Absolutley f***ng brilliant - I can't wait for the start of the season -

Every year, I think "this could be our year" - this year it JUST might be

COME ON YOU REDS

Couldn't have said it better myself. Bravo

Did McRae really call Holdsworth the best overseas signing in SL history?

I think he meant Salfords best overseas signing

Your year meaning Champions?

article in the daily mirror today on the general dont know how to do the link thingy ma jig tho

Nope - just our year competing well, not fighting to avoid bottom two spots and maybe a decent cup run would do me nicely. To make the play-offs would be icing on the cake

Champions? No I'll expect that the season after

In that case I think it could be your year too

but the year after you'll have to settle for losing finalists

no thanks bud...have seen us lose a few finals (and semi-finals come to think of it)

Surely they should've done an above, looking down camera angle to minimize Shaun's chins?

I can't believe they never asked him if he knew why the club only ordered 1000 jerseys and if he knew when they would arrive.

Bloody facists

He could've brought them with him, the lazy sod

"So, did you pack this bag yourself Sir?"

Tell you what, how good is it that a Salford player is making waves in the national press, as long as he stays on the park this signing could be a total master-stroke (if it isn't already!)

Not to dampen your chips KOTS but the national papers are regionalised and that news won't have spread to the southern versions etc etc..

But agreed its good to get anything in a national type rag.

has his misses sorted her visa yet? if she cant do you reckon it might cause a few problems with him being homesick etc?

i think living opposite albert park will make him home sick

it's ok mate - a few beers in Walkabout and he'll think he's back in Sydney !!!

Methinks a lot of folk are hailing Patten's arrival as the second coming of The Messiah.
We all know he has the ability, but he surely can't turn the team/squad/club around on his own, can he








I just hope he doesn't feel the pressure too much, as it may just way heavily.

Anyhow, on that depressing note, I'm off for another can of the delicious San Miguel

It's not about one man making a team. It's more about adding another piece to the Jigsaw, maybe he's one of those pieces around the edge or a corner. Not the be all and end all, but very important. We could only 3/4 players away from being a really good team.

Oh, and one head coach away still.
