Weirdly enough I was concerned about the performance at home to Gillingham. Yes we’d had a brilliant purple patch in the first half and stuck four past them, which was so much fun. But we were frighteningly poor in the second half. People said afterwards that it was understandable to “take...

Regarding Djibril Cissé, here’s what Wikipedia says:- “On 20 October 2015, Cissé announced his retirement from football at the age of 34 due to injury” So perhaps he got on the list because he’s unattached to one of his kneecaps or something?

Almeida Jeroen Lumu Jo can bang them in alright. Not 100% sure that I’ve got the line breaks in the right place though.

They're all very clever idiots though :)

… and the crap deal was a natural consequence of the Council and the Higgs having to sustain a load of debt to keep the stadium project afloat. The way for CCFC to get out of paying so much rent and to get us back some control over the Ricoh was to cough up the (again inevitably high) formula...

I agree with much of that (except to say that I could see ability in Barnett even when some were saying he was the worst player ever, and I wasn’t alone. He needed time to find his feet, just like Stokes did and Bigi could well be the same). Knowing how players are going to develop is very...

My take on it is that the owners have said no more money will be put in, so the club must pay for itself. Selling Maddison is the only way to keep it going competitively (ish). The manager advised Joy that hanging on to him for a couple more years could pay off handsomely, but she’s sticking...

What I don’t get G is that you spend a lot of time around here spouting off about other people not being genuine fans, just because they don’t meet some invisible quota of posts on a match day. Yet you seem to be brushing off the sale of Maddison as if it didn’t bother you one way or the other...

NW - I've "liked" this not because I like it (if you know what I mean), but because I think you are spot on with your interpretation. But the problem remains that we have sold this outstanding young player too soon and for too little money. He might have funded us for several seasons if we'd...

I can’t believe the philosophical reaction of so many posters. The shitfest of the last few years has hardened me to most things about CCFC, and the ups and downs don’t affect me anything like they used to. But for me, this ranks alongside the sales of Dennis Mortimer and Robbie Keane on the...

If Vincelot and Rose both played, maybe Fleck would have more freedom to get forward - personally, I'd like to see that. Fleck works well when operating from deep, but I think he's capable of doing more damage. On the other hand, the team pretty much picked itself at the start of the season...

Armstrong is currently slightly ahead in terms of development. I really like him, and he’ll probably make a Premier League striker. But if Maddison can fulfil his potential, I reckon he will be the better (and more valuable) player, maybe a regular international. The question is...

Ecstasy I presume?

No Nick, that’s too inflammatory. You need something neutral like “Anti-Franchise Heros vs Council Fanboy Hypocrites” ;)

Decent set of results tonight IMO. Posh, Sheffield and Bradford all failing to win. I'm settling into looking for a playoff place, whilst of course hoping for a fantastic run to get us into the automatics. Let's face it, the playoffs would be more exciting than anything we've seen for many a...

The most popular thread on the Wasps section was kicked off in October with … "Well according to a rather subdued Mr Eastwood on CWR it seems the franchise bunch are 'hoping' for 10,000 tomorrow. Still of course more than the Wycombe fixture last year and of course everyone is obsessed with the...

I have nothing against this thread, but would like to point out that it was fifty-two years ago :)

He can play, but looks like a square peg in a round hole. Surely he’d make a better central midfielder?

If only! Martin Cranie maybe, which is no bad thing.
