He is 22

Nowt to do with predjudices mate - just watched the game again on HD recording - Howson was a scared bunny. Deffo no leadership when we needed it. Young kid, overawed by the class he was playing against. And very lucky not to have been sent off. For the tackle on Fabregas ? Shouldn't have even been...

Howson MOTM?? What game were you watching??? :roflmao: Rabbit in the arsenal headlights is what he was - weak, insipid and ineffectual! Captain CRAP this eve. Never won a tackle and never played a pass to a Leeds player...except for BJ's goal Can you send me some of what you are smoking pls Gandy? ...

Schmeichel - 7 – Some excellent, if unconventional, saves which kept us in it. Kicking was good, but, is it me, or is he becoming a bit of a podge. Connolly – 6 – Very consistent over the season. Occasionally troubled defensively tonight but he links well with Snodgrass going forward. Parker – 4 – ...

There isn't a current offer. When BJ turned down our original offer, it was rescinded and BJ was placed on the transfer list. Knowing the intransigence of our Chairman, he is unlikely to reopen negotiations.

Certain people wanting Simon Morris to take over Leeds instead of Bates? :sing: Get fooked! Any Bramleyite will tell you what that scumbag did to the local eggball club when he took over .....he would have turned ER into another housing development scheme had his bid for Leeds been successful.

I'm amazed that SG has seen him at all. He's spent more time in Manchester Airport than Thorp Arch.

I've had one of those calls - his language was disgusting.

10 points: Peter Gabriel - So (totally great and contains my fave ever song Mercy Street). 09 points: Crowded House - Crowded House (so many pop gems). 08 points: Talk Talk - Colour of Spring (Montreal gig a highlight for me). 07 points: Neil Young - Freedom (album of which the grunge movement coul...

But as for best two albums in the grand scheme of things. eponymous Stone Roses and Pearl Jams Ten should win.

Ten was 1991 wasn't it ? - otherwise it would have been in my list.

ALBUM OF THE DECADE 1985-1989 POLL 1) MARILLION - Misplaced Childhood = 17 2) PETER GABRIEL - So = 16 3) U2 - The Joshua Tree = 10 3) REM - Life's Rich Pageant = 10 3) METALLICA - Master Of Puppets = 10 6) GUNS 'N' ROSES - Appetite For Destruction = 9 6) STONE ROSES - Stone Roses = 9 6) ROGER CHAPM...

Hmm ... a veritable curate's egg. Perhaps I could have done without Ian Dury, but it may be worth a listen to some of the other tracks.

Surprisingly hard. Covered most of my years at Uni and a big chunk of my musical heritage... 10. Richard Thompson - Across a Crowded Room 9. Marillion - Seasons' End 8.

I didn't have much of a shortlist - I only had Robbie Robertson, Appetite for Destruction and Springsteen's Live 1975-85 in the wings.

Didn't think I could get more depressed than being stuck in Whitley Bay, but after trawling through all that crap I am near suicidal. I have found a few gems though :) 10 - Misplaced Childhood - Marillion 9 - Chappo - Roger Chapman 8 - Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors - Fish 7 - So - Peter Gabriel 6...

Why, oh why have you started with the 80's. It's a musical wilderness. I have just checked my albums and I bought 15 in the 1985-1989 period - and I don't like half of those. Then I checked the top 100 albums for 1985, and I have 2 (and one of those was No. 99, although the other is a belter). No wo...
