Downright rude comment to make to someone who obviously knows the player personally.
Still it wouldn't be ferrarilover if you didn't attempt to shock by making a p*ss-weak attempt at a witticism.
Nice to hear from you again, Mr Ferrari - and in predictable vein!ferrarilover wrote:So, no beer, no sloth, plenty of interest, no distractions, extra training, high fitness. Only one thing left, he must suffer a lack of talent. Sadly, of all the traits here mentioned, the only one beyond his control is ability, you can't polish a turd, but you can make it run more and stop drinking. Shame.
Matt.
)Please elaborate! Do you have a reliable source? By the way, he may play for Kenya, but he was brought up solely by the English side of his family so is more British than Kenyan!Trojan 67 wrote:I don't know if this is true, but as Arthur Daly is the wizard of buying/selling goods, then Tai is the Kenyan equivalent.If it is true then it would appear that football is only a hobby for Tai.
The Country & Western duo known as Richard Edwards and Bruce Stuckey pursued their "hobby" after their playing days.
Thank you Tai for your vital goals in the season just ended and best wishes for your future career.
I'm interested to see how Jarvis is used next season. Will he become Howe's back-up, like Tai has been, or go up 4-4-2.brucie wrote:I am still puzzled why everyone thinks Jarvis is better than Atiemo. I think he is underated, Jarvis couldn't score from two yards out in the play offs yet Atieno come on and scores straight away. It was a good header as well as the ball was going behind him.
If Yeoman and Jarvis are what we have to look forward to god help us.
Thought this would being out an OTT response from you, Matt. Jusv waiting for something similar from Austrian Andy who seems to have gone to ground.ferrarilover wrote: Yup, utter sh*t all season, one pointless, meaningless consolation makes up for everything...

Make no mistake this tie is absolutely 100% over as without Howe there is no chance of us scoring twice.
Onto today well I'm still annoyed at our 2nd half display. 1st half was ok, we created a couple of good chances of which Jarvis and Howe should have both done better but as ever we fail to make those chances count. Eunan was pulling the strings, Cheltenham never looked like hurting us and we're 1-0 down.
The 2nd half was just awful, Cheltenham were light years better than us, should have scored about 5 goals if it wasn't for a couple of last ditch blocks and clearances, what summed us up was their centre forward makes it 2-0 with a header. We go straight up the other end and hit the bar with a 10x easier one.
We just never score any goals as our forward players other than Howe are substandard at best and not good enough at worst. I can never fault our effort or endeavour but sadly in Cheltenham I saw everything we don't have. They look like a L2 promotion side, power and strength at the back, tidy central midfielders, rapid wingers and a massive depth in strikers. 4 to be precise. If things didn't go Cheltenham's way today they could look to their bench and bring on Duffy, Goulding, Smikle, we're losing and we bring on a left back to play out wide. A complete lack of depth in the forwards and plan B has ultimately killed us this season. You will nearly always see the teams with the best strikers go up and if I was a Cheltenham fan I'd feel very confident right now that they could win the whole thing.
What a waste.

Isn't it nice that others are now seeing in Taiwo what we knew all along?
