The Decemberists

Based on the reaction yesterday I'd say about 80% of the ones who went want him out. If he's still there on Saturday for the next home game it'll be interesting to see what the home fans make of him. Megson hasn't got to point yet where he's blaming anything. He comes out after every game and says how we just weren't good enough and the players aren't working hard enough and aren't doing the simple things right etc, but there's never any change in the displays. Martin Allen would be great. But would he want to join either of us? Why leave the table toppers for a team struggling at the bottom of the same divison. Last week when we had Brentford at home I got there about an hour before kick off as there was hardly any traffic on the way down from Manchester, and Allen took his whole team out to walk around the pitch and look at the ground just after 2pm. When they reached where the away fans sit, he took them up and sat them down in the seats, and was saying "Look lads, this is what all our fans are going to see. Don't let them down."

Interesting day out at Barnsley today... just awful awful football but at least the singing was good. As well as the now common "Megson! Sort It Out! Megson! Megson! Sort It Out!", we debuted threee new ones, a) "ON THE FLOOR! ON THE FLOOR! ON THE FLOOR!" etc, to the "'Ere We Go" tune. b) "STAND UP - IF YOU HATE LONG BALLS! STAND UP - IF YOU HATE LONG BALLS!" c) "LOYAL FANS! BEING RIPPED OFF! LOYAL FANS! BEING RIPPED OFF!" to the tune of "Same old (), always cheating" Plus lots of Brian Clough and Stuart Pearce song, which our usual back up when we're crap. We also went through a phrase of singing the name of all the players we've got who weren't picked today purely because they couldn't have done a worse job than the players we had out there. And Andrea Silenzi got a song as well just to rub it in. On his radio Nottingham interview afterwards that I've just listened to on the website Megson says "and despite the fact they all hate me, the very fact the supporters are turning up in such numbers is amazing and you've got to love them for that." And Johnno's broke a bone in the top of his leg too they think. Yay. But even if we get rid of Megson who the fuck is there to replace him with. Some idiots claim that Stuart Pearce would kill to come back here, and would quit Man City straight away, but like I said, they're idiots. Brian Laws would be another popular choice, but I honestly can't see why he'd leave Scunthorpe to come to us. And that leaves Nigel Clough, who's current team is current bottom on the Conference. And of course if we got any other manager from that league there'd be a bloody riot, but because it's Nigel he's bound to be great... Martin O'Neil is out of work at least, but then again - he is a long ball manager so we wouldn't want him even if we could get him Sorry about the rant, but it's just so fucking fustrating.

It'll be because TNA has signed an exclusive deal

One of the names used for it was PlayStation X - as the N64 was origianally called the Ultra 64 - but for some reason, but the X was dropped before release, but the intials stuck.

Well being a Scouser he probably thought they were taking him to court... We're away at Barnsley today. As it's only an hour away from Manch I'm forcing myself to go. Our away form is slightly better than our home form I think, so we might manage to hold on for a draw. The problem we've got, is that inbetween the penatly area's we honestly do look really good at time, it's just that as soon as the ball goes in our or then penalty area we just lose the plot and fuck up.

It's the only way I can get myself to wake up in the morning

Apart from a Rugby Union team that used to be pretty good, Leicester's got nothing. And it's not as if anyone really cares about Rugby anyway. Nottingham's got two football teams (both crap, but two crap is better than one mediocore), a great cricket team (apart from in one day games) with a Test Match ground, a great Ice Hockey team that gets the highest attendences in the UK, and a crap Rugby team (but apparantly they've made a good start to the season and might get promoted from whatever league they're in this year). But, yes, you're right, we don't have a statue. Damn.

"Big Van Vader" is, or was, a NJPW trade mark, that WCW could use as they had a deal with New Japan. That's why he was Super Vader in UWFi and just Vader in WWF. Don't know about it now though.

I really am struggling to see the point of the lawsuit. How exactly is this damaging the WWE or Vader? They're just being dicks for the sake of being dicks.

You may have won the C&G, but Notts are going to win the league!

Was anyone able to work out what formation we were supposed to be playing at the end? Jesus, it was like watching Forest...

Michael Nesmith - Tomorrow and Me

Champion Carnival 97 stands out for me, although that's probably as I'm such a mark for Misawa, Kawada and Kobashi. Despite the final matches not being that brilliant, I loved the idea of those three being perfectly matched and having to have the mini-Carnival to seperate them. And Kawada winning was cool considering the bad luck he had with his Triple Crown reigns in the 90s with injuries etc. As for which one I look forward to each yeah, it's still the Champion Carnival for me. Even though I know that NJPW is so much better than ALPW at the minute I still consider myself more of a AJ fan than NJ fan, in the same way I watched WWF in the mid-90s even though WCW was putting on much the better product. Plus Chono seems to win the G1 every single fucking time!

Just get rid of the damn title already...

He says he wants to get to the condiditon that he get in the ring again, just for one match, but it's hightly, highly unlikely. And he does know that, of course, but that's what he was trying to hold on to when he was spent the year plus in hospital and everything else he's had to go through, so it's probably more of a psychological thing rather than an achievable goal. But he can get around reasonable OK on crutches these days according to some sites and still does hours and hours of rehabilition work - when he's not rocking with his band anyway

For Lushus

I quite like RD, but Blake is just really really really really really really really really really really really really really bad. Really. Considering Sir Adam is meant to be a lawyer, it was a fucking stupid move on his part to sell the Get In The Ring name to ECW Press...

I'd say that is slightly worse than Sabu's broken neck, which he came back from after two months or so...

He started WMF when FMW went out of business, and I *think* he stood up without support for a couple of seconds at their debut show. WMF is now dead, as as far as I know he's still wheelchair bound, and will more than likely stay that way.

Quite pleased England lost. A regular knobhead customer at William Hills bet £500 on an England win. Oh how I laughed and laughed when he stormed out of the shop after Denmark's third goal.

EDIT: Nevermind, the links won't work.

We do need a forward, but I'd rather have one with a bit more experience, although that's one thing our current ones certainly don't lack and they're not exactly banging them in. Megson's logic must by that if he can score against our defence, by God, he must be unbelievable! And, as much as I hate to say it, is Fryatt really going to be that much better off with us than with Walsall...?

I'm going to be singing that song for the rest of the week now.

Graham's record for Wigan was 1 goal in 32 appearances, so although he's not quite at Michael Bridges level I wouldn't get your hopes up too much... According to Megson, in our two games so far we've had 32 shots on goal. And scored 4. I'm beginning to think we may just need a new striker...
