  1. Ron Manager

    Tr-Nations/Bledisloe Cup decider

    Went to the Rugby at Suncorp Stadium last night - Wallabies vs All Blacks. Really good seats, practically on the try line and a great atmosphere in the stadium. Whilst I have not been converted to the egg shapped ball it was an experience being so close to top international Rugby and seeing...

    Leeds United Team Name Change

    Leeds women change name of club Link Is Ken is out to make more friends then, threatening them with legal action ?

    Why do we leave contract renewals till the end of the season.

    Cant work out if it due to the players choice as maybe they want to keep your options open? I cant believe that anyone at the club at say Christmas would have been any doubt we wanted to retain the G-Man. I cant help but feel we should really have tied him up before it got to this stage (As I...

  4. Don't let the door hit you on your way out Frank...

    The evidence is damning. Gerrard and Lampard will simply never perform together, and on the second half of wednesdays match and the first 20 minutes of tonight it's quite clear that Barry should retain his midfield spot. If Barry signs for Liverpool and himself and Gerrard get even closer, then...

  5. Playmaker

    The call for a decent centre half and poss a new keeper, yes, some also think there is also a need for another striker to go alongside Barnard. What i would like to see, is a playmaker in midfield,who puts his foot on the ball and plays to feet. Although Maher is now past his best,he did keep...

    OD week 12

    A toughie this week against a team claiming not to be camping but arguably just doing enough to retain top 4. Hoping he is resting a couple but inexperience is likely to go against me. I've beaten him before and he doesn't underestimate me. A win today would be massive, a narrow defeat for NRR...

    I am really fed up with all this rah rah - TBV stuff etc. and want to get back to sitting at Roots Hall slagging off our players and having a proper good moan and groan. I writing to Ron Martin and demanding we are given the front four rows of the east and west stand so we can really get...

    OD Final Week 14

    Not a great deal to play for really - away to bottom team so in theory this should be a stroll and I can look forward to a relegation play off. Have promoted my not out specialist to opener and opted to bat first in an attempt to overhaul #1 divisional bat slot. May well backfire but worth a...

    Is verbal abuse good for the players?

    Well, here you are, a player's perspective. And the verdict is unsurprising. Would you find being called a lazy tw*t or a useless c*nt inspirational? Will it help us to recruit and retain committed players? Read what Macca has to say...

    How should I improve my batting?

    You may or may not have noticed it but I need to improve my batting somewhat…. With the new season only a few weeks away, I need to start planning how I'm going to do it. As it stands I will be using 5 nets at the start of next season, 2 bat, 1 field & 1 stamina on Cunningham and a single...

  12. Tilson Out !!

    Glad to see a decent manager at the Hall - nothing like a close up on BOOT-it Boothroyd to show us how football should be played - BOOT-it and win the throw in and then scrap for the corner - class tactics from the man who shook the Prem-****e. And seriously when is Tilson going to learn how...

    Is a clearout the answer?

    I guess we can all come up with some justification as to why we should retain player A or get rid of player B. But is an end of season cull the right thing to do here? All professional players have something to offer. We have a decent young squad that should be easily able to hold it's own in...

    HT - Wage Bills and Income

    Mine's around 90K wages per week with Sponsors income of around 70K pw and Gate receipts of around 80K (i.e. 160K per home match). I'm trying to work out how players afford ETs and better in their teams. Do you have mega stadiums and manage to fill them to a decent percentage ? Or do you drop...

    If you were Guttridge....

    ...wouldn't you be a bit ****ed off? I thought Guttridge played well against Cardiff, enough to retain his place in the side However, Macca has walked straight back in the side after the ban. Tilly has always taken the approach that he sticks with players who earn their place in the side...

  16. Just got back....

    In one word, scrappy. Too many times we gave the ball away with sloppy passes or hopeful hoofs upfield. However when we managed to retain possesion we looked very capable of doing something with it. Great 2nd half display lots of grit and determination. I will leave a proper match report to the...

    Essex

    Good luck to Ronnie Irani and the boys this week against Leicestershire in their attempt to round off a good season. Disappointing that we lost v Durham yesterday on TV (hard to follow it what with the football being on as well) but thanks to Sussex's capitulation v Notts we managed to...

  18. Starting XI

    Unchanged Line-Up from Tuesday. Guttridge and Paynter retain their places in the squad, and Efe takes Coles place on the bench.

    HT Training Updates

    Good week for me 20yo CD to Brilliant 21 yo CD to Magnificent Ordinarily the 21 yo would be sold but I'm going to retain him to keep defence ratings as high as possible and sell him next pop. I have a choice of two outstandings I could replace him with.
