    Given there are far more kids on council estates it would actually be far more from council estates would make it rich.

    Addai

    Telling him it and him taking it on board are two very different things though. Until it's actually taken away from him maybe he just won't take it seriously.

    Can he be called Tom Thomas just to totally blow his mind to pieces. If not Terry Thomas might be another confusing one for him (though he'd probably end up calling him Thomas Terry).

    Hiwula

    It's quite nice to have some of those old terms like inside left being used again, even though it was a term when five forwards we playing against two defenders usually. Remember when we used to have the 'Beckenbauer' position - what I guess you'd now call a ball playing centre back. And when...

    Why did I write O2? I meant Wembley.

    Hiwula

    We do seem to have a far more flexible midfield/wingers that should mean we could play 4-4-2,4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. I think we're maybe a goalscorer away from being totally effective for 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 but not far off. At the moment, I'd go: 4-2-3-1 ------------Kelly-----Allen...

    Fantasy Football

    Some of the rules have changed over the years, like transfers, increasing/decreasing values over the season etc so some of the things I'd do probably aren't as helpful anymore. You probably already do some of these and seem self-evident,but as a general rule: Pick players who've had a few years...

    Addai

    For me Addai's biggest problem is his concentration. It might be that he's just got that languid/relaxed persona that can rile fans up a bit as it comes across as a lack of effort, but from what I've seen in the U23's I can't see him being our 1st team keeper. He's very young for a keeper but he...

    Mad Cow Disease

    Quite possibly - a tree a few hundred years old will store a lot of carbon. However, the release of that carbon I'd have thought would also be released more slowly as the wood rots down - the tree will last a lot longer than a cabbage rotting for instance. It's also eaten by insects and thus...

    Mad Cow Disease

    Now there's a Morrisey album! It's just got me asking so many questions now. Would coleslaw be mass murder/serial killing given it would have a large number of individual victims? Is a combine harvester a WMD?

    So where are they now?

    The problem with Clarke wasn't that he was rubbish, just not as good as he was hyped up to be when he was coming through, especially at a time when we'd produced a few half-decent full backs and he was supposedly the best of the lot. We've had worse. Willis looked shit for quite a while (albeit...

    Addai

    What I don't understand is that if we're sending him on trial with a view to a permanent transfer and the thing with MR is true, why did we bother activating his year extension? Why not just release him? I've also assumed that Bilson from last years U18 was given a contract as he's been moved...

    Callum Wilson to sign new 4 year contract with Bournemouth

    Not unless we've got more add-ons in terms of appearances/goals for Bournemouth, but unlikely to be anything like the amounts we could get if he's sold.

    Hiwula

    It's far too early to judge but Jobello has looked good in terms of crossing in the highlights thus far and can see him getting the LW position. I think MR will be spending a lot of pre-season trying out Hiwula, Baka, Chaplin and Max up front to see who feeds the best off the wide men and the...

    Fantasy Football

    Did it for years but stopped a couple of years ago because it became like Football Manager - an addiction that was taking up far too much time. Every season I'd get knackered by an injury to someone but when they changed it to allowing transfers anytime rather than in specific windows (which...

    Netball World Cup 2019

    It's a game I just can't get the rules - it just seems like you're not allowed to take the ball off someone at all and they'll find some spurious reason to give it back to the player. Bit like in infant school when a kid was given a ball and they didn't throw it or kick it properly so they were...

    England cricket 2019

    Rugby and football were the big ones for us as well because the PE teachers were more into it. X Country was also a big thing. We did play cricket and tennis but for nowhere near the same amount of time dedicated to the others. I think part of it is also the kit - getting changed into the pads...

    Moon Landing 50 Years Ago

    I reckon they recorded it as well as a 'just in case' should the live pictures have failed/broken up. Imagine the conspiracy theories had they gone up, not had any pictures and said " we did go up there, you've just got to take our word for it"? For me the fact the Russians didn't dispute it...
