rarely agree with you, even though we're both ex-Pinehurst, but on this occassion, I totally agree, it must have something to do with we were both brought up to respect others and would never sh1t on our own door step. CA had no loyalty for us or his fellow team members, he was a rotten apple in a team of disharmony with a weak manager. I'm too mature to boo him, but he certainly won't get any applause from me,
I'm sorry certain posters think we should welcome him back as the prodigical son, not for me, he plays for another team and we owe him nothing and certainly should not be welcomed back as a legend or one of us.
A repeat of the '69 semi-final decider at west brom would be great, maybe an omen to go further in this cup.

Have to agree with you 100% about Peter Eastoe. Probably our best forward after Sir Don.
But Don Rogers was just so much better and is unlikely to be replaced as the very best Town striker ever.
Even allowing for the fact that Mondeaux is a bit of a dick, he is wrong about Mayes!!

By the way, is this the same London Red who said (December 2010) that Charlie Austin must be worth £2.5m if Simon Cox fetched £1.9m?
He may have been a brick layer, but would he have been a grave digger like Ernie Hunt and Mick Summerbee. Don't think so, got too big for his boots I'm afraid.

So its Burnley at home in the next round of the League Cup.
Higher opposition again, but nothing the team can't handle. Being at home, it's one we should fancy to win.
Lets hope so. I feel a v good run developing in this competion.

Still, we are not playing their fans are we.
Our boys will definately be up for this match and PdC will be looking for another higher league scalp to put in the dug-out, next to Bristol C, Exeter, Huddersfield, Colchester, Wigan, Brighton and Stoke.
I see Bostock has rejoined us.About time too. Welcome back John.

Bit unfair IMO as the 3 you have mentioned were different type of players, Mayes at 5ft nothing you wouldn't expect him to have the heading ability of the others.
All four were great strikers, Alan was helped greatly by Andy Rowland and Charlie by Paynter, but in and around the box IMO they were on a par, rarely missed the target.
It is a decent draw with local interest but my worry is that Austin is targetted instead of the crowd getting behind the team.

Still, evokes memories of our famous semi-final win over Burnley in 1969 when they were flying high at the top of League 1 (the real League 1). Beat them 3-2 at Turf Moor with a cracker from Peter Noble I think (but was just a little kid). Games like that were the real greatest games in our history - Stoke was awesome, but not up there with beating the best in English football when they were really trying with their first eleven picked and playing in front of packed houses.
