I did think of him after posting - Bristol definitely got a lot more out of him than we did (although he has blown pretty hot and cold throughout his career)

I think on the whole I'd agree with you - we are steadily becoming more tolerant as generations go by. But people do, for some reason, seem to think differently as they age. A number of pensioners were hippies/children of the 60's which was about tolerance and love. There was an increased...

Whoever MR brings in up front I just hope he plays to their strengths. He seems to be adept at bringing in strikers and not playing to their best attributes, at least initially. McNulty - looked poor in MR's preferred formation until injuries forced him to pair him with Max when he flourished...

So do yoy think MR should've just walked away because Walker wasn't coming in the building that very second and just carried on down his list of targets until he got to the first one that would sign immediately even if it's not someone he really wanted? You talk about last year but when it...

Isn't Lincoln nearer Nottingham than Cov (Birmingham)?

But he did get 9 players in very early on. Mowbray just kept waiting....and waiting....and waiting. Yes, it's frustrating that it's a position we struggled with last year but there will be other irons in the fire - remember Armstrong and how late he came in? As long as MR doesn't panic buy in...

Oh well. If he's off to Lincoln so be it. The reviews were very reminiscent of Chaplin last year and if we couldn't get him knocking them in there's no guarantee Walker would either, even if he scores a hatful at Lincoln. Only real disappointment is that we're now a bit light up front. I can...

I'm just pointing out it was a very well known chant so was surprised he didn't know about his condition.

From the business perspective I agree, but football clubs are much more than businesses and have a vital community role and those are the ones who're punished. Once one mega-rich owner comes in and decides to splash the cash almost everyone else then has to to some degree and almost no-one...

How could you not know this? (t's rather infamous that when he came back the fans chant for him was "There's only two Andy Goram's"

It was mooted to shut down the academy before SISU took over as well and we were deep in the shit.

I believe he did say he would do if he took over. However, SISU were going to shut it down because it was a cost with little benefit. Then Wilson got sold and they seemed to see it's potential.

But there has also been instances in the past where we have waited until we've signed a replacement only to then have the outgoing players transfer not go through because the team have switched to other targets. We've then been left with a disgruntled player using up part of the playing budget...

Despite the many personnel changes I think it'll largely be where we left off last season - look good, control the game and create chances, not score them. Win by a single goal, either 1-0 or 2-1. ----------------------Marosi Dabo------Hyam*--------McFadzean------Mason...

So you're agreeing with me? I mentioned it because the preview reckons Bolton will stay up, albeit flirting with relegation. Personally I can't see it myself with the points deduction - too much to do in their situation I reckon.

I heard that the initial batch of those towels had an error and the last e was missed off. Thankfully they were able to get rid of them quite quickly by giving them to players like Andre Wright, Vernam, Agyei, Yakubu, Turnbull, Folivi, Rawson, Kwame, Gadzhev, Reid........

Yes there is a process that is followed, and undoubtedly evidence is provided. But surely you've noticed that when they present this evidence they appear to expect us to just hand over the suspect immediately. If we review the evidence and decline extradition their response is largely one of...

Read it properly. I said the US is acting like colonial Britain did (who were massively instrumental in forging the USA pre-independence) in giving it the Bertie Big-Bollocks and expecting everyone to toe their line. The analogy was that of a teenager fed up of their parents rules and wanting...

This is a very good example. We also find similar with arrest warrants - if the US issues a warrant for a British citizen they expect us to hand them over immediately. If we issue one for an American they tend to fight it. They don't see us (or anyone else for that matter) as an equal trading...

I'm not arguing about that - you made the point of why don't the EU just tell us to fuck off - I explained why. We still have to work with them afterwards so why create tension where it is unnecessary. I agree that on much of the things you'd hope basic human decency would shine through, but...
