We had a decent team for a few year apart from consistently having Shaw and Williams at CB. Some transfers just didn't come off, others we were unlucky with (Clement getting injured for example) but the consistent pairing of those two stopped us progressing. I'm not knocking their effort or...

I'd take an indifferent period that involved winning the PL a few years ago!

Another that sticks in my mind, but not for good reasons, is the Crewe JPT semi. We actually played really well, had loads of chances and lost 3-0. I am still utterly baffled by it. Similarly Sheffield utd FA Cup quarter. Should have won it at a canter but coasted most of the game and they got a...

Because what if the keeper is incredibly skinny?

I read that thinking "I don't remember us singing anything to the tune of Kylie and Jason? And Mark Hughes never played for us."

Borussia Monchengladbach sing that. It's their only song.

Maybe it was folded and we couldn't see all of it. "We'll Be Outback"

No, but weirdly I do remember the 0-0 last game in the Prem against bradford. Maybe because it was our last PL game. Maybe it stands out because it was SO dull it made it interesting. Took a couple of friends who weren't particularly football fans but wanted to go to a game before we came down...

If away fans moved to the north stand then singers corner would just migrate to the other corner to be next to them again. Only way that you might try to get them behind the goal is to designate that as the safe standing area if and when we get one. And although the north stand has the...

Nah, it was to connect Birmingham Airport to Central London and increase London's air passenger capacity. The rest was just hot air to make it seem like they were doing it for the country as a whole

We all know why really. No way are MP's going to put London on the bottom of the list. It should have started at the north and worked it's way south. History has shown with canals, railways, motorways, and even internet that major infrastructure projects have a massive impact on the fortunes of...

I take it you're offering? Like you, my instinct would be to be more demanding and ask these sort of questions. I also know that if I did I'd be ignored and would not be invited to take part. They don't have to tell me anything even if I do supposedly represent a certain part of the fanbase...

Even if they did move the segregation would then just be in the corner at the other end and those in Singers Corner would migrate next to them again. But they'd have the sun in their eyes.

I'm not dismissing their concerns. I've said earlier in this thread that it will have some negative consequences. But if you have concerns you have to have something to back them up. And much of the hard evidence on the effect of immigration is that it has a positive effect, and where it does...

No wonder it's bloody crowded up there - almost as many cops and stewards as fans!

Fair enough, the graph shows that more people want immigration to come down that go up. But you don't get to then extrapolate that as being the will of the people by ignoring those in the middle. It is literally your comprehension of the words. "Remain the same as it is" is not a don't...

You'd think Parker would know how to make something close knit.

There argument would clearly be that if there are empty seats in the stadium why have fans close together and allow them to antagonise each other. What they don't get is that segregation actually emboldens them to antagonise fans even more because they think they're safe. Like the dickheads at...

No, you don't ignore the people in that bracket. It's asking people if they want more or less immigration. If you're going to make the statement that most people want less immigration you have to only take those that specifically say they want immigration to be lower and put it against the...

It literally doesn't say that at all. Nowhere does it even hint to suggest that people want less immigration. It hints much more strongly that they don't. It's not some left-leaning consensus twisting it, it's literally what it says. It's an absolute statement - "remain as it is". That...
