If anyone is interested and not blogged out! Any thoughts welcome, even bad ones http://www.shoot.co.uk/barnsley-blog/
Excellent piece, Allen Well done, mate. I didn't realise Shoot was still going. I used to get the magazine , along with one called Goal, when I was young (and everything in the world was sepia coloured!).
Re: Excellent piece, Allen Reading my blog is a bit like this: There's lots of words, loads of opinion, it looks like it's worth a read. But by the end you realise it was a bit of a non-event.
Re: Excellent piece, Allen Haha I should do shouldn't I? I used to waste hours messing around with them!
Re: Excellent piece, Allen Goal, was brilliant as was Charles Buchanan's Football Monthly...By the time Shoot appeared I was subscribing to Playboy....... ...despairingly awaits side-splitting jests combining, Shoot and Playboy...sigh.
Re: Excellent piece, Allen Good read that, mate. Think your views in the article pretty much sum up the majority's on here's as well.
Re: Excellent piece, Allen A bit harsh on Perkins,; in my view, until this season, he has been instrumental in us surviving in this league.
Shea went missing against Blackburn? You mean Shea who started on the left wing of a midfield 4, but got moved into the middle after 15 minutes as their trio of Lowe, Williamson & Cairney were bum raping Dawson & O'Brien to death? Without Shea moving across & stopping them playing (something Danny did that Flicker wouldn't have done in a billion years) we'd have been buried by half time. That aside it's not too bad. Your lack of references to loving or goats is a serious weakness though.
"Of the five players signed from the Premier League, Frimpong is surely the most high profile" which five players are you referring to here Al?
