Mooney scored again for Norwich.
I pleased for him. He's on loan to them. When he was on loan at Stockport last month, some fans didn't think much of him. And that loan was cut short aswell.Quote:

^ yeah I don't know what going on at Oldham, Sheridan was doing well, he had an iffy March but overall I think he'd gone a great job. There were reports of some fighting at team night out and he might have been involved so maybe its more down to that rather than the results.
Cardiff 2-1 Watford:(.......another injury time penalty conceded.....2 in 2 matches, 3 precious points thrown away:(
Yes, nothing worse than conceding late goals. Does a fan's head in. Remember Ireland in Israel.
Mick's Wolves well beaten by 10 man Birmingham last night. Horrendous tackle by Carsley saw him sent off - not sure it was intentional but looked awful in slow motion. Wolves looked quite ordinary at times with their top front players missing. No great impression made by any of the Irish on show. Alas, I don't think Andy Keogh is going to make the grade.
Agree with all said Birdy.....though I am convinced Carsley meant to "do him" (although obviously not seriously).....dreadful challenge!:mad:Quote:

Nice to see Mick Mc defending Carsley:
"I have to say I know Lee and I don't think for one minute he'd try to do that," McCarthy told BBC.

So assuming Soton and Charlton (2 Premiership sides only a short time ago) visit the first Division, who will be the other side? Delia's Norwich? Must be rubbish if they lost at home last game to Wednesday or Forest?
If Barnsley get 3 points from their 2 games in hand (admittedley tough tonight at the "Best" Sheffield team tonight) they should be OK....I will go for Norwich to survive as they are 10 goals better off than ForestQuote:

ANother last minute equaliser conceded. Sorry for your troubles, Horny. Still, I think Watford are safe. It's Soton's parent company which has gone in to admin so doubt if there will be a points deduction.Quote:

Just cracked open the champagne!:)
Ah, Luton Town. 25 years ago were in the top flight. Who will ever forget that wally, David Pleat in the beige suit, skipping across the playing pitch at Maine Road when they avoided relegation on the last day at the expense of City:Quote:

Well done to Wolves. Worried that Reading have really stumbled recently. Need to regain their form for the play offs.
19 Plymouth 44 7 5 10 30 33 6 6 10 13 22 -12 50

24 Charlton 43 5 7 9 27 34 2 7 13 19 35 -23 35
Charlton gone. Saints look set to follow them. Barnsley perhaps the other one. Delia is sweating in to her muffins at the moment.
In the past ten years, afaik, all those five were in the Premiership. Pretty big drop for them.
True, but only Forest can be classified as a big club from among them. The rest flattered to deceive to be in the Premiership.
Among the flatterers in the Premiership at the moment are Wigan, 'Boro, Fulham, Hull and Stoke.
Ya Forest would definitely be the ones that look to be underachieving from that list. I've a buddy in Derby and they get some support as well, slightly above that list but thought they deserved a mention. Norwich weren't far off winning it though in 92/93 and who'll ever forget Jeremy Goss in Munich...as well as giving the Kop something to remember!!!Quote:

Was going to post about Jim Magilton being sacked by Ipswich but now I hear Keane has been appointed manager. Ipswich are under performers and I expect them to do well if money is coming in. Wonder how he'll get on with the new executive chairman as well. Simon Clegg, the former chief executive of the British Olympic Association, has been named as the new chief executive of Ipswich Town. The 49-year-old oversaw Team GB's record-breaking medals haul in Beijing after 12 years in charge. Clegg, a former Paratrooper officer, was invited to take the job by Ipswich majority shareholder Marcus Evans.
And it's also farewell to Ninian Park which is being demolished. The pope visited there in the 1980s I think.
forest classified as a big club .. why because of old past historyQuote:

Presume he means fan base as much as history. I would have always considered Forest a big club, rightly or wrongly.Quote:

Championship team of the Year (only one Irishman :():
Keiren Westwood (Coventry), Kyle Naughton (Sheff Utd), Roger Johnson (Cardiff), Richard Stearman (Wolves), Daniel Fox (Coventry), Michael Kightly (Wolves), Stephen Hunt (Reading), Joe Ledley (Cardiff), Jordi Gomez (Swansea, on loan from RCD Espanyol), Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (Wolves), Jason Scotland (Swansea).
Ooops. missed Kieran Westwood, the goalkeeper :o
So it's the Blunts, the Clarets, Reading and Preston (Cardiff had been in the driving seat but lost to Wednesday in front of 30k at Hillsboro). Not sure which of Burnley or Reading I'd like to see get through - Burnley with Owen Coyle as manager and Reading with the Irish players.
How the "mighty" have fallen at the other end though with Soton, Norwich and Charlton all relegated.
Really surprised by the huge dip in form by Reading in 2009 when they looked odds on for automatic promotion at the end of 2008. Coppell has now resigned I believe.
Burnley, with a small squad and despite numerous games, have deservedly got to the play-off final and good luck to Owen Coyle. He's done a great job so far.
Hopefully Burnley can do it. I think they would compete well in the PL. Turf Moor could be a difficult place to go and I would definitley prefer to see them there than the yo-yo blunts (that was just for your benefit owls fan!!)
Thank you :D Actually Wednesday used to be called the yo-yo club when dinosaurs ruled the earth (actually the 1950s). The Owls also scored 8 goals against Burnley in the league this season so hopefully they'll tighten up against the Blunts.Quote:

These days much prefer now to waste my money on away trips to watch Eire(much better craic) but also then means i've little money for anything else.
Sure I'll buy you a pint to console you in the airport before Sofia:D:D
Cracking goal for Burnley there. It was such a calm finish, a bit like Carrick's in the Wigan match a few weeks back.
As a West Ham fan, all I can say is "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, "Quote:

I bet he won't be singing in the middle of the pitch with a microphone like a muppet either!!
Yes they do get what they deserve & when Zola heads of to chelsea & you lot have no money to buy players cause you will have paid all your transfer kitty money to Sheff Utd & you have to sell all those youngsters & end up relegated can I be the first to say to you "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ":rolleyes:Quote:

If that is the case, fine because our owners will have screwed up the club etc a la Newcastle and we will have to live with that
I have been through relegation as a fan loads of times and is isn't nice - and I would hate to be a blade this evening - but equally Mr McCabe and the others have corrupted the way sport should work
Gutted for Sheffield United.
Nice to see Newcastle down in the Championship. Should guarantee some good gates all round.
Yeah right Beaky!;)................guaranteed 6 points for your boys isn't it?Quote:

Prior to last season's 6 points, last double over Sheffield United was 91 years ago. What is the liklihood of it happening again next season? 91/1 perhaps?
Other than Leicester, not much strength coming up from the 1st Division (Scunthorpe and Peterboro).
Brendan Rodgers has become manager of Reading:(

Just as things were beginning to look slightly better at Vicarage Road.......God knows who we'll get now:eek:
Staunton has been mentioned
