Good post Owlfan. In the short time he has been with us I have become a big Orlandi fan, but he wasn't at his best yesterday and some of his passes went awry, as they did for many of our players. You rightly highlighted El Abd's lack of passing ability, as the rest of the team has been improved...

Yesterday was my first trip to Hillsborough. I had a very friendly chat with a local before the match and then me and my lad walked to the ground. Sheffield people must be very short, probably due to working down the mines, as there was barely any legroom. I looked around for a giant TV screen...

I agree, the Championship is not a bad place to be. My concern is that we might struggle to hang on to the likes of Bridcutt if we don't go up this year. At present we are building a side slowly, piece by piece, and if you look at each player as individuals then we should, by right, be...

I was there and have no idea what you're on about, so maybe the rest of the world don't know either. Care to share?

He did alright I thought. Some very good touches but he's not yet on the same wavelength as the other players; needs a couple more games I think. The beginning of the 2nd half when CMS came on they looked very dangerous.

I agree, he was shockingly bad. He certainly favoured Wednesday. The tackle on Calderon should have been a straight red; it was awful. And what exactly did Ulloa do to earn a yellow card, other than put pressure on the defender who conceded a throw in? Isn't that what a good striker does?

They were excellent in the early part of the 2nd half today. Unfortunately the ref seemed to find something wrong with anything Ulloa did, even booking him for forcing the defender into conceding a throw-in. After another tackle the ref spoke to Ulloa (using Calderon as an interpreter) and it...

I'll wait to see it on TV tonight but my first reaction was that it was a bad tackle, but that it wasn't a 2-footed lunge. I may have to stand corrected after I see it on the TV later.

I think most of us there were busy looking at the ref in confused bewilderment that he was only going to show a yellow for a shockingly bad tackle. It was only after the ref showed the card that it seemed to kick off on the benches, very difficult to see from where I was in the away end as by...

As much as I love the Pistols' music I find it hard to find anything 'great' about Sid. He was chosen to replace Glen Matlock because 'he looked good' and was neither a talented singer or bass player. Yes, it was sad that another life was lost to drugs too soon but lets not glamorise it.

To understand the Barnes sending off today you have to go back a few minutes, when he was the victim of a very bad tackle that earned a yellow card. It did seem from that point on that Barnes was looking for some sort of retribution. As for the sending off incident, Barnes was defending the...

I really can't be bothered to read through 5 pages of 'stuff', but my opinion is that if you have a very highly paid individual who cannot get close to the first team then from a business sense it makes absolute sense to offload them. It makes no difference who you offload them to because we...

Sorry, I've been drinking ...

Team V :lolol: Wednesday? Kuszcack Upson Bridcutt~Hammond Buckley~Lopez~Vicente~Orlandi~KLL CMS Ulloa

Thank you, I still have it somewhere, along with all the other Jam singles in their picture sleeves. And I have The Gift album in that rather natty pink & white wrapping paper cover as well.

'Away from the Numbers' is one of my all time favourites; hard to believe that Weller must have been just 17 or 18 when he wrote it.

Ian Holloway - 5th Columnist? I'm one of his biggest fans at the moment! :lol:

Me too, the limited edition double single with live versions of ... er ... can't remember.

I'm a retired triathlete, everything from sprint distance to Ironman. After triathlon I became a cyclist (not a difficult transition) but am trying to get fit again after a knee injury, not easy at nearly 50 years of age. Sports I enjoy watching are F1, MotoGP, rugby (both League and Union)...

Does she go?
