At a Network Rail depot just around the corner from Bletchley railway station. Yeah the travel is horrid i hate it. Im being put up in a hotel though for the next 5 weeks or so starting from tonight. Don’t know which one yet though. Looking for another job to be honest i work nights and my young body is burning out :lol: :lol:
Anyone want a construction type grafter with a raft of tickets
;) ;) Not really on topic butStoijovic
Olembe Hall Webster Edman
De Ridder Kapo Bouaouzan
Aghahowa Boselli ScotlandSome team is that.
My personal opinion is that Olembe, De Ridder and Bouaouzan were not given a chance so i think it’s unfair to stick it to them because they didn’t get a chance.
Boselli has only played a handful of games and i still think he can come good. You don’t get called up for a nation like Argentina for a laugh. He has goals in him, it is just whether Martinez can find the key to unlock them.And there was nowt wrong with Edman. He was belting for us. He had a shocker against Tottenham after a year or so out and never got another chance but before that he was an ideal replacement for Bainsey

Good
1. Wilson Palacios – For me one of the most complete midfielders we have ever had(bar his shooting). His energy, passion, determination and loyalty is a good marker for anyone to aspire to.
2. Arjan De Zeeuw – A lot of sentiment in this one but i have never seen such a consistently solid Centre Back. He was highly regarded at Barnsley and they were gutted he left after their relegation from the Premiership. When he went to Portsmouth we were as equally gutted but he was even better when he came back. The premiership experience and playing under Harry Redknapp made him a top performer and was vital in our first season.
Bad
It would be easy to just pick a De Ridder or Bouaouzan but they didn’t play and i don’t think can qualify. so here goes…….
1. Fitz Hall – Shame really because he came with a half decent reputation as the season drew nearer and lack of centre backs i think he was a poorly researched signing and a bit knee jerk. His lack of pace was exposed too many times and his defensive ability wasn’t good enough to cover for it.
2. Marlon King – Again came with a good footballing reputation but his lack of skill, pace, strength or finishing was very quickly realised. The consistency of his poor performances became too often and inevitably cost us 5m, a prison sentence, terminated contract and one goal to show for it.
Vladimir Stoijkovic and Hendry Thomas pushed them close though.
1. Wigan Athletic (0.4 m)

Madejski StadiumYeah Reading all the way. Balls to the Welsh, Dirty horrible fan base. Cardiff look as if their Preston North End moment has been and gone so here’s hoping Swansea slip up at the same stages. Don’t want Welsh teams in the ENGLISH Premiership. They are very vocal (and physical) in their hatred of the English anyway. Why would any bugger want them in ANY of our leagues.
He may be sold Donnelly but you are the only one who has read that statement waaaaaaaay in between the lines. :confusion-seeingstars:
Every manager every season get’s a new chance and new optimism. People didn’t just slag him off for the fun of it last season, He brought most of it on himself. I think he really shot himself in the foot with the opening 2 games and was after that always trying to recover but it took another 6 months or so before he managed to. I really do believe we will be a lot more comfortable this season. Even without N’Zogbia. I feel the lessons he learned in the last 2 or 3 months are valuable because there really was cause to take positives from that period. You could see it in the players and the manager. I don’t know quite how it happened but everyone worked for each other.
Sort of summed it up in one for me. I won’t apologise for calling the team crap when they have been crap. I don’t apologise when i say they have played well. I just call a spade a spade. That does not take the glossy shine off yesterday though. It was the best feeling in the world. I’m so ill today. Must have supped over 20 pints and cant remember walking 2 miles home from Standish :confusion-seeingstars: :confusion-seeingstars: :confusion-seeingstars:
