  1. Sorry, wrong thread. Best wishes to you too Nige.
  2. Actually, can you imagine the scenario. Colin meets JL : JL:’ Welcome to BCFC, Neil. ‘ CW(Broad Yorkshire accent): ‘Sorry sonny, I’ll only speak to the organ grinder. Pi55 off to Barbados and don’t come back til I’ve saved this shambles from relegation. ‘
  3. Do Swansea still need a manager? Perhaps we could come to an arrangement? Come in Colin. It’s your destiny
  4. You don’t lose because of boring, dull football. In fact in many instances eg a relegation fight, winning ugly is preferable or even required. Exciting attacking football sometimes allows inconsistency of results to be overlooked. Just look at Spurs. It’s when you lose playing boring football that it gets really bad. memories are short but we’ve certainly had patches like that under all our recent managers. GJ less so and certainly not Cotts’ double season. There’s been plenty of mediocrity for years.
  5. You’re bang on. Apart from moments like the first 20 against Stoke, we have badly missed Scott and Semenyo in terms of really creating anything. This ‘project’ (sorry) was pretty much doomed (or at least limited to mid table at best) once those two were sold. NP got buy in from a mediocre bunch which meant they were over performing enough to pick up some points. Now the buy in seems to have faded and they are being asked to play a style they’re not suited to, things are regressing. However with the addition of a really quality, creative CM and a progressive right back, that might be enough to spark the others. Particularly if we get the likes of Wells and Naismith back.
  6. Just like Tinman, she’s past her best when she takes her boots off.
  7. Last time I went there for football, Westfield was shut for football fans. You had to walk all the way round.
  8. What about ‘final actions’? Same coaching manual? If their behaviours and final actions aren’t not reinforcing what the group don’t know, they’ll be back to square one.
  9. I bet his does. Ps you climb the greasy pole high enough and you don’t need another job afterwards. You’ve already made more than most of us in a lifetime. oh and it’s us (and the Lansdowns) paying it.
  10. Yes but any intelligent person would see through the spin and Bristol Sport bullshit. Not wishing to belittle the guy but is it not a case of ‘Money talks and if I get sacked I get a big payoff anyway’ These guys are journeymen in the truly accepted interpretation: they get a huge daily rate and even if they don’t make it to the end of the contract, they get compensated the daily rate as if they’d worked the whole lot. In other words if it goes tits up they don’t give a sh1t.
  11. So as he’s trying to hit on Siouxsie Sioux, he gets a reaction from the protective lads and the whole swearing thing goes viral. Not a single reaction to Bill Grundie’s ‘I’ll see you later’
  12. Loved that shop. My pink and green striped shirt from there is still my fav clobber of all time. What days. Haven’t read all of thread but had tickets for Sex Pistols at Bamboo Club. They had to cancel so never saw them. Saw all the others: Jam with the Cortina’s at Redland, Buzzcocks at the Locarno and so many others. Happy daze
  13. In addition to being annoyed by the heartless (even if later ‘I didn’t mean it’) and ignorant posts on here by one poster, I genuinely fear that it will be extremely difficult for any athlete to come back from an illness/injury like that and be anything like they were before. I don’t know what you were like before Ross but I wish you all the best for a total recovery. Keep strong. (And ignore the ridiculous comments)!!
  14. Football pundits eh. Ain’t we all geniuses? Only thing that’s actually predictable is death, taxes and sh1t in the Middle East.
  15. Trouble is we haven’t got the players to really nail a possession game. Not enough technical players who can play on the half turn. Play a game that’s not suited to your players and you’ll get found out by the top teams. Coaching can go some way to improving things but you need raw talent. NP was experienced enough to cut his coat according to his cloth. Problem is his signings are either not good enough or are injured. Manning has an odd mixture of veterans, youngsters and journeymen. No real real quality cos it’s all gone to the south coast.
  16. Ah I get it now. Nige only had half a season ticket!! First half! Wonder if Colin has got a quarter season ticket. Last quarter!! ‘The Yorkshireman expects to be back in a job after "a nice Christmas" because he is enjoying his new routine of working from February until the end of the season.’ BBC Sport
  17. Good job we weren’t playing the whole of Macedonia.
  18. I had a memorable return after 8 pints of natch and the wrong door bell.
  19. Think I'd better log off; I've obviously drifted into a gas forum by mistake.
  20. Change your user name to LansdownsCRAYON! signs and shirts come from the magic crayon. It will help your mission no end if you could draw a shirt on your sign. We might even use it as a stand alone fourth shirt to be worn by all our McRories. and No 1 is Rossie C and No 2 is Rossie C and so on We all dream of a team of Maccie C’s
