As i'm on a day off: Beyond Belief - Elvis Costello (class)

I missed this earlier. Good thoughful post. I agree with where you're coming from.

Good to see it's 182 againest 42 in favour of the Believers thus far. Restores my faith in these boards a little bit.

I remember everybody was very happy when DOL signed the likes of Hughes, Bouma, Taylor, Phillips, Berger, Bakke (Loan) & Milner (Loan) a couple of years ago. Lots of players, but did it improve the team. Absolutely not, in fact we got worse. I believe everybody MON has brought in as 1st choice players so far (Carew, Petrov, Young & NRC) has improved the team & i don't see that changing.

Hi General, The Holte Hotel looks fantastic from the photos on the official site. One minor point though, are there any plans to remove the rather ugly (& very bent) metal railings on the footpath in front of the Hotel which spoil an otherwide magnificent view. Happy 4th of July.

I hope you're not suggesting that just because some of us don't spend all day & all night posting on this forum means we are all of a sudden coming out of the woodwork.

Jez_Villa can see into the future now. Aren't you forgeting he made a little bit of a contribution to their promotion season too. Or does the championship just not count anymore with some people?

Nope, Everton away. 4-4-2 with Petrov on the left & Gabby on the right. Petrov played in exactly the same role Berger played in towards the end of the season. Starting position on the left but drifting all over the place in front of the midfield two.

I actually think that's the role MON has earmarked for Petrov next season. He played in exactly that position away to Everton earlier last season with McCann & Osbourne in the middle & played excellently that day, getting great praise from MON after the game.

Don't be silly, just making the point that because a team was relegated dosen't always tell the whole story. I think Koumas would be a good signing to add to an already talanted bunch of midfield players & wingers. I'm not saying he should be a certain starter but i do think he would add something a little different to the squad.

Lucky Alex Ferguson didn't apply that rule when he signed Roy Keane then. As for me, i'd definitely take a chance with Koumas. Saw him several times last season & he was always a class above everyonce else on the pitch at that level. Thought he was excellent for the Welsh againest the Czech's at the weekend also.

Hilarious.

Are you Eamonn Dunphy in disguise? Any ememy of his is a friend of mine.

Bertie Aherne?

The summer transfer window officially opens tomorrow, june 1st. I confidently expect several new signings to be announceed by noon.
