On this kind of form, I expect us to have the league wrapped up by Christmas.

Prozac or what??

TB quote from todays P&J

"I am pleased with the progress we are making, we are not spraying the ball about and dominating teams by beating them by seven or eight goals, you don?t do that in pre-season against teams like Elgin that work hard"

Shouldn't we be scoring 7 or 8? ,we are losing goals to crap teams!.

Mr Butcher isn't it amazing how much better things look when you add a bit of spin or is it the red wine !

You don't do that to teams like Elgin as it would demoralise them before their season falls apart.

LOL!!

Would love to see that team play in that formation... lol

I think we really need Eagle, we need width, someone who can whip the ball into the strikers with accuracy.. Get that happening and even Barrowman might start to look good.

Guessing. Eagle left, Imrie right and Foran as a striker with Barrowman or Rooney.

Seemingly Eagle played left back at times for Norwich reserves so thats another string to his bow. With what has been said about reduced squad size and utility players.

I have been really impressed by Eagles so far. Ok, it might be some really crappy teams we have played but he has been one of the best players so far in pre-season.

Been reading up on him on the Norwich forums. Remember we are talking about a youngster here.

He was tipped by many at Norwich, others felt he was lightweight and lacked pace.

Some posters loved him, pointing out his amazing first touch and pin point crossing.

All said his attitude was excellent and that he had been working really hard , to beef up, and this might well pay off for him in the long run.

Lets hope we sign him. I think he has enough for us.. and whats more he has a left foot!!

Graham

Stratford was waived by D.C. United on August 15th, 2008.

Any player who has played for D.C. United surely has to be worth a look, they are I'm told the most successful club in the US.

According to the main site article, Danny Sanchez is Spanish, only reference I can find to a Spanish Danny Sanchez is a young defender who plays in Liverpool reserves?? Was a Spanish under 17 international. Cannot be him surely??

Perhaps Sanchez is a common Spanish surname, like Smith.. lol

Its a friendly, so why not. Butcher is keen to see Rooney now he's fit to play..

Second Bellamy, he was on top form that night... looked world class.

I know it's only a utube video but Melvin Holwijn looks a bit special. What level are these teams at ??

PMSL, came out of the match and heres this gold bmw (M5) trying to reverse out between parked cars, what a complete mess the driver was making of the manouvere.

My Father in Law and myself, both shouted spontaniously, "Nice car son, learn to drive"

Oophs, didn't realise it was Rooney!! :P

I will be attending with my 8 yr old daughter...

AC/DC "Whole Lotta Rosie" in my pants :P

ATB "9PM Till I Come" in my pants. :P

Its nice to be linked with english players

instead of players we all know from Ross county, Dunfermline ect.

Butcher obviously rates him, as he signed him for Brentford.

I just don't get this Hastings plays in all these Internationals and seems to do well. Yet he is no longer a first choice defender for ICT.

Why?? and are the ICT management wrong in their rating of him?

The courier today says he has left.. sob!

Wouldn't we signed his brother because he wouldn't sign a new contact unless we did.. be a worse reason, not that this is based in fact, just speculative at the moment..

P&J today has Butcher saying that he is sure Foran and Zadi will stay.

A lot will depend on the quality of the trialists and if we can hold on to Foran.

My chain of thought on this is... Mid field we have McB, Dunc, Etc, we keep DI in the Mid I dont think over all we have a problem up front now if foran stays too then thats sorted.. , Rossco in to the middle as we have the back line filled now and take Linol in to mid also.... jobs a good one... we have a team.. just need some fall backs.....

One more thought, the board said in that interview they were holding off some offers to wait and see who we can pick up... sounds to me like they are expecting a fall out in the SPL with clubs sheding players, We can just sweep in and pick them up for free... or reduced prices...

It sounds a bit mercenary, but for several reasons, there are many benefits in our being relegated the same season as the Stanta collapse. Ill wind etc.

Aye and with Livingstone in the mess they are in, that increases our promotion chances slightly.
