  1. My eternal optimism has been put away in the cupboard. No silly win prediction today
  2. I think Royle got one point out of 9 games once, possibly 84/85 or 86/87I'll have a look in the book Crikey it was worse than I thought. One draw and 9 defeats in 10 consecutive league games 85/86. And I don't remember anyone calling for Royles head. Interestingly the forwards he had were Futcher Palmer Quinn and Fairclough. Defence was Goram, Donachie, McDonagh, Hoolickin and Ryan. Scored 9 and conceded 26. What may have helped was having won 8 and drawn 3 of the first 14 games of the season. They bought Paul Jones and Andy Linighan in late December/January and lost 4 of the remaining 17.
  3. Its his middle name.he's a bleeding accident waiting to happen but he should have played on Monday.
  4. was listening to radio leeds pre match and they were saying Ward has been responsible for several goals recently. They were surprised he hadn't been dropped. Is the other keeper Murphy who has been injured but now on the way back?
  5. Very fine player. I met him in McDonalds on Market Street in Manchester a couple of days after he'd been sold to Derby. I told him how sorry i was he was leaving and he said he felt the same. He said that he didn't want to go but Derby had made a bid and the club accepted so he had to go.
  6. Is Kelly injured? Orient sacked their manager today.
  7. County got second winding up order of the season today
  8. If we can get the better of that Tavares I think we could score, It only takes a minute....
  9. All over them and their keeper has done a worldly according to the ever reliable radio Manchester (including stitch) So one nil to them then.
  10. It must be my fault for not thinking deeply enough about this but we are in a competition and we have progressed to the next round. Is that a problem?
  11. Steve Eyre on RM. Saw the game last week. Thinks it's right McLaughlin has replaced Winchester. Thought Mc penetrated when he came on attacked his man and put balls in the box one of which Oldham should have scored from. Thought winch worked hard but drifted in field too often and didn't keep his position which left his team out of shape and short on that side too often.
