You've got to take your chances, and you've got to defend better than that. Fortune, who actually looked suprisingly mobile tonight, could have helped out by standing still on the far post for their first goal - what was he thinking? Fleck looked tidy enough, Jones looked very promising, and...

All fair enough, but CCFC are 8th in the third division of football. Wasps are 4th/5th in the top division of Rugby. We've got plenty of room for improvement and the potential to one day access the richest league in the world. Where do Wasps go from here? As for Rugby v Football, it's like...

Hmm. What I'm taking from this is a company that despite being gifted a stadium isn't yet turning a profit, with an obligation to pay over £2.3 million in interest on a £35 million loan which will also need to be paid back in 2022. I'm not saying that Wasps will fail anytime soon - but as...

It's not the Albanians that worry me, it's the Sylvanians. They're eating me out of house and home, but a fat bloke down the pub tells me that unless we get out of the EU I can't stop them living here. :)

We're allowed to differ mate, it's not a problem. It certainly makes a change for it to be respectful though, I hardly ever get that. :) It is, as I said, just my opinion. I don't think dumping a manager who has lifted the club so far and so quickly because of a bad run of form makes sense...

I just don't see any reason to get rid of Mowbray myself. Last season we would have been chuffed to bits to be anywhere near in reach of the play-offs at this point in the season. We've finally got a decent, experienced manager who wants to play football the right way, and now people want rid...

Would this be the same Dion Dublin that refused to play for us in case he got injured before his big money move, perhaps? ;)

Good Lord. How can we be talking about this without mentioning the old "Jesus Saves! But Keegan scores the rebound...." I'm disappointed in you all. :) No problem with the fella's religion - whatever floats your boat, imho. I suspect that he's just a bit knackered physically. He's...

The problem with four-year contracts is what happens when the best young talent doesn't turn out to be as good as you thought. Or when the new manager (bearing in mind I can't remember the last manager we had for more than a couple of years) decides he doesn't rate the old manager's players...

What if I offered you 10k more a week to work elsewhere? And if your current job (and that offer) could disappear in an instant. (In football you're only one bad tackle, one serious injury from being finished.). Are you sure you wouldn't be a least a tiny bit financially motivated? I see...

Smart analysis NW, I'd never made that connection. It's entirely valid, excepting that it doesn't suit my completely subjective and without evidence personal opinion, which obviously trumps any facts you can present. So there. :)

Indeed, although of course I believe Leicester, Northampton and Gloucester were playing away... At home Leicester pulled in over 19,000 last week and that was against Treviso, who will have brought considerably less fans than Leinster. Let's not pretend, Wasps aren't exactly the massive draw...

No one should have to tolerate this. From my experiences the best results come by getting your local councillor on board. When councillors start looking into things on your behalf, then things tend to move more quickly. There's no point in complaining further to the offender in my experience...

Yes, it was. Why do you keep asking? :)

It's a few minutes walk from The Unicorn at most, but there's quite a lot of undergrowth around some bits of the area there. I wouldn't want to speculate beyond that, whether it's the man in question or not, the family must be going through hell at the moment.

Got to be worth signing, if for no other reason that anytime the pub bore asks me after the game "Who Scored?", I can reply, "Yes". (Copyright Abbot and Costello... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=airT-m9LcoY) :)

I'm a bit confused here, because anyone who has even a basic understanding of politics should understand that it's the 'lefties' (like me) that have traditionally supported feminism and stood up against sexism. And taking in our fair share of refugees, particularly from countries that we're...

Funnily enough, I think Cole is more likely to come good next season - there's no doubt of his ability, but at the moment he looks some way off the pace to me (at least based on what I saw against Port Vale). However a proper pre-season and more game time, and I think there's a player there...

I can live with the goal not being given, that wasn't an easy call imho. The handball just before it was slightly clearer I thought, and I'm more surprised that was missed. However there's no excuse for missing that leg-breaking tackle in the first half, I think even the player himself...

I'm not sure he was exactly a legend, but anytime we get around to this conversation in the pub Stewart Robson's name comes up. He was a Rolls-Royce of a player when fit.
