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!

I think it was probably printed before we made any signings.

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.

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:

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:

Does he work with them then, or do you just mean because of his commentary?


Title: 4-4-2 Magazine

Yeah, hes the commercial manager there I think.

Why did he and Banbury never defect to these pastures?  They were a good pair.

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 :?

Hanrahan was one of the founding members: http://thetownend.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=32

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!

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.

Put a fishing sub forum on here ,Banbury will come on here then and spend hours wittering to himself about Barbel :D

Good idea, you two can talk about fishing and stuff.

They are probably right, we are still about 5 players short of a decent size squad....and we arent going to get anymore players

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.

i think yeovil 9th is more alarming than the shitty.

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

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!

  I think Blackpoo will be alright.....Hendry had a struggle at the start last season, but turned it around, so he'll have learnt a lot from that.

  Don't think they'll be more than mid table though.

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!
