    Do you Regret Calling for Gordon Strachan's Head

    I like him a lot more now he's not here. ;) A thoroughly decent, likeable man, and great player. I think he's turned into a respectable manager, and I wish him nothing but well personally, even with Scotland! But I don't think he did a good job for us in truth.

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    I can't see it because it's fundamentally and plainly untrue. You really need to go back a while and read his articles and tweets about local government. From what I've read this is a man committed to localism, and away from CCFC he's clearly challenged a number of Westminster initiatives that...

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    Basically, that's the way that I see it. It's just that you can make the point in one sentence. :)

    Whatever happened to Les Reid

    He didn't get into bed with SISU, that's a ridiculous assertion. At the worst, he offered a different interpretation on events - one that a number of people didn't much care for, and ever since then there's been a stack of bullshit seemingly implying he's been bought off in some way. That...

    How to pull this Christmas!

    Do you like Wotsits and pornography, perchance? (Don't throw away old jokes - recycle!) :)

    Willis injured, another loan player to come in

    Fair comment, but I always thought St Ledger was a decent player. I'd be tempted. As for Kusczak, I'd go for it - I reckon goalkeepers can probably get without the need for quite so much conditioning (I'm thinking of Oggy here, and his 20 B&H a day habit!).

    How to pull this Christmas!

    Oh my lord, I thought you were employing dry irony. You were being serious! ;) I remember, some considerable time ago, my mates car being nicked from Craven St. They pretty much stripped anything of value out of it, including my golf clubs (thus saving me years and years of future misery, I...

    Block 15 - Closed off section

    Joking aside, I'd hope not - it would be a bit petty. Their fans didn't have much choice in it, and rented or not it's still our home too.

    CCBCFC Stadium

    My end of town, more or less. Pretty much all green belt when you get past the old Massey's site, until you hit Solihull. HS2 is carving through this gap too, which will cause moderate carnage, but wouldn't in itself probably matter to any new stadium. It would be very hard to build something...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I'm a CRFC fan - in fact I've been to more CRFC games than CCFC games over the last couple of years. I'm not happy about what's been done to CRFC. I'd much rather you didn't pretend to speak for CRFC fans when you've clearly no idea how we feel. It's actually kind of offensive. As for Wasps...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I beg to differ. I've certainly not made a case for Sixfields or ever defended SISU that I'm aware, but I'm certainly not happy with Wasps being allowed to buy 100% of ACL for 250-years. As for bleating about a situation that I cannot influence (other than perhaps via a personal choice to...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    You've got it. Here's a list of the most common ones, as I recall. There are others. "Coming in from the side", penalty. "Side parting on the wrong side", penalty. "Not entering via the gate", penalty. "Leaving the bog door open", penalty. "In front of the back foot", penalty. "Standing on...

    so it was Reda

    Yep, he probably worked up more of a sweat carrying his suitcase to his car. :)

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Mate, if you can send one of the meeters and greeters my way I'd be very grateful. I've played a bit and watched rugby for a good few years now, and I'm certainly not sure that I understand the game! And you thought offside in football was confusing. ;) Brian Moore, former England...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I think that in truth the 27,000 at Gillingham, and then the subsequent attendances puts the lie to some of that theory. Wasps, like CCFC, will have some hard core fans that will always go. The rest will need persuasion and want value for money. The fact that they're already giving away...

    Agreed - but if it was true, then surely he'd have gone by now...

    so it was Reda

    Off topic, but man I miss Chippo. Hadji was the better technical player without a doubt, but Chippo loved playing football, it just shone through. So many players now seem to see being on the pitch as a chore...

    so it was Reda

    In fairness WM, Reda played on the Thursday rather than the Friday, but I hear what you're saying here. I suspect that it was agreed beforehand, as you say, but the tone of the interview with SP just had an edge to it when this came up, which makes me think that SP wasn't happy even if he'd...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Fair enough Noggin, I respect that. There's no doubt that my anger about this has made me even snappier than usual, so apologies where that's leaked out. The frustrating for me, is that this should have been us. The one thing I'm sure we'd agree on is that with half-decent owners (even prior...
