But not in the Championship. Abel H has 2 in 2 in the championship, so I reckon he will have more than 3 goals to his name should he make 29 appearances this season.
On the positive side the Allams have not increased our debt load but have actually decreased it and we have a decent championship team.
Sometimes football surprises even me...... Just watching Sky, who would ever imagine a transfer from River Plate to Bournemouth
Had he not scored in the Cardiff game, we'd have lost 2-1 and dropped into the playoffs. Given our form at the time, it wouldn't have been very likely we'd have gone up.
Okay been at work and then gym so have just got in and catching up, first impressions were happy that Jelavic has gone, then quickly followed by who the fk is Diamonde !, but having watched the You tube footage (which always tends to show only the good bits) I have to say this lad might just be a steal, he looks to have very quick feet, has a trick or three, seems strong and dare i say it, not afraid to get stuck in with the centre backs, and a plus sign is that he tends to score all types of goals from tap ins to long range strikes and headers. Now we know he has been playing in the Norwegian leagues, but I for one am interested to see how he goes, kind of excited at what this lad can do but no doubt TWT. As has been mentioned probably the best bit of business is keeping hold of Diame, Dawson and Davies, and with a bit of luck Elmo will re focus. On a slightly sour note Thudd who was being talked up not too long ago about being in the England squad, has just had some realism injected into his life, that on his current form, no one is interested, perhaps this may kick his arse into gear. More then happy at the way it has panned out tbh, only missing link is a keeper, and that may be rectified with a loan in the not too distant future.
Why does everyone always say this? It's a load of bullshit. Watford lost, didn't matter what we did that day. Cardiff could have tonked is 50-0 if they wanted to wouldn't have made a spot of difference. And regardless, it's not like he really stepped up and played a blinder to confirm our promotion that day, he was ****ing ****e, scored from an air kick which luckily bounced up and went in off his arse then missed a penalty. Watfords academy goalkeeper did more for us than Proschwitz.
btw, here's a bit of trivia for you Bojack. When I saw your post, I thought you were onto some insider knowledge. "Hell" is an actual place in Norway, about 15 miles East of Trondheim (home of Rosenborg BK)- in Nord Trondelag. I've been through there (Hell) several times in the late 60's when I worked for a Norwegian Iron Mining Company (in their iron ore processing plant), which was about 40 miles North (as the crow flies) of Hell. Lovely part of the world. Stabaek is a suburb of Oslo. PS> So I've been to Hull & Hell, only thing missing now is the Happiness Forget Halifax.
