So using your logic, the reason for our fall down the divisions is that we have not been sacking managers frequently enough. So, another 5 sackings would have seen us steady in the Championship, 10 would have us in the promised land of the Premier League and with 20, we'd be parading the...

On the Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail there's a great sketch about invalid logic. Might be worth a listen

How many seasons can you remember where you haven't been studying the bottom of the table and working out how many points we need to stay clear? Seems like a miracle to me!

Sent you a PM.

Or alternative view, is that constantly sacking managers has taken us down two divisions.

I understand your views on Thorn, but he did end the run under Bothroyd that was much worse than our current run and had us heading towards relegation. Another case though where the improvement from a sacking was short lived. Unless we try sacking managers on a monthly basis to try to get a...

I'd be happy with that.

Thanks to Jan for the report. Sounds promising - looks like we're moving in the right direction.

Well, it does matter to those of us who are trying to understand why the deal was done when it was done and whether on balance it's a positive or a negative. Ooops, better go and wipe away that froth.......

Didn't get to see much of him in the Midlands. The Big Match was a southern thing. Star Soccer was the real deal for Sunday afternoons!

Got taken to the Cov v Everton "donkey kick" game as a birthday present. We went in the Main Stand and before the game went into one of the new posh bars for a lemonade (literally - I was about 11). Barry Davies was in there having a pre-match drink and had quite a chat with my Dad. He was my...

As opposed to the David Coleman "One nil" - with his trademark inflexion.

Remember his catch phrase after a goal had been scored - "We've got a whole new ball game going!"

I remember (I think from earlier that season) the game when Colin Stein made his home debut and Tommy Hutchison made his full debut. In fact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS6MsH8OleY
