Murphy was the last man substituted and had been absolutely shocking. I think the cheer was one of relief if nothing else because for one dreadful second most people thought he might stay on.

Murphy , for some reason appears to be first on the team sheet, and yet lacks the basic hunger, nouse and motivation to be a successfull footballer. Week in week out he fails in terms of work rate and teamwork, never anticipated a pass or a run, moans at referees constantly and then simply...

Fleetwood are going to get absolutely hammered in the same way as Bury. The promotion push is definitely back on . "I couldn't ask any more from my players. They were absolutely fantastic and ran themselves into the ground. No question about it." ...SP after a 5-0 drubbing by Coventry City. :cool:

1977- for 3 years we were brilliant . Anyone regular would know that one of the reasons we had such a big crowd at the well documented 2-2 draw with Bristol City was that despite our desperate position in the league we were on a roll - we all knew that if we stayed up we would be a force to be...

......I'd have put JOB on second half and bought off Murphy - his (Murphy's) tendency to give up , whing at referees and lose interest when things go against him is is shocking at times. At 4-0 perhaps Murphy should have been off and JOB, for all his positional faults, always gives 100% . A...

...can trap a ball at about the third bounce.

Jimmy Hill it must be. I was too young to remember him and started going in the mid 70's during Gordon Milne era. The team of 1977-8 was , and remains, the best I've ever seen so Gordon gets my vote for managers during the time I've been going .

When I was at Junior school the snow was almost as deep as me and I still played outside.....at least that's how it felt but that was in the 1960/70's so I could be exaggerating.

Absolutely pissing down with rain here in Rugby. I hate these bloody wet, warm winters. Not like in the old days when we had 10 feet of snow and you could throw a bucket of water down your garden path to make an ice slide.......and we still went to school in a blizzard and they let us out to...

...what protest ?

I liked Bowie the man and his music, and though it is very sad I just can't cry over people I've never met . As for Diana, I just didn't get all that hysteria at all. I hid for a few days because I didn't feel I could join in with all that sobbing. I'm not normal. :thinking about:

Read a while ago in one of Jim Brown's books about plans for a huge new spion kop stand shortly after we won promotion to the then 1st division. If I remember correctly it would hold 28,000, of which 10,000 would be seated. I can't understand how on earth it would have held so many, despite the...

.....and at least 15,000 empty seats as things stand, not currently for sale. It's almost funny .:facepalm:

They do from me.

On their readytogo.net forum the overwhelming majority of Sunderland supporters pay tribute to Jimmy Hill and respect for his family. Bearing in mind the hatred towards us from some of their supporters who remember the Cov/Bristol City in the 70's which condemned them to relegation I expected...

There is more and more fannying around with the ball at the back - back and forth across the pitch and back to the keeper. They came unstuck against Doncaster and its becoming more and more a part of our style. I know the keeper likes to role the ball rather than punt it as Armstrong will never...

Wasps are going to change their name to "Coventry wasps" and then bugger off to ground share at the New Plough Lane with Wimbledon.

It's latin for "we're not very good" ;)

Absolutely agree. I remember buying my season ticket and waiting for the Earth to spin one complete rotation before it coughed out my details. It reminds me of the late 1990's when we all got the internet on dial up and you could hit the send button, make the dinner , watch a couple of hours...

No one (particularly) hates us, we don't care .
