  1. Yes because he also chose Dean Holden. He did the same at Ipswich as he did here. Got rid of an experienced manager (who admittedly was struggling) and got in a bloke with almost no track record. The biggest difference was that the guy he brought in at Ipswich turned out to be very good.
  2. It's moments like that that legends are built on and stay with clubs and fans forever. Yeah it's cocky as but fair play it's also quality.
  3. As mentioned above, the real issue here is not the changes themselves but the fact it was a decision made purely by the FA and the Premier League. This is a serious problem and sets a precedent. Imagine if the Premier League decide that they want to suspend promotion and relegation for 5 years, purely to improve the sustainability of the lower leagues of course? There are arguments on both sides regarding the benefits of having replays but the fact the huge majority of clubs and their respective leagues who are affected by this decision were never even consulted on these changes places far too much power in the Premier League's hands.
  4. Medication, Medication Medication, that's what you need If you give a horse a punch Eat stale crisps for lunch Oh-oh Medication's what you need; If you wanna wear da famous quarters, Oooooh. Medication's what you need
  5. She's in a strop with England because she wants to play up front.
  6. I've had a quick look becuase I thought the same but as far as I can see the last time they were above us in the league was back in November. If they finish the season like they've played tonight, they could be in big trouble.
  7. Boom. Blackburn have committed suicide at the back. We've made them pay for it every time.
  8. Blackburn are only 3 points above the drop. It's going to be a long drive home for their fans tonight and a nervous April.
  9. Ahhh the memories of a Saturday afternoon. "Good afternoon grapple fans and welcome to the Wolverhampton Civic. First up is Cat weasel versus Kendo Nagasaki, two falls, two submissions or a knock out"
  10. So pleased to see us punish Blackburn when they've made some howlers. Other than that, we've looked relatively comfortable but Rovers have found some space at times so we need to stay on it.
  11. Is it just me or does Rankin-Costello sound less like a football player and more like a lost album from 1982 that you really need to hear?
  12. I see after warming the bench against Sweden and only getting a few minutes last night Rachel Daly has "retired from international football" this morning.
  13. We definitely should be going into the last 6 games now with a full bench and giving some of these lads minutes if at all possible. No excuses under the all one club development plan.
  14. All done. Really struggled to think of a men's champagne moment so left that one out but managed to answer everything else.
  15. I've been really busy over the last week or so, so apart from checking in on here and folowing the BBC scores I've not had much chance to see how we've played against Leicester and Argyle, from what I can see on here though, there seems to be a bit of a more positive feel to the way we won the last two games. We've had wins on the spin with Manning before but then we fell apart but hopefully we've now got a bit more fire in the team. While the maths say there are still enough points to make the play offs, only the most hardened Cider drinker would think there's any hope of that. Which makes the last 6 games of the season a bit odd. With nothing to really play for it will be hard to imagine what the motivation will be to push on with the exception of creating a positive feeling to build on across the summer. Hopefully we've put a few really difficult months behind us and can look to the future.
  16. Familiar with that area although not the RAF Base as I worked for a bit at RM Turnchapel on the landing craft which were just around the corner. That base closed in 2014.
  17. Actually, that area, known as the Royal William Yard, has a lot of restaurants and a few bars. It could probably be a decent place to get something to eat and drink which is a bit further away from the ground. Worth a look.
  18. Good to know my 22 years service in the Royal Navy wasn't a total waste then.
