    Ideal Permanent Premier League

    I reserve the right to change these clubs if I move. Was it Hardenhuish or Sheldon? I did some teacher training in both in the mid 80s.

    Chelsea are looking to acquire Dijon Sterling after we released him.

    Rule Changes for Next Season

    Next season for FA cup games there will be a panel assessing all dives at the end of the game. The team with the best dive will be awarded 1/2 goal. This is to obviate the need for replays, extra time and penalties.

    Signing Season

    Agreed. It's shocking how many other clubs do no scouting themselves and just read SBT to decide who they want to sign.

    Specials new album

    Anyone heard it? The single has been on radio 6 a few times and I briefly listened to a few tracks - but I have to say I found it poor.

    Where do you lie politically

    Economic Left/Right: 1.0 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.85 Pretty much the same result as last time I did one of these tests.

    Judging players against their own potential, rather than performance. Burge 7 - so he failed to stop a header... he had the gumption to at least pretend that he'd been fouled. Distribution, as ever, shite. Sterling 4 - have we taken this kid backwards? Willis 7 - I really rate Willis and I...

    Breaking- New Consortium Bid

    One would have to assume that this plays little part in the decision to hold onto the club. When valuing an asset one has to look at potential future P/L, not historic cost. I imagine (but don't know, clearly) that SISU think: 1) Continuing to hold CCFC strengthens their hand in compensation...

    Video Peterborough v Coventry

    By the time he swung at it, it was at waist height - falling over Thomas's head. Thomas had already won the ball - appalling play.

    Video Peterborough v Coventry

    Extended highlights now available from the official Twitter page. The Thomas incident looks even worse than I remember it. Lee Tomlin kicks very high from behind without any chance of getting the ball. Very reckless and dangerous play: the EFL needs to take a look at this and take appropriate...

    Burge 2 - failed when questioned and distribution as ever terrible. Sterling 5 - I thought he was poor today. Willis 8 - performed well I thought, taking responsibility often. Davies 6 Mason 5 - would be interesting to see his pass-completion stats, must be close to 0% Kelly 7 Bayliss 7 Hiwula...

    I didn't go, or watch the game on stream, or listen to it on the radio. I didn't even glance at the updates on the BBC website: Burge 7 - not much to do Sterling 7.5 - an extra point for the bicycle kick - the first bicycle kick I've ever imagined from just inside our own half whilst under no...

    Stockdale/Burge

    I think you are all being quite unrealistic in your expectations for our regular keeper. The quality of players we have for any extended period is going to be lower across the board given the league in which we play and the wages we pay. However you won't necessarily notice that in all...

    Scunthorpe Away - Time's Up

    ... "Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence. " So you're suggesting that the team should forget footy and focus on procreation?

    Agree Nick, Doyle is no replacement for Kelly when he's playing as he has been last few games. What makes it worse is that Doyle demands the ball and then does nothing with it. Even Sterling was poor today. 5 all round except Doyle who gets a 4 and Hyam who gets 7.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I'm glad to see that you haven't become less monotonically negative and miserable whilst I've been away, Tony. There is poverty everywhere - every single country. And I already pointed out exactly the same point when quoting the Gini Coefficient (because poverty = inequality, they are both...
