[Barney Rubble]

Puts on best scouse accent...

"Accrington Stanley - who are they?"

"Exactly"

 

[luckyeddie]

I can tell you drink your milk like Ian Rush does.

Now that one I don't get.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Now that one I don't get.

You're about a decade too young! Eddie was alluding to an advert by the Milk Marketing Board where a little kid with a scouse accent that was really dangerous to use indoors says,

"Ian Rush says that if I didn't drink lots of milk when i grow up I'll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley"

Which leads into the bit he quoted earlier.

Oh. I knew the phrase from its use on Soccer AM!

 

[luckyeddie]

Well, Accrington had certainly been drinking their milk.

A couple of decisions went their way at key times, but they were by far the better side on the night.

Like the centre back playing netball in the penalty box?

 

[luckyeddie]

Like the centre back playing netball in the penalty box?

Not a lot

Yes, that and the pretty awful tackle that led to the first booking (mind you, I'm only judging that by the current epidemic of redcarditis that's currently sweeping the African Cup of Nations and the Premiership).

 

[Neil Pickup]

19 shots to 8 we had... just none of them were any good, our final balls were dismal, crosses were wayward if they beat the first defender, midfield never won any second balls, defenders stood off and looked scared when they were ran at.

Sums it up, I feel.

Yup.

Accrington looked like they were - a team on an incredible run, brimful of confidence and in Gary Roberts had someone who gave Exeter's back four a pretty hard time. Excellent match to watch though, a great advert for the Conference.

P.S. Anyone got a decent manager going spare?

 

[PY]

Good result for my hometown Colchester at the weekend.

 

[luckyeddie]

Good result for my hometown Colchester at the weekend.

I agree.

It precipitated the departure of the most despised manager at Derby since Tommy Docherty - yes, worse than John Gregory.

Now if only the board of directors would follow suit...

 

[Craig]

Somebody who used to manage Portsmouth and got sacked by them recently?

Perrin doesn't qualify - firstly he said decent, and secondly he said manager.

 

[luckyeddie]

Jim Smith it is then (I wish).

 

[Barney Rubble]

Jim Smith it is then (I wish).

Wonder what he's up to these days. Wonder if the Fratton Park Employees' Bar has managed to refill its stock yet following his departure, actually.

 

[aussie]

looking foward to the Ma U, reds clash, hope we kill them..

 

[marc71178]

Fergie will need to buy a midfield in the next 20 minutes in that case...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bloody hell. 2-0 to The Irons. Both mistakes by big Sol by the sound of things. Think I'll be opening a vein very soon if we don't wake up.

 

[PY]

Massive errors from Campbell and Ferdinand in the space of 9 minutes....thank goodness for Terry and Carragher.
