  1. Hodgson was a legend!! One of the hardest players ever!! I remember him breaking his nose at Cardiff away once, having 10 minutes of attention off the pitch, then comes back on and takes the ball full in the face again after about 2 mins. Just shook it off and carried on..... Rubbish footballer, mind.....
  2. Penney out. Blame Maggie. Corney's a :censored:. Zzzzzzz...........
  3. Massive centre half. Thought he was awesome in his short time with us. RIP big fella.
  4. I would imagine the new main stand will become the most expensive ST. And rightly so. I'd be very surprised if it isn't the most occupied of all the stands when it's eventually unveiled. If the price is reasonable, I'll certainly be looking to get a ST in there, but I certainly won't mind paying a little more if the standards go up in line with the prices.
  5. I think the fact that the price is the same as 6 years ago is something the club should be applauded for. Can you think of ANY other leisure activity that hasn't increased it's prices for such a timescale?? I can't believe people are whinging at £13 a game. I really can't. I haven't had a ST for the last three years but now my girls are getting into it a little more, I'll probably take one for me and a couple for them as well.
  6. This for me. It was one of his first touches of the ball after he came on. On a day where all players were struggling to control the ball on the poor surface, JB brought it down beautifully and played Simmo in. The bit of quality we'd been lacking all game
  7. What bewildered me was that in the RRE, they had the kids penned in by blocking the exits at the end of each set of stairs, then lost the advantage by retreating to the pitch. Had they stayed where they were they could have concentrated on those choke points and not been so thinly spread. No point in retreating to the pitch if all you're going to do is let them run on anyway. Not blaming the stewards, it was those bell-end kids that caused it - but the tactics didn't help......
  8. I think it's largely down to how we set up going forward. It seems that our plan is to get it down the right and try (try being the operative word) to whip it in the box. Either that or lump it long to Simmo or Smithy dependant on who's on the pitch at the time. So may times I've seen Barney in acres of room on the edge of the box, just gagging for a ball in to his feet after having made room for himself, which would surely put him in, but we seem to be ignoring this/not aware, and always go for Crofty on the right instead. Like many have already said, give Barney the right service, and the goals will come......
  9. our lot should think themselves lucky!!..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22211549
  10. I'm exactly the same. Can't be arsed watching footy if it's not Latics, and even then, it's a struggle!!! A merger would just be the death of all 3 clubs. Any "phoenix" team would get little or no support and die in a matter of months...... WORST. IDEA. EVER........
  11. Dare I say it, but without his two goals over the last couple for games, we might well be staring league 2 in the face. He's been invaluable this season for me. Scored more goals than any of our other strikers. I'd love him to stay.
  12. Agreed. A superb showing tonight. Nowt fancy, but worked bloody hard - especially Crofty. Front to back put a proper shift in this evening - that's how to grind out a result. It's not often I've come home from BP with a smile on my face this season, but tonight I did. Wasn't even cold either........
  13. It was an absolute shambles of the highest order there today. There were hundreds of seats empty, but according to one bury steward "the capacity has to be reduced when there are so many standing". There must have been 20-30 standing in the corner just as you came in. There were literally HUNDREDS of empty seats elsewhere in that end. An absolute farce and a sham by the authorities at Bury. It even took them about 5 minutes to respond to the trouble which inevitably erupted when we scored. Completely unacceptable. So the Shakers are going down and going bust?? You reap what you sow.....
  14. With the exception of Baxter and Grounds, I'd be getting rid of the lot of them. They've proved over 40 odd games and three managers that the only place they're taking us is down.
  15. I was quite clearly heard on the TV at Goodison too!! #voiceof10men.....
  16. I was going to belt another out in the 2nd half, but we were so drab, I couldn't muster the enthusiasm........
  17. .....was the loudest zigga zigga ever recorded. I thank you......
  18. Just out of genuine interest, how many did turn up this morning?
  19. Ha ha! That's exactly what I thought before I opened mine!!
  20. I've got one too. Although it does say that "the number of speakers for each application is limited to two" so I'm assuming those two will be Simon Corney + 1.
  21. QUICK, RUN!!! CHANGE!!!! we fear change.......... Seriously though, good luck to you. If it drowns out all the miserable whining bastards, then I don't care what you sing or how you sing it.
  22. Gotta tighten up at the back though. Pools had about 3 or 4 clear cut chances. A better side would have punished us. However, we rode our luck and took our chances. A well deserved win. Jesus, it was cold though!!!
