamers from the young'uns this year. Just had a glance and he went on loan to Boston when he was at Lincoln in 2005. His dad's a doorman, I worked with him in a casino in Nottingham a few years back. The guy that used to play with him spoke highly of him.

Scott Loach now first choice at Watford GG? I used to work with his dad and an ex team mate of his at.. Boston I think?

Stung by a wasp. Hah.

I always enjoy championship matches because of the fans, it feels much more real than away at Old Trafford. Every away match is going to be a big jizz ball of fun for me no doubt.

I think it'll be an alright show, nothing brilliant. I'm happy that the lower league fans have something like this straight after MOTD instead of early on a Sunday morning.

11th I think

Going for the draw I see.

Barton for Carroll? Get Nolan off! Leggy as fuck.

We're currently in the relegation zone.

Good crowd.

We are the only league club in the country not to sign a player this off-season. Ridiculous.

I wouldn't have minded Sven when he expressed an interest before Allardyce came in and I said so at the time. He went to Man City, got out his contacts book and got them into Europe. He may have had a somewhat uninspiring turn of the year in that season but he still got them into europe and this is a team that looked absolutely knackered after the 2006/2007 season. He is considered a cheque book manager, but is contacts throughout the world of football will mean that Notts County are bound to get some good unheard of players that should be able to walk the likes of League 2. Time will tell I guess.

Can't really argue with what Lawro said there. What an upside down world we now live in.

Nolan will probably play a bit more of an advanced role in midfield just behind Carroll based on pre-season. To be honest I don't think that playing a 5 man midfield against West Brom away from home is a terrible idea. Most of the midfield appears to be a load of cloggers and our striker is something of a target man. Sounds about right for the Championship all in all. Win draw or lose I won't be worrying about our Championship safety just yet. Didn't Sunderland lose the first 4 on the trot in their promotion season?

I'm not overly bothered that he got his final payday at Man United to be honest. He'll probably do well enough, get a few injuries and score enough goals to keep him on the highlight reel... may even get back into the England squad and become the media darling with his clean cut image again. ..I can't really say I care though. So what? He drained this club or resources for 4 long years and played a part in our downfall to a certain extent but on the other hand he's no longer our problem. I don't care what happens to any of our ex players, whether they deserve what they get or not. He just means nothing to me.

Done and dusted or early stages? I wouldn't be too bothered if he went to Villa to be honest.

Was it actually reported on SSN that we'd turned down a bid for Beye? All I remember is perma-tan hinting at it.

Thats the first time I've seen the 3rd kit, really like it actually. Shame they couldn't lose the stupid box on the Northern Rock sponsor on the home kit.
