    It's a moot point I suspect, but I'd have him back like a shot. Certainly has tons of potential, just needs to get a steady run of games somewhere to see if that can be turned into regular performances. I think he'd fit SP's high-tempo, high-pressing game rather nicely, imho.

    Hurray! Sorry, did I say that out loud... ;)

    You're going to get a lot of traffic HH. I'd go for Alhambra, Phoenix and Fletch if you've got anything. :)

    Looks like we're back

    Cheers HH, that brings back some memories - staggering down from The Old Red Horse, past The Mercers, into the East Stand, ten minutes late for kick-off, as usual. ;)

    Great to have some stuff like that Torchy, linking the generations. If nothing else, it shows that the one constant at the club is the fans, and how closely they hold it to their hearts. When it's time to pass it on, you've got to make the lad promise not to sell it to fund a weekender in...

    Looks like we're back

    I think that's what I'd vote for, personally. I can't understand how a couple of years on from the £9bn Olympics there isn't any desire or capability to keep that kind of facility. Where's the "legacy"? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a swimmer myself, but we're as far from the sea as you can...

    Looks like we're back

    Not denigrating the OP, and I'd love it to be true, but it just feels like we've down this road a few times already. Here's hoping though. :)

    I'll give you this, it's much better when you come out straight, rather than just making snide asides and trying to hide the insults. I'm not going to try to convince you that I love the club - that would be a waste of time. For someone who claims to have observed a lot of posts my though, you...

    Review from Sideways Sammy

    Interesting that you're now pretending that a post directly quoting me, actually wasn't aimed at me. Why are you backtracking Grendel? I was going to let rip here, but honestly, man-to-man, what you're doing is really pretty sad. There's no insult I could throw at you that you haven't heard...

    Because you responded directly to my post, quoting it in your response.

    Come off it - I was just trying to politely point out to LJC that he might be winding people up a bit with some general comments. He seems to be pretty good at defending himself with regard to individuals - I'm leaving them to it. If I wanted to make a general point, it's this: Some people...

    Yep, see what you're saying. Fwiw I predicted (but didn't bet on!) England and Uruguay to go through the group stages, and Brazil to win it. Shows what I know, eh. ;)

    Review from Sideways Sammy

    LJC - unless you're really determined to become disliked, you've got to ease off on this stuff about claiming to know more about football than everyone else. It's bound to get people snapping back. You get stuff wrong, like we get stuff wrong. You can point to your opinion, and support it...

    "Protest" Scarves

    Must confess I was confused for a moment - but then I re-read and got the samples idea. I hadn't made the connection to the NTFC colours. Now that would have been provocative. Funny though. ;) I like Red & Green. Stands out, and are the colours of the City. Be happy to wear it even when...

    "Protest" Scarves

    Good work on this Nick. Fwiw I voted for no badges, this on the basis I think we need to keep it as simple as possible and minimise any scope for potential disagreement.

    cf also George Best, and Jim Morrison. It always flags the beginning of the end, facial hair. ;)

    McQuoid Signs

    Ah - he didn't have a beard then though, did he? Look at how his career fell as his facial hair increased. It's linear, I tell you. :)

    Sisu pays council £100k

    Ah - you've got to laugh. There's no way that you can separate Otium and SISU - all of the same people are involved, under the ultimate control of JS. The club can't expect ACL to have them back at the Ricoh whilst the court case is in play. It doesn't matter how damning the verdict is, if...

    McQuoid Signs

    I'll start. What the hell kind of name is McQuoid? There's no way anyone with that kind of name is going to do well. And has he got a beard? I bet he has. There hasn't been a good player with a beard since Socrates. Is that enough to get things moving. ;)

    Review from Sideways Sammy

    All fair enough that, I wouldn't disagree with any of it. Although the thing about footy, as you've said elsewhere, is that you can do all of the research you want and still not get it right. I've got some fantastic statistical tools at my disposal, courtesy of the work I used do. I used to...
