Completely agree with this, OSB. I'm not too down but what I want to see this time next year, as a minimum, is us going into the last game of the season with at least a chance of getting into the playoffs. Incremental progress, as TM would say.

Sorry chief, but every time I move you seem to end up sitting next to me. "Oi. Cole. You're crap. LAUNCH IIIITTTT!!" :)

£175k salary plus pension contributions to take it to around £200k, as I understand it mate. Not in your league Nick, obviously, but not bad for three days work a week. :)

Didn't get a leaflet other than Lib Dems, and didn't get asked to deliver leaflets (for Labour) this year either. I sense a degree of complacency, perhaps. As it goes circumstances overtook me last night, but I'm not quite sure who I'd have voted for. My heart is red, so to speak, which is...

Nice touch from JC. I wish him well, but I certainly wouldn't be rushing back here from Florida in the middle of winter. :)

Quite fancy this for bringing the eldest up one game next season... to be honest if I had the cash I'd be seriously tempted to do this fairly regularly.

Go. Holding onto him is like chasing your losses at the roulette table - it never ends well. Don't wish the chap ill, but I'd rather spend the money elsewhere.

Yep, sorry, absolutely fair - Stokes has been remarkable for us, I dunno who I was thinking about there! But again the point stands, that makes the comparison with Reda a bit daft - if anyone's earned the right to a breather Stokes has. In fairness to Reda, I think it's a decent move offering...

People need sterilising for feeling something different to you? And then in the same breath you talk about morons suffering from reactionary, false outrage? Priceless.

What has that to do with it? How many games have they missed through injury/illness/taking three days to get back from international games over the last two seasons? Reda, supposedly a talisman and leader, but not actually offering a great deal to the club other than on his handful of...

Since when was it 'moronic' to offer a different opinion? Reda, as I recall, was signed and is often touted as a kind of talismanic leader. He's had quite a lot of money out of the club for very little in my eyes, and I would like to have seen those leadership qualities put to some sort of use...

If you're getting 200k/p.a. to work for CCC, then the very least I'd expect as a taxpayer is that you work full-time for CCC. I'd like to know if the WMCA (West Midlands Combined Authority) who he has been moonlighting for, have been paying the equivalent value of his time back to the council...

This is well-reasoned, as ever chief - and yet for some reason it does really piss me off that he's out enjoying himself with his mates whilst we're having such a crappy season. I suppose what I want him to do is to be showing leadership even when injured. I want him to be travelling with the...

It wasn't wealth and influence that has got Evans a retrial, but it has undoubtedly got him to this position a lot faster than almost anyone else who claims to have been a victim of a miscarriage of justice. Had Ched Evans been a normal chap no one had heard of, without substantial wealth and a...

Evidence please. I don't care whether you're for in or out, but I'm calling bullshit on this. The hysterical arguments do no one any favours, make your case on its merits, rather than on something a fat bloke down the pub told you.

Just to come back to this, within a matter of weeks of the Marseille fans playing the Benny Hill theme tune to mock their own (seriously underperforming) players, the billionaire business woman who owns the club has decided to put it up for sale...

In a year's time he'll be training down the Memorial Park, and Mowbray will be complaining about players happy to sit out long terms deals preventing him from bringing in new talent. Everyone on here will refer to him in terms of a 'waste of valuable oxygen' etc. ;)

Exactly this. One of my best mates is a copper, now retired, and I still play footy with a whole bunch of them on a regular basis. They are regular, decent human beings obliged to deal with some of the worst situations (and people) you can imagine. None of them are perfect, and there are...

Quality. I'll cross them, you nod 'em in. :)

I can see where the Marseille fans are coming from with this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOMXpMIAlOo In truth, I think our season is almost worse than theirs - at least they've got a cup semi-final to look forward to! :)
