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! :)

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...
