  1. Kavanagh scored all four in a 4-0 victory away to Palace U21. Must be in running for a bench spot if Josh needs an op. If it is a hernia, it needs fixing and action now would have him back in New Year. Think that takes him to twelve so far this season, so must be a good bet for twenty if he stays fit.
  2. Blackburn game if I remember right was the one that Noel Brotherston turned into a mix of Cruyff and Pele for 90 minutes. One of the best performances from an opposition player I have seen but he had our lads so baffled that they didn't know what to do. Think it might have been one of those days when everything he tried worked as he never really stood out in other meetings. Always wondered why performances like that often happened against us but over the years realised that sometimes that is just football and having seen us hammer Arsenal, Chelsea, both Manchesters, Newcastle and quite a few o
  3. Dean Whitestone for Ipswich game and Oliver Langford for Hull. Doesn't seem that long since the last time we had them
  4. Thought Mr Kitchen had a decent game. Didn't blow for everything but got most stuff right when he did. Seemed to be able to detect difference between simulation and real knocks better than many (or he was just cold and wanted game to keep going) Hopefully similar style employed on Saturday as could get a bit tasty if Mr England has an off day
  5. To think we all sniggered when some fool predicted we would win 4-0... Man is a genius 🙂
  6. Darren England in charge of Leeds game. Assisted by Akil Howson and Natalie Aspinall. Believe Akil is the first black ref since Uriah Rennie to officiate Prem games, so hopefully he enjoys similar career
  7. 1) Reading 2) unchanged 3) as above 4) 0-2 to Boro, Jones and Crooks 5) Archibald Alexander Leach
  8. Ref for Bristol is John Busby... fairly new, couple of seasons on list, Mr Kitchen returns for Preston game
  9. Quote from Maresca "It is what it is" 🙂 Sure I've heard that before ... can't think where
  10. Conceding four goals after going down to ten men... Must have been a bad ref 🙂
  11. I thought we had been involved in some marathon penalty shootouts.. but this is another level 🙂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67360598
  12. Superb win for Donetsk against Barcelona. Lovely goal for the winner and could easily have been 2-0.
  13. Oliver Langford again for Saturday. Hopefully similar result to last time 🙂
  14. The last time I went to Plymouth was Mr Anderson's Cup game. Absolutely hoyed it down and a certain Mr Souness looked as though he wanted to change his mind about signing for us. Not a fond memory but enough to remind me that their crowd can definitely play a part in cheering them on, so not a game to take for granted. It is winnable but they will make us earn it if we succeed 1) 1-2 2) Our strongest available .. don't take chances 3) Home to young Barnaby, a well-known Hoe, popular with sailors 🙂 4) A lot 5) No
  15. Aren't they supposed to take the wives with them instead of just leaving them in the middle of the room ... asking for a friend 🙂
  16. Felt Mr Scott was pretty decent overall. Didn't see any obvious howlers and allowed enough leeway to enable us to see an exciting game despite the conditions. Dealt with the little flare up after Rogers "retaliated" in the proper manner and kept things from getting out of hand needlessly. Nice to see a game where we can say no complaints on the whole. Didn't appear to be an excess of time-wasting ploys so added minutes reflected injury treatments and subs fairly well.
  17. A bit disappointed with some of the time wasting and manhandling allowed by Mr Kitchen but no worse than most. Ref for Plymouth game will be Darren England... Luckily no VAR 🙂
  18. Not saying it is the case in this instance but when your brain is influenced by certain substances, thinking doesn't come into it sadly. Rules are rules and it is not unknown for decisions to be reviewed after time has passed. Don't want to see the fences return, so support the policy as you don't know intentions and they are not always good.
  19. Ace striker Peltier has just scored for Rotherham 🙂
  20. Andrew Kitchen will be in charge against Stoke and Graham Scott against Exeter. Kitchen is from Durham and this is his first season at Championship level. Scott has been around for years and has a reputation for being strict on time wasting, dissent and diving so could be a big influence on things
  21. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67204097 Always liked him as a player. Hope things work out well
  22. RIP William Gates (The Original Bill) 😞
  23. Would say that despite some minor quibbles, Ms Welch nearer the top of this season's lot so far on that showing. Didn't show a lot of empathy to Mr. Bielik after he got "nutted" though 🙂. Way ahead of Stroud and a few others we've had in the recent past.
  24. Thought it was a very enjoyable game and would have been a much more convincing victory if Mr Ruddy hadn't had that extra Weetabix and was very impressed with the performances of Barlaser and Fry in particular. No probs with ref other than the advantage decisions but if we had her every week, I would not object. Wasn't too well served by assistants but kept game under control and wasn't baffled by any actions so hope she gets more games at this level. We retained possession well and kept on top of their attack for majority of game. Crooks and Coburn by their physical presence alone make life v
