Ryan Taylor is only a throwback in that he's a scouser with not much pace He'll be on less money, do a lot less drinking than Nolan and has a lot less baggage than Barton (like that's hard). He als.o managed to successfully agree a new contract, is a lot more versatile than those two, and is considerably less of a billy big boots and potential problem in the dressing room. Plus, over the wall 1-0 fuck the mackems etc

He's like the wizard behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, relaying an image of greatness and power above all others, until he is found out and is shown up to be worthy of absolutely nothing. I for one hope that he gets a tonne of Championship offers and none from the Premier League - should he have any pride left, he'd accept an offer from a promotion chasing team and earn his final year(s) in the Premier League by attempting to fire them to the top of the Championship table. Of course, this won't happen - he'll either sign for a really shit PL team and play a dozen games before getting injured, or he'll merely retire and concentrate on the one thing he actually seems to enjoy, having shit racehorses.

I think this transfer is probably taking a while to get going because Danny is driving from Newcastle to Reading in reverse.
-
Mignolet is a standard enough 6/10 Premier League keeper at the moment, although he's young and could get quite a bit better yet.
-
He isn't a coward but he never, ever takes responsibility or criticism for what is blatantly his and his alone's error: see that Bellamy freekick goal at Anfield, which was pretty much wholly Simpson's fault. He passes the buck. The non-challenge at Brighton really annoyed me too. On a booking so doesn't even attempt to get to the ball or use his strength etc.

I'm willing to bet this is a wind-up.

Both losing, both odds on ffs
-
Bet we manage to get goals later when the Germans run out of steam.

pardew out

Have we scored yet? etc

Ryder says: Williamson captain New kit looks lush on Chemnitzer played Blaydon Races pre kickoff

£5 on us and Hannover to pay £13.90

Good.

Nigel Adkins has always impressed me as a manager. I remember his enthusiasm when Scunthorpe were playing Man City in the FA Cup third round, his interview was absolutely delightful. It was like a dad going to watch his bairn play for the first time and he could hardly contain himself.

If Dempsey goes, it'll hurt Fulham but I don't think it'll impact them enough to send them down. They're a good team at home.
-
Allardyce is programmed to keep teams in the division and he'll grind enough points out to keep West Ham above danger. Swansea I think will regress slightly but not enough for them to go down.
-
QPR, West Brom and Wigan (finally!) for me like. Might even stick a few quid on it. Also tempted to see what price I can get for Watford and Notts Forest to go down after they've changed hands.

what really got me about McLeish was that even when Villa were dominating us at SJP, playing some really nice football on the deck and only being denied by good last-ditch defending or Krul's reflexes, he was going absolutely fucking mental on the touchline. Ranting and raving, angrily bellowing at his players, petulantly waving his arms at them etc. Then you had an optimist like Pardew who is constantly clapping and encouraging his players - "brilliant Cheik", "well done so-and-so" etc. Totally different approach and sort of fitting that it won the game. Of course, brummie will probably give a better insight than me. But that negative attitude really irked me, even as an opposition fan. EDIT: and of course the fact he abandoned the successful on-the-floor football that had gotten a foothold in the game at 1-1 after the interval and resorted to mindless long punts from the centre-halves for no apparent reason

No Ferguson?
-
List void, there's no Alan Curbishley on it.
-
We don't need him, simple as.
