Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: STFCere on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:02:16 442 have always had a record of getting things very wrong, theres no way we'll go down! top 10 i reckon, dont forget king hasnt used his loan signings yet!
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:11:18 I think it was probably printed before we made any signings.
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: fatbury on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:15:54 No they mention Thorpe and Cureton ..
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Sussex on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:16:28 Just what I was going to say Sonic.
You've got to take into account the printing time and distribution etc.. The article was probably written when everyone had fucked off and we'd have struggled to put 11 players out.

Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: adje on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:49:00 i thought they predicted us eighth in the tables on the inside back cover!!!!!
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: fatbury on Friday, July 29, 2005, 12:52:11 Yes the one on the inside back cover is the makers of Football Manager 2006 ... and their prediction DOES see us 8th :mrgreen:
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Spud on Friday, July 29, 2005, 13:29:34 Well hopefully we'll finish in the top 10 and i'll write into them at the end of the season and politley tell them to shove their prediction where the sun dont shine!. :evil:

Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Piemonte on Friday, July 29, 2005, 13:52:46 I blame Mark Hanrahan :angry:
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, July 29, 2005, 13:53:48 Does he work with them then, or do you just mean because of his commentary?
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Piemonte on Friday, July 29, 2005, 13:54:48 Yeah, hes the commercial manager there I think.
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, July 29, 2005, 13:55:49 Didn't know that. Shall we over-run thisis and demand answers?

They were a good pair.
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Piemonte on Friday, July 29, 2005, 14:07:49 They were indeed. We should encourage them to join after giving MH a load of shit for the 4-4-2 predictions :?

Excellent! Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: reeves4england on Friday, July 29, 2005, 15:20:57 I think at the end of the season we should (assuming we finish in the top half) ALL write in to 4-4-2 and DEMAND answers!
And tell them to stick their tacky, overpriced shite-tactic-for-a-name magazine where Alex Ferguson's arse doesn't shine! Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Tails on Friday, July 29, 2005, 15:29:33 Seems accurate to me.

Not sure, I tried to get Mark to post here cos I liked his top 5's but I think his kid is a bit older now so doesn't have as much time. As for Banbury? Fuck knows. Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: yeo on Friday, July 29, 2005, 19:34:10 Put a fishing sub forum on here ,Banbury will come on here then and spend hours wittering to himself about Barbel :D
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, July 29, 2005, 19:36:01 Good idea, you two can talk about fishing and stuff.
You can fish in World of Warcraft 8) Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: DiV on Friday, July 29, 2005, 22:46:45 They are probably right, we are still about 5 players short of a decent size squad....and we arent going to get anymore players
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Bedford Red on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 08:05:16 Got "When Saturday Comes" through the post this morning.
This is how they predict the league will finish this season. 1) Tranmere Rovers 2) Nottingham Forest 3) Bristol City 4) Huddersfield Town 5) Hartlepool United 6) Gillingham 7) Doncaster Rovers 8) Brentford 9) Yeovil Town 10) Bournemouth 11) Bradford City 12) Barnsley 13) Blackpool 14) Oldham Athletic 15) Swindon Town 16) Rotherham United 17) Walsall 18) Port Vale 19) Colchester United 20) Swansea City 21) Southend United 22) Scunthorpe United 23) Chesterfield 24) Franchise. They again think it's because of the small squad etc. Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Asher on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 08:08:33 City - 3rd your having a giraffe!!!
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Bennett on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 09:33:07 i think yeovil 9th is more alarming than the shitty.
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Whits on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 10:14:06 i also think Franchise will be one to watch this season, old wilson did a good job at the end of last season and they were pretty hard to beat
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: adje on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 10:30:13 Did anyone notice that Swansea's "most like to get rid of" was Mr Gurney-how I laughed!
Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 10:45:04 I think MkDonalds could be in for a mid-table finish this year after City-reject Wilson turned things around last year.
My God how City need him back! Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: Spud on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 11:09:32 Blackpool are ahead of us, now thats a joke!. :x

Don't think they'll be more than mid table though. Title: 4-4-2 Magazine Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, July 30, 2005, 11:18:52 They don't have the players to do too well.
They have a diving cunt in Keighan Parker who won them no end of penalties last year, and he's an alright player too, but they have swapped Richie "oops got stuck up my own arse" Wellens for Scott Vernon who I don't rate highly, and last year signed some 10ft Croatian who has done fuck all for them so far! We will probably get 2 points off them though! WE ALWAYS DO! |
