I think that's what I'd vote for, personally. I can't understand how a couple of years on from the £9bn Olympics there isn't any desire or capability to keep that kind of facility. Where's the "legacy"? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a swimmer myself, but we're as far from the sea as you can...

Not denigrating the OP, and I'd love it to be true, but it just feels like we've down this road a few times already. Here's hoping though. :)

I'll give you this, it's much better when you come out straight, rather than just making snide asides and trying to hide the insults. I'm not going to try to convince you that I love the club - that would be a waste of time. For someone who claims to have observed a lot of posts my though, you...

Interesting that you're now pretending that a post directly quoting me, actually wasn't aimed at me. Why are you backtracking Grendel? I was going to let rip here, but honestly, man-to-man, what you're doing is really pretty sad. There's no insult I could throw at you that you haven't heard...

Because you responded directly to my post, quoting it in your response.

Come off it - I was just trying to politely point out to LJC that he might be winding people up a bit with some general comments. He seems to be pretty good at defending himself with regard to individuals - I'm leaving them to it. If I wanted to make a general point, it's this: Some people...

Yep, see what you're saying. Fwiw I predicted (but didn't bet on!) England and Uruguay to go through the group stages, and Brazil to win it. Shows what I know, eh. ;)

LJC - unless you're really determined to become disliked, you've got to ease off on this stuff about claiming to know more about football than everyone else. It's bound to get people snapping back. You get stuff wrong, like we get stuff wrong. You can point to your opinion, and support it...

Must confess I was confused for a moment - but then I re-read and got the samples idea. I hadn't made the connection to the NTFC colours. Now that would have been provocative. Funny though. ;) I like Red & Green. Stands out, and are the colours of the City. Be happy to wear it even when...

Good work on this Nick. Fwiw I voted for no badges, this on the basis I think we need to keep it as simple as possible and minimise any scope for potential disagreement.

cf also George Best, and Jim Morrison. It always flags the beginning of the end, facial hair. ;)

Ah - he didn't have a beard then though, did he? Look at how his career fell as his facial hair increased. It's linear, I tell you. :)

Ah - you've got to laugh. There's no way that you can separate Otium and SISU - all of the same people are involved, under the ultimate control of JS. The club can't expect ACL to have them back at the Ricoh whilst the court case is in play. It doesn't matter how damning the verdict is, if...

I'll start. What the hell kind of name is McQuoid? There's no way anyone with that kind of name is going to do well. And has he got a beard? I bet he has. There hasn't been a good player with a beard since Socrates. Is that enough to get things moving. ;)

All fair enough that, I wouldn't disagree with any of it. Although the thing about footy, as you've said elsewhere, is that you can do all of the research you want and still not get it right. I've got some fantastic statistical tools at my disposal, courtesy of the work I used do. I used to...

My understanding of it was that the £100k actually had to be lodged with SISU's solicitors against possible costs, prior to commencing the action (sort of an escrow, in effect). So in essence these funds were simply released. If they hadn't been, I presume that SISU's solicitors would have...

No need to bump it mate, if I was coming on here telling everyone I disagreed with that they didn't understand football and I've done all the reasearch, and I was absolutely certain we won't go down, then I'd feel obliged to put my money where my mouth was. If you're so definite, then stick...

Sorry, but I don't believe you. All this stuff about being bullish is fine, but would you really stick a load of money on us not being relegated? If so, with respect, scan in your betting slip and prove it.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. You can do all of the research you want with regard to other teams and their possible woes, and still come up with perfectly valid reasons for why we might struggle. Expressing those opinions is just as valid as you saying why you think we won't struggle. If I...

I'd like to see him come good too, both for the team and for himself. There's got to be something gritty about the bloke, because he's certainly not throwing the towel in. It would be great to see everyone get behind him and really give him some encouragement - maybe a bit of confidence would...
