Northern Red

Ah shit

The communication around the Cardiff kick off time was certainly a triumph....

There's the relative strength of leagues to consider too. I do think with players coming in from abroad there's always going to be uncertainty over how they'll do, whether they settle and are suited to it.

Like it or not, he will get the summer, and he will be backed. Though I don't think there'll be the massive turnover of players that some are expecting, bearing in mind that we've already done some business.

I think there was some expectation that he was going to be released last summer, but he got a year's extension which may have partly been because we weren't sure what was happening with Bajic at the time.

Was definitely the last season of it. We would have been away at Man Utd in the next round.

Always remember the Sunderland away game that season. It was live on Sky, they scored early and absolutely battered us but Welch had the game of his life to keep it at 1-0, then Andersen bagged a late point from just about the only time we got near their goal all night.

That Crewe away game was the one that did for us, coming off the back of the Birmingham game where Peter Ndlovu and Mike Dean cheated us out of the points.

Any chance you lot can do this on one of the umpteen other threads instead of taking this one off topic?

That job is Steve Cooper's if he wants it.

I ended up watching it from about 40 minutes in, just as the Monza keeper had got injured and had to be subbed, they then went 2 up in the resulting added time at the end of the first half. Pedro Pereira came on as a late sub for Monza too.

No, but of enough people. Media included. Now it's the reason we lost, because touring teams traditionally do so well in India of course.

Bazball was the greatest thing since sliced bread 2 Tests ago.

Was definitely the kit that made the players unable to pass the ball yesterday.

Cornick who came on and scored the other night and has been playing well recently?

I heard he got a splinter in his backside, out for the season.

People used to say this about LJ and it ultimately didn't do him any good when it was felt that he'd run his course. He'll get time and resources, possibly more than he might end up deserving, but I don't think they'll be shy about moving him on if it saves their own skin.

Not shocked.

What does that have to do with anything?

You do like to get hysterical, don't you?

Not sure anyone has said it is.

Agreed, I think we need to hear what the thought process was. Whether Manning will be asked is another point entirely.
