    SHFWF - Bolton Wanderers

    I feel sorry for the fans of Bolton but they're an example of overspending and now getting their rewards for it. The years of paying for players like Okocha, Campo, Anelka, Hierro etc has helped their slide down the pyramid. Their fans enjoyed it whilst they were in the Prem and now...

    England v Ireland

    Fair comment. More of a generalised statement to the England teams over recent years. A few exceptions in the current team. The work Rashford does for example should be highly commended.

    England v Ireland

    And if you think we've been shite tonight (we've really not been), you shouldve watched a number of our performances over the last 5 years. Lacking in quality but driven by teamwork and desire.

    England v Ireland

    We're a small nation with much less to choose from than the 'mighty' England. Would rather cheer 11 players who always give their all despite not being as gifted as many of the opponents we face rather than the prima-donna, overpayed players you cheer for. If you want passion in your national...

    The Masters

    Yeah, I heard that on Sky Sports earlier. Interesting stat.

    Greg Clarke and my confusion....

    I have to disagree with your point about the difference being common knowledge. A couple of friends I've spoken to about it also said the same that it's a grey area - well those two examples are anyway. You're (not you - I mean generally) referring to someone as being coloured or as a person of...

    Greg Clarke and my confusion....

    Isn't that a really grey area though...surely it's just semantics...the word colour/ed has been used by both people in these cases...ones been castigated, one hasn't.

    The Masters

    I LOVE the Masters. I'll be working in front of my TV from lunchtime today and tomorrow and already told Mrs WM not to get much out of me for the next 4 evenings! I've got into golf in a massive way over the last 5 years and worked with the European Tour last year in my old job which was great...

    Greg Clarke and my confusion....

    I don't want this thread to be controversial in any way but I wondered if someone could clear something up. Greg Clarke has obviously left his post as Chairman of the FA for some poor comments - the main one being used in the media being the word 'coloured'...

    Newbie, Hello All

    PS. I think MR just needs to get them to stop doing the stupid things late on. Concentrate for 97 minutes, not 89.

    Newbie, Hello All

    Hey. I'm the resident bouncer here - big stature and all that. Quick checklist before you're allowed in: * What's your view on stripey insects? * Do you prefer quick taxis or long rollercoaster rides? * Can Max make it at this level? * Preference on Dabo at DCM? * If you were going undercover...

    Wasps meetings with the council

    I've said things about Gilbert before about being a bit one-sided on this whole article and how he used the situation for his own financial gain with his book. But he at least seems to be looking at the other side of things now and the 'underhand' dealings between other parties in the...

    Five subs

    Yeah, I see what you're saying. I guess the law of averages would mean that every player could statistically play less minutes per season due to increasing chances of them being taken off as a result of more subs per game. But yeah, I guess for those who aren't subbed, having to chase 5 fresher...

    Five subs

    I have to say, despite the time consuming nature of substitutions, I'm all for 5 subs. I agree that players do seem to get more injuries than the olden days but regardless or whether you're Liverpool on Lincoln, having the opportunity to use 5 subs would ultimately keep players fresher and...

    2020-21 Squad Wages. Maybe.

    https://footballleaguefc.com/coventry-city-fc-player-wages/amp/ Just saw this on FB...not sure on the accuracy but worth a discussion. If accurate, I'd be surprised at how much O'Hare is on.

    Jodi Jones

    The thing is, and I want him to return to the team, he might get ready physically but mentally will be really tough for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull out of challenge after challenge to ensure either of his knees doesn't go again.

    Monk sacked at SWFC

    Wasn't really aware of all of that to be honest. That makes more sense now. Although they might have been awful, had they not had the 6 point deficit, they'd be 5 points ahead of us in 18th.
