Pants.

Its looking to me like Freedman has been unable to make any headway with our current shower. We may as well still have Coyle in charge with this bunch

Big, big changes needed in my opinion and I couldn't really care less about any of them staying or going. There isn't anyone, with the exception of maybe Holden (as long as he returns to his old form and signs a year extension on his deal), that I'd be gutted to lose.

Put 'em up for sale and start again. We're at least 2 seasons away from a Premiership push.

Just stick me in the nets...

The back four could have a day off.

They don't call me 'Vera the Cat' down our street for nowt.

Is that not because you sit in the window with your legs in the air licking your bits though?

You might have a fight on your hands there, V, 'cause Zat Knight's 50p Head is a 'keeper I believe.

And he's ex-military so I wouldn't argue with him.

Anybody else fancy joining us?

THC...

Do I know you?

We've all seen the pictures...

FOOK!!!

Draw is the worst possible result. We needed to make a Big Sam style exit in R3. I love the FA Cup but we're not going to get to Wembley under any circumstances this season. Not unless we get special dispensation to enter the Women's version.

I'm in! Bagsie up front like Brian Glover in Kes.

Vera- I've actually just put out a shout for a veteran goaie tomorrow morning, south mancs. Any takers?

goalie

Veteran???

How VERY dare you!!!

Calm down gramps and watch yer old ticker
, it's over 35's...

Yep. And I've playing experience in foreign leagues - well if you can include a 5-a-side league in the Falklands as foreign.

And I've played in the Bronx. That's hard, right?

Don't get all coy on me now, V.

Did that night we shared above the launderette mean so little to you......?

ZK, The Falklands ain't foreign. It's a home game, as you of all people should well know.....

We won the World Cup there in '82 against Maradonna's lot, didn't we....?

And yes, Fin, The Bronx is hard but I live in Little Hulton so I could take 'em all !

I shed tears to this day, Tache...

Oh sorry to hear that.

Is that thing still stuck up there? Painful.

Negotiation path in my near future...

Skyfall vs. Hobbit

Skyfall vs. Les Mis

Skyfall vs. lets just go for a pint instead

Heineken

So I can't use that then? I played in Iraq against a crack team of Iraqi cleaners and Egyptian manual labourers but that was up front as the ground was too stony for diving.

As for the Falklands again, I did my best for Argentinian/British diplomacy by telling some Argentinian lads that I'd been and it wasn't worth bothering with. I didn't notice how they took that as I was very drunk at the time.

so where was everyone today?crowd of 12204 with the away end sold out.sorry its a disgrace totally unacceptable that 8000 or so bolton fans could not be bothered today.

No excuses from me benny, I just didn't particularly want to go, so I didn't go.

Other than the big clubs everyone's attendences suffer this time of year, everyone is skint after xmas!

It would have cost me 18 quid to go to the game including travel, I'm just not motivated to go to an FA Cup game, even though I love the FA Cup. I'm not using cost as an excuse, and I suspect most of the missing fans could afford a ticket.

We beat Liverpool at Anfield in the cup when McGinlay and Walker scored on a Tuesday night and took 8000.

The following Saturday we played Plymouth at Burnden and the same 8000 turned up. The crowd was about 8015.

That's our natural level.

Don't sweat it.

Leeds only had 10,000 turn up at Elland Road
