    The Giggs/Adams Effect

    So it is all about Giggs and the MU circus, according to the media. Well I'm a great fan of Jean-Paul Sartre, who memorably once said: 'In football everything is complicated by the presence of the other team'. OTBC

    Relegation Watch 2013/4

    I always start to look at the Football365 Run-in table at this time of the season. It has been very accurate for us over the past three seasons. On season-long form it has us finishing 12th; on recent form 10th, above both Villa and Hull. I tend to look at this rather than try to predict what...

    Norwich vs Hull: MATCH THREAD

    .....and, I imagine, on the training pitch as a mentor for our talented young wingers. I noticed a tweet from him, (yes I'm stalking him of course), quoting the pre-game team talk from that US football film; was it by Al Pacino? 'On Every Sunday' I think it was called. Dreadful film as I...

    Anyone Still Want Hughton To Stay?

    I'm surprised that nobody has taken up the earlier comment about our injured players. At the moment, we are without one of our only two creative midfielders, (Howson), our DM, (Tettey), who was in great form before his injury, our best CB, (Turner), Pilkington, who on his day can win a game...

    There´s Only One Chris Hughton!

    As J-P Sartre said,'In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposing team'. Cardiff came to defend en masse and steal an away point. They seemed to have 11 men behind the ball for much of the match, and Marshall, predictably played a blinder. I don't thing we did anything...

    How Long Do We Give Him Now?

    <ok> Agree.

    Another Day

    I'm still expecting the team to click; once Hughton has settled on his strongest 11, above all a midfield that can feed our front 1/2. The defence splitting pass from Fer and the beautifully timed run by Hooper was a great sign of what could be. I refuse to get downhearted, but hardly ever...

    The Times They Are A-Changin´

    I share your positivity RBF and C-D. There was a moment last night when the BBC update on the ROI/Sweden game read: 'Anthony Pilkington challenges Johan Elmander unfairly and gives away a free kick. Martin Olsson restarts play with the free kick'. Great stuff!

    Who has had the best window?

    'Once again, DM is a legend in preventing any of our first team being poached. Kind of relieved about Vaz Te, Becchio is better IMO, but he does need a run of games. A loan spell of 3 months would do him a world of good, after all he is a clinical goalscorer, who has been given little of no...

    It seems that Anelka's brother who was also his agent has died.

    Summer Transfers Mega-Thread

    If you compare who each account is following the most likely genuine account is the other one. Has pictures of him with wife and is following lots of other footballers. The one which tweeted the one with the NCFC crest follows mainly Turkish names; can't imagine Elmander is that settled and...

    It's a numbers game

    I think this is a really good idea but can't help it reminding me of my favourite exchange between a teenage boy and teenage girl in the movie 'Gregory's Girl'. Girl: "All boys are obsessed with numbers". Boy: "That's not true. Only 85% are". Good luck; I may dip in and out.
