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...

That's very nice. What does it mean? If it's an ECG reading I suggest you consult a doctor.

I agree to an extent that he didn't have the impact expected. Also as that massive signing it seemed like the tactic was the team had been told we had to play everything through him and teams cottoned on so just closely marked him and we were fucked. I also think he had a better footballing...

But he was truly truly shite. Burge looked like Dino fucking Zoff compared to him. This is about the worst ever signing - would you say Soton couldn't nominate 'George Weah's cousin' cos he was on a free and only played about 10 mins?

Yes - there is also how Robins will set things up and if it's not going to plan will he be willing to change it, or will he swap left backs with five minutes left again. I hope he gives them the freedom to attack the opposition even when we're winning because we look a much better team doing that.

Were you at the game with Tranmere?

Allsop - so good we put his name on everyone's elses shirt twice and three on his

How do you show multiplication in roman numerals? X X X = C?

As has been said it's difficult to say what's realistic, especially with new signings in key positions like GK. If the signings work out well there's no reason at all we shouldn't be looking towards the play-offs minimum right now. I think McFadzean will be an adequate replacement for Willis...

He's playing to the crowd that will get him elected - the Conservative party membership. Don't expect him to ever actually do it because it would be deeply unpopular with a majority of the public, who'd be the ones to elect him next time round. Opportunist prick.

Had a similar thing one Xmas with a relative whom shall remain nameless. I was sitting in the front room late at night and everyone else had gone to bed when I smelt gas and went into the kitchen to find said person leaning over the hob trying to light a cigarette (they were absolutely pissed)...

Do you think LOB or Addai should have been playing in his place and we'd have done better with them between the sticks?
