While EDG wasn't directly responsible for any of the goals he doesn't completely inspire me. I know most of you think Cutler is a crap (putting it mildly MCF  but I don't think EDG is very far in front of him. Couldn't understand why TP played Asaba in midfield when we could have played a midfielder there. Speaking of Asaba I thought he was bone idle, not acceptable. Williams for all his faults, and there were many, had a go. Still not going to be too downheatred over one loss in 10. Time to start another run next week. --------------------------------------- Pint watch - £2.50 a pint in the Barrowboy and Banker London Bridge, £1.20 a pint in Wetherspoons Norwood. Can someone please settle an argument and explain just how W's do it? |

Agree about EDG. Not directly at fault for any goal but hardly awe-inspiring either. It's something that's been troubling me a lot lately. He is a great shot-stopper and, apparently, not much else.
The pint-watch thing...
I'm told that Weatherspoons buy beer just before its sell-by date and then shift it very quickly because of their popularity and prices. They can buy it cheaply and sell it cheaply as a result.

They could probably buy it cheap and still sell it expensive.
I rate Ed De Goey. and i don't think Cutler is a bad keeper though he's not as good as Ed de Goey!

Daft as it sounds, Wetherspoons can also knock a few more pence off the price of each drink purely because they don't have music in their pubs and therefore don't need a ludicrously expensive public entertainments licence.

I like Ed, a lot! I can't really remember him making a clanger on his own this season (the John Halls AND Ed mistake is one combined) and has kept us in quite a few games.
Certainly one of the best keepers we've had for a long time!

Super Stokie - EDG is a good shot stopper but so is Cutler.
Off the top of my head I can think of Cardiff's 1st goal up here where he punched a corner instead of catching it that led to Thorne's 1st goal. I can remember Sheff Utd's 1st goal that went under him - there may or may not have been more but I don't propose to kill myself trawling the old memory bank.
I'm not saying he's crap but I think you are a bit OTT in your appraisal of him.

Mmmmmm Super. Got to be honest, regardless of EDG's abilities I'd rather have Crossley back by a country mile. Its no contest in my opinion. Crossley (based on his form for us) is the best keeper we could have the remotest chance of getting to come here. I cling to the hope that JR's prediction of Crossley's return in the next 15 months is not too wide of the mark.

Fornside, as usual your right. I forgot about him when typing the last message about Ed.
He was a revelation and, like Taggart, got us out of the 5hit!

Beer Prices
I think you will find that the high street bars Weatherspoons, Yates etc are getting very heavy discounts for all beer including bottles - check the sell by date next time you drink there. Selling old stock is just a cover.
The price of beer at your local (if they are still in business) is forced up regularly (goes up in the next few days) to compensate the breweries for these discounts
Local pubs can't afford to discount so more of their younger customers migrate to the town centres at the week-end (and now mid week).
Town centres get wrecked and we all pay the price
High time these huge discounts were knocked in the head - and we would all benefit long term

Master, You've gotta be the only person I've ever heard to COMPLAIN about low beer prices  |

Post by TheWiseMaster on Feb 17, 2004 8:46:21 GMT
I'm not complaining
And I have drunk more than most!
What I am saying is that the price of beer in your local pub should not subsidise the price of beer in the town centres

but I don't think EDG is very far in front of him.
