    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    That's him! Starts with a 'G'.... ahem... :)

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Well remembered, but not the one I was thinking of (or imagining, possibly). Think he had longish hair, name might have started with 'G'. Blimey, I'm hopeless.... sorry!

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Who was that Italian(?) bloke we had for a while, not Dimi, kind of tall and lanky (and hopeless, iirc!). Or this just my early onset dementia kicking back in? Nurse!

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Always Oggy for me, played in the top division forever, behind defences that weren't always top quality, and rarely made any howlers. And all that over an epic number of games. Kirkland next, imho, if it wasn't for the injury problems I think he might have had a truly stellar career. Westwood...

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    I'd expect a one-year deal, a bit more expensive, and possibly with some contingency around settling the court fees in a timely manner. What are the odds that they make it subject to a non-disclosure agreement, so we can't find out the full details. That would probably suit Wasps if the price...

    Tommy Robinson

    Evidence please. I've pointed to a well researched argument that shows any number of instances where he's either been involved in violence or implied that it's coming to those he doesn't like. Where is your proof other than in your head? So prove that the 'state' has tried to threaten or...

    Tommy Robinson

    And this is the stuff that needs challenge. Specifically then, when has the state tried to silence Robinson, other than when he's actually broken the law? Links please, or you're making it up... He's not a heroic rebel, a little man standing against oppressive authority, he's a criminal thug...

    Tommy Robinson

    Totally accept where you're coming from on PR, just not so keen on promoting the 'authorities are preventing Tommy's right to free speech' spin that he and his supporters always try to pitch. I'd agree that it's daft that in general elections particularly, FPTP means a large part of the...

    Tommy Robinson

    What makes you think that the criminal thug doesn't have the right to stand as an MP or Councillor? And when was his voice taken away, exactly? I'm all for free speech, but when it's clearly designed to provoke hatred and violence then it should be challenged, and if against the laws of the...

    Liam Kelly - First name on the teamsheet

    I wouldn't claim to have seen enough games this season to make a call on it, but he's always looked a very tidy player when I've seen him. He was at another level completely in the first half of the Portsmouth game though, at the centre of everything and always keeping the ball moving. I hope...

    Many thanks. It was the most polite one I could come up with. :)

    "Ideally"? Blimey, that's a long way away from "we'd never do a deal that would harm the club", eh. Ideally, the best thing the Council could do is to shut their holes before anyone notices what a mendacious shower of shite they are.

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    The trust have done somewhat less than the average fan, I'd argue, given their remarkable attitude towards avoiding criticising anyone other than the owners. It'll be interesting to see how Wasps are regarded by the average fan if they start to turn the screw on the club now that the legals...

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Personally, I think the Sunderland rivalry is kind of an invented thing to give the knuckle-draggers from both sides an excuse for crap behaviour. I don't remember it being anything like as hostile until the recent years of bigging it up on the internet. Either way, I can't see many teams...

    Match Thread Portsmouth vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Monday 22nd Apr

    I don't think this is one to blame on the coach, either the player's confidence is shot or he's simply not capable. Zonal marking doesn't help relieve the pressure much for him, but that winner was an individual error imho...

    Sky waxing lyrical about our 'fluid front four', and today at least I think they're right, we look great. However, for me it's Kelly who is really keeping us ticking, he's having a superb game imho. More of the same please :)

    Legals Update This Week / SISU Lose chance to appeal

    Please Lord, let this be the end of the legals. I'm perhaps one of the few people here who doesn't mind seeing the Council dragged into court, I think they've got a lot to answer for, but trying to escalate this up to the European courts whilst things are as they are, is madness. In truth I'm...

    So it begins....

    I think that's a bit unfair mate, I've worked with a good few Sunderland fans over the years, and ended up drinking in a couple of pubs up there the last time we played. They're like us, the vast majority are entirely decent and can certainly take a joke or two at their own team's expense...

    Woodlands

    Come off it, I've lived in the area for fifteen years and drive up and down Broad Lane every day. Even at weekends crossing the A45 is a bottleneck at both Tile Hill Lane and Broad Lane (pop up there at around midday on Saturday and see for yourself). Getting an additional 20,000 people up...
