  1. The 6 points lost to Charlton and Durham at home cost us massively. If we'd won those like we should have it would have been up there
  2. I remember what Openc said and it's totally true. Last year wasn't the same even though there was always 3-4 from the previous year playing each week. I do believe that if Pottsy and Elysia Boddy had been fit this season we would have really been knocking at the door. I think that's why I'm so surprised that Amber has gone as she really drove the team on the pitch and worked tirelessly for the club off it. Really strange.
  3. Really surprised about Amber. Wonder if it was mutual or not. Hannah Greenwood made the decision not to renew according to her Instagram so I'll be surprised if Amber hasn't done the same. She was one of the few that gave 7/8 outof10 every week and was my player of the season. I agree with 54 about Katie Barker and can't understand why she wasn't given the same type of send off that Grace received especially by generally being the face of the club over the last 3 years. With the turnover of players I am over the moon that PSR has prevented us doing the same with the men's team. I found this last season more difficult than the previous two as changing 6 or 7 first teamers took away alot of the enjoyment. Makes you really appreciate the coaching that Eddie has done to improve the original guys and have them playing well beyond their previous level. I'm going to blame Paul Mitchell for this as I never liked him.
  4. The 3 rounds were all the same format so in fact it is like 3 separate 20 question quizzes in one night. With plenty of time we should all get 15-20 correct but the 10 second time limit causes chaos. There are several question types Name the player off a photo. The questions are read out and also the photo comes on your phone. You then have to select the first letter of the player's christian name. One question I can remember was a photo of Trevor Chalabah. I knew it was Chalabah straight away but by the time I realised he was a Trevor and found the T icon on my phone the time was up Name the club off the crest. Again first letter of the club Guess the year Name a goal scorer Total number of goals in a game As I said before an entertaining night but you're up against students who are much quicker than me with far better memories. I'll definitely go again with my wife and enjoy taking part but can't see me ever having my name up in lights! Matthew Raisbeck was a quality quizmaster and he didn't belittle or embarrass anyone.
  5. I went over last night. I enjoyed it but failed dismally. It works through an app and you only have 10 seconds to answer with points on correct answer and speed. £5 entry per team and 26 teams last night. 3 20 question rounds and £330 split between the 3 rounds. Had a great night but I've got an old head and I'm not fast enough against the other teams. Finished 14th, 18th and 16th but had a great night.
  6. Has anyone been to Matthew Raisbeck's Football Quiz at Stack? Just wondered if it it worth a night out
  7. Nickson and Eddie all the way. Neither Ferguson or Wenger had a D of F and I don't believe Eddie needs one either. PIF obviously have Howes back and I for one am delighted.
  8. It was more the case Amanda got the blame for last summers sales.
  9. I'm really reserving judgement on Mitchell. I've been Team Eddie from the start and believe Mitchell was happy to upset the applecart when he came in by slagging off the systems and people and, with no inside knowledge, I presumed it was because he wanted his mate Poch in. There is nothing to base this on other than gut feel. Eales has had an easy ride as the PSR over spend was on his watch and he manoeuvred the blame on Amanda and Mehrdad and remained unscathed. Eddie performed wonders and neither Eales or Mitchell have achieved anything for Newcastle yet. The next 10 weeks will be very interesting as to whether they are as elite in their roles as Eddie is in his. I hope they are.
  10. Arsenal play Liverpool next. They could be 4th after we beat them
  11. Finishing the weekend off with a trip to Kingston Park. What a fortnight its been.
  12. Registered our interest. I'm taking part in everything I can and enjoying every single part of it, even booked a days holiday. Should be no negativity. Every thing Sela done has been professional and entertaining. Really looking forward to it.
  13. Hope there's phone signal on Wembley Way
  14. Tickets delivered this morning. Despite the adversity we are going to do this!
  15. It's going to be an interesting end to the season. After having next weekend off we have 7 games in 8 weeks. If we can get momentum we can achieve 3rd and who knows whether or not Birmingham or the Lionesses will struggle in the run in. With the financial backing and the manager they have, I think the lionesses may well do it but their final fixture is against Birmingham. If we beat both of them at home it could be a really interesting finish to the season. We put together a winning run and who knows. Why I'm still optimistic after St James yesterday I have no idea!!!!! Up to now I think the lasses, even though new to the league, have under achieved. The last 5 minutes against both Durham and Charlton have probably cost us promotion. To be still in it with 2 months to go is tremendous for our first season and we still haven't hit the levels I expected. If they can only click for the last 2 months, then we could all be on 41 points going into the final game with them playing each other.
  16. And bringing Zorb racing back at half time
  17. Incredibly Sky changing the Mens Man Utd match to the Sunday means it now clashes with the lasses. Third time this season.
  18. There needs to be a radical shake up in my opinion. Having 22 games a season means there are 3-4 week gaps between matches and it just doesn't work. There are 12 teams in the wsl and 11 in the championship and after that there is north and south. Although a lot of teams would need additional funding the only way to grow the women's game would be to have at least two 18 team national leagues and have it supported by either the TV companies, the FA or the premier league. Preventing fixture clashes of both the men and women, like this weekend, doesn't help either. Until there is a 36 game league and has proper TV marketing it will struggle. I love watching the lasses but 10 games on my season ticket and missing 2 for men's clashes is ridiculous over a 9 month season.
  19. Take Amber out the team and we would really struggle. Not really happy with the progress any signing has made since promotion
  20. Anyone else had an email yesterday confirming winning a £100 voucher for Stack and then receiving another one today saying sorry you haven't, we have a glitch. I suppose if they honoured the emails we wouldn't be able to sign anyone this month.
  21. Anyone heard anything on the twitter rumours that he's signed for Everton for £15M
  22. Hope Amber Keegan Stobbs hasn't decided to move on. She's asked for info on house removal / storage companies with Ed Sheeran "Take me back to London" playing. Will be a massive miss if she is.
