I hate to take anything negative away from tonight but I have to agree about Iwelumo. I wasn't at the MK Dons game so didn't see him score, but I thought he was a waste of space in the two Everton games and against Portsmouth. Lack of effort is dead right in my opinion. He doesn't look interested, and the quickest I've seen him move so far is when he was subbed in the first Everton game. He looked like he couldn't wait to get of the pitch. I just can't see what he's going to bring to this team, and fourteen other clubs previously look to have come to the same conclusion.

Can't seem to find the date for the replay. Would have thought it'll be Tuesday 26th February but the website's just put up ticket news for PNE on that date?

Would love this with blue sleeves. And maybe a slightly darker shade of blue.

Why is Taylor facing back towards the halfway line when Kuqi steps up for the penalty? Why not face goal and be ready for a rebound?

The lad's an absolute embarrasment. He acts like a tough guy when he's having a go at the ref or a linesman, but all you have to do is watch him when he goes up for a header to see what a coward he is. He needs to be dropped. He can't pass, he can't cross and he can't take on a man. Black back at left back, Lee back at right back, Adeyemi on the right.

The reason I was interested is that it was the first match I ever went to.

Thanks!

Anyone able to confirm the attendance?

Anyone notice the shirt Gregan's wearing is a different design (look at the collar, for instance) to the one he's holding above his head?

I still maintain the best plan for travelling fans is to get the train to Manchester Piccadilly, then get the 24, 181 or 182 bus from Piccadilly Bus Station to Boundary Park.

Letters are 75p each, numbers are £3.50 per digit and the Coca Cola badges are £2.50 each.

Got to admit, I'd have given it. Stupid thing to do in the penalty area, as far as I'm concerned.

Two thinks that wind me up, and I know they really shouldn't... 1. When a shot goes high or wide and the opposition fans jeer, the commentator always talks about "ironic cheers". They are not ironic cheers, they are sarcastic cheers. 2. Also on the subject of commentators, anyone ever noticed how many call Wayne Rooney "Rayne Wooney"?

We ran out of pies, too

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Got to be the most moronic chant in football.

Once served Jon Hallworth when I worked at Comet. I also found him to be a bit rude and miserable.

I remember at Boothferry Park, Hull's club shop was in Kwik Save!

We've had them in the past and they failed, didn't they? Had a concession in Littlewoods in the early 90s, and a Latique shop where The Works is/was now.

Dammit. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread first!

Pot, kettle, black, anyone?!

Yes it is, I was in there this morning. Waterstone's in the Spindles have it, too. Anyone tell the difference between this and Latics Lads, by the same author?

Ha ha, that was my first thought, too!

Agreed. Should have been an option to vote for The A team theme.

Seem to remember us giving you and dad a bit of stick at the Ernie game for being closet reds. Think you're fueling the fire, here, Phill!
