No more so than any other game. Charlton this weekend is much more important. Singularly underwhelmed by this draw. Deja vu from two years ago when we were stronger but still lost. League momentum is the only thing that matters at present.
You can stick this tie where the sun don't shine.
RIP.
When I knew my own Father was terminally ill, I knew we had to squeeze in one more Albion game with him. The season was nearing its end so there wasn't a lot of choice. I picked an away game ( as he lived out of the area ) and prayed for two things. Decent weather ( so he could keep warm )...
We will judge Hughton later in the season. As far as Hyypia is concerned, the verdict was reached some time ago ( in my case...early November ) It is clear when a manager is out of his depth and powerless to change anything. He realised this himself and did the decent thing and resigned. It was...
It all depends on home form, where we are playing most of the higher placed clubs....Brentford, Ipswich, Watford, Forest, Bournemth, Norwich, Derby, Wolves.
I can see us picking up decent away points but the Amex worries me.
We all know there is a difference in standard between the PDC and the BDO but so is there between the PL and the rest of the footballing pyramid. If you are slagging off the BDO you are effectively saying that the grass roots of darts counts for nothing, just the same as slagging off all levels...
Well here's a go at a top 25 ( post 1945 )....in no particular order.
Matthews, Finney, Edwards, Wright, Haynes, Greaves, Mackay, Law, Charlton R, Best, Banks, Moore, Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Robson, Jennings, Brady, Hoddle, Gascoigne, Shilton , Lineker, Shearer, Keane, Scholes.
( and that's...
No...its just same old, same old, boring drivel from JCL'S who have no idea of the history of the two clubs but revel in this manufactured, artificial rivalry between two clubs with absolutely nothing in common. Anyone with any savvy knows that a London club, surrounded by chimney pots has no...
Agree with that.
It drives me mad to hear the word ' great ' used far too often. It does a disservice to those that truly deserve the title.
( ' Great '...." of remarkable ability, genius, intellectual or practical "....OED )
Great footballers come round once or twice in a generation, if you are...
As said before, Norwich fans are not a good guide. Speak to them a few months ago and Adams was doing a great job. Now...its a different story. They are like a mini Liverpool, wrapped up in their own self-importance, demeaning the Championship. They reckon they have the best, most loyal fans...
It all started many years ago with Bill Shankly and the phenomenal rise of pop music in the City. Shankly pulled a slumbering second division side up by its bootstraps with a mixture of shrewd signings and superb psychological warfare. He gave pride back to the football club, started winning...
I think most of us, including TB, have now realised that the most important asset for a manager in the Championship is experience. It is a physically and mentally gruelling slog and you need a solid base to start with. It is not the division to experiment in. You have to sure of your best 14...
