Guest sav112 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 PILGRIMS' PATTER League cup 1st Round. Torquay A 0-2 Chadwick (13,59) Manager Robertson was proved right that resting some of the players was worth the risk. Nick Chadwick came in for the influential Taylor to score two great goals. Man of the match defender Aijofree showed his class and it will be a fight between him and Doumbe for that central position along side Acasiete. League. Sheff Utd. H 2-0 Buzsaky (11) Taylor (68) Great all-round performance with two goals and a clean sheet. Man of Match Acasiete with Doumbe looked solid at the back and Buz and Taylor hitting the net. Norwich A 2-2 Huges (4) Lasley (42) Halford (8) Chadwick (75) After being 2-0 down before the first ten minutes were out it looked bleak. Plymouth were torn apart with ease and that did not please Robertson one bit. Lasley gave the visitors hope before half time and after a “get out there and at them†half time talk Plymouth equalized with Chadwick to share the points. Barnes (Ply) was M.O.M Coventry H 4-4 Taylor (9,60) Scowcroft (10,75) Wotton (40,51) Mcsheffrey (13) Inaki (30) After going ahead on the 9th we lost the next three goals to go down 3-1 before we started a fight back. We ended up 4-3 up with Captain Wotton leading the way and showing what Plymouth are made of only to loose a slack goal on the 75th to take it to 4-4. Watford A 2-2 Henderson (46) Doumbe (30) Jones (86) Taylor (61) We looked like winning this till we lost that 86th minute. Our goalie Larrieu did not have the best of games it has to be said but Watford Sub and M.o.M Mcnamee dragged his team to level. But it was more two points lost by us. Derby A 2-3 Idiakez (36,61) Taylor (43,50,59) Hat trick hero Taylor rightly got M.o.M and it was his out standing performance that ruled the day. Manager Robertson was delighted with the team with this win taking them to 7th in the league. Additional News…. Xavi Jimenez was brought in for 400K to add an option to midfield.

Sy Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Sorry Guys Was Working Late last night and couldnt make it, ill be there monday though. Levante to live up to pre-season hype???? The appointment of Simon Del Ferretino as manager of Levante shook Spanish football to its core, not only did the fans riot at the thought of an unknown taking charge of Valencias Finest Team his first signing being a four and a half foot tall mutant frog had them reeling!! Froginho as he has been called only seems to be see-able to Mr Ferretino and has often been referred to as the "12 man" at Levante, mainly because Simon is told to take him off the team sheet before the game or face a LFP fine. Whether Froginho exists or not Levante are still playing some good football at the moment with only 2 defeats in the first 14 games, however the 6 draws are a slight cause for concern. Simons lack of apperance at the start of the season cost them bad with only 1 signing making it before the deadline, Evir Balic signed on and addded some strengh that the loss of Iain Harte to Aston Villa left on the left side. Former Celta Vigo keeper Cavallerro has been doing well but no real strike partnership upfront has formed and players will be brought in at the widow to address this, a lack of a good playmaker too is hampering the sides performance with minimal chances being created and even less being converted. so until the window opens and more exciting news happens at Levante its over to Froginho for the last word.....

stabwest Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Crystal Palace after the Wolves game which saw P.N.E lose 5 goals, last thing Orr needed was another heavy lost, after 60secs the most bizarre substitutions ever when McGuiness pulled off Watson and Reich to replace them with Riihilahti and Dominguez.this must of thrown Orrs plan up in the air cause from that moment onwards, there was only one team in it Palace. Dominguez well struck freekick just outside the D ,after Roncatto was tripped by Davidson. it was the 1st after 20mins, 17mins later a former fans fav John Macken sloted home after he recieved a cross ball from Soares. it was only a matter of time before Andy Johnson, got on the score sheet, and after 63mins he header home. the Lillywhites had a brief spell in the game on the 82nd min, when Matt Hill won the ball in defence , finding out Nowland who skilfully waltz passed the Palace midfield ,before passing to Hibbert, who played a one-two with Hill, before the ball was chipped into the 18 yard box for Agyemang to direct a header goal bound, but the last laugh fell to John Macken on the final min he score to make the score P.N.E1-4Palace Scorers Agyemang Bookings Davidson Mawene Lucketti O'Neil Anyinsah Nowland P.N.E Man of the Match Nowland Ipswich without a win in 3 Portman Road was the last place P.N.E wanted to be, but Ipswich where struggling just like P.N.E. after a tight 1st half which saw both keepers having to dig deep to keep there teams in the game. goals looked a must in the 2nd,but it took intill the 81st min before Agyemang scored a simple tap in,after Nugents shot was parried by Supple Scorers Agyemang Bookings Lucketti Etuhu P.N.E Man of the Match Nugent other results Crewe3-3 Sheff Wed2-3 Leicester the League form of P.N.E was showing signs of improving, but what happened when high flying Leicester came to Deepdale was a turn up for the books ,from the 1st min P.N.E played like gods, stringing passes to together, breaking down every Leicester attack,goals came from Mckenna(2),Agyemang in the 1st half to give P.N.E a commanding 3-0 lead.

Guest sav112 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 As the Manager settles in he has finally got to grips with this squad, players like Buzsaky, Lasley, Acasiete, Doumbe and Cpt Wotton are the first names on the team sheet. The balance is still not there up the wings but that will be addressed in time with the left wing being a problem at the moment. Quick round up of results Doncaster H 4-0 Stoke H 0-0 Brunley A 0-1 Brighton H 1-0 Leeds A 3-1 Wolves H 0-1 Crystal Palace A 3-2 With Plymouth taking the lead on the 20th minute with a Norris goal thing were looking good. Palace who should we championship contenders Score on the 32nd and 34th to take the lead into half-time. Palace score again on the 68th minute to go 3-1 before Plymouth fought back with an excellent Chadwick goal on the 81st. The Manager was delighted “Even if we lost today we showed we can compete in this league with the best in the league, we might not be promotion material yet but were certainly not relegation battlers†Gillingham A 3-1 Lge Cup 3rd Rnd. The game was taken into extra time but manager robertson had obviously not given the respect Gillgham deserved with a shadow team playing with him resting his top stars. Crewe H 3-1 Leicester A 0-2 Sheff-Wed A 2-1 Ipswich H 0-1 Luton H 1-1 Reading A 0-1 Southampton H 0-1 Next up Q.P.R P.S good to see Steve back, Italy needs more managers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stabwest Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 the fight continues Burnley with the fans calling for the head of Orr,after 3months in the job, Orr was left with the only option to him, slate his players in the press. Davie Orr is eyeing the January sales as Preston aim to continue their growing Championship charge, and with a few players leaving. "Certain players could be leaving, if they don't wanna play for me or Preston then there out, I won't stand for there petty attitudes, nor will i stand for any player telling me who i should pick or drop". with that in mind Preston brushed 4th place Burnley aside Agyemany got a hat-trick (5,55,63) the on loan David Jones scored as well as Graham Alexander with a 87th min pen Scorers Agyemang,3 Jones Alexander Bookings Jones P.N.E Man of the Match the team Hull City after the 5-0 win against Burnely, the traveling faithful wanted nothing but a win against Hull. and after the 1st 45mins they probaly thought this was gonna be another 5-0 win,Dave Nugent scored on 29th min, after a steady flux of Preston presure, Mawene double the lead just on the stroke of half team with a wonderful powerful strike, sadlly the 2nd half never lived up to the 1st, with Hull pulling one back on the 84th min through Dagnall Scorers Nugent Mawene P.N.E Man of the Match Mawene other scores Millwall0-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie\'s Lovechild Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 The Tower of Selhurst Simon Jordan. Flamboyant millionaire chairman of Crystal Palace, has been known to spring a few surprises, but when he announced that, after reviewing his teams performances last season, decided that Iain Dowie had failed in his task to keep the club in the Premiership, and was, quite frankly, too ugly to manage a top club anymore, it was expected that his replacement would be younger, prettier, and above all, cheaper. They got Stevie "Bod" McGuinness. 2 out of 3 aint bad. The press conferences were all very similar. Jordan fielded all the questions with "Its my decision, and thats it. If you dont like it, **** off and watch Wimbledon ... oh , wait you cant , ha ha". McGuinness sat impassively tapping away on his PDA sending emails to agents and commenting on the fans forum with his own opinions of what Jordan was saying. And so the season started with McGuinness doing a total clearout at Selhurst. Players In <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>Jose Manuel Dominguez - AM L - Free Tfr <LI>Evandro Roncatto - AM/F LC - £3m - Guarani <LI>Calum Davenport - D C - £925k - Tottenham <LI>Dion Dublin - D/S C - £5k - Leicester <LI>Benoit Costil - GK - £35k - Caen <LI>Jean Beausejour - S C - £75k - Servette FC <LI>Vanger Leonardelli - D C - £350k - CFA <LI>Michael Brown - M LC - £1.2M - Tottenham <LI>Doriva - DM C - £55k - Middlesboro <LI>Moises - S C - £20k - Hercules Players Out <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>Clinton Morrison - £1.3M - Wigan <LI>Glenn Wilson - £100k - Lincoln City <LI>Sam Togwell - £20k - Leyton Orient <LI>Danny Granville - £350k - Southampton <LI>Tony Popovic - £250k - Southampton <LI>Darren Ward - £200k - Leeds <LI>Tom Lyons - £250k - Watford <LI>Mark Hudson - £500k - Stoke <LI>Lewis Grabban - £50k - Bristol City <LI>Jamie Smith - £100k - Brighton <LI>Ryan Hall - £400k - Rotherham <LI>Michael Hughes - £250k - Notts Forest <LI>Wayne Andrews - £75k - Oldham <LI>Jon Macken - £1.5M - Middlesboro The sale of club captain Michael Hughes raised a few eyebrows, especially due to the small size of the fee. However McGuinness advised that he was asking for a massive increase on his existing £8k a week deal and the long term future of the club meant that they couldnt offer that to a 34yr old. The sale of Clinton Morrison was a little more strange, having just acquired him in the summer. McGuinness was accused of having no player loyalty, however the chairman announced that he made the decision as the club could not pay premiership wages this season. The hugely expensive acquisition of Evandro Roncatto, and untried 20yr old Brazilian, had eyebrows raised. McGuinness promised he was part of a 5 year plan and that the boy had potential to be the next Ronaldinho. So the season began, and Palace played like a team possessed. Tactically they were fantastic, passionate, strong in the tackle and cool on the ball. With Andy Johnson up front goals were always going to come. The surprise was the contribution of his backup, Macken , Freedman and Dion Dublin, who between them had contributed over 25 goals by Christmas. Johnson himself was on fire, 22 goals in 27 appearances before a bad injury put him on the shelf. However the arrival after new year of Jean Beausejour restored the fans faith in the bosses transfer policy. Signed for £75k from Servette, the young Chilean scorred 4 goals in his first 4 matches, including a fantastic hat trick for 10 man Palace against an excellent Hull City side, who couldnt believe they managed to lose. So , with the season now moving into February and the promotion race reaching it most important time, Palace find themselves 13 points clear after 3o matches, with nearest challengers Sheffield United struggling to keep pace. The fans are overjoyed with the clubs progress, and yet chairman Jordan continually throws a strop in the press over the clubs need to move players out before others can move in, but with Bosmans already secured for the Premiership, and sales in the pipeline for players that the boss feels cant cope with the Premiership if the club is to stay up next season.

Robertson “Right were is our head of coaching†Physio (yes her with the legs) “Sorry Boss he comes in everyday and stays till after breakfast at the club is served then heads off in his silver Audi Convertible†Back in the office Robertson “Right I want to hire you to find out were my Head coach is going every day, I don’t care what it costs just find out will you.†P.I “I’ll find out no problems and come back too you†Robertson “his phones is off and he’s keeping out my road when I’m at the training ground. But its cant go on the players are getting neglected and we still have nine first team players out†A few days later Private investigator “Your not going to believe this, Your head coach, your head man, well here take a look at the Video I made†Manager Robertson “This better be a good excuse†He inserts the Video and invites that new Female Physio in.
