Debs

Not all teams are like that which explains why there is one team I have no time for at all. No names, no pack drill but easy to guess which one.

Looking like it may be a famous night for Bradford.
They have just equalised to make it 1-1 (2-4 on aggregate).
Can they hold on for 35 mins???

Well, they've done it.

As a Huddersfield fan I've had some extremely negative feelings towards "Sadford" over the years (particularly after a nasty experience on the way home from Valley Parade some years ago), but I wish them well and am pleased they are going to Wembley.

:D

Best result since Roy of the Rovers. Good luck to them at Wembley.

There is a village not far from us called Steeple Aston and, right in the middle is a cottage called "Aston Villa". Well, it amused me anyway !

Have you been to Aston Clinton .... perhaps they have a house called Bill ?

Ironically Craig Forsyth, Bradford's leading goal scorer so I understand(?), came back to Watford following his loan spell in time to play against Huddersfield but to miss out on the Final :x

I remember the days when Bradford, Leeds and Barnsley were in the same league as Man United, would love to see them come back up. Do not want Chelsea to win tonight - so come on Swansea !

I have just read that 'Uddersfield have sacked Grayson. The trouble is that could have a backlash for us playing them on Saturday.

I wonder if Grayson will end up back at Blackpool?

Would I get banned for abusing another member?

I wonder if 'Uddersfield will go for Nigel Adkins. I hope they get a good manager and turn the corner. (We've played them twice and hopefully they will pick up points off the chasing pack!! Come on 'Uddersfield (after Saturday). :lol:

Not if it's me 8-)

The Udds would do well to chose Nigel Adkins, he could certainly lift their confidence levels.

I'm hoping he might come to Huddersfield, though we would have to sack Grayson first, he almost came once before but then we got Lee Clark.
Towny.

Possibly Grayson will fall on his sword after 12 league games without a win...but somehow I doubt it! ;)
Well I did suggest that we ought to consider sacking Grayson, now let's hope that the other part of my prediction comes true. :D

Well, Mr Hoyle (our chairman) doesn't hang about does he?

A really nice bloke who is a Town fan through and through, but has the necessary ruthless streak.

I thought that Grayson would be given another 2 games, given that the transfer window is soon to close and there will be no time (and no budget anecdotally) to get in a new manager's players.

I expected him to go if we didn't show improvement in terms of performance in the cup game on Saturday and Palace in the league at home next Weds.

Adkins has the smart money on him...but I've even heard Megson's name mentioned! :shock:

Oh dear, not Gary Megson - puurrrlease. Absolutely hopeless and if he is who you end up with then your Chairman hasn't a clue.

Don't worry about Forest having McLeish Moby - he's doing no great shakes at the moment - we want Billy Davies lol.

Megson? Nooooooo! Surely Mr Hoyle is more astute than that. I'd be very underwhelmed by that appointment. I suppose we will just have to wait and see.

Megson is just a name I heard mentioned on the radio tonight.

I wouldn't be happy if he was employed.

Adkins for me.

Thanks Lulu, our lot have been training in Spain this week so are raring to go and we need the points plus goal difference to keep the preasure on those Foxes.

Fingers are crossed however that Kenny Jackett, ex Watford, holds up the possible transfer to Forest of Darius Henderson, ex Watford, til Monday.

Perhaps the Udds could go for Northampton's Aidy Boothryd cos he's also ex Watford :lol:

Aidy Boothroyd is a distinct possibility, he also has links to the club having played for us in the late 80's.

I think I'm right in saying he still lives locally - but I may be mixing him up with Neil Redfearn?

I've heard a rumour that Leicester have had us watched over the last few games in preparation for tomorrow's Cup game. As we've not been playing very well I understand they are planning to send a weakened side......

.... the U12's Girls team have been told to get their kit ready! :o
