Utter drivel and tosh
We only sign robust players
I'll take anything tomorrow... goal from a defensive clearance blasted against someones arris that creeps over the line, a shanked clearance from their keeper that goes in, own goal, any goal...
Good news / Bad news....
The bad news: Ref tomorrow is Keith Stroud.
The good news: Keith Stroud owes us after his $hithousery at Norwich..
TBH...He'll be just as bad as usual.

Have good memories about games vs cardiff. 12 Nov 1977 (oh dear!), my birthday. Lost my wallet on way through the turnstiles so had do rush back to see if anyone had handed it in. They had, so took my seat about 10 mins after kickoff by which time we were 2-1 up (Sammy stewart scored one of them). Sammy was a friend of the family back then & he scored again later in a 4-1 win.
Was at the game at ninian park in april 07. Was it Deano who scored to make it 1-0? I remember being sat in the car park listening to the chaos at elland road to see if they would restart, to see if we would survive, and we did of course.
I then ‘won’ my own 3 points for speeding on the heads of the valleys road on the way back home. Bugger!
There again for the 2-2 that saw us back in the PL for the second time.
Cant be there tomorrow but hoping for a great game & 3 points for the boys,
UTT.

All time classic film.... thats Saturday nights viewing sorted... 'whats a yute'....
LUFC did us a favour @ Watford the day of our 2-2 draw with Cardiff did they not?
They did but "LUFC" are still a set of ****s
Biggest favour they did us was letting us take 6 points off them.
Watford had to win so Leeds winning made no difference in the end. If it had stayed 1-1we would have still gone up.
So Leeds did us a favour by not allowing Watford to beat them n'est ce pas?Biggest favour they did us was letting us take 6 points off them.

No, Watford needed to win, they let themselves down by not beating a team with nothing to play for. Leeds never gave doing us a favour a thought. And even if they had they would still be TWS and I would give them no credit.
I have been given 2 tickets for the Cardiff game as a birthday gift. E3, there’s one spare if anyone wants to go but there is just one slight problem you’ll have though, I’ll be sat next to you lol. Don’t worry I don’t bite, I’ve taken my pills so should be good until the next full moon lol. I’ll be going in the Clarendon for a cpl, then chippy next door as I walk to the ground… You will have to get your own beer and grub, I’m not that generous.
It was Dean Windass who scored the goal in 2007, yes. I saw it back recently and noticed that it was a rebound from a saved Steve McPhee shot. The first shot could easily have gone in and been the crucial goal which kept us up, but football is funny like that isn't it? So often it conspires to make the right person get the headline. It was so "right" that it was Windass, and then of course him again a year later.
Vinagre really is not robust enough for the English game, it's a pity as he clearly has pace and skill, but like Sinik and Allahyar just too fragile.
It’s odd because Liam was keen to only consider those who were sufficiently robust in the last window, I wonder if he thought he was worth the risk or if he sees him as a longer term project? Whichever, it has left him very short at left back. We had someone lined up too who impressed as a trialist (can’t remember his name ..was it Cox) too, so it was clearly planned to just go with Vinaigre and Greaves to cover (which then leaves us short for cover at centre back).
There’s also the link between those with blinding pace and hamstring injuries. I suspect the thing that makes them able to naturally run fast, also makes them susceptible to hamstrings. Michael Owen and Giggs were examples who had blinding pace when young, but were out injured a lot with hamstring injuries. They clearly worked on becoming more physically robust but also good enough to adapt their games to still be incredible,players, despite losing a little bit of pace.
