Sleepy1968

I case anyone cares (maybe they don't) - the field next to the Bears Training Ground is currently being dug up (ongoing for a couple of months) - maybe there is some kind of expansion going on.

I understand Chris Honor booked Dan an appointment for Specsavers at half time.

I don't think we played well v Stoke. We put effort in but we weren't great. But I'll take the win. I thought we were better v Blackburn even with them dominating second half possession. And I thought both performances were much better than what we produced v The Blades though.

I understand that Tony Dinning played (if that's the right word) in carpet slippers.

at least this only spoils part of the weekend.

I'm pretty sure if the current squad play with his heart and determination for the rest of the season we'll be fine.

The only Tommy Docherty chant I know starts "Doc, Doc, Docherty, who the ... ". Late 70s vintage.

how are the remaining four stands fairing?

luxury player = doesn't pull weight = can't be trusted = joe williams would give a shoeing to if he was fit

That doesn't sound particulary legal.

When you've got to go, you've got to go.

As long as we're leading by enough goals for chants not to backfire on us, I think a couple of rounds of 'Deano's chinos' would be awesome. Perhaps s82 can do the 'Deano's' and the Dolman/Rest of South Stand can do 'Chino's'. It would be doubly amazing if he happened to be wearing them.

Ha ha yeah, we're on the same page. I can't help it winding me up. I'm sat there thinking 'email using email, email using email.'

Surely it was down to not being able to hear the teams announced over the tannoy?

I'd think any contract of employment would be written on the basis that anything you are involved in or learn about viz your employment would be internal/secret, or confidential, unless otherwise agreed. Being free from the contract of employment wouldn't give you any rights to disclose anything you learned whilst under it. Probably settlement agreements serve to enforce this by the way of simple immediate financial penalty - not that this would necessarily be the end of matters. So all but the terminally stupid probably know its in their interests to keep their mouths shut at least until the memoirs are written and no one give much of a damn about things.

Yep. Go there and score some goals and give NP a problem.

He's not going to say much about it though is he. I'd be amazed if we got much more than "It was a difficult period. I'd like to have been given more time. Wish them well for the rest of the season, after Wednesday night obviously." (A "Ha, ha. Tweet your questions for Dean on twitter.." from Geoff Twentyman, who still hasn't realised the redundancy of the latter part of his tweeting instructions...)

I'm higher up in the Dolman so the reverse pitchside ads dont bother me too much, however the exit lights are horrendously bright and make the Lansdown stand look like a christmas tree. They could be half as bright. Do they not realise that peoples eyes adjust to the lower light conditions (OR THEY I F THEY WERE ALLOWED TO.) See how shouting hurts. Same thing with them super trouper lights.

she had a lucky escape then

So did I! As long as he's still posting here and making the occassional appearance on OSIB then I'm happy.

I think city have a year option on his contract don't they, not sure when that would need to be taken up by, but as it's never going happen, I was thinking the same thing. From what I've heard from him recently, he seems to have grown up a bit and got the message. We'll see how he performs on Wednesday if picked.

If this COD keeps turning up he'll have a seat on the bus.

Wow, that's well remembered. I haven't heard Paul Stevens name mentioned for so many years.

The Fulham 0-0 games sticks in my mind as does a 4-2 (? win v Wimdledon in the 4th when I believe we took out their goalie, and another game in the 4th v York - I think Alan Hay was playing for them - it was a night game I think we got 10,000 (well, it was a big gate considering our plight) and a 1-0 win.

I've always thought his little laugh is a tell. You know "I've just ran through the real answer in my head, and I can't even begin to give that version to you. Here's the diplomatic version ..."
