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.

Did you support that or stand against it? Does it only matter when it happens to a team you happen to support?

Good point. Other than screwing over the local football and rugby club, promoting the franchising of sport, having absolutely no history or links to the City, getting the Ricoh at a knock-down price by taking advantage of a council clearly obsessed with beating SISU regardless of the cost, and...

It's a Wasps story because for some reason the SBT have leveraged a rumour about Wasps buying the Higgs Centre into a dig at SISU. I've no issue with anyone saying that CCFC should firm up plans for both the academy and a new ground, who doesn't want that - but with apologies this looks to me...

Or possibly a better example, under the logic of what is being proposed here - would it have been OK to bomb Dublin in the 1970s?

Your so called 'reasonable opposition' is neatly lining up behind Cameron to pitch us into another war, just like they lined up with him on benefit cuts, and just like they lined up behind Blair on Iraq. As a lifelong Labour man, I'm pretty tired of having to take a Tory line to be considered...

It's a ridiculous and offensive label, this 'terrorist sympathiser' thing - and it shows what a weak, pathetic man Cameron is for having to resort to it. If you really want to take on ISIS, then the genuinely brave thing to do is to stand up against those funding and supporting them to suit...
