PREMIER LEAGUE NIGHT 12 LIVERPOOL: No wind to worry Gez tonight as he sailed through his 3 games to win the night and take a maximum 5 points that establishes him firmly in 3rd place in the table. Remember that the top 4 of the 8 players will be the ones to contest finals night. Gez was in fine...

Agreed. But they're much more likely to be a problem for us than Cardiff were especially with the money behind them and ambitious owners driving them hard behind the scenes. I think they want Premier League football asap. And an even bigger problem will be Birmingham City who seem to have even...

I definitely think that one smart player move would be to sign LOB if we can afford him. If we can't then I reckon we should try and get him on another loan - season long if possible. He seems to like it here and is enjoying his football especially under Sheehan. He'll have put down temporary...

Looking at the table with 2 games left, if Cardiff lose one of them then they're down unless Derby lose both their games by catastrophic scores. Think I've got that right but please correct me if I haven't. :unsure:

Convenience

This will be a real test of our players' character. Millwall want the points; we have nothing to play for. So, how much do our lot want to win a game of football just for the sake of it? I think they'll want to continue the good run and Sheehan definitely will. But this is a difficult game...

Melvin Sylvester, English football referee who sent himself off after punching a player. 'Quotes of the Year' 1998: I was sorely provoked.

Didn't want to start a new thread to post this so I'm gate-crashing this one :). It is slightly relevant though and it concerns Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United who've just won promotion to the Premier League. Seems his reward could well be the SACK! I've read a lot about this in the...

Rick Holden, English footballer in 1995: In all fairness, the referee had a complete cerebral failure. Nothing changes then.

I've got a smidgeon of sympathy for Cardiff, just a smidgeon mind you, but it must hurt to drop 2 points to a strike like this when you're in the throes of a desperate relegation battle. Oxford's only effort on target and a true worldie from 35 yards. FF to 1:05 to save time.

Karen Brady speaking as managing director of Birmingham City in 1994: Footballers are only interested in drinking, clothes and the size of their willies.

Good interview; very articulate and to the point. We earned those 3 points attacking hard to get the goals, and there could have been more, then defending resolutely to keep what we had. Well done, lads, thoroughly deserved. Some stats: POSSESSION: 55-45 SHOTS: 6-10 OT: 2-2 BLOCKED: 3-2 SAVES...

Phew! We had to dig in to get the win but the lads really did well and got their deserved 3 points. Cardiff didn't get the win they craved whilst close rivals were winning their games. This relegation battle is going to go to the wire. Meantime, Wrexham moved into second place in League One 2...

Should have used subs earlier. QPR now with a head of steam after Tymon showed his shortcomings in defence by terrible positioning. We'll see how much character our lads have got now. Be a shame to throw 3 points away after being the better side for most of the game. We must hope that gaps will...

Typical end of season game with both teams having nothing to play for. But Swans do deserve to be in front with Cullen either scoring or, more likely, forcing the defender into an OG following a very good cross from Tymon. Is this the Harrison Ashby who was on loan from Toon to us a while back...

Francis Lee, famous footballer speaking as chairman of Manchester City following the dismissal of legendary Alan Ball as manager in 1996: My brother always said that you'd have to be mad to be a football manager. What other job is there where your livelihood depends on 11 daft lads?
