The game at upton park today was fantastic. It had everything seven goals, two pens, two sending offs and both sets of supporters where great. In the end I thought west ham deserved the win they where slightly better in the second half.
 
Apparently at Bradford there was a Zumba fitness class as part of the 1/2 time break and I missed it cause I was taking a ****.

Gutted :'(

I learnt about why you shouldn't go for ***** in football stadiums the hard way- Midway through my number 2, I realised there was no toilet paper :(

Got that game taped on and really looking forward to watching it. Was a corker by the sounds of it

Last time I went for a shiz at a game was against Rochdale in 1998, when I was mascot!

Don't be forced to turn it off by the pretty average first half. The second half is when it really livens up ;). Oh yeah if you see a teenager wearing a bright orange shirt in the bobby moore stand whilst watching the game it might just be me ;) :).
 
Still not overly happy, our defence is looking alright now, but our strike force is a bit of a joke. O'Flynn and Bauza ( who I like the look of a lot) are still injured, and Nardiello managed to get himself sent off for gobbing off, a whole 5 minutes after the 'goal', and he's been looking about as sharp as a beach ball when he's been playing in any case. So I'm guessing it's Logan and Vine up front on Tuesday, with an 18 year old Nicholls on the Bench. We are in a relegation scrap this season, no doubt about it, most of the teams we've played so far are in the play-off positions admittedly, so we might not be as bad as I think we are, but it's the argyle game that worried me the most, we were playing a pretty much full team against the team at the bottom of League 2, and we were completely outclassed for the majority of the second half. Hopefully Tisdale can pull out a few loan players and turn it around but judging by the previous acquisitions up front (Bignall, Haber and Fleetwood) I'm not confident.

Didn't fleetwood do well in his first spell?

Its what I've been warning for a long time now. In previous years, your strikers have had great service from Ryan Harley. The main reason why Cureton scored over 20 goals last season, was not only because of his ability but the service he got from players like Ryan Harley was fantastic. Harley was the one player, I would of loved to take away from Exeter [and there were rumours, if we stayed in the championship, we would of] and its a shame he won't get a crack at Swansea. Nardiello- Again, last year, serviced from Harley. This year, your midfield looked absent tbf. Archibald-Henville is no Ryan Harley in CM, and really, you're looking at David Noble- He looked average when we played [but still your best player bar pidgley imo] and I'm not sure whether he can create some form of service.

This will be a test of Tisdale's management abilities, he's not been relegated before, so you have to hope you don't lose the one real assest your club has been blessed with for the past 5 seasons- Your manager.

What ya do?

Quick dash across to the next toilet cubicle thingy :P

First time around he was alright, It was a two month spell and he scored 2 or 3 I think, second time around though we had him for the full season, and he was useless, ran about a bit but couldn't do a lot, and picked up a nasty habit of missing penalties too.

I'd agree with most of that, never been a real fan of Noble, seems to do a few stepovers then pass the ball either twenty yards backwards, or to the nearest opposition player. The nearest replacement we've got to Harley will be Bauza when he gets fit, he's looked awesome in the few games he's played so far. Troy's usually a centre back, but often gets told to play in the hole between the defenders and midfielders which I think he does quite well, gives him a bit more license to move around the field a bit, which he seems to be fairly good at. Nardiello's just not suiting our play at the moment, If a ball doesnt come within about 6 inches of his foot he'll just have a paddy. He's lazy, and also a complete and utter ****. This weekend was the first time I've ever heard tis get angry in a press conference, if we can get somone half decent in on loan, then I can see Nardiello going out.

I seen the thread on ExeWeb about Nardiello looking lazy, and it seemed to be a needless red card. Maybe his 3 match suspension will give him time to think about his play, and could be a blessing in disguise- He's not a bad player in truth. It did look as though Nards goal did cross the line [from what I seen on the FL Show anyway] but why didn't he ******* lash it instead of going for a lazy tap in?
