Out of interest is there any specific reason you have chosen a football forum to ask these questions? Oh and which countries have you lived in and which did you like/hate the most? Just bored at work so feel free to ignore me if you find them intrusive.

Dougie Freeman at Bolton is surely next to go! Steve Lomas at Millwall as well and will get less patience with the fans due to his West Ham links.

And some peope seriously voted you the funniest poster on this board?

Micro machines.

Shame no-one took my £100 bet........

I'm sure this is the point when I'm meant to like this post! ;)

We'll agree to disagree but for me the amount of goals we have conceded this season so far is not all down to our "free flowing football". An element of blame has to be apportioned to the whole defensive unit.

Completely agree, however, it is plain to see that we are pretty weak at the back. Yet people are arguing that we are not. Whether Pressley can do anything about it is a totally different thing.

I'm lost! So on that basis we should weaken the defence even more because we were conceding goals anyway?

You are missing the point totally. No-one is bemoaning our attacking style but it would be nice to have some recognised centre backs actually playing at centre back in order to give us a bit of protection. Surely if we are playing this style and are clearly going to be vulnerable at the back...

There are only 4 teams that have conceded more goals in the league than us and they lie in 17th, 19th, 21st and 23rd. If we hadn't been deducted the 10 points we would be something like 8th. Based on this would you say we are somewhat fragile at the back?

Feel free to search back to the start of the season when most were pointing out our lack of centre backs. The goals have helped mask our defensive frailties but they have been blatantly there for all to see.

And this comes as a surprise? Blatantly obvious from the start of the season.

Only if we got a big team in the cup. :whistle:

Someone was telling me about Ross Barkley the other night. Said he'd been hammered with injuries over the last couple of years so is probably 2 years behind where he should be. No great surprise from those that know that now he is fit he is the player that he is. And TSBL don't listen to these...

I'll have a £100 bet with anyone on here that the predicted carnage does not happen?

Because on the whole every Geordie I have ever met has been a complete c**t, I have a strange affinity with Sunderland.

Ha ha I can remember going up there to watch my mates play and there was always loads of them on the line, swigging cans, all with their staffies at 10 in the morning. Too be fair most of us were also swigging cans so they kind of accepted us. :D

Agreed Nicholas. Now any chance of posting Skyblueprincesses e-mail address? :whistle:

Did Shrewsbury away and it was a good day on the piss. Too be honest the actual match is sometimes a distraction but I enjoyed the first half, although second half dragged a bit. Will do another few aways this season but will not be going anywhere near Sixfields for a variety of reasons. I...
