Avoid going to the station and buying on the day if you can. I'm sure peanuts will confirm, but I am pretty sure that only standard fares are available on the day from the station, rather than being able to get an online deal. Try looking for two single fares - it could work out cheaper. Derek.

They are footballers not doctors. Derek.

You can cut that out right now matey

Are you telling me it is worse than it was last time I went Chris?

I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Though since I have only been a couple of times in the last few months, my opinion probably doesn't count. Derek.

I'm avoiding you Sav

Not much thinking time, but: Wellens Pogs Hill That'll have to do - none of this lot at the minute though. Derek.

Intentional?

Indeedy squire. That will teach me to work and read message boards at the same time. Derek.

Can't see it at work Diego.

How can we be favourites without even having spoken to him is what I want to know? Unless some geezer at Hartlepool has said 'go to Oldham Dean' that smacks of sloppy journalism. Derek.

Knowledge is power my friend. Not that I am right of course, just something that seems to have stuck in my head. Derek.

Thinking way back to school days, I seem to remember that it takes the same amount of heat energy to thaw ice as it does to boil the equivalent weight of water to 70°C or something. Also don't ice crystals start forming in the water at about 3°C? I would think we need some rain to help thaw the pitch rather than slightly warmer weather. Can anyone confirm or has dementia finally set in? Derek.

15 goals, 31 games. Better than the Baggie messiah last season I think. Derek.

I'm probably in a minority of one here, but I rated Killen. OK, he had his injury problems but he was criminally under used by Ronnie in his last season here (Chasetown away instantly springs to mind). Corney then turned just about every fan against him with his ill timed 'shoe in gob' rant as he was leaving. Good luck to him if he makes it. Derek.

T'was 2003, but yep that's the one. Derek.

Look closer to home Paddy.

Too pissed in PL1 mate? Derek.

He ain't good enough to play for Arsenal. Derek.

The cheapest way that I have seem is to buy two singles. www.thetrainline.co.uk has tickets outward on Friday at 11.20 for £8.00 from Manchester, and returning on Sunday @ 11.50 at £14.00. Hope it helps. Derek.

For me he can go in the 'Welcome Back' queue in front of Judas and behind Ronniesaurus. Derek.

After my self imposed sabbatical, I went along to the Galpharm yesterday and was surprised. It wasn't pleasantly though. Surprised at how on earth we are currently in fifth place in the league. Surprised at how easily our fullbacks were given an absolute roasting - Lomax was especially guilty of having absolutely no idea of what was going on around him, Eardley a little better, but come on, who wouldn't carry him to Bristol on their back if it is true that the Ciderheads are interested in an amount approaching seven figures? Gregan and Rubes defended the balls that were hit straight at them stoutly, but once the Hudds forwards had them on the back foot, Gregan especially, was made to look slow and cumbersome. I was surprised that on two occassions he didn't give away a penalty for wrestling his man to the floor, Mr Singh certainly had his turban pulled over his eyes whilst watching Sean doing his best impression of Big Daddy. My biggest surprise of all considering the pedigree of the boss man was how utterly inept our midfield were. Take away the Rats' wonder strike and at times I think as a unit they may well have not been on the pitch. It has to take some wit genius for the whole foursome to find themselves in positions to be too far away from the front two to back them up but still manage to be too far away from the back four to offer anything amounting to some decent covering play. The amount of times the front four of Hudds were allowed to play football on the edge of our box at will was unbelievable. They were certainly guilty of trying to walk the ball into the net and on another day would have taken us to the cleaners. Rat and Maher are far too similar to be in the same side for me, Whits is another McDonald - half a promising season and the rest he does Casper impressions. How on earth did someone earlier in the season have the brainfart to post that he is better than Wellens??????? Taylor - surprisingly I will give him the benefit of the doubt as he has been excellent in most of the games I have seen from him this season, but I certainly saw lots of things that in the past have driven me to distraction about him. The front two were on a hiding to nothing really with little support. I thought Byfield put the effort in with little reward - but he is no better than many a journeyman footballer that we have seen on loan in the past. Hughes looked like he didn't give a :censored:. The changes weren't good either, though I do think that Davis brought a breath of fresh air to a team that seem to have ground to a shuddering halt ideas wise. At least he ran the channels and looked interested. Despite being a fan of Lids, surely the right substitution with 20 minutes to go is to put Smalley on the right to replace the woefully ineffective Whittaker? Even if he just knocks the ball and chases after it we are beginning to turn the oppostion around a little. All in all, despite a good point, it was a throughly disappointing performance and I didn't really see too much to make me change my mind that I can be doing better things with my time on a Saturday afternoon than watching supposed professionals go through the motions until their next payday. Derek.

Bye Bye

Though infinitely more satisfying.

Who says I am not still pissed all the time my friend?
