The G is for the gnarled face of someone who’s on £90,000 a week and reckoned he should have had a throw in. HMHB They play Manc Academy last Friday in Jan. It will be fun.

No width at all, Taylor was missing again and Whitaker came central far too often. Niether player contributed enough defensively, which led to Eardley and Lomax being permanently on the back foot. Neal dealt with the situation well, Kelvin did not. Byfield held the ball up well, and whilst he did not win every ball lumped up towards him he constantly put defenders under pressue by closing them down quickly. Poor overall support from midfield left the front two isolated with limited options. Hughes seemed elsewhere today, distinct contrast to Davies who looked fully pumped up and eager to impress when he came on. Byfield was unlucky to be subbed. Great strike by Allott. Fleming played his part again, and were it not for he, Gregan and Hazell we would have left Yorkshire with nothing. Did anyone hear about a terrorist threat? Seemed a hell of a lot of Police about. Double time lads?

Martin Lewis has saved me a few bob over the years, have a look at his tips... Cheap train tickets

:headbang: :headbang: Rockabye Baby!

This would not suprise me in the slightest.

The club, through Barry Owen on these forums, have stated that they want to keep hold of Hughes. Through a third party "a-bloke-I-know-who-seems-to-know-one-or-two-of-the-powers-that-be-and-has-been-known-to-be-right-occasionally" has sad he will not be offered a new deal. Rightly or wrongly, I have a tendancy to believe the former over the later. The fact you cannot remember where you heard an alleged Hughes quote speaks volumes. If he wanted to and intended to stay here, this speculation could be nipped in the bud with a 5 minute press conference.

The big question here is, are TTA prepared to gamble? Take 3 / 400K now and, IMO, wave goodbye to the distinct possibility of Championship football next year. Or keep hold of Hughes for the rest of the season, risking that transfer fee on the hope Hughes contributions would be the difference between going up or staying down. It has been made public that the club would like to keep him, what we do not know is wether Hughes himself wants to stay. If he wants to go, there is no option but to sell.

Only me that fails to find any humour here? Disgraceful antics by the sound of things.

From memory I'm pretty sure they played... Imperium Beautiful Mourning Aesthetics of Hate Old Hallowed be thy Name Halo Davidian ...these are probably in the wrong order. There were also three guys dressed up as Santa in the seated section. Rob heckled the security to let them through so he could see them in the pit. All three ended up onstage having a drink before performing the worst stage dives I've ever seen!

Machine Head were on fine form supporting Slipknot on Tuesday, really looking forward to this now! This will be my first time seeing Metallica indoors, all the other times it's been at a festival.

I stopped trying to keep up with the classification of bands years back, when Emo was short "emotional hardcore", so some of these might not count... I really loved Satyricons' Now Diabolical album, but haven't heard the new one yet, Age of Nero. Is it any good? Also like Black Dahlia Murder, Job for a Cowboy, Pig Destroyer and you can't beat a bit of Napalm Death. Don't like the stuff that uses lots of keyboards etc (unless it's full on Ministry / KMFDM / Front 242 etc). Saw Children of Bodom live for the first time this week (supporting Slipknot / Machine Head - and Jesus did I feel old at that gig!) and they were far better live than recorded. Can you recommend anything a bit more recent I should check out?

No sense of urgency

I have just read this thread from start to finish. I will never get that 2 minutes back. Never.

"Wanna buy some pegs Dave?"

What is the deal with the new kit manufacturer? Alternate seasons for new home / away kits? Can we have a constant theme for away kits (tangerine?), and will there be voting on each variation as before?

What is the point of loaning players on short term deals (that usually are not match fit when they arrive), when we assembled a large decent looking squad in the summer? What is the clubs views on the "homegrown" rule currently being debated, and how important is youth development to the future of the club?

There is a difference between "noise" and "atmosphere", although the two are not mutially exclusive. Russ Abbott would have hated a party if it was just noisy.

true dat.

This may help on the constructive front... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...15214025AAA5XOg The drum can add to an already good atmosphere, the Sheridans blue and white army / we are top of the league chants from earlier this season for example. However I do not think it will ever create an atmosphere. Last night was an off night for the lad, and I was in complete agreement with the bloke three rows behind me when he roared "Shut the :censored: up with that!".

I am exhausted after the match, terribly disappointed too I might add. I wish that I could carry out my preparation schedule like my good friend and colleague, Chris Taylor 2/10 - Kelvin, see me after class.

Dowie? Never. Getting John Harbin back into the set up? Absolutely.
