    If you were offered second now ...

    For me, it's the trophy itself which I think is the old one? When I was a child in the 70s (first match Boxing Day 1970) the football league trophy was the ultimate, along with the FA cup. It was unthinkable that CCFC would ever win it. When we won the cup in 87, I shouted up to George Curtis...

    Women's Boxing in the Olympics

    That makes no sense. If you have a point to make then do so with clarity. Otherwise sit down and accept you were wrong.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    That can also be true. Two things can be true at once. Of course the RW media have it in for the BBC. Doesn't give the BBC a free pass. The arrogance of the BBC commentariat marking their own homework is breathtaking.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    This story is not about Trump. It's about systemic bias in reporting and the wider output of the BBC. They need to address that or they're in cyclical crisis mode and probably on the way out.

    Things that annoy you

    Calling the ground the floor. When did that become a thing? It's not even difficult. Outside = ground. Inside = floor.

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    We're not - was a reply to the specific point that 'we' are affected by hikes in match tickets. Most of us are not, as we have season tickets and don't go to away games. This is an undisputable fact. It doesn't mean we don't care. I think you jumped in without reading the message I was...

    Not replying to all that straw man. It bears no resemblance to what I said.

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    You are the one who raised the issue of this affecting us. You said, "we'd be paying". I merely pointed out that it wouldn't affect most of us. I genuinely feel for folk who struggle to afford tickets but I believe season tickets are the answer for most of us. For the rest it's supply and demand.

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    We're wont as most of us don't go to away games. Therefore the price of away tickets doesn't affect the majority of us. Also the majority of us have season tickets so we are not affected by price of match tickets. I just paid £90 to take 2 family members to Boxing day game. Happy to pay it. If...

    Matchday Ticket Prices

    Supply and demand. It's simple economics. Pay the asking price or someone else will.
