Well, Bentley looked pretty good. Certainly made us look vaguely like scoring. I think based on that both him a Kuqi will start the nest match.

Surely the same applies to anyone working in an office (like me), if you have no respect for your manager.....

Of course, that's why we signed him

Sorry to stray off topic but it's been a while since I've laughed out load reading this board. I just wish it hadn't been during this topic. Andy, that's brilliant. Easily the most ignorant, ill-informed and downright wrong statement I think I've ever read, anywhere. I see they fed you the "Story of WW2 - According to Herman Goering" at school.

LOL, I bet he got his just desserts

Nice quote from Sky for all you Lucas haters; "Neill, brilliant throughout, nearly got a goal to cap his display, showing great talent to dance around a couple of half-hearted challenges before smashing the ball of the face of the bar with his weaker right foot".

Is that correct? Oh dear!

We didn't have enough evidence to arrest him at the time, simple as that.

Please tell me this is a comedy post. I hope so because I haven't laughed as much in ages.

To be fair though the last appeal for LBW was absolutely plumb.

We didn't put the boot in. You've been reading the Mirror too much. Blimey even Rovers fans are jumping on the bangwagon

Could we interest you in some Pie and Mash....jellied eels maybe

Nice one but could you tone down the words "Mission Statement" and "Constitution", it makes it sound like some radical political group

20 years for me and I'm 28, so that's not bad really

The Prem is no place for teams like Preston. Well done the Irons. Plus as an honorary southerner I've another London away match to go to.

Well I'm glad they won, it's good for the status of the English league. The only problem is that just with 1999 and being 1 -0 down with two minutes left, we'll have to put up with the match being mentioned everytime any team is 3 - 0 down and being outplayed.

Where've the other 15,000 been this season then? They'll disappear again soon enough.

Ooh, that won't be popular with the 'Word Association' thread brigade.

You can't get someone's address from an IP address, only the ISP the IP belongs to

So far these are tje players. Other then "Larry" how good is this team: PARKES: Flowers, Grayson, Hendry, May, Hird (sub Donnelly 46 mins), Ripley (sub P Dalglish 46 mins), Cowans, Atkins (sub Miller 69 mins), Gallacher (sub Patterson 69 mins), Newell (sub Speedie 46 mins), Shearer.

I'm pretty sure that it's just a member number based on when you joined. For example, you were the 307th member of the board, so you have number 307. 316821[/snapback] I think he means that there are people who joined later than others with earlier member numbers.

it is rather boring Just you wait till mid-July you'll be foaming at the mouth for drama like this

He's an incredibly rich chap with incredibly large liabilities. I wouldn't say that he has the same business strategy of Abramovich. I should imagine he'll be looking to maximise profits, and then sell the club on a few years down the line for more than he paid for it. Well said Bryan, that's most likely what he'll do. However will he be able to maximise profits without results on the pitch, which will mean a fair bit of spending?

Not yet, he's disappeared Clicky

What was all that about? I guess it was nerves but we hardly had a shot on goal. How bad is Richard Witschge? I can't see he'll get picked again, send him back! There's really much to say about the match, I think we should just forget about it and carry on. Blimey, after getting abuse from the "happy hammers" for most of the match, afterwards in the pub (I love being 18 now) they were all patting us on the back saying "I hope you beat the Mancs". "Well you might be able to help us out with that one guys, you've got them last match" we replied. "Don't worry we've got them at Upton we won't lose" they said. I didn't feel any better. It was a long journey back on the official coach but heard on Radio 1's top 40 that Oasis' Some Might Say was straight in at number 1. Maybe it's not so bad I after all. Come on you Blues.
