It's wierd how stuff sticks to some and not to others. Every single party that has gone into government has broken manifesto promises. Difference is that those parties had a majority and so their manifesto's were what they intended to do and didn't. The Lib Dem manifesto was for a Lib Dem...

So what were the alternatives? 1. Form a coalition with Labour. This would've also been seen as a grab at power, but even more undemocratic because the party with the most votes wasn't part of the government. 2. They turn down both the Tories and Labour and they get accused of not being strong...

Northwood? I think we had Richard Wood or Neil Wood possibly at the same time but don't ever remember a Northwood

If Hickman hears there's a 'line' going he'll be mysteriously pulling a hammy to end up in the treatment room

Just to show the standard of the MLS I saw him play for Chicago Fire in a game and he was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch that day. Game also included the FM legend that was Freddy Adu and you could instantly see it was American's bigging him up because anyone who'd watched...

Not really - bit of a waste of money really and IMO Aloisi was a better bet. but the Villa Park goal does kind of make him immune because we all just went nuts that day. And there's the England WC penalty given away by Phil Neville....

I didn't think they'd be allowed to alter the diamond but I swear I read that's what they'd done - must have misread it. Maybe they just meant it looked like they had due to the huge foul area.

Only visited old Yankee stadium - was falling apart pretty much - during construction of the new one. Also done the Rogers Centre and Wrigley Field. Really liked the Wrigley tour - it was really friendly and hence why I adopted the Cubs as my team - and so was Rogers. Yankee stadium it felt like...

I'd happily swap him for Collins.

Unless they managed to hit it in bounds before it went past the base, at which point the ball is still in play and they can run. They brought the foul lines in to counteract the slightly smaller outfield but it didn't seem to work. It seemed to me that the LF, CF and RF were more spread out...

With the 4-4-2 that would probably suit him more - couldn't Hiwula probably next to Max as well? And although I know some will slate me for this, but Ponti is a very good finisher if that's all we're looking for, plus he's taller and stronger.

Stupid thing is I know that - I was at both games! Complete brain fart.

That's how it used to be - as long as part of you was behind the line you were on - no idea why they changed it. Unfortunately all it does then is change the emphasis of where the margin is - what if their other foot is really close to the offside line but the heel may/may not be offside?

Yeah, they say you're being sexist by doing it whereas in fact they're the sexist ones by expecting me to react differently to the women. With the men I'd be screaming "you're shit!" at them for a misplaced pass, not saying "never mind - it's OK" I'm all for equality but that means taking the...

Who says we didn't lose any points through not scoring? There were games we missed a hatful of chances and didn't win or even lost. Towards the end of the season Burge's confidence had definitely gone, but it's not like we were a shoe-in and dropped out. It's just as easy to say had the...

If the fee is correct and up-front I think I'd sell. He might come good, but there wasn't much evidence of it last season. Not as quick as we were told he was. Supposedly a poacher who spent most of his time dropping deep. Doesn't suit the managers preferred system. Ended last season on the...

Aren't most of Wembley's seats red though? I thought they might've complained about the space between the foul lines and the edge of the playing area - it looked much bigger than usual.

It does seem a bit like that. Unless she's hoping to do like the first season they took over when they brought in some decent players on long-isg contracts and when we didn't go up sold them for a profit which completely fucked us for years. That's the trouble with owners like that - always...

In that case Eastwood and McAllister must feature heavily. Special mention for Lee Hughes even if we did get half the fee back - we still lost £2.5m but it could've been more had he still been with us when he got convicted.

I agree about us not getting a better keeper in (though MR signed LOB as Burge's replacement and we've extended Addai's contract when we could've had a completely fresh break). Personally I felt LOB was inferior to Burge because he never came off his line to close down angles making it easier...
