  1. @Super_Danny_Allsopp Good team Danny..but I would prefer Valencic for Burke
  2. No, not a career reprise on the Banjoman, but on a look back for Millwall's Red invasion http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/yuran-admits-hes-top-of-the-flops-6318309.html Always remember Danny Baker complete with Russian Red Army Fur hat, on television full of enthusiasm of a new dawn for Millwall...but such new dawn was relegation
  3. Maybe the only change will be MacKenzie into the centre with Hewitt switching to Right Back. However I strongly feel we need to play 4 5 1 and drop Izzy, with Stead up front. Midfield five Curtis Noble Aborah, with Campbell and Valencic out wide. Milsom may also come into the reckoning.
  4. Taxi tales...Lima Peru... exit area of Lima airport can be best described as a cage. Taxi drivers touting for business and I couldnt find the car booked for me by the hotel. So I went back inside and paid a bit extra for an airport car. Conversing with the guy in Spanish, he said dont worry when we go through red lights. If we stop at red lights, likelihood of being robbed at gunpoint. So an interesting 20 minute drive through the dark streets of Lima to a hotel surrounded by barbed wire walls. Had an early flight next day so arranged for same guy to bring me back to airport. I get to airport to check in for flight to Cuzco, to find airline ticket not valid. Dont worry sir, its happened many times before, we give you preprinted letter for you to take back to your travel agent saying we only accept tickets issued by American Airlines only. so had to pay about 100 dollars for the flight. I could have gone to the Aero Continente desk, but that airline had a not so good reputation ( must have been true, as I believe, allegedly american insurance companies subsequently withdrew their insurance so they couldnt fly). So just paid 100 bucks and an american girl turns up on spec...same flight USD 70? I asked why her flight was cheaper? Well sir, you had a reservation already? Yes maybe reservation with an invalid ticket! Such is life in Latin america Vielen danke @DangerousSausage
  5. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/row-zed/steam-train-drives-through-football-6620021 Well, we never got the monorail, perhaps will enhance the watching experience at Meadow Lane
  6. Please can I have a go as manager I am sure my team would have done a better job than the team that played yesterday
  7. @Dripsey3 If he can't beat the full back of a basement team, I fear it is the latter
  8. Colin's interview with Jamie...not a direct question on why he waited to 85th minute to make a change? Jamie's lack of action implies that he doesn't think the subs bench were good enough.... and Stanley and Snijders may well be best placed to tulip gazing back in the low countries. For peats sake
  9. Ratings: Leigh Curtis NEP Piethagoram Carroll 6................ 4 An experienced keeper should not get caught in no mans land for their first Hewitt 6................ 4 Defensively weak, offered nothing going forward Mackenzie 7............ 4 Looking for a commanding and vocal centre half. Well we got neither Hollis 7....................5 Average Adams 7..................4 Caught static for their second. Expected better Noble 7................... 4 wasted wide, dead balls atrocious Smith 6................... 3 The invisible man.. Banton 5................. 3 Any better than Snijders? I don't think so Stead 7 .................. 5 Only forward threat Izzy 4......................3 Perhaps 3 legged as he falls over a lot How Leigh can deem some of those performances / marking acceptable?
  10. Shambles. When 980 Notts supporters see that it's not working, so why wait 80 minutes for a change. Surprised that Izzy remained on his feet when being substituted. He embarrassed himself when falling over in penalty area. No heart to man up. Dead ball quality from Noble 1/10. Never looked capable of scoring. Trying to be positive but today, a team with no creative quality was found out. A wasted journey. #Stanley In
  11. The trouble is most refs are wise to McLeod's falling over antics. He does himself no favours and he should try to stay on his feet to score.
  12. @notts-joe I worry about Izzy's work rate... Hughes was always looking to aggressively chase down defenders in possession. Izzy is quite lazy in that regard, hence I would prefer to play with Stead as the one up leading the line. Looking forward to seeing a good match tomorrow
  13. Expect team tomorrow to line up as: Carroll Hewitt MacKenzie Hollis Adams Atkinson Curtis Noble Campbell Stead Izzy Piethagoram's creative side: Loach Hewitt MacKenzie Hollis Adams Atkinson Curtis Noble Stanley Valencic Stead Yes, I know Izzy isnt included but he only scores at home
  14. a Sirrel quote..."if you learn something from every game, there should come a time when you should never lose"
  15. @Elite_pie One thing that seems to get overlooked is that Stanley can deliver from dead balls. Campbell is full of running and covers an immense lot of ground but the final end product is simply not there
  16. @ohstanleyaborah #StanleyIn
  17. @ohstanleyaborah I will be pleasantly surprised if Stanley is in the starting line up or even on the bench..Hope we don't have to ask for a "watching paint dry icon / button" for a non creative team
  18. Expect team tomorrow to line up as: Carroll Atkinson MacKenzie Hollis Adams Bennet Curtis Noble Campbell Stead Izzy But Piethagoram's gung ho, lets entertain the crowd line up should be: Loach Atkinson MacKenzie Hollis Adams / Milsom Curtis Noble Aborah Valencic Stead Izzy
  19. @Dripsey3 Argentinian film Nueve reinas also good too
  20. @Dripsey3 I have heard good things about Ida. I can also recommend this Argentinian film...a collection of interesting stories
  21. Ian Bolton, left for Watford.. Needham and Masson more famously, Martyn Busby returning to QPR undervalued... Paul Barnes, Rob Matthews, Anders Jacobsen, probably our best centre half this millenium. Craig Short Dean Yates (again seriously undervalued), Draper and Tommy J,
  22. Following on from @AmericanPie commenting on favourite actors / actresses, thought I would share my eclectic favourite films...and if you are expecting a list of Hollywood blockbusters, then best not read further Cinema Paradiso Breaking the waves A very long engagement Big Fish The Lives of others The secret in their eyes Hidden City Three Colours Trilogy, Brassed Off Little Voice Fever Pitch Notting Hill Mute Witness Starter for 10 The Reader Grand Budapest Hotel The Hunger Marathon Man Dr Zhivago The Life of Brian This is England Dead Man Shoes Brass Target Charade North by Northwest Arabesque The girl in the cafe Before Sunrise
  23. I am with Gil on this "didn't agree with the decision".. I would always prefer Gil to Smith...but in the overall scheme of things, we are overloaded with "decent" midfielders, so one can see for economic reasons, it may be the fairest way for both parties
  24. I hope Noble isn't reading this ..I think you mean "treat"
  25. @Dripsey3 you missed "always" before "correct"
