Get in Wood lad!!! knew you had it in you!!!

Wilson hopefully just feeling a bit groggy from his illness during the week. Hopefully.

Unlucky Longstaff. Love a diving header goal me.

Game as fuck, our youth, marra.

Don't forget "the one giving it the big'un got put on his arse"

I must admit, I agree with you, was just playing devils advocate (still hate pug nose Larsson, mind). I haven't been to a match since Fat Sham was manager and I doubt I'll be back. I can't imagine what it's like to be in a stadium when we "score", only for everyone to stand around, picking their arse while we see what excuse they can use to rule the goal out.

Well seeing as you use Derby games as examples, what about Barton being denied a goal by the arm of Larsson, the horrible little cheat running to the linesman pointing at his face? VAR would have overturned that and given us a penalty and a sending off for the Swede after only a quarter of an hour of a game we went on to only win one nowt. And what about Coloccini's sending off a few years later? VAR would have surely helped us there (the red card was later rescinded). In a match where we were the better team, even with ten men, it was hardly believable that we lost that one 3-0.

Fuck them. We had to play three games in the last week of the season when they beat us to the title. So fuck them.

Gordon Lee was unpopular with the fans, selling Supermac and spouting off in the press about wanting a team with no superstars, although his approach was initially successful. Looking back on it, he was very much in the Rafa mould (but without the charm), all about collective team work, positioning and commitment. The Board (rightly) got a lot of stick at that time and they showed their ineptitude by promoting Richard Dinnis, who was too close to the players, a less qualified less able version of a Chris Hughton. Bill McGarry came in with a hard man reputation (Graeme Souness), to keep us up and failed miserably. My mate worked in the press box at the time and he says he's never met a more unpleasant man.

Laughable nonsense. Eddie's doing a fantastic job, but don't let your grudge against Keegan get in the way of the facts.

There is a place called Ham in Wiltshire.

What the Bruno in the middle song? They've been singing something about the "Fulwell rising" to that tune for a couple of years, I'm afraid. Man U song originally, took me years to realise it's sort of the tune of Bad Moon Rising.

5 litre keg between at least three of them - less than 3 pints each all the way to Luton. You'd be finished that by Darlington.

Their record home attendance of over 75,000 was set in a cup game in 1933. The "crowd" for their next home game was under 10,000.

Beggars belief. Does ANYONE know the handball rule these days? Seems we see different decisions about the same things pretty much every game.

Couple of subs needed here. No idea who, like.

If Burn's was a handball, that's a handball.

Shut the fuck up shit for brains Redknapp.

I gave an admittedly superb post in the politics thread POTY status earlier, if I'd seen THIS one first, well....

Why not? We finished fifth under Pardew, indeed should have been third.

As it stands, a draw tomorrow and we go 5th.

Not fancy 4th or 5th like?
