  1. According to Wiki he only played 4 games on loan, hardly a flogging!
  2. Andrius Velicka? Markus Henriksen was pretty bad!
  3. Did they play their home games up Penpole Lane?
  4. A lot of the ladies are too good for the Championship, but most are not quite good enough for the WSL. Take Abi Harrison for example. Tore the Championship a new one last season, yet this season (albeit with a number of injuries) just hasn't performed to the same standard. Probably due to being constantly played as a midfielder as Smith insisted on carrying on with the 1 up top approach. As long as the core of this team is kept together, three or four quality additions should mean that they are at least competitive next season. There will also be the chance for the younger ladies (Mari Ward, Fearne Slocombe) to get some serious game time, and the experience that comes with it. There's also no reason why the club can't look for the best talents in the Championship (a bit like Cotts did in League 1), there are some definite diamonds to be picked up. Jamie-Lee Napier came from London City, and was a good fit for the team in the WSL. Lastly, no more over-the-hill journey women! Take Lisa Evans. Yes, she has a lot of experience (100ish games for Bayern and Arsenal) but she has done next to nothing since being signed in January, there was obviously a reason why West Ham let her join their closest relegation rivals! If older players must be signed, more in the mould of Rachel Furness please!
  5. As someone who is also from the area, grew up watching Manor Farm and can remember going on to the pitch at half time for a kick about in the goals - can't imagine that happening now! I now live even closer to The Creek (about 200 metres) yet never hear anything locally about upcoming games, apart from the odd post on Facebook. Get more noise at the moment about Avonmouth, who have just had a second successive promotion.
  6. I'm watching from home today, my daughters not feeling too great and chose to play this morning instead. Unfortunately for me, the Sky mics are picking up that bloody group of drummers, and even at home, I'm actually losing the will to live!
  7. Stupid FlashScores, said it was Sam Bell! And it looks like it was Raph Aroye that scored the OG! Mods, delete the topic please!
  8. Good 3-1 win for the U21s today, interesting to see that Sam Bell had a run out (although he did score an OG). Is he likely to see any first team minutes in the last couple of games this season?
  9. If you mean the drummers, I had the misfortune to sit in front of them at the recent game against Spurs. They bring absolutely nothing to the match day experience.
  10. That's because, just like with the mens team, they were let down massively in both summer and January transfer windows. Had a couple of decent acquisitions been made, they could have had the extra couple of wins, and a couple of draws that would see them not rooted to the foot of the table. Couple that with Lauren Smith's insistence on playing players out of position, refusal to move from playing 1 up front (apart from giving Shania Hayles, the best finisher at the club, the last 5 minutes of the occasional game) and like for like, rather than tactical, substitutions (where have I seen that before?!). A massive opportunity missed.
  11. Average is just under 7.4k, 5th behind Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and Man C.
  12. It also had red and white half and half shorts, so ended up looking like red and white quarters. It was 1992, and my 12 year old self wrote in to Four Four Two to complain about it, and rhe fact it made the kit look like a red version of the gas kit, letter was published and I was told to calm down and have a cup of tea by the editor!
  13. Wiggy is playing with his latest band, Karen, at Louisiana on 24th April.

    Nibor was Les Kew, wasn't it something to do with his daughter?
  15. Probably wouldn't turn up for the final though.
  16. Being left footed on the right wing hasn't done Bukayo Saka any harm! He's another that I could watch all day, every day.
  17. And now pretty firmly back out of it, and the WSL
  18. And back on again - its like my kids playing with the light switch!
  19. But it creates a winning atmosphere
  20. I was at this game, had a trip to Halfords at Cribbs in the morning to pick up my new air horn, turned up to the game with my binbag full of ripped paper for the ticker-tape. Sat behind the goal in the East End and have a vague memory of Tins scoring a beauty direct from a free-kick in the first half, only for it to be disallowed. Can anyone confirm this?
  21. Brooke Aspin has always had the holes cut in her socks, although I've never seen any player, male or female, that takes it to the extremes that she does!
  22. Used to make a rather nice sausage and bacon roll, always had to have one when stopping in to Selco (while the office rang our office to sort out our credit limit normally!). Was his name Martin or am I getting confused?
  23. The crayons might make a bit of a mess of the screen, probably better using the back of a roll of leftover wallpaper.
