I can't think of any words to describe just how awful we were tonight. Has to be on a par with Canvey Island.
862  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: OXFORD CITY LIVE ON BT SPORT on: November 09, 2020, 19:43:01 pm
We are making them look like Liverpool!
Horrible bouncy bobbly pitch, we can't cope with it and haven't put two passes together.
863  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: MK Dons at home 03/11/20 on: November 04, 2020, 22:28:41 pm
A game in which we nullified their strengths but failed to impose an attacking threat on their defense.

Some truth in that, because we sat back and let their centre backs and goalkeeper pass the ball amongst themselves for 70% of the game we struggled to get up the pitch into attacking areas often enough.
864  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Tim Oglethorpe - Love Him or Hate Him? on: November 04, 2020, 22:21:03 pm
I think Tim is basically a good 'un. Yes he gets names wrong, he struggles to describe playing kit (Claret with some White Flecking ?? Wot?) and his continual 'Cobblers Undone', 'Middle Third' and 'He had is Pocket picked'.
The trouble is iFollow shows up his mistakes even more and his co commentators are often too polite to correct him.
The only away commentary I've heard was at MK and it was shockingly amateurish and inept, talking about coffee and chocolate and with no idea who the Cobblers players were, at least Tim does his homework on the opposition.
Overall we are lucky to have him and people like Leon, Pete Walton, Steve Phillips and Smudger who add a bit of knowledge.
865  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: MK Dons at home 03/11/20 on: November 03, 2020, 21:27:40 pm
Ok then, how about we give the ball away far too often? A team two places below us in the league had nearly 70% possession and we were at home!

MK have had more possession of the ball than any other team in League 1 this season, but where are they in the league?

Not having Holmes and Watson on the pitch together was an elementary mistake!! Grin
866  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: MK Dons at home 03/11/20 on: November 03, 2020, 19:37:00 pm
Absolute classic 0-0 so far Sad
867  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: MK Dons at home 03/11/20 on: November 03, 2020, 19:35:09 pm
Does anyone else find Toggle-Tim’s continuous reference to MK as ‘The Dons’ and his comments that now AFC Wimbledon have a new ground....there is no real reason for animosity anymore.....ANNOYING?

YES... VERY!!
868  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Ricky Holmes on: November 03, 2020, 11:11:36 am
I wouldn't argue with any ones choice of best Ricky (or Cobblers) goal, it wasn't just the quality of the one at Stevenage it was because we came back from 2 nil down to win 3-2. In that instant I knew for certain that we had won the league.
869  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Ricky Holmes on: November 02, 2020, 21:24:44 pm
I still get choked up and come out in goose bumps thinking about that last minute winner at Stevenage.
Just one moment like that would make me so happy Smiley Cool That goal for me is right up there with John Frain in the 93rd!

They are actually taking the B526 that was once the A506 then the A50 but lost it's A status when the M1 was built, long before the village of Milton Keynes was sacrificed to the s***estorm that is now Toy Town. The nightmare experiments have resulted in perdition and a drug-induced vagary that has soured the region. In 2004 local cretins stole an association football side from South London and since then the zombie club has skulked in shame and derision. Hence their decision to skulk their way into Northamptonshire via back roads and out of sight of honourable folk.

Let's hope Tim O doesn't keep referring to 'The Dons', we played them on September 12th.
872  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Sol Campbell on: November 02, 2020, 15:55:26 pm
Was on a coach and remember we passed through the shopping area so not an exaggeration

I don't think the joke made it past your 'cloth' ears!!
873  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Wigan Athletic away 31/10/20 on: October 31, 2020, 20:15:07 pm
Enjoyed the first half, endured the second but at the end of the day it's a very welcome win. I think we showed some potential today and every player contributed.                                                                                                                                                                                 We had good movement form Rose, Hoskins and Watson, Sowerby grafted away and Harriman and Adams kept our shape. Nicky's crosses aren't landing at the moment but I'm they will soon. Smith was much more involved in the build play today but I wish he would attack crosses, he's rather static in the box.
The defence looked ok in the first half but came under more and more pressure when we sat back later in the game. I think I would have used Missilou as our first sub to break up Wigan's approach play.
Chuks looks quite a prospect and took his goal really well, Marshall is another good player to bring on, today he helped the team by getting hold of the ball and moving us up the pitch.
We made hard work of the second half by dropping off instead of pressing and closing Wigan down but still, a win is a win.

I won’t be asking anything in truth I don’t want answers
I firmly believe actions speak louder than words.
We as fans have had 10 years of words
I’m not anti KT and il be the first to congratulate him when the job is done.
That’s the time for backslapping.
Il then look forward to returning to the stadium to watch games again.

In fairness the lack of any shovels in the ground has saved me the best part of a grand going to matches which I’ve managed to spend on more tangible long term items which I suppose I should be thankful for.

I’m saving again this season and who knows how long for so things aren’t all bad  Wink

That's you sorted then! Wink
876  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Keith Curle appreciation thread on: October 28, 2020, 17:21:19 pm
Kelvin has stated that there are always enquiries for the club....
That’s kelvins words not mine.
Ask him...
Ask him why he hasn’t sold the club
Ask him if he is valuing the club at an unacceptable price or if the offers were two bob....
He’ll be able to tell you....

You could ask him if one of the enquiries went on to purchase another club and has a much bigger playing budget than us.....

No point asking me
Ask the man who has been quoted on record as saying “there are always enquiries”

So I hope that helps dispel the idea that there are no potential buyers out there.
Only kelvin knows why he is unwilling to sell the club and whether his valuation of the club is realistic or not and thus hampering the chances of a sale.

Or, you could... Ask Him! Yourself.
877  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Portsmouth away 27.10.20 on: October 28, 2020, 17:18:46 pm
A lot of opinion is divided between :-
    The 'Realists' who can see that we are not good enough, the season is over and we are already relegated.
    The 'Dreamers' who think KC is doing a decent job and things will improve.

Let's be fair here, those among us wearing claret tinted glasses always knew this season was only ever a fight against the drop but remain optimistic of staying up while there is still hope.

   So, all you doom mongering 'Realists', don't throw in the towel, we're not dead yet (FACT).
   'Dreamers' carry on with your happy clapping, always better to travel in hope than not at all.

UTC.

Shocking result but weirdly that's possibly the best we've played so far this season. If you don't take your chances...
879  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer 2020 Transfer Window on: October 26, 2020, 14:38:42 pm
No, Morton didn't have a known pre existing injury...

Think he had only played one game after longish injury.
880  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Portsmouth away 27.10.20 on: October 25, 2020, 17:56:10 pm
3-0

Bet you've got everything crossed!
You'd rather be proved right than see a Cobblers win Angry
