Could do with a few more showing this type of commitment.
There was an Irish lad in the hospitality at the Blackburn game, was that you?
Indeed it was[/quote]
Always good to put a face to a name.
You in there for Spurs?
did by any chance the plumbers merchants owner get a platform onto the national media stage to air his radical outlook on every subject known to mankind, or did his company go from cheap tacky off peak adverts with voice overs from stuart hall to being on every football programme in the land at peak time viewing that propelled his companies sales and ultimate value through the roof.Not quite true though is it?
I’m no stock broker, but a little web based research and I found that JJB shares were over £4 in 2001, but only around £2.75 when Whelan sold up in 2007.

That’s all well and good, but if you add up all the money from the lads’ subs each week and the extra income from the advertising then it’s no wonder he can afford to spend half the year in his caravan in Morecambe!
;)Still no proof it will work for 90 minutes so no, not the end of the debate at all.And you’re right, Di Santo was pants.
Got to agree. It was the fact we changed things that made the difference.
If we had started 442 and then switched to 451 it might have had a similar impact.
Well done Bob though. Still kept ’em both standing around on the touchline for 5 minutes plus before actually bringing them on though. Hugo was getting the right hump.
I have a phobia about leaving early.
Back at Springy when I was a lad my dad always got us there 5 minutes after kick off and we always left 5 minutes before the end. His argument was always ‘to beat the traffic’. What traffic!?! We had a 5 minute jog upto John Fisher school and then a 10 minute drive to Ince.
Countless times we heard a roar (well at least a cheer) as we legged it to the car and could rarely work out who had actually scored. No radio in the car and so always had to wait for the Football Pink to come out to discover the result of game I’d actually been to!
Now I get to games at least an hour before kick off and am usually one of the last to leave. My old man makes his own way there and back.
The stats alos show that we got fck all from any of his corners and free kicks.

The stats also show that we get fck all from corners and free kickes when Ben Watson doesn’t take them.
I bet Gomez is relieved at losing his “I’m the whipping boy” tag.[/quote]
He ain’t no whipping boy for me. Already stated I think he’s a good ‘un, just not at set plays.
He’ll now bang in a winning free kick in our next game, or stick a corner right on someone’s head for a goal!

And why does N’Zogbia always go and stand next to him when we only ever play 1 in 10 short?
Yesterday was a great performance (apart from the first 25 minutes) and a great result, but these set pieces are doing my head in.
:angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead:Hot vimto – smashing stuff. Still drink it now.The burger van on the corner of the West and South stands actually sells hot vimto. Not sure it’s quite the pre-match tipple of choice for most on here though!
I think Watson’s open play was really good yesterday. As you say he’s always showing for the ball and puts in a shift.
But, for the love of God, stop him taking set plays. It wasn’t just the two shockers in the last ten minutes.
Hey, I’m with him with those bibs, I’ve always struggled with them.Mind you, I never had someone come to help me actually put it on.
I’m sure that if you ever got into difficulties Standish would be happy to pull it off for you!
