      Why did they and his team mates vote him player of the season then?

      When players leave clubs unexpectedly the fans always call um pot.
      In addition the jocks know fek aw about football.

        Caldwell has been playing regular for Celtic so has no fitness issues. He has trained with the team for 2 or 3 days so if he’s good enough get him straight into the team I say. As for his partner, I see him taking on the lead role, marking the oppos centre forward and being the one who shouts the odds for the back four, when to stay when to come out etc. I cannot see him pairing up with Bramble somehow. Boycie is quicker to respond, can pick up the darting runs from the quicker forwards or players bursting through from midfield. his decision making is better than Brambles and makes less gaffs.

        Steve Gohouri will take a few weeks to get match fit but when he is, I can see him being in the heart of the defence doing what Boycie can do but with a bit more aggression and flair.

        At that point I can see Boycie dropping into right back with Mario on the bench until the end of season when I think he will be released.

        Couldn’t quite fit that on the back of a post card Griff but there you have it.

            Just to clarify that last post before I get red flagged. When watching youtube I also had ESPN Classics ont telly and they were showing this:-

            Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal, Villa Park, 1999
            Ryan Giggs’s mazy, magical wonder goal provided what was almost the iconic moment of the treble winning season, beating most of the Arsenal side in the last ever semi-final replay to send Sir Alex Ferguson’s side to the final.

                I see his missus was called Sandra Spears before she got married.

                I suppose you could call her, Britton nee Spears…

                    All bull, the ration is about 1:1 just like anywhere else. Used to go out with a girl from Nottingham and visited a number of times and never noticed an imbalance of the genders. Enjoyed the pub a Trip To Jerusalem built into the caves under Notts Castle very much but I actually hope Forest Green win as Its donkey’s years since I enjoyed a visit to a non league ground.

                    Taken from the latest census

                    “Nottingham City has a distinctly different age structure, with many more 15-29 year old persons than the County.
                    Men outnumber women up to the age of 25, at which point there are increasingly more women than men. At the oldest age groups there are many more women than men.”

                    Sounds like its going to be the owd Southport Riverside “grab a granny” night, revisited. ;)

                      I’m sorry to sound like I’m on a downer on the guy, but Browny whilst still battling hard couldn’t pass water and constantly gave the ball away in his time before his departure. Its just like City will find out about Viera, his legs are not the same as they were and thats 75% of his game gone.

                      One observation re tonights game, it was against a championship side and a poor one at that.
                      Give me the option of Brown or Thomas, I would still take the latter.

                        As good a season as I think Thomas and Diame are having, we have no bite in midfield anymore since Cattermole and Brown left.

                        Bleedin Eck, I’ve witnessed Hendry Thomas so far this season finding is feet in the PL, but in doing so tackling everthing in sight with avengance.
                        He’s already served one suspension and on his way to another.

                        Like you say no bite in midfield. :roll:

                            Caldwell for £1m would be an absolute steal, but as for Lua Lua and Elmander, I wouldnt pay £8 never mind £8m…they are both garbage of the highest order.

                            I remember that guy Webster also being a steel. Keep well away from Scottish keepers and centre halves.

                                That would be a knee jerk signing of the highest order signing RVN. A player going on 34 with this recent activity to brag abaout:-

                                “In November 2008, Real Madrid announced that Van Nistelrooy would miss the remainder of the 2008–09 season after exploratory arthroscopic surgery revealed a partially torn meniscus in his right knee, with an expected recovery time of six to nine months following a second operation to repair the damage. Van Nistelrooy travelled to the United States to see specialist Richard Steadman, who had previously operated on the same knee back in 2000. At the time of his injury, he had 10 goals in 12 club appearances for the season.Following the injury, he was de-registered by Real Madrid for the rest of the 2008–09 season, and his shirt number was given to Dani Parejo. In the last preseason game before the start of La Liga, Van Nistelrooy stepped on the pitch for the first time since his injury and played the last fifteen minutes of the game against Rosenborg, substituting Kaka.[when?] Van Nistelrooy came on for Cristiano Ronaldo in the 80th minute against Xerez in his first La Liga match since recovering from his injury. In the 81st minute, he provided the assist for a Benzema goal, following it with his own 88th minute goal. However, during his strike, he picked up a thigh injury. It was revealed by Real Madrid that he would be out from first team action for up to 6 weeks. On October 27 Van Nistelrooy made his second comeback of the season coming on as a substitute for Raul in the 71st minute against Alcorcon in the Copa del Rey”

                                At least if we signed him he would be a good companion for Kirky in the treatment room.

                                  The last sentence in this article made me chuckle. :lol:

                                  The big question is, if this speculation is true, would Kirkland ever pass a medical? Highly doubtful, he won`t even attempt to catch a cross until the second half of a game because his back hasn`t ‘warmed-up`.
