Rage Online

My guess on Merry, is that he's just a Charlie Big Time, with limited wealth, who fanicies himself as the Chairman of a football club, preferably OUFC. If it were Merry alone, I think the worrying would be justified. I take comfort from the fact that he is obviously well connected to both Smith and ...

The current level of critism of Merry and Smith, generally speaking, I believe to be somewhat, unjust, unfair and unnecessary. Yes, it's right to question, However, we all know that, at present, even if desired, it may well be difficult to be as open as would be expected. Merry and ?, who may well b...

&quotbut we are better off under Nick than Firoz. Aren’t we?&quot ......... It's quite clear, based on postings here, from those who were very close to the Big K, that we aren't. Isn't it just great that now we are in free fall we can really lay in to the new regime, eh. Oh, it would have be...

If they did, it won't be quite like losing Andy Thomas.

Yeah, I agree with all of that KY. However, the success of the current formation relies almost entirely on the effectiveness of the wing backs. Last saturday Eddie and Johnson were truly woeful, didn't get forward at the right times, leaving the midfield too light, we get over run in the middle, hen...

&quothas to swallow his pride and bring in youngster Andrew Gunn ........ &quot

Why does he have to swallow his pride in relation to Andrew Gunn? Because he rightfully hasn't picked him, for the first team, yet?

&quotIsn't it about time Andy Burgess was dropped?&quot ..... Yes. We are over reliant on him and he is unreliable. Can't afford a luxury in a three man midfield.

Alternatively, a switch to 4-4-2 may well be the more favourable and beneficial solution.

&quotAnyway else feeling the same waning enthusiasm?&quot ........... NO !!

But go easy...step lightly...stay free

IÔÇÖve been wondering why the name of the painter Velazquez was generally spelled Velasquez in Britain up to the end of the 19th century, and frequently in the 20th.

What an introduction to football, Ginger. The first 30 minutes being the best football played by any team, anywhere, ever, never to be surpassed. ... Fact :D No doubt many of you will concur? Unfortunately, don't know my first game. Would have been in 71 or 72, I think. Surely it's the responsibilty...

&quotBrevett ...... and his crossing was generally poor.&quot ........... Ummmmm, sorry, am I missing something? Cross for goal and cross for Robinson's header?

Don't worry, the youngsters will have plenty of opportunities to play, in March and April, after we've won the league

&quotsquabble with me again&quot ....... NO, not at all. Normally, yes, but not on this :) His preference is not to use the younger members of the squad right now, if at all possible. Doesn't make the squad small. So far, Jim has, of course, been bang on in his decisions / judgement. A squad...

&quotYes the squad looks weak in depth. Jim's reluctance to chuck in the younger players make it even more so. Kennet, Gunn, Beechers and Weedon have come nowhere near getting on the park. That means are squad becomes very small..... What's your point, Dave. If you are suggesting these lads are ...
