  1. ahem - there are tickets in the home end from £15
  2. If / when he adds a scoring touch to his game it will be hard for us to keep hold of him. He does the things that top clubs like in the modern game in that he tracks back without fail
  3. Absolutely spot on. The fact that he tweeted about his pass for Hourihane makes me think that he is starting to realise it is a fault and one he accepts. As for AH on Pens I sit behind goal half way up Lower Holte - shall I take a hard hat just in case
  4. To be fair in return as a song that was hijakced it was shit but to those of us who remember belting it out for 45 mins at Goodison back in the 80s it's still a good song when sung slowly by us all, as most chants would be IF we actually sang them in time. Too often our chants get rushed and end up as nothing but noise
  5. Just about to set off and I think it'll be same stsrting line up with Hourihane given the Bacuna free role from Sat, I think he will like it too as up to now he seems to be a little bit too occupied stopping in midfield which isn't what he as doing for Barnsley and hence what we bought him for
  6. Just go with 4132 as opposed to the 451 we have tried. On paper it looks 433 but it wasn't. Hour I have is capable of playing wider and it should bring Thor into it a little. Would give Hogan much needed support
  7. Goal ratio of shots on target to goals against at the moment is bloody scary Barnsley 3 from 4. Ipswich 1 from 1 and Newcastle the bloody same tonight.... Come on lads let's surprise even ourselves with an actual comeback
  8. Hmm will I be able to stomach the 2nd half or will the missus win out and we will watch the last instalment of The Halcyon???
  9. Whilst scary from the outside I do wonder if they are looking at different aspects. The playing side wage bill will be the vast majority but if you take in everyone employed by AVFC then the numbers would look a little better. Where The Doc refers to us as "1 firm" it infers to me he will look at total bills.
  10. All dayers in Locarno because we weren't old enough to go Wigan or Torch.
  11. Caught about 15 mins of the beeb red button coverage and two things stick in my mind: A goal went in and the at ground pundit said: "It was a good kick. With his left foot." and that was it Then at HT in the Huddersfield ,v Citeh match Dion came out with the astounding piece of punditry: "Huddersfield will think they are still in this". IT WAS GOALLESS OF COURSE THEY WOULD YOU MUPPET
  12. Not really @BOF to me it says they are more likely to lose at home and given that the presure we as fans are putting onour players at VP I actually think we could get something up there in Scotland
  13. Sorry but on this I have to disagree. Penalty was at what is called 'the perfect height for keepers' and he was nowhere near it 2nd goal - he went down in stages 3rd goal - again too slow to react That save from the free kick was unnecessary as his hand/arm were well above the bar and he should know that His throws were good I'll give him that and he should do it more often. His kicking is atrocious, though to be fair he could be deadeye accurate and the lack of aerail presence would mean we lose it anyway.
  14. I'd go with this BOF, last night we were fine until that shocking decision to gift them a lead. We didn't deserve to be behind at HT and I thought 4231 was showing igns of being a decent formation - even if I personally wouldn't have chosen it - then we went 442 and lost our way. Another team came and took their chances, whilst in the last two games we've had 44 'attempts' and scored only one. Before Xmas we weren't creating and were conceding so things have moved on ...
  15. You're not out with him tonight instead of coming with us are ya
  16. So today I am the manager and I'm selecting Bunn Elphick Chester Baker Bacuna Thor Lansbury Hourihane Amavi Hogan Kodjia Subs: Loanee / Hutton / Taylor / Grealish / RHM / Green / Adomah Without Bree and Jedi I think it's pretty much as good to push for a win as we have and also shows that this squad is better than it is perfroming and without doubt questions need to be raised about that should it continue. Calderwood ..... I'm looking firmly in your direction
  17. We have got a spare ticket for the Lower Holte if anyone wants it, drop me a message on here, or twitter @Allan_LV
  18. With no Jedi I think it'll be 352 again so I'd like to see same as Saturday with Amavi in for Taylor. If we constantly make changes we wil not get anywhere and the players will not have a clue. If it isn't working we can take off a CB and stick Jack on for a little more creativity. Should we want to stick a 442 in then, and only then, would I pick Taylor who looked like a player asked to play a comepletely new game on Saturday. And without Lansbury holding as he is too slow to turn and is easily beaten one on one, hence the numer of times he gets booked or gives away free kicks pulling the opposition player back
  19. Am taking wife out tonight as it's cheaper anyway and will be down with Aston, might see you there as I think it will be our lowest crowd of season so far
  20. Same here Rob, I like that they are bucking the whole draft system too.
  21. Good luck Henri you will need it. We have a history of buying decent midfielders with good scoring records and they simply stop - Thompson, Curcic, Draper to name just three. Also the noise you hear when misplacing a pass of any sort is just the norm at VP, get used to it.
  22. The rule used to be eldest male heir so if you had a daughter then a son they jumped the queue and their heirs move in turn (Anne was once 2nd until Andrew popped out and is now 12th). You also couldn't take the crown if you had married a Roman Catholic. So although Charles was always in line for the job he almost cocked it up marrying old horse face but in fact she isn't her ex was..... google is your friend THe catholic thing only came in 2015!
  23. Just think that when Liz or Phil goes t'other will go quickly. Then Charles will crack under pressure. If you must know I do like them.
