    Good win Taff. Even against 10, every win counts. 3 points, 4th place. You'll be wanting our pos. soon. But we're gunna make you fight for it. Seriously, congrats and may we both see them in the prem. next year (sure, sure early days yet).
    BTW where in Oz?

    I don’t think that we are strong enough to last the pace unless we sign a couple of decent wing backs, and another striker.
    I would be great to play you here in the PL next season<cheers>

    Their son lives around an hour away from Perth.

    They went to the England T20 match yesterday<cheers>

    Don't underestimate your team's potential Taff. They wouldn't be better than 20 other teams at this stage if they weren't playing well. Sure, bring in some new lads to cover injuries, but your team looks like it's gelling well. Have some faith Taff. To paraphrase Kevin Costner, "If you support them, they will win".
    Also, your mate's son is about as far from me as you are from Reykjavik. Hope they enjoyed the win. Afghanistan put up a good fight, but England needs to get a lot better if they want to win this.
    The Kiwis and India looking good at the moment.

    I'm surprised it took them five. And what an innings by Kohli. Me thinks he loves Aussie pitches...
    and beating Pakistan!

    I'd forgotten we lost to Blackburn first up. I really thought we won that. Just goes to show how far we've come. Winning has become the expected norm. Long may that last.
    Oh, and Rovers, we owe you one. So watch out come February:emoticon-0170-ninja

    Some people seem to have a problem with Clives reports....personally feel we're lucky to have someone so invested in our club that he's willing to write reports, previews, interviews and all, sometimes for up to three matches in a week. Yeah, he can get a bit wordy at times, but rather that than some generic BBC reporter who gets goal scorers names wrong, misses vital bits of the action and lasts about three paragraphs. Maybe it's because I live afar and don't get to games anywhere near as much as I want to, but I look forward to Clives reports

    This.......

    The BBC report of the Wigan game said that Field scored with a header..... FFS.....

    Also the Irish version of the Sunday Times didn't even feature any comments about any Championship games, instead we got 4 pages of reports, analysis and opinion on The SW6 lot v Red Manchester lot.... FFS, who cares about that lot?... plus we are then enlightened by the thoughts of Rooney penned by a ghost writer.... who fecking cares what he thinks?

    Clive gets a :emoticon-0148-yes: from me........

    Totally, if someone can take the time and effort to write a lengthy script about my beloved hoops then everyone should read regardless of how "over the top" it may be perceived. Total fair play to Clive, if that's his name, for dedicating valuable time to writing this reports. This is also why our Forum is so popular, us Rs and other fan's appreciate taking time to write an opinion regardless of how it maybe perceived, cos everyone has a right to an opinion!

    Yep, fair enough.
    I have been critical on occasions, but I generally enjoy his reports more than I don’t.
    Just feel he sometimes gets a bit lost up his own split infinitive.

    Anyone else disappointed with the Wigan crowd?
    what more do we need to do to get a full house?

    Has to be down to the price of a ticket Stan. Real shame as the boys and the gaffer deserve a full house the way they're playing. Just too many people struggling atm unfortunately.
