    It's just banta innit

    The reduction does seem pretty lenient and I think it's about time a lot of the students got some kind of perspective on actions having consequences - it's becoming far too common nowadays that they'll whinge about something or other being extenuating factors for poor results, or poor lecturers...

    Ben Stevenson - Colchester

    As far as I know Sambou is top scorer for Everton U23 and playing regularly for them, and expected to earn a new contract. Whether he actually gets a chance in their first team and is a success is another matter - I think eventually he'll have to drop down if he actually does want first team...

    Ben Stevenson - Colchester

    Agree entirely, and I hope future prospects take heed of this in their careers. Thomas I can kind of understand as it was his home town club and when Harries left Swansea looked certain to be relegated and maybe he felt he'd have a chance due to players wanting out at the end of the season?

    Ben Stevenson - Colchester

    Yep - what I saw of him as a youngster I never foresaw what has happened since. At most I expected him to forge a lower league career based on his willingness to work and learn. Fair play to him for how far he's gone since, especially given the two ACL's. Took a sensible progression where he...

    Ben Stevenson - Colchester

    I think Bayliss is better than Stevenson but nowhere near Maddison. If he left he have to do it the same way IMO - Championship club and see how he gets on. At the moment I wouldn't say he's setting L1 alight. I also don't think he glides past players effortlessly - he more often than not...

    Why do we keep doing community days during the coldest/darkest part of the year? Even at cheap prices a lot of people are just going to say "no thanks". Plus the kids just sit there feeling cold and puts them off going again. Do it during a time the weather will more likely be decent and you'd...

    I think it being at home makes a huge difference - it puts way more pressure on IMO. Yes, on the two Wembley trips we did make up a large percentage of the crowd but I just think being at home makes them feel that expectation more.

    Start of the second half / Lack of attention

    Plane thick - he's in a holding pattern going round and round in circles.

    The official NFL Thread

    I think Brady values it more as he was a relatively low draft and knows it could all have been so different. That's why he won't retire whilst his team are still competitive - if anything he'll end up more like Favre and go on too long. Hence why I'm rooting for the Rams despite that dodgy...

    Venezuela

    Didn't take them long to start making it about the oil did it? Even though there appear to be severe doubts about the legality of the election how can you just then declare the opposition leader the winner. If it was a fraudulent election the only thing you can call for is a rerun election...

    Five percent of UK adults in denial about Holocaust

    Doesn't tend to work very well for economic data, as it's so unevenly distributed, and also age doesn't work well especially in global terms.

    Community day - big crowd = poor performance and heavy defeat. Can see this being the day the fans lose patience and a pretty horrific atmosphere by the end. Team: _________________Burge Sterling___Hyam_____Willis/Davies____Mason Thomas__Kelly___Bayliss/Westbrooke___Enobakhare...

    I'll say it

    But that in itself is a problem. Without Doyle the team doesn't seem to have that mental strength or on-pitch leadership. With him in the team he sits too deep and we're forced back and unable to create the chances or have one isolated attacker and the ball keeps on coming straight back at us...

    Burge

    Maybe, but the strikers were still missing chances when Burge wasn't making errors. Personally, it's far harder for a defender than a striker. You can play like a hero for an entire game, slip in injury time and cost your team. Strikers can be useless and have a shot hit them on the arse and...

    Five percent of UK adults in denial about Holocaust

    I believe both happened, with pre-recorded footage taken as a back-up in case something went wrong with the camera feed etc. Can you imagine if they's had the news and said "now we go live to the moon landings" and the picture just went blank? There'd have been even more conspiracy theories than...

    I'll say it

    Yes it was (but in a friendly way :)) Fair enough you only saw the one deflection and didn't know who it came off, but given that there wasn't another player in Sky Blue within 5-6 yards of it when it happened I'd have thought it'd be pretty easy to deduce it wasn't Chaplin ;) Anyway, it's all...

    I'll say it

    Talking about the deflection, I was assuming you meant a deviation as it went past Chaplin (i.e. a second deviation after the first from the defender's deflection) as you couldn't argue it was caused by Chaplin if it happened five yards before it reached him. Another thing that proves is we...

    Burge

    Burge and the defence are making more mistakes recently but is this because they're becoming nervous because they've lost all confidence in the strikers scoring and think if we don't keep a clean sheet we've got no chance of winning? Then they let one in and get even worse because they think if...
