The two keepers brought in seem a bit like-for-like with their replacements on first impressions. Bit surprised our back-up has so few appearances given their age. I'm always a bit wary when managers sign keepers and the first thing they say is "he's got good distribution" as usually it means...

5 inches taller? So he's 6'8''/6'9''!

I think that'd be our Waterloo....

You should have posted that twice for comedic effect

Don't expect it to be popular even if we went down the weird/camp route, but at least we'd get to have a laugh at us doing it. But whoever was doing it would have to know that was why we'd chosen them so they didn't take themselves so seriously. On which note I'd like to put forward James Blunt...

I've now just got images of a stoned Abominable Snowman in tie-die playing bongos in my head.

Should definitely treat the thing like the joke it is and send novelty acts or go for the 'oppressed minority' thing - guilt them into "if you don't vote for this you're racist/sexist/homophobic etc". I want our entry to be Brexit in a song - mash up of Blue doing "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest...

Sorry if I've misunderstood what you're saying, but i think the point was that knowing terracing was going to be given as a major factor and likely to be banned, there was going to be a huge increase in demand for seating as stadia were forced to become all-seater. Essentially if was a bit...

Yeah, there is the point that once it stops being 'naughty' it loses some of its appeal. But then I remember our attitude with alcohol and smoking (though the evidence suggests things improved after the licencing laws were relaxed). Places like France and Italy with a more relaxed attitude to...

I know a fair few people who find that first bit tough. It's not healthy to go from a heavy drinker to tee-total as your body can go into shock, but at the same time they couldn't stop once they'd started. It's a nightmare and well done for getting through it.

It's an issue I can't make my mind up on. On one hand the personal, family and societal effects of people addicted to alcohol and to some extent tobacco are far greater than those addicted to weed, but is that because of the greater numbers doing them because they're legal? I know a fair few...

When they've done those public consultations on the city centre/transport etc I've said a few times that they should have an electric bus doing a loop inside the ring road. No buses inside the ring road other than that - they stop at Pool Meadow or the station (ideally I'd shut Pool Meadow and...

I can definitely see the point on how they should approach Love Island - people attracted to do things like that just aren't well-adjusted to the world. Far too self-obsessed and vain to cope with actual reality. Spend their lives wanting to be famous and noticed and when they get it realise...

I agree with you completely about history and culture but that's not the point I'm making! I'm making the argument of what to spend the funding for the city of culture on. We could spend the lot on tarting up a building or two or on actual activities and things to do. Do a building up and...

Suddenly a lot of your responses on here make a lot more sense :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It's City of Culture 2021 - ie culture in the present day. It's not about what we USED to do, it's about what we do NOW. By all means adding a bit of cultural history in to show how it's changed over the years is great, but it shouldn't be the main focus. I'd prefer to see the money used to...

Not surprised -truly awful negative manager who sets a team out not to lose rather than try and win. Got away with it for a bit at Fulham due to funding and with Wales because he had Bale to nick a goal. Without those kind of advantages he's terrible. If he was in charge of Barcelona he'd set...

I'm not saying we should build something new and shiny - I don't think we should build anything at all. I'm saying it should be more about WHAT we do/have done rather than the structures they take place in. Obviously the museums etc are part of that. But also part of that is that our current...

I find with lots of people it's the willpower - they're fine not having a drink but when they have that one it quickly becomes two, then four......A couple of weeks ago a couple of friends went out for 'a drink' after finishing work only intending to go for one and be home within an hour or two...
