  1. Not managed to get going yet. Haven't got on the ball at all yet
  2. It makes you wonder about some of the refereeing decisions this season. How can that be given as a penalty to man city when we didnt get the penalty against brighton at home?!
  3. Weve just not been at the races tonight . I think it just shows where we are on our journey. Some games we are going to be outstanding and some, like tonight we are going to struggle.
  4. I think I'm on my own here reading the comments but I thought McGinn was playing ok. He grew into the game for me and was probably the only one of our midfield playing at an acceptable level

    Louie Barry

    I think we all know who is going to win January's goal of the month vote!
  6. Milner said that one of our lot hadn't played for 2 months, does anyone know who that was?
  7. I really hope at some point the holte end can show these lads their appreciation of how well they played when crowds are allowed back in
  8. I think they are doing brilliant. I'm sure had we some how bundled the ball into the back of the net a few minutes ago on that cross, liverpool could probably step it up a gear or two and regain the lead within a few minutes. It's clear though these lads are giving it all and they are doing themselves and us proud
  9. Why dont we get tight to the wide men. They always have an option out there and means they have plenty of time to pick out a cross
  10. Targett seems to be overloaded every attack. Mings and hause need to shuffle over to help him stop the cross. So far they are both picking up the same man and there is no need. We need to get either jack or el ghazi closer to davies to stop him being so isolated

    Thailand

    That tour has excellent reviews, and looks nice with the added extra bits like visiting the floating market! Its certainly something to consider and if we went for it we went just have to extend out our stay in Bangkok. The price is good to by the sounds of it at £90! Those photos look fantastic! its fair to say that's probably the sort of place we would like to stay. It looks quite easy to get to as well as it seems two different local airlines fly to Chumphon from Bangkok and you just get a boat from there?

    Thailand

    I need your thoughts & opinions guys. Me and the missus are going to head over to Thailand for our honeymoon next January. Our plan is at the moment; 2 nights in Bangkok - this is so we can see the city & see some of the buddha's etc 2 nights with the Elephants - not sure where is the best to go for this, but looking here there seems to be a few options? we'd like to do it somewhere its ethical and not hurting the elephants! (I'm sure we've all seen the tiger video on facebook recently), so if anyone has done this I'd love to hear your opinions! 7-10 nights of luxury relaxation in a quiet island somewhere that isn't too touristy, it seems very difficult to know where to pick though at the moment. We are more than open to other ideas on what to do or where! ideally we don't want to be constantly travelling for the two weeks as we would like at least 5 nights where we are settled and relaxing at the very end. Any recommendations for who to book it all with? As its the honeymoon (and our first time to a country not using 'our' alphabet) we don't want to be overly adventurous in the 'backpacking part' (i.e we don't want to do 5 hour bus journeys which includes buying our tickets while we are out there etc), we would rather have it all booked as a package type holiday before we traveled with all transfers sorted. I'm worried if we book with someone like Kuoni or Virgin etc we are almost adding an extra 30% in cost onto it! We have a decent sized budget for this but one of the reasons we've chosen Thailand is because its relatively cheap we might be able to afford in some slightly better places than usual.
  13. I suppose this is along the same lines as Wembley Merchandise, but how do you get a programme for the final? I'm sure in 2010 for the league cup I had to buy one online before the game and it got delivered to your home?
  14. Does anyone have any experiences with running an Amateur football club? I'm on a committee of a club and I've thought where better than to pick peoples brains than Villatalk?! My club is 97 years old and play at an alright standard at local level (Gloucestershire). We own our own pitch and club house and we have bills of £3,000 per year which is a bit of a pain! We've currently got 2 men's Saturday sides and one Vets side on a Sunday. How do you all manage to convince people to sponsor your club? We've not had a sponsor in years now and its something we are desperate for! I'm probably going to volunteer to see if I can help out on this aspect but it would be great to get ideas from people who have already done it!
  15. I have the Toffee one which is nice. I think I really need to do some reading up on nutrition, I'm doing weights 3 times a week (stronglifts 5x5), football training once a week (and a game once a week but i'm in goal so not sure how much that counts), as well as a swimming session every other week but I'm not losing any weight. Personally though I don't really think my diet is that bad but there has to be a reason I'm not losing this belly of mine!
  16. Anyone got any tips for the racing at cheltenham today? Im doing my usual new year tradition by braving the cold and going but i still know nothing about horse racing!
  17. Pocket seems ideal thanks guys I will give that a go!

    2015 Holiday Plans

    I've got a couple planned for next year after this year was so good. May - Berlin for 4 days with my football club for a 'Tour'. Never been to Germany but I've heard good things. June - Out to Valencia for a week to see friends September - Italy, most probably Rome again and then a couple of nights in Venice. I absolutely love Rome and my mrs have never been so I'm really looking forward to this one! October - Reykjavik for four nights where hopefully I might be able to catch the northern lights too. Only booked the first two so far but hope to get the next two done in the coming weeks.
