Perhaps Portsmouth will do a 180 when they hear.

This whole pulling the plug thing is an attempt to force Portsmouth's hand. Like a second-hand car salesman saying he's got other interested people coming in an hour.

Where had this story come from? Not doubting it, but if someone has inside knowledge can they spill the beans about incomings too?!?

Traditional motorways are pretty much lawless. People drive above the speed limit, tailgate, stay in the 'fast lane' when they should move over, stay in the middle lane all the time. To quote a song from Bros' Push album, it's a jungle out there.

They'll struggle to find a man of the same calibre.

Where do you live? And how much is your telly worth?

I think people dismiss the fact that Tony Andreu had a ratio of almost a goal every other game while at Hamilton and Dundee. He gets to that same level this season and he's our 20 goal guy. But instead of looking at positives, we naturally look at negatives. It's the way the human mind works.

Best obscure reference I've seen on here in years.

To be fair to the fella, he performed as expected. We knew he wasn't a goalscorer when we signed him.

The pessimism is understandable in the context of our last relegation, when we hadn't got a goalscorer. Until we get one (assuming he isn't already in the building) then people will continue to worry. The rest of the team looks competitive, though. It's just that final piece of the jigsaw we need.

Which is what most lower-league clubs do (or at least try to). I have no problem with that model, but it is reliant on a consistently good scouting policy. I'm doubtful we have that just yet. It seems only five minutes ago Pressley and Mowbray both bemoaned the fact that we had no scouting database.

Eddie Johnson was always my favourite waste of space. I never liked Ally Pickering either.

Now hold on a minute...

1 in 4 goal record across his career, but banged a few in last season.

The broken bit (again, imho) is consequences for actions. Broadly speaking, crime isn't solved. Vandlism, burglary, ABH, are all seen as minor events nowadays, and are not deemed worthy of wasting resources to investigate. Yet we hear the tired old argument that cannabis is illegal because users...

Two people who are irredeemable in my eyes are Billy Connelly and Victoria Wood. So unfunny they make me want to gouge out my eyes and stick knitting needles in my ears. The few that did redeem themselves include Phil Jupitus - he came across (imo) like an arrogant sod when he first started, but...

I used to use Oneshot drain cleaner due to dodgy pipes (not a euphemism). B&Q no longer sell it because of the acid craze, if that's what you call it. Normal people don't stock up on the stuff, but it does / did have a place in everyday life.

I only heard about this a couple of hours ago, and might not understand all of the context, but what I would say is those tweets are no different from shock value banter in the workplace. Imho it's just shitty humour, rather than anything more. And I understand that this is old news - he...

Chaplin is supposedly an up-and-coming talent. Someone with good resale value. Players like Madden don't have that potential imho. Solid enough, and you know what you're going to get, but they're not going to set the world alight. I'll freely admit, my knowledge of players at this level, even...
