    An English national anthem.

    Indeed and no worries. :) The words to God Save the Queen have little in common with modern day life do they, especially after the first verse. ;) I like Jerusalem, just have a problem with the title. ;)

    have we got the upper hand

    Yeah, me too. Never had any problem with Walsall and it seems a pretty well run club. We were exhausted on Tuesday for sure. Why? Not sure exactly. Maybe TM gave them some time off? Ring rusty? Thought first half we looked completely in control and we should have put the game to bed. Second...

    An English national anthem.

    That is Exactly my point! Not saying I believe this BBC effort at explanation at all, but it shows the ambiguity here. As I say, it is just the title. Can you imagine the looks on schoolkids' faces when for the first time ever they are told the national anthem of England is Jerusalem! Seems...

    Burton Albion (Home) Match Thread

    Not sure Lameiras is the man for this game. Will be more of a physical battle than Walsall I would have thought. We need battlers as much as anything else. Think Hunt may be in with a shout. I know Murphy can be a bit lightweight, but would prefer him in there for his pace. Lameiras could get...

    An English national anthem.

    I know what it means! Just said so. I am saying the TITLE has nothing to do with England. I understand the connotation of the tune, but Jerusalem is in the Middle East. I am talking about the title. On paper it just looks daft. The English national anthem's title being the name of a city in the...

    Well, basing my thoughts on what has been said about Lorentzson. If he's all they say he is then he will surely have to be first choice right back. I think Ramage is just cover because we are so painfully thin at the back at the mo.

    have we got the upper hand

    And there's Tony Mowbray's team talk right there!! ;)

    An English national anthem.

    Can see that if course, but it's called Jerusalem! A song for England called Jerusalem! How daft does that sound! Is there any other anthem anywhere in the world where the title of the tune has absolutely nothing to do with the country it represents?

    Singers corner

    As long as it doesn't come out as Muller Corner I don't care!

    Singers corner

    What's wrong with Singers' Corner Stu? It is where the fans sing, it is in the corner and we used to actually be Singer's FC. Sounds perfect to me.

    Joe Cole

    Think most people ARE giving them a chance, but I think we all accept that Ricketts is a much better right back than Phillips and Stokes much, much better than Haynes. I think as soon as Lorentzson is fit he'll be in at right back, with Ricketts at centre back. That will also enable Stokes to...

    Ha ha! Hello Sir Edward! Couldn't resist could you! ;)

    Joe Cole

    I think it would be good if we could send him on loan to a club who would be willing to play him as a left midfielder.

    Chris Stokes

    Sorry, I thought he wasn't very old, so had him down in the best young player category.

    Official January transfer window for CCFC

    As long as we don't get two weak centre backs and strikers I'll be well happy!
