http://www.thisiscroydontoday.co.uk/Crawley-Town-fan-s-4-match-ban-abuse-Crystal/story-19582993-detail/story.html#axzz2aRDTsR1v Confirms everything I always thought about the bloke. Can't see why people see him as some sort of media darling/national managerial treasure.
-
I have also met him (back in his MCFC days) and can confirm that he was also surpringly warm. Bizarre.
-
Only happened 10 years ago. And they call us historians.
-
Probably been mentioned further back (sorry can't be bothered to check) but he kicked up enough of a stink to get out of Genk in the first place, why should we be surprised?
-
They can mock us when we start signing players from Barnet and Mansfield.
-
Marlon King available on a free because they can't afford his wages. The best Midlands soap opera since Crossroads continues.
-
He bangs on about these intense standards he expects from his players, yet refers to their achievement of 8 points from 7 games as a 'miracle'. Hmmm
-
The problem Di Canio has is that he is well out of his depth managerially. He took a very large league two team in Swindon Town and got them promoted by outspending everyone else (to the point that they were hit with a transfer embargo). Not saying he doesn't have the potential to be a decent manager but his record is no different from people like John Sheridan, Keith Hill and Garry Waddock. Would they get a premier league manager's job? Compare his credentials with Lambert who took a League One team, got them in the premier league and then kept them up.

Lawro Sorrow & Gobby Savage - How Wrong Can You Be?
Pongotastic replied to villa-revolution's topic in Villa Talk
Best pundit. Unquestionably Gary Neville. Worst. Garth Crooks. Honourable mentions for Savage, Shearer and Lawrenson though -

Will West Bromwich Albion be relegated in 2013-14?
Pongotastic replied to Marka Ragnos's topic in Other Football
The baggies are like an X Factor contestant. Humble, small town team with a dream, but as soon as they have a moment in the spotlight they give it the biggun. The fame will disappear as quickly as it arrived too. -

Pongotastic replied to Marka Ragnos's topic in Other Football
Yes, my experience of Baggies fans is that they're desperate to be noticed. They don't like being inconsequential and insignificant. Yes, they have finished above us two seasons running, but as our transition moves on apace, I can't see them doing it next season. -
I think this thread proves one thing: we will never ever be able to stop laughing at Small Heath. Whenever they do something good they always follow it up with something sh*t. They win their first cup in god knows how long and get relegated. And we always know that however low we stoop they will always stoop that bit lower. Witness 5-0 defeats against Barnsley
-
I think this season has been a success. It was always going to be tricky as we were going through something of a transition. Hopefully over the summer we can shift some dead wood, keep hold of Benteke and sign a couple of more experienced defenders, a centre back and a left back. I would expect us to finish above Everton next season!

I will be supporting Watford for no other reason than that Holloway is a Grade A tosser.
-
It's symptomatic of a big club like ours that fans are not just going to be from Birmingham but also the overspill areas, especially when you consider the surrounding area isn't exactly a football hot bed. It's not really an insult and besides, there are no shortage of Blues fans from Solihull, Redditch etc.

I think (and hope) they will. Aside from Blues they are one of the other teams I can't stand. -
I'm sure Dave Whelan will use Wigan's impending relegation to remind us all (once more) about the broken leg he once suffered in an FA Cup final.
-
I refuse to get stressed out by it. It's a game after all. Yes, there will be some insane ribbing from Blues fans but I've learnt that there are many more important things.
-
In other news, they're oozing with excitement on SHA at the potential signing of ....... Gabriel Zakuani.
-
I would keep it straight forward and funny. Start planning immediately and ask people for suggested gags. Use the internet as a template BUT do not use any jokes from there. They're old hat and have been seen and heard many a time, particularly by wedding regulars. A killer first line always sets the scene nicely. Maybe something topical. I went to a wedding at the weekend and the opener really got the crowd going (though a bit contoversial).# 'I've been really nervous about this speech. I've been sweating like a Coronation Street script editor'.

After years and years of 'shall I shan't I?' I am finally saying 'sod it' and getting sky. I'm a new customer and ridiculously un-knowledgeable about what's out there, how the packages are made up etc. Anyway, I am after getting all of the sports and maybe some of the movies (this being a gesture to my missus who is worried (with some justification) that I will spend all my time glued to the TV). Does anyone know the best way to go about it. Cable/dish etc. Don't think I'm in an area that Virgin media cover. Thanks

These seem to be the only two scenarios which would relegate us. Yet staggeringly Villa are only 33/1 to go down. If you were to put a tenner on us going down it would be much wiser to put a fiver each on those two scenarios

Says it all that when Chelsea won the European cup Terry couldn't get his kit on quick enough and had no shame in lifting the trophy shuffling past all of his team mates who had come through half of the match against Barca when he got sent off and the Munich game.
