......bit confused, looking on the PV rivals site, it says they've sold Billy Paynter  to Hull...this seemed to have happened about a week ago.

 Can't say I noticed it, can anyone confirm?

 They've also got in Tugwell, who performed admirably last season, when the scum lost 8 in a row......and Clayton Fortune who the Shitheads regard as crap beyond redemption.

 Maybe a window of opportunity....if the game avoids postponement because of a frozen pitch.

Hull have taken Painter on loan until January 1st, when they will sign him permanently.

 Right......seems a bit of a donkey to me, certainly not in Fallon's class and they get 200K or something.

 The Trinny boy got injured too, so thye may be a bit short on players.

Tugwell ! What a wanker

My original surge of optimism has now foundered on remembering they got in Leon Constantine, as replacement presumably for Paynter.

 Constantine is very much an STFC specialist, but nobody else much.

 I still laugh at the thought of seeing him unmarked being a good 2m+, in our 6 yd box at Torquay, as if no-one knew he was there....a stunt replicated on Wed, to allow Old Pineapple 'Ed a free header.

 Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Frozen pitch is a possibility looking at the way the weather is at the moment...

 Apparently PV have similar problems to us with shading by a stand....but  I cant remember a game going for a frozen pitch in Nov.  of course doesn't mean that it can't.

It's these harsher winters because of global warming  :wink:

 Of course that is one model, whereby melting polar ice caps, drop cold water into the Gulf Stream, and reduce its warming effect, which keeps our islands warm....without it we'll end up like the Gulf of Bothnia.

the game against port vale 2 seasons ago i think got postponed due to frozen pitch.

Anyone actually called the club for their verdict on a frozen pitch .. id say its unlikely by 3pm tho

after having to de-ice my car at lunchtime today, i'm a little concerned about the prospect of a frozen pitch.

Yes it fucking did, which i wasnt happy about.  :evil:

i just de-iced my car but it is 2 in the morning, fooking freezing out there.

And i slid my car sideways avoiding a black cat  :shock:  :x

missed it though  :D

It was really cold up that way the night before last and noticed the M5 M6 northbound were full to bursting yesterday due to heavy traffic and roadworks (M6).

Which suggests you should leave early, but then that may mean you end-up getting there only to find out it is off.

Game is defo on.

just called them and they said the pitch is fine :beers:

Try harder next time please! :evil:

Almost 2 years on and I hope your opinions may have changed slightly since then Reg!

Christ Rich

You certainly dug this one up !

I just put Paynter into the TEF search engine is all. Thought a few more mentions of him would occur - I swear he featured in one of those "What about that Paynter at Port Vale/Hull/Southend, he's available" type threads

Its good fun digging up old posts......think we lost 1-0,  I hate playing Port Vale, although I do like Burslem....a mate used to live in the Potteries and he reckoned Burslem was the only place in England where you could buy a second hand flying saucer.  

  My new opinion of Billy I've just posted on his own thread...... a handful, but not a clinical finisher, which is my way of saying donkey, now he's our player.

That's okay then  :soapy tit wank:

Just checked and it was a 1-1 game.....it was of course season 05/06.....Hameur Bouazza scored for us.....the Trinny boy refered to was Chris Birchall, who played in the 06 WC...white man in Hammersmith Palais.

  He scored a late equaliser.

Confused the hell out of me when I started to read this thread.

 I can understand why.....its a bit scary reading back these old threads, it seems like so long ago, but is < 2 years.

Port Vale signed Ashley Westwood.

In our 00/01 away trip to Oxford, they misspelt Port Vale in the program as Pot Vale. It was funny at the time.

I was on a beach in florida at the time.

That'd be a reject from one of the potteries I suppose ?

Thought the site was buggered when I saw the dates...then I read the posts about de-icing cars and realised what was going on.

Really hope he's not a donkey!

    Donkeys though can be pretty useful at our level.....eg Steve Howard....Dean Windass...thee's a long and honourable tradition.

   Fallon was mentioned in comparison and he's the type.
