    If we could only win one ...

    The Etihad is the most uninspiring ground on the outside. But once inside it is as though you're in a different stadium. And when Man Ciry scored I felt my insides dancing around. And that was just to make it 1-2 at the start of injury time. I was sat 4 rows from them. Just 2 rows of police and...

    No. He was dealing Mexican food.

    So living in Kent would be a massive lifestyle change for Godden. Minimum 6 hours travel a day for work or live away from your wife and kids most of the time.

    FA CUP 4TH ROUND DRAW - MONDAY 19:50 (ish)

    Don't want another Championship side. Makes it feel like a non event. Home game for those clubs below us. Home or away for the Prem sides. If so we would either have a game we should realistically win like Oxford or get to test ourselves against a good side. No shame in going out to a Prem...

    And hers? Done the living hundreds of miles away from your nearest family with babies/toddlers. You don't get a single break. Any visiting takes planning. And family support is different to friends support. Plenty of clubs around Kent that would be interested if that's the route he chooses...

    But if he has been wise and invested well he will have enough for a comfortable lifestyle. 5k a week average over 4 years is over 1m. Take off tax unless invested in proper tax break investments. I mentioned what I would consider. I have already taken early retirement and moved to where I...

    Hi Hackers hope you're well. It's playing out from the back that's working 😄 Looking forward to seeing how we've progressed. Our team is playing as one now. Occasional defensive mistakes but quite solid otherwise. You have a few quality players so will be an interesting game. Both sides like...

    Why is that? Choose where they want to live. Local side League 2. Less money but quality of life. Or just spend time with wife and kids. Very strong possibilities for a player coming to the end of their career. Only they know if their body can take another 9 months of brutal fitness. Players...

    I disagree. He should have done a lap of honour after each goal to show.us how much the goals mean to him. But in reality there was no need to rub their noses in it any more. As a contest it finished an hour before. We know what our club means to him. Spent his best years rising up the...

    We have some really 'special' supporters but we're quite normal. Every other football club has their 'special" supporters that have been watching football for many years and still struggle with the basics. Take our new team/squad. Every single player has been called shite and a waste of money...

    Kyle Mcfadzean

    Not a legend. Would have been if we got promoted last season though. Was one of the main reasons we got as far as we did. Very good to have around even if not playing. He has a lot of experience to hand over to our young players. His football brain hasn't suddenly left the airport. It's just 1...

    Panorama - post office scandal

    Wife binge watched this last night. I was hooked after 10 minutes. The main part missed by most is those who should be keeping an eye on things like this are also the owners. So the owners want it kept quiet. The British government and Post Office have been able to keep it quiet for years by...

    Transfer targets

    My son in law to be is a Plymouth supporter 😁 He wasn't happy with our goal when the ball went out and now Stoke have taken their manager. He stayed with us over New Year. Think i may have wound him up a little. He'd never come back if we also bought Whittaker as well 😂😂😂

    They do get exposure. But if they had a decent opponent most weeks they would get a lot more. Who wants to see Rangers v Celtic evey week or one of them against a side they don't have a clue about in a one sided game? They want to see action. The Prem has the money but the Championship has the...

    January transfers around the league

    Billy Idol lives in Los Angeles. I'm sure he would prefer Hull too.

    Interesting but not exciting like the Championship can be. Not taking over a thread with a conversation I had the other night. I can bore you in another thread 😁

    Do you really think we have seen the best of Sakamoto yet? I've laughed a few times when he has left his opponent not knowing where either he or the ball is. A rare skill he shows frequently. And he is just getting warmed up. I said a couple of weeks ago that we might struggle to keep him this...

    If Gyokeres moved to Celtic instead he would have smashed the SPL. But he wouldn't have got the same exposure as Scottish clubs mainly just make the numbers up in Europe these days and the calibre of their opponents isn't that good. How about TV exposure? How many are interested in paying for...

    How much does he cost us a week? Brighton have been great to us. Without them we wouldn't have this side together. Might even still have SISU and a club without assets. Bit of payback time and work with him. We don't even know what type of loan we have. You never know we might need their help...
