    Arsenal and Liverpool in race to sign James Maddison (Independent)

    I seem to be in a minority of one in that I would never sell a player no matter what the fee unless I knew I had a like for like replacement for less.

    GMK Glitch or GMK Gone?

    Absolutely delusional. GMK was Stockholm syndrome embodied.

    Arsenal and Liverpool in race to sign James Maddison (Independent)

    Selling clubs never win anything, unless they replace with just as good for less. No need to sell him. Keep and add the just as good to build a successful team. All it needs is a Jimmy Hill to lead.

    Walsall game rearranged

    Time to change the rules then. Do real fans get any consultation on these rules or only people who are not affected by them? Travel to games by chauffeur driven car and park in VIP areas. Thought so.

    Walsall game rearranged

    Why? I want Saturday 3pm. I don't want to travel in sub zero temperature on the awful West Midlands motorway system when it is unnecessary. Sorry too old and tired for such devotion. No consideration for the fans, many of whom are old and tired like me. Answer my question, why not March or April?

    Walsall game rearranged

    The expected stupid decision. Only the ultras and those who live 10 minutes away want a midweek night match in early January. No doubt there will be snow or ice and they will close motorway junctions. I will give it a miss as I would get home after midnight. Why not schedule it for March or...

    Star Wars

    There is hype because the first ones in the 70s were events, yes they were hyped but they were also anti-films, deliberately dusty busted looking planets, not glossy scifi. People queueing round the block on Sunday. They are fun. I saw all the original three as a youngster and loved them. Saw...

    Job

    A bloke who sits behind me in block 21 thinks JOB is a god. If he misplaces a pass he claps anyway and shouts, "unlucky!" He then uses words like class, brilliant, fantastic, wow, to describe his every touch.

    Favourite Winter Record ?

    In the bleak midwinter ... Any decent choral recording but it would be hard to beat The Sixteen live in a Norman English church. Seeing them live in Oxford this Sunday. Sublime

    January Transfer Window

    Who would you sell if another club made an enquiry and offered a smallish fee that TM could use to get someone better?

    Seldom mentioned legends...

    David Cross, Graham Oakey, Danny Thomas, Mick McGuire. People need to realise that in the 70s we had our most successful sides, usually mid table but some good cup runs and few relegation scraps, bar the one that Sunderland fans are still wetting their pants over.

    Terrorist sympathiser here.......

    Labour has always left the country in a better state. People who believe the tories are good on the economy ignore public goods, such as roads, rail, hospitals, schools, libraries, parks and leisure, which all deteriorate significantly under Tory governments. It is one of the most corrosive...

    Terrorist sympathiser here.......

    Hilary benn

    If you did that it would be logical to make it part of a full reform taking out all unelected peers ... Hereditary, ex business leaders, party funders, ex MPs. Why single out bishops, who actually often make very valuable contributions to debates? Religion has many facets, good, bad and ugly...
