Re: Brackley v Darlo
Instead of another forward surely we need a physical, big strong centre half and a proper creative midfielder. AA clearly has gone off Storey which is unjust to me but while I like Hunt he is not the big dominant, nasty type of centre half our successful teams have had in the past. I would have had...

Re: Shorter games ?
Also the standard was considerably worse, games were played at a snails pace and players were neither as fit nor technically as skilled as those today. Pele, Puskas, Eusebio, Best...going back a bit further - Stanley Matthews? You telling me that none of those players were as technically skilled as...

Re: Graeme Armstrong YOURCLUB Q&A - Part Two
Excellent read. I would commend it to all 'owners'. So there you have it, Spen, in black and white: "thousands of pounds as a ‘signing on’ fee, plus a very good weekly wage" to play for the Pride of County Durham. This for a 33-year old bit-part player, what were they paying their top players???? A...

Re: Fixture backlog
Does the season have a definite end date? Did I read somewhere there was wriggle room? Has to end in May. FA have given special dispensation to keep going to 29th May but I think that would have to include conclusion of playoffs. The last round of league fixtures are on the 29th May so I dunno how ...

Fuck them. At first I would have had no problem with them being awarded the points. But after the behaviour of their keeper, crying on twitter that it may have to be replayed, while driving his car, and just being a wanker in general, then fuck them. Fuck them.

I'd be amazed if Gray was even a consideration. He'll see how Tommy Miller does in the next couple of games while he touts around for potential managers.

That's the one I was referring to. About a year after Euro 96. After that particular injury he had lost a yard of pace and acceleration - so it looked to me anyway. That had a noticeable effect, whereas the cruciate in 92 obviously hadn't because he was almost unplayable for a number of seasons afte...

What is doubly frustrating is that I have seen some bad Darlo sides over the years, some really awful ones, but I can't remember any of them losing the first 4 home games in a season. This is not a bad side, no matter what style we play or what our weaknesses are, there is a large element of luck t...

Re: Team v BPA
One last thing.
We were missing too many good players tonight - Hunt, McMahon, Liddle, Hatfield, Holness - arguably Storey (though Laing and Atkinson have done well together for me) - I get that Hunt can't play yet but could none of the others have played?

You can have as many plans as you like but when a team scores a goal then parks the bus its very hard to break them down. Reid should have done better for their goal without a doubt.

Re: Team v BPA
Don’t understand the formation tonight. Why go 4-2-3-1? Just put Atkinson in midfield, bring Storey in at CH and not play maguire or O’neill. The two with Reid doesn’t work, he doesn’t have the legs. Hoping for Holness, Hatfield and Wheatley on Sunday. I can see why AA stuck with Atkinson in centre...

How often do you think we will be one match away from a place in the FA Cup 3rd Round ? You're missing my point. It's not about how often this opportunity comes around (any other season I'd be hoping and praying we make it and draw a big club away), it's simply the fact that getting into Round 3 th...

So if we are in tier 2 and can host 2,000 fans then the Arena will be the only option.

On another note that’s three goals on the bounce for Sousa, I really liked Donawa but I believe Sousa is an upgrade. Fantastic bit of business by AA. So far so good with Sousa. Nifty wingers tend to run out of steam after a run of games, or they get a bit cold and can't play any more (like Gillies)...
