Half the people on here probably don't know who Iggy Pop is let alone the tune in question. Spot on with the hilarious song reference even if it is about a serial killer.

The important events define outcomes in games. Schoolboy error by Allen for their first goal. What was he thinking? Big boot out required. Wright is brilliant and terrible usually in equal measure throughout any game. Against Swansea, he scored two really good goals although Simms nicked the...

But it has kept Sociologists and Biologists in work with competition vs cooperation

Reading what MR said about Sheaf heading the ball, I would assume he will not play unless MR is using misdirection. Knowing the stubborn stupidity of football authorities, I worry about the Kitchen decision but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Against Sheff Wed, was the first time I have been...

O'Hare being offered a big bucks new contract is a really tough one. Today and in many earlier matches he has looked a bit off the pace and reluctant to tackle like he used to. Against Birmingham and in glimpses at Sunderland he looked back to his best. I still think he has some way to go to...

If you are a football commentator, you really need to do your homework on the opposition so you can give context to what is happening on the pitch. Oggy and Clive know their football but take the time to get background information on the opposition. Too many lazy commentators on local radio or...

Thought Eccles played well with a couple of defence splitting passes just over hit. Absolutely shagged out on 80 mins and should have been subbed but I guess MR didn't think we ha anyone better on the bench.

Pissed up crowd, atmosphere should be good apart from the dilution by part-timers who go to 1 match a year. Remember Sheff Wed fans singing you're not fit to wear the shirt at Highfield Rd when they got relegated from the top tier. Could be another Plymouth type game or anything really. A clean...

Never been to Sunderland as its a bit cold up there. Coventry is not a shithole, it just does not sell itself properly. The shopping is dire but the people are awesome (apart from the nobheads that you find everywhere).

I like football rivalries providing the challenged don't take it beyond sensible banter. I had and still have good friends from Sunderland at college and they were very interested in drinking, football and getting their leg over. Were certainly not as attractive to all women as they thought they...

Agree good luck to them. There is a school of thought that says they have been very lucky with injuries and their back up players are not too great. Lets see how it pans out.

The game has changed out of all proportion to the "we can play 14 players a season and win the league." Liverpool this season have used more players than anyone and regularly rotate. Incidentally, some Liverpool fans were calling for Klopp to be sacked when the team were changing their personal...

If you try to have a sensible discussion, about a clearly documented issue with supporting evidence, it is inevitable the cherry pickers and people who are not presenting an evidence based reply will all come out of the woodwork in high dudgeon. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...

Dreadful. We have just played two of the worst teams (Sheffield Wednesday aside) when you look at their injuries and been crap overall. Another conceded header from a cross then game over. How many times are we going to let in headers from crosses? Cannot get shots on target most of the time...

Why should he. They still owe us for all the seats they trashed at Highfield Rd

Lets be honest, we are not doing great. Apart from Leicester who we probably should have got at least a point against, we have played a lot of the poorer teams, or teams who were not in the groove like Middlesborough and Swansea. Game for game, I think we are about six points off last year with...

I read the book by the weird American guy we had on the Board (name escapes me). He said fans get really excited when a team gets a corner but it almost never results in a goal. Also said goalies should just stay in the middle and will save more penalties? Did everything by statistics.

Is Gus Kahn playing?

Depends on the keeper. Whomever takes them should bomb them in if they are in swingers. Need to vary it more with short corners. At the other end, we were brilliant at defending them last year. We are rubbish at defending crosses this year.

He was pushed before the goal which put him enough off balance to give the scorer an advantage. I would say it was subtle but still a foul, not a coming together or shoulder to shoulder. Just because shit refs often never give it as a foul does not mean it was not a foul. MR who is experienced...
