  1. God, England are terrible.

     

    God bless our scottish armchair army. Loyalty that borders on the obsessive.

     

    The Emirates is a fantastic stadium, very impressed. Bit weird not giving your ticket to a bloke on the turnstile though. Match was typical freindly fare but lit up by some amazing touches of skill. Soccer AM could get a month's worth of showboat material from that match. Ronaldo was so good I clapped him off.


  2. Anybody ever have a dream where you're falling from something and right when you hit the destination, BOOM, you wake up and it feels like you actually fell? I hate those.

     

    That often happens to me, usually when i've not been asleep for very long.


  3. The takeover has been delayed again with the transfer window slipping by. Mandaric was at Fulham last night so hopefully he's not getting too pissed off and there's nothing to worry about. We've got rid of a few players in the past couple of weeks (Sylla free, Low to Posh & O'Grady to Rotherham) so hopefully one or two loan signings might be possible. Threw it away last night but it was nice to see us score three decent goals and hopefully we'll give Birmingham a better game than Newcastle did because we need the points with even Southend making a scrap of it down there now.


  4. I'm in two minds over going to Chelsea or not. It's a Sunday which isn't ideal and we're going to get hammered and it's on TV so it's looking I'll be staying home. Plus, I watch a team that's won two European Cups every other week so why should I make the effort to go see a team that's won fuck all ;)

     

     

    Anyone know what the odds are of us repeating our 7-0 win over Chelsea from 1991?

     

    I'm getting a feeling for a number seven.....off Shevchenko's arse I reckon.

  6. Bloody Bolton. Hopefully we can beat Spurs on Monday at home, at the least we should be in European contention at the end of the season.

     

    What's the latest with Mandaric and the Foxes takeover?

     

    Should go through within the next two weeks all being well. The chance to bring in a couple of players this month would be a massive boost as the last two performances have been totally embarassing.


  7. We won again! 3 wins out of 4 and one of the best Xmas periods in living memory. Today was especially great as we never win on Boxing day and there's a nice gap between us and the bottom three now. Great goal from the lazy fucker Williams as well.


  8. I remember that Chelsea vs Liverpool game, seems such a long time ago now.

     

    I think the takeover will still happen, just not sure exactly when.

     

    This season is just about staying up, which I think we'll manage. A couple of decent midfielders on loan in January would definately help us avoid getting dragged down into any dogfight.


  9. I should have stated that it was only according to the usual few doom & gloom merchants that the club's existance was in the balance. I don't think any other fans, including me, think that would ever happen either.

     

    Mandaric has supposedly discovered that the extent of the club's debts are far greater than he was initially led to believe so this takeover thing looks in the balance.


  10. Two wins in a row since I got the new avatar so i'm keeping it.

     

    Not sure exactly what's happening with this proposed takeover and reading discussions on it just makes my head hurt. According to some the club's financial state is still so bad it's not unthinkable for us to go under properly if no new money comes in and/or we continue to be run the way we are currently. I'm sure the FA would gladly help kick us out the door on the way out.


  11. Did you see the look on that Icelandic guy's face during the Bolton game? You just knew the writing was on the wall. Dowie's sacking at Charlton also seemed harsh and premature and I very much doubt it'll save them this season.


  12. Derby up to second place

     

    There's no reason this can't be your year. It's obviously incredibly tight at the minute but looking at the top 8-10 positions I think Derby are one of the better bets not to slide down the table and remain top six. Southampton and West Brom have the potential to do better than they are at present but I think you compare favourably to most of the other sides in the top half.
