The intention of all such "insults" - SISU lover, Council lover etc - is to belittle the target. The effect of all such insults is to diminish the writer.

Must make him unique on here then.

As it appears to be of interest to you, Mr Harding taught me Geography. Excellent bloke. Also refused to allow me to study Economics & Sociology - not the done thing - so I ended up with Economics & Accounting and a career (?) in finance. But on the more relevant bit, speaking as a resident of...

It was a serious question - I have no idea what they did/didn't do.

As a matter of interest, did the local paper in Northampton "take a position" on the move to Sixfields?

Coventry v Spurs, League Cup, mid '90's. Losing 2-0 at half time with Spurs dominating. The "just back from injury but not really fit" Dion Dublin came on at half time, atmosphere changed completely, we won 3-2. Gave me a lot more enjoyment than the Ryder Cup, Liverpool v Milan etc etc

One of our biggest problems this season (in the games I've seen) has been the isolation of the strikers. I remember Nouble breaking clear on the right in the first half, looking up and there being no Cov players in, or even near the box. As a number of people have said, we looked much less...

Ah - crossed wires.... I thought that you meant that you thought (Remember "Little does she know, that I know, that she knows....") that Tugday scored this season against Cardiff! I remember that game. Finishing with a midfield of Fowler, Pead and Betts. Home grown stars that would provide our...

Wasn't that Miller?

Thanks for bringing back that awful memory!

Sounds like an extreme version of the Robert Jarni episode....

My scilence can be bought!! :)

Stranded in sunny Crete :), give the lads a cheer for me!

I thought that Willis, Haynes and O'Brien (in that order) did OK. We didn't look particularly troubled in defence, but with so many players back so much of the time, I guess we shouldn't. For me, the biggest issue was that the front two couldn't hold the ball and they were so isolated from the...

Maybe it's down to semantics. What we need is "supporters" - to me, that's people who go to a high proportion of (at least) the home games. It's those that we have to worry about being "turned off", for whatever reason. I doubt that we'll ever be short of "followers" - to me that's people who...

Sorry, disagree. The point isn't related to "big games", it's related to "run of the mill games". Those are the ones that matter - there are many more of them!

Never forgave Megson for that. Second only to Nicky Summerbee on "my list"!

Isn't that always the way? My local side is Shrewsbury. They've just drawn Chelsea in the next round of the League Cup. Any guess as to whether the attendance will be lower or higher than their usual league gate?

Just before his injury there were rumours that the England manager (think it was Bobby Robson at the time) was looking at bringing him into the national squad.

If not for injury, Graham Oakey could have been a true Sky Blue legend at right back.
