  1. Or split the car park into home and away areas isn't too difficult. Thankfully the majority of Udders fans stopped to celebrate long enough for me to make a quick getaway and beat them to the M62 or I could have been quite a while on Saturday.
  2. I can't think that Fallon would want to join us in a month of Sundays.
  3. So if someone came and sat in the seat next to you and randomly sang "Alphabet soup turns your hair cabbage" you'd be alright? All game? In your earhole? 105 minutes? The short version of this is that the lad was being an attention seeking idiot and it probably was really annoying to those nearer to him than I.
  4. So long as you applaud in a non-related to football tune and for an indefinate time of more than ten minutes then you'd fit in well with this one. Can't say it annoyed me, but I can understand it may have wound up the more highly strung character.
  5. To be fair, he might not be a million miles away on that point. If Chelsea charge their usual prices and get a full house (alright that might not be too likely) then 42,449*£48*0.45=£916,898.40. Not a million, but not far short.
  6. But that is the problem, when Plan A of passing it isn't working we need at least some form of a Plan B, which would be a battering ram type of striker, whom Davies or Hughes could feed off.
  7. I'd only be actively looking to get rid of Thompson and Liddell (who is out of contract so won't require too much acting). Everyone else can stay and it is a matter of playing together and adding a few more players, i.e a left winger, a left back, a big centre forward a goalkeeper who can command beyond his line. Other than that we are fine and require little more IMO.
  8. No Police presence? What about the woman on the white horse? An absolute marvel to watch. PW: Stop there you. Random bad lad: Okay. (Hold on this is a crowd and you are on a horse, I'll leg it) Random bad lad legs it. PW: (Semi gallopping through a crowd) Stop, stop, freeze. Bad lad runs away, Police woman gallops to colleagues who are p*ss*ng themselves.
  9. Jumping into my mind are Scott McGarvey who was a lazy goalhanging bag of garbage before going of to Japan. He then came back to recommend Dabo to us. Great. Lee Sinnott. Couldn't give a toss and left to enter the non-league where his talents said he should have been before joining us.
  10. We need something to break teams down when they put eleven men behind the ball at our place. So far we haven't got it. So the options appear to be either a gifted midfielder to use skill to pierce through a congested defence, which didn't work whilst Kilkenny was here and being honest probably won't work with anyone we can afford; or a battering ram which is cheap and could be efficient. We have a Luke Beckett type.
  11. TWENTY ONE POUNDS!!!!! You could have bought a load of paper and printed off the NFL website for that.
  12. Not exactly concrete evidence, but the Oscar nominators seem to agree with one of us about the performance of Javier Bardem... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7202652.stm
  13. Yes, but on this occasion I reckon he isn't far wrong. The atmosphere may not be great and it is not conducive to results, however not being able to break the opposition down is much more an influence. Teams come here and stick players behind the ball and our inability to break them down is the problem. Be it lacking attacking flair or a battering ram, it isn't down to the crowd. On this occasion it whiffs of blame-shifting.
  14. Well I've heard two kind of reviews of this. One, exceptional, ten out of ten, movie of the year, etc. The other, the same but in a completely negative sense. It seems that people either love it or hate it. So, I'll go completely against that and be in between a bit. Firstly, the storyline is as basic as things get (man wants money, so does another man). I guess this is where the negative aspect comes from. Pulp Fiction it ain't. Next up, Tommy Lee Jones. I'm still not sure whether this annoys or charms the viewer. His part adds what is the normal persons view. A view of sanity amongst all that is happening around him. A man pretty much tired with all the violence around him. Although he presses all the right buttons it is hard to fit it in with the rest of the film. Stealing the show by a mile though is Javier Bardem, playing a baddy every bit as good as Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet (I can't think why that part sprung to mind...). He is excellent. I'd certainly go and watch it as you are bound to jump into one category or another, and being honest, it's worth it just to watch Bardem's performance. The ending is ODD. I'd give it an 8 overall. Or maybe 7 and a half...
  15. Patriots 5/1 on favourites. Given a spread of 13 points if that floats anyones boat. I reckon the pat's will clincially put it to bed. I'm not confident of scorelines but I doubt the Giants will really be in it. I hope the Giants win 5000 - 0 and Foxborough burns down and Belicheat's sideline cameras break.
  16. Alright, Tennesee might not be better than all the NFC candidates. I have to admit, when Coughlin ripped Tynes to shreds after the first missed kick I was thinking that you just don't do that to kickers - and the second miss was no surprise oncve all his confiedence had been ruined. What went in Tynes' favour with the winning kick is it was so far out no one expected him to do it, so it took the pressure off. It's a shame San Diego didn't make it, but they were far too beaten up to stick a chance.
  17. I'm utterly knackered. Bed at 3:30, alarm off at 6:50, sleep button pressed twenty times and finally up at 9:50. Good second game though. I suspect your Giants influence is shading your judgement of the brilliance of the game, but it was certainly exciting. As pointed out after the game though, the winning kick was by a Brit, not a Scot - the two earlier misses were by a Scot. It’s not the most surprising result that you find yourself there. I’m afraid it is a result of an utterly gash NFC. Nigh on every AFC team qualifying would have beaten nigh on every NFC team, but you can only beat what is put in front of you. Sadly, that won’t be the case come the Superbowl – which will be a one-sided affair I would think. Maybe if you cheat for the next eight years like New England have then you’ll stick a chance. As then you will be able to carry on as normal with your house built by deceit whilst the NFL let you off. Good luck, but I reckon it's going to be a massacre come a fortnight.
  18. Clocked one or two non-Latics games up this year myself. I've popped into Ipswich, Peterborough, Morecambe, Man City, Barnet, Lincoln, Rushden and Gainsborough so far. I also went to Dagenham but couldn't find the ground so went home instead.
  19. He tore us to shreds in the 4-2 defeat a couple of seasons ago, head and shoulders man of the match in that game. Pretty anonymous in the other games. Off what Scunny fans said at the time, that is what you get. A few good games and a lot more inaffective games.
  20. Everton (a) 1-0 Swansea (a) 1-0 (L) Leeds (a) 3-1 Gillingham (a) 3-0 (L) Swansea (h) 2-1 (in order, L denotes last season)
  21. Ah, Scunthorpe's club Car Park. I first had an inkling things may not be right when the bloke (Scunny fan) parked in the car next to me got in his car and started reading his paper. An hour or so later I was nearly asking him for the sports section. Latics' car park is brilliant in comparison. NB. For those who go again, you carry on past the ground and turn in left and park on the estate there, it cuts a good forty minutes off getting away.
