As I said in the other thread, no they didn't. Friargate has always had space earmarked for at least one hotel since its inception a decade ago. The land and the potential usage has been there all that time. It's been showcased at various exhibitions numerous times during that period so the...

He's made a very good start but it's way too early to be making comparisons. With his really big pace you've really got to make sure we don't over-use him and bring on injuries. Anderson looked a bit wayward early on in his career and Broad can be incredibly frustrating with his over-use of the...

We'll find out this morning if yesterday's comeback was good or not when we see us batting. Headingley can be very difficult to bat on and the Aus attack is good. I can't see Roy lasting long either. I'd still have Denly opening if for no reason that he might hang around a bit longer.

We seem to like signing attacking midfielders possibly coming out of contract with hare in the name..

Let's not have another see-saw argument in this thread please

Nope.He was bought in as back-up because Oggy was very close to retirement and Kirkland was at the opposite end of the scale but Oggy eventually ended up as main back-up keeper as he clearly hadn't impressed much - think Ogogo and Brown last year brought in on long term decent contracts and...

It is on topic - Grendel's wrong but won't let it slide.

Hyldegaard was considered our back-up keeper that year, ahead of Oggy (at the start of the season at least). Kirkland was only just out of the academy and although highly rated was not considered close to first team ready at that point. So what if we had that many players 20 years ago - we...

It was more of a rivalry around the 1990's becuase it was often just us and Villa in the top flight. Birmingham, Wolves and West Brom were in the 'wilderness' like we are now at the time so we were the closest team. Had any of those come up during that time our rivalry would have sat on the back...

Ah the usual Grendel deflection. You said we had a small squad - I showed we didn't. You said 20 years ago players like those in the squad wouldn't have a squad number - I proved they did. I mentioned Quinn, Kirkland and Strachan's etc as nowhere near the first team because they were as far...

Actually it's from my own spreadsheet and most weren't awarded shirts for the final game. A few weren't given them at the start of the season (Mehmet had to be an emergency sub on game ). Some of them never even made the bench. While I'm not familiar with how every one of them liked to play or...

If you believed the statement of doing a deal. Given the numerous different options mooted it seemed clear to me they had no real clue what a deal would be or even if they could get it. It was all guesswork. We could still trade with them without being in the EU - it'd just be on off-the-shelf...

Exaclty. All the other stuff is not necessarily part of leaving the EU - it's an ancillary and separate process. We were told we'd do a deal like Norway, not that we would do Norway. We were also told stuff about being like Switzerland and Canada as well as many other. Nothing concrete, just...

Yes they left because the manager wanted them out, but they were unhappy at not playing while they were still here. Doyle could've refused to leave and run his contract out as could JCH. Ogogo had a nice long-term contract to sit on and was being paid - he could've also chosen not to leave. They...

But a squad of 25 would be a small squad, even if they were all experienced pro's. But you'd go for that despite complaining a squad of 40 is too small. Players aren't disgruntled if they're paid - Junior Brown, Abu Ogogo, JCH, Andreu, Doyle, Davies, O'Brien - all players from the last 12...

Good thing about migrants statues is they don't have any freedom of movement at all! Or are you talking about those annoying people that spray themselves silver and stand still? In which case yes, they should be registered and monitored 24/7. And tasered if they move an inch.

Yes, because no-one had actually fleshed any of these options out as to what they actually entailed or if they were even possible. This was going on within the camp wanting to leave, let all those that didn't or the EU. So it all meant nothing. The only statement we had was "leave the EU", so I...

Are we paying them to be professional footballers for CCFC? Yes, so they're part of the squad. Just because they're young and inexperienced doesn't mean they don't count. Bolton had to play us with much younger and less experienced players and got a draw. Or do you think we should completely...

So what to you is a large squad? I'd say 37 plus a kid not yet on pro terms and with another three out on loan is not small.

Even when it was just us playing there post winter it wasn't a great surface, but better than since the rugby was also played on it. It's definitely not had the upkeep it used to (although it used to frustrate me that even on freezing winter days the sprinklers would be on before the game, at...
