why do we persist with burrow - short and liable to get the odd head shot. He gets knocked out and we're a sub down!

Clever selection from devious tactician supreme Tony Smith.

Because when his mind is on the job and he's close to 100% fit he's an absolutely class act and can win games for us.

I've got a feeling this will be a special night for Ali. Hopefully coming back to peak fitness at just the right time in the season. We know he's capable of something special.

Some more wailing and gnashing of teeth here when Thackray was omitted from the Leeds squad for the Saints playoff game.

The Joker 9how apt) calling his omission a "shambles".

Pure comedy gold

Good old Damo... he's never lost it

At least I have always had a clue

Not always been Ryan's biggest supporter then?

If only you had known back then he'd go on to add two more winner's rings to his collection.

There's a certain irony when pulling up an ancient thread to highlight other poster's views on a member of the playing staff you highlight your own condemnation especially as you claim to be 'swimming against a tide of fekkwittedry.'

Touche

KAPOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













Oh the irony!! Not been a good week for Southstanders very own seaker of truth and justice!!

I could've easily left alone this thread but it highlights that I calls it as I sees it and I have no favourites.

"this year" being the key phrase. Bailey's form, like any other player, will vary.

I steadfastly supported Donald in 2006 but have been happy to offer reasoned criticism of him this year.

Compare and contrast with other posters who love certain players and let that cloud their appraisal and who "hate" others and do likewise.
