It was a hoot

Me too, albeit in a treble with Drogheda and Caen. Need the little French beauties to come in now and I'm a whopping £15 up. High roller, me.

Bloody hell, I wasn't going that mad. Although twenty quid on a certain owl once left me 400 quid to the good.

The bookies only usually offer match bets where in their opinion the clubs are very well matched

Thanks, I thought given our current league positions they would be keen to take my money off me.

I hardly ever have a bet, however watching the Tramps on Sky I can't see them going up (despite them being 3-1 up). I fancy a punt on us staying up, them staying down and us overtaking them. Anyone know where would the best place be to go to get a bet on Latics finishing higher in the league than them at the end of next season? What kind of odds would the bookies offer?

May be worth a bet on Des Tiny for the next Stevenage manager, I don't know him but their fans have a banner saying he will take over.

The first two remind me of 20 years ago. We use to put great crosses in and the quality of strikers with their head to put them in the back of the net.

Great crosses from great crossers. Irwin, Adams, Holden...... not necessarily in that order

Loss of binocular vision will make it difficult to judge distances, he may be limited to short sideways passes, he'll be fine.

Agreed ridiculous to get a new strip for one game , especially after the drivel on the tv game with no swapping shirts.

 

Our plan should have been to show these southern jessies how tough we are ooop north & played in skins ........

You haven't thought that through Mr S, what about names and numbers? Had the club asked I could have got hold of a couple of sets of white netball bibs. We could have had fun allocating the letters to players.

You don't become good at anything without practice, you don't become very good without very high quality practice. Talent is a myth. Many footballers' sons become good players because, if they are interested, they are exposed to the opportunity to get that type of practice. It makes me laugh when Andy Murray is described as a talented tennis player, bollocks. There are thousands of lads who given the same upbringing would be just as successful, statistically probably more successful.

Very few of the asian lads will have the encouragement to go down the professional footballing route, they won't get the high quality practice required.

£39.99. It covers the cost of his number 8 shirt.

 

(I didn't ask that question!)

We need to spend that money wisely, get Jenny down to Costco for some catering strength cling film and get the roofs patched up.

There's very few Asian players because they simply aren't good enough.

There are plenty of kids who are good enough, the reasons why they don't develop as footballers is a whole other discussion.

Medical treatment always reverts back to host club.

 

So hope he stays fit, Donny get promoted, we bag an additional fee and .... Then I don't care after that.

Anyone any idea of the size of this fee?

I hate the term Asian when talking about Pakistan and Bangladesh. As Asian refers to the whole of Asia. I think we should have more Japanese support aswell. Anyway to the original point does it really matter if they don't want to come.

Absolutely, I used to live near the Japanese district, just outside Lees, there is a wealth of untapped support there. He is a nice lad as well.

The "journalist" uses statistics and hearsay to try to prove the point they set out to, rather than write a researched and balanced article. She doesn't define what she means by support a club, in the context of the article it has to mean attend matches, do the Premier League "supporting" Oldham Asians attend their matches? She hasn't bothered to research that , but I very much doubt it. So the article could be about why they don't attend football matches. She picks out 3 northern towns, where are the counter examples of similar towns elsewhere where it is different and why? Or could it have been written about why Asians in England don't attend.

As a maths teacher the use of the statistics appalls me, safe to say I deal with primary school children who wouldn't make those errors.

Would love wolves away!

First game of the season and a Marshall hat trick would be nice.

That made me laugh. "You bloody cocker!" Leicester colloquialism I haven't heard before.

Is that Greater FACT than Shrewsbury Twitter feed? Our 'Fishal Facebook account, Twitter, BBC, Sky, Talk:censored:e and Shrews 'Fishal?

Just emphasising the point made by others that our fishul (fishal?) lags behind somewhat. That was about my fourth or fifth post on that thread so I don't qualify for a

FACT

Porn movies, family size bag of wotsits then a panicky trip to casualty with a bright orange old chap…...

Phil Brown?

I might just w*nk myself into oblivion instead.

 

Mind you, last time I did that they threw me out of Alton Towers

Did you buy a picture on a keyring?

Dale and Stockport are both at home... if they survive the weather that is.

 

Scunny is probably the better game!

County is the nearest for me, but l made some porridge this morning so I could just stay in and watch that set. Tough call.

It'd be great if they could play it tomorrow, but when does the sensible thing ever happen in footie?

To be fair to the clubs, the police would have the final say.

Just to let you all know, the match is OFF. Just seen it on the fishul, so it is now FACT!

Fantastic, a full BP what an atmosphere, how the hell did we win at Villa.

Hands up. I had given up hope after Palace won and didn't go to Ashton Vanilla. Watched it on Sky at a mate's house. Another lad there was a Manure fan. Giving them the title took a bit of the edge off it, the media ignored our achievement to fawn to them.

Could be re-arranged for tuesday I'm hearing

I don't think they would arrange a league game for the same time as an England match.

Could we play Shrewsbury this Monday?

Clashes with my 5 a side at Power League

I screamed so much in those last 2 home games that I damaged my vocal chords. It took 3 months of speech therapy to get my voice back. I got married 2 weeks after the Southampton game, not many people heard my wedding speech even with a karaoke machine. Happy days.
