Carroll's cross for Swansea's late winner:

Townsend's goal:

 

Squawka will have a field day...

 

So sad that Townsend blew it at Spurs with consistency/attitude lapses.

 

Also the expenses incurred every single time he passed up an opportunity to play in a teammate only to punt the ball into the floodlights

 

Former Academy player Lee Angol was loaned from Peterbrough to Lincoln on Monday

He scored a hat trick against Braintree on Tuesday

 

Do you know if he Is eligible to play on Saturday?

 

I've always thought Wayne R had something about him too. He's a strange player he seems to now and again show some real World class touches, bursts of speed for about 6 minutes in a game but the rest of the time I spend thinking, where's that player gone. I always thought he was a better crosser of the ball than Lennon. I know that's not saying much.

 

We never seem to hear about these sorts of things nowadays (we often don't even hear what the bloody transfer fee is!) but it'd be nice to know if we had sell-on fee agreement for the likes of Carroll. Nice to see him getting a chance to regularly show his quality in the Prem.

Also a nice incentive to Winks. See Carroll? We sold him cos we thought you were a better long-term bet. So there's your target - be better than him!

 

The same Braintree that ex-Spur Lee Barnard plays for

 

Lee Barnard! There's a blast from the past. Wow. Remember the days when we were hoping that Lee Barnard might come good? Bit different nowadays.

 

He was the Kane 'prequel'...... - a young striker, proficient goal scorer loaned out to various lower league clubs with the hope that he would come through.
It didn't happen for a variety of reasons and you have to say he was unlucky at WHL: Untimely injuries when he was on the brink of breaking through - he was even one of the lads struck down in Lasagne-gate.
Had a few good years with Soton as I recall

 

Just in case anyone missed it, that bloke that really struggled to score in a Spurs shirt got one today:

 

Ex-Spur Callum Butcher featured today.

Let's just look past how Millwall were only 2-0 down when he came on...

 

If only luck had been so kind to him during his Spurs days.

 

Curious how he was ignored by team-mates?

(Also on Bill Nick thread)

 

Bad news for Ismael Azzaoui: not only has he missed a chunk of the season with a knee injury, but when asked about the player their new manager Andries Jonker says he has never even heard of him...which not only implies he didn't do his research before taking the job, but given Jonker's previous job was head of Arsenal's academy it doesn't say much about his knowledge of youth players does it?

 

Jamie O'hara joins 7th tier level Billericay Town.

Where did it all go wrong for him ?

 

He did not ask "How is Alan Hutton doing ??" often enough.
