Hi All, i know there are no spaces atm but can you let me know if anythin crops up.
Regards Whiteheadb a.k.a. El Dios

Arghhhh is that you El Dios from the old Furios Leauge? Where have you been? Where did you disappear to? Do you remember me? Fan, Afro, Almighty and Azzy are here from the old days.

What you up to.? Do you still watch Football? Birmingham City are getting bummed. Nice to see you back mate stick around here we may have a vacancy soon.

P.S Ill never forget you giving me auto losses against manager less Leeds in the Gio league.

El Dios...professional scouts all over the world whisper that name in hushed tones. It is said he is the only man with the knowledge to best world football's oracle, the UncleFan.

Great to hear from you mate, stick around!

Have you guys downloaded 12 days of Christmas on your apple devices? Today's gift is pretty good, football game where you reenact goals from the past.

We could always fire the manager with the worst win/loss record this season?

Tooze, 5 games, 5 defeats.
GSC, 5 games, 4 defeats and 1 draw (which I remember was only a draw against me, he won but didn't vote so lost a goal )

Do GSC and Tooze actually write tactics?

Nottingham Forest appoint Alex McLeish as their new manager #NFFC

McLeish must like the midlands - just cant get rid of him lol

Nar in all honesty I think he'll do a decent/good job - one thing is for certain they will keep more than 2 clean sheets in the 2nd half of the season.
And if he can get a player like Marlon King or "Paul Montgomery" recommended player - like he did to West Ham about Drogba - but they wouldn't fork out the £3.5mil to bag him - and he ended up at Marseille for about the same and we know the next 10 years quite well.

Forest wanted someone with proven Premier League experience.

McLeish has that.

So glad that 'experience' is in getting decent teams to play terrible football

At least it wasn't ****ing Roy Keane.

I don't think many people have experience of nobbing Roy Keane...

Any of you guys heard of Jacob Mulenga? Plays in the Eredivise (spelling)

Apparantly we are after him, but would be a weird signing considering he'll be at the African Cup of Nations with Zambia...

I have met him. When I went to Utrecht with Walsall Reserves last season. Was coming back injured when I was there and was playing in the reserves - but looked a good physical player - similar ability to Lukaku. but isn't as fit aparently never has been

Sign him up, El Dios has christened him the 'new, new Drogba'

Never seen him play, to my mind just a kid with potential.

Well he's 28 so isn't exactly a kid

Everyone's a kid to me, poor choice of words perhaps

was going to say he ent young lol - IMO he will never make it big in any league - good player for a team like Reading or Southampton etc but never going to set the world on fire. Nice bloke though always smiling

I would doubt it comes off, seems to be the usual twitter frenzy off one article from a Zambian website. Doesn't seem to be the greatest source ever...

Any one going to any games tomorrow?

I'll be at Carra Rd for Nodge vs Citeh buh

Come on City!!!

They'll win. When we play them it's the only time I genuinely fear we could get smashed seeming as we did twice last season

Yeah but Lambert isn't in charge anymore. You beat Utd and Utd > Citeh so you have a chance.

Oh of course we have a chance and you never know, but we generally struggle against the little skillful Tevez/Aguero types which they have in abundance. We can handle one, but not 3/4!

Bassong will eat them!

Olly - what do you think of the Rumours of Butland and/or C.Davies going to carrow road - Butland 8mil (also southampton and liverpool - reportedly intrested); C.Davies - 4 to 5mil depends on where you read up.

Would either of them players be welcomed or you think its a step backwards

He'll spoon them. Then Turner will come in and demolish.

On a more serious note Tettey vs Yaya in the midfield is gonna be a heck of a battle

Butland - Absolutely no way we are going to go for him. Even if we did we don't have the money, and he would choose another club over us as we are pretty set at the GK position anyways (Ruddy, Bunn, Rudd and Steer)
Davies - Was linked heavily in the summer and I thought he was a shoe in to come but never come to fruition. Don't think he would be a bad signing, but can't see him splitting up the Turner/Bassong partnership. If we get him in I would expect Barnett to leave and I don't think we would pay £4-5 million for him

AFC Bournemouth v Crawley Town

Got my Jim Beam and Coke in a 1.25l coke bottle and turkey sandwiches ready for my first coach to an away game in ages, my Hip Flask filled with Morgan's Spiced Rum for the game and a load of abuse for Lewis "Money" Grabban and likely sub Matt Tubbs!

Yaya will destroy him, Tettey would not stand a chance even if he had an army with him.

Personally I don't believe any of them.
The only players I can see leaving us are Chris Burke, Marlon King and maybe Redmond if we are truely skint.
But thats what happens in a relegation dogfight

El Dios I presume you are a Brum fan? If so what are your thoughts on Hughton?

Bull Mr Tettey has held his own against everyone so far this season so I see no reason why he cant hold his own against a Yaya who isnt the player he was last season

Marky were you at the darts yesterday? Someone was holding up a sign reading "Crawley needs a KFC".

I've heard Butland is all but gone unless your financial situation improves sharpish with Liverpool the destination

The Special Juan wrote:Marky were you at the darts yesterday? Someone was holding up a sign reading "Crawley needs a KFC".

Wasn't me.

Butland won't go Liverpool - if he wants to Improve he needs to go somewhere where in a year or so he will be playing regularly and I don't think he will go for less than £10mil.
Redmond is more likely to leave IMO - as he has stopped playing week in week out.
But tbh we should sell both - if we could get £15-£20mil for the 2 then sell away. we can't keep them in we go into administration.

On Hughton - good manager - unlucky to lose his job at Newcastle. Did very well with us in the League - considering he didn't get the funds he would have liked - and was very unlucky that we didn't get through to the knock-out rounds and earn an extra few £mil etc.
And if it wasn't for C.Doyle - making a few mistakes + abit of bad luck and West Ham being a very good side. We could have got promoted - and IMO i was expecting mid-table with the likes of Foster, Dann, Johnson, Bowyer, Ferguson, Jerome, McFadden, Ridgewell(half-way through)
and all the others we had to let go etc - we had next to no 1st team squad and he did very well and IMO is a much better manager than Lambert - although lambert does unearth a few gems.
Hope he relegated the Vile though.

I'm off to watch the mighty Macc v Barrow in the FA Cup 2nd round replay, the game has already been postponed 3 times and tomorrow is potentially off as well!

Birmingham are broke so 6m will do the job.

Also he aint worth that.

The 3rd round is next weekend! Who do the winners face?

Cardiff away so its a fairly decent kitty for the winner

Marky is the 5 a side tournament happening?

Thanks Nando xxx how was your Christmas?

Didn't get the Nexus tablet but other then that it was great.

Viva, they're coming for you...
