Ash

Good signing.

Anyone else think that Everton to beat Pompey away at EVS is a good price? Also, taken from another forum I use: "Merthyr played Chippenham away last Saturday and won 5-1 (they were 4 up after half an hour). This Saturday they meet in the FA Cup (again at Chippenham) and Skybet have Merthyr at 10/3. Crazy odds in my book."

Erm... well - as far as i can recall, the kick-offs for these have all been like early afternoonish, i think. For eg the last one was at 2pm. But there's CP40 saying he'd only be good for an AM kick-off so we really want a time that's best for everyone. It's open for discussion i suppose. You playing, Ash? Will depend on the time but I won't rule it out at the minute.

What sort of time are you looking at?

Back to the real stuff on Saturday. I reckon it will be a decent, hard-fought game but we should really be looking to win this. Anyone heading down?

I can't work out why everyone is questioning what game Guthrie will miss. We've already had a player sent off this season for two bookings, Smith against Cardiff. He missed the game against Blackpool three days later.

Well that lasted long...

Why are people assuming Butt will start on Saturday now that Guthrie's suspended?

Just had a sneaky bet on Leeds at 5/1.

Like the last cup game when we lost Shola and Jonas? f*** that! Well he should of stated that before the tickets went on sale that he was going to play a reserve team I know for a fact that the fans are not happy down there as my brother who is at the game has just text me Does he speak for every single person down there? If people are that naive to think we'd be playing a full-strength side tonight then that's their own fault.

It's the Carling Cup.

Scott Minto: "With all of the changes that Newcastle have made, it's clear to me that they're not really interested in the Carling Cup at all." Well no fucking shit, Sherlock.

Very pleased with that team, surprised that Butt isn't in there though.

Priorities!

Superb. Rest in peace, Sir Bob.

Cheers, wouldn't have known if you hadn't posted it.

Butt in for Smith, Carroll in for Ranger.

Supposed to be going to Smogsville. Bloody hell, how many strikers do they want?!

shouls be a rule of the thread. "no decleration of bets after kick off". sometimes i'm suspicious of peiople saying about their accys or waiting on one result when we only find out after. Yep. There are a couple of serial after-timers in this thread.

Now?? Being 6' 4 is the business, and always has been. My personal favourite is going to gigs and commenting on the footwear of the various members of the band to the vertically challenged people beside me. They're so busy straining for just a glimpse of the guys on stage that they don't realise they're having the piss taken out of them. Not a chance in hell Nile is 6'4 btw. 6 foot maybe. You're wrong Shak, being tall is rubbish for just about everything besides basketball. You only sit on an aeroplane or hit your head on a low ceiling to realise this. (nearly killed myself by walking into the top of a door last week.) He's easily 6ft 4ins.

Kamara would be an excellent signing.

I agree, he'll make our bench a lot stronger.

Anyone noticed that the 5/1 for us to win tomorrow with Paddy Power is no longer available?

That's a cracking offer in fairness. Also offering 6/1 on Ranger to score at anytime. It is a cracking offer. I can't find that price for Ranger to score anytime though, I can only find 3/1.
