Yeah....at 34-35 years of age, there is nothing else that footballers ( with a lot of money in the bank ) can do. Many people change careers and re-invent themselves more than once but apparently footballers are exempt from this, totally incapable of achieving anything else in life.
No one is doubting their character but they do have one more step to take, to crown a memorable season. They had momentum. Five straight wins swept them to promotion. No one wants to see the season fizzle out on the back of three straight defeats. It will just take the edge off of a superb...
Means absolutely zilch.
Last nights odds.....Tottenham 1/3....Draw 10/3....West Ham 6/1......Six to bloody one in a two horse race!!!....crazy!!!.....local rivals...hate each other....WHU know how to beat Tottenham.
Value bet at Villa Park is a small saver on the draw at 13/5.
Only if Knocky decides to show up.
His last three outings have been decidedly ordinary and he has definitely switched off. Lets hope he can focus for one more big push.
A chance for history. Our first second tier title. A place on the club honours board. A trophy and a medal. A glorious finale to a season that has seen this team dig as deep as any I have witnessed in 50 years. They have clung on in games that they had no right to still be in. They have survived...
After the last two displays, the players owe us one. Whether we get it is another matter. We will be able to tell fairly early on if they are up for it. A lot will depend on Knocky. Since the Wolves game he has been pretty subdued. Ch has to start with Stephens and Sidwell, forget Skalac and...
Seems unlikely.
There would not have been enough on the waiting list and the club would have been forced to make an announcement, to ensure they were all sold. These sound like comps that have been returned.
Good on yer RW.
Custis is a tit, a self-opinionated bore. A typical modern football journo. No real pedigree. No gravitas. To question who RW is, was laughable and provocative. Two types should never be invited onto radio shows...1) Football agents 2) Football journalists...most of them aren't...
You have helped steer the good ship Albion through some very stormy waters and now you can depart, happy and content that we are in safe hands and sailing much calmer seas. The ship took a fearful buffetting at times and came very close to sinking but there was a resilient crew on board, who...
I think everyone in the Universe did that.
Bets were being placed on them going all season unbeaten and also on them exceeding 100 points. A certain TalkSport contributor, with strong North Eastern connections, stands to win £40k if Toon lift the title.
...and Blackburn ( who have at least won the PL ) or Forest ( who have won twice as many European Cups as that trio put together ) could be playing Div 1 football next season.
I am going as Tim Henman ( all pristine white, well groomed, bottle of water and racquet ) and my son is going as Jimmy White ( scruffy, tousled, bottle of vodka in one hand, cue in the other and a line of coke to snort at half-time. This is in negative expectation of us failing to beat Villa...
For as long as they are in the PL and have a mega wealthy backer.
They have had a head start on us and are learning how to survive at that level. They could be the new Swansea. Get promoted, stick to the same formula and consolidate. Eventually, however well run you are, your time runs out and...
May is an out and out political animal. Fiercely ambitious and determined. She wouldn't reveal her hand pre-referendum until the final few days of campaigning, when she suddenly declared her support for Remain. Those close to her knew she was really a Brexiteer but she had worked everything...
