I can see the two ACM's being two from Allen, O'Hare and Shipley, with the choice depending on the oppostion etc. If we're looking to control the game I reckon O'Hare will start, if we want to get off to a solid start I reckon Allen and Shipley could well be the desired pairing with O'Hare being...

Dacosta will almost certainly be the first choice back-up for Dabo unless he really fails to impress pre-season. Pask I think has been moved more towards his CB role at West ham rather than the WB MR brought him in for. If he plays wider it will be more from absolute necessity.

That's kind of the point. These players don't get their frailties exposed because of the teams that pick them up. Their defensive inability isn't shown up because they play for teams that don't need to defend as much. If you'd put Stones and Luiz into a team that doesn't control games and...

I certainly don't think they're 'top' players. Average at best, capable of the occassional bit of brilliance but far more capable of a monumental balls-up.

That something special is purely nostalgia. Any kid that went to their first match at the Ricoh and have seen most of their games there will feel the same way about that you do about HR, because for them that's what a football stadium 'should' be. We grew up expecting it to be surrounded by...

That's because of the teams that keep signing him because he's not too bad with the ball for a defender. But he's a poor defender. Same as John Stones. I maintain that if you put those two together in defence for an average team they'd turn into relegation fodder. Would be the same with...

All politics based. I doubt the club reveal much to the CT anymore (unless it's untrue) to deliberately create these kind of statements from fans. Rather give them to someone more sympathetic to their cause, like Reid. Give the CT a few bum steers and fans get the impression the paper doesn't...

Unless you piss like a horse then all you do is keep yourself up all night going to the loo and end up dehydrated and knackered the next day. Drinking water only works if you don't just piss it out again almost immediately.

He doesn't look like he's ever really settled anywhere and his scoring record is alright but nothing great. Didn't pull up any trees at Brentford. Big lad, but so is Baka. Not exactly one we'd be bringing in to develop for a fee given his age either. Would I be playing him up top instead of...

It's more to do with those putting economic concerns so far ahead of health concerns. In majority those will be the 'rich world' but places like Brazil and India which are focusing on economics are also lasting longer. But rather than question if it's the way we work our economies that's the...

Council officials have received a decent amount of hospitality from CCFC over the years too. Obv not recently with the animosity but stories i've heard of how much club money was spent on entertaining public officials back in the day from people who saw them happen. They reckon over the course...

It would've been a different spectacle BUT it might have affected the result. Big crowd seeing us getting closer is going to get nervous and that's going to translate to the players. Esp ones so out of form like Buttler and Woakes. I think the lack of a crowd may have actually helped us...

No building has soul. It's the people in it that give it one. So if it's soulless the place to look is those playing and filling it.

HOUSE! I've just lost my house!

Maybe we could get ours sponsored by the Italian energy company Powergen Italia

This is the problem with the one up front system. If you need the striker to do all that who's actually scoring the goals? Maybe we need to think about using the ACM's to do that a bit more to allow a striker to actually concentrate on scoring goals. IF it were to happen that would be Ponti on...

Great finish and two players so out of form with the bat to make the difference came out of nowhere. Then after the ball that got Pope there was nothing. As much as I love test cricket you can understand why many people can't get into it. Imagine going to a football match and your ticket meant...

Gender politics. Women play too and you can't call them batsmen. You don't call bowlers bowlsmen do you? If that's fine why an issue with batter?

They were very evasive over Ryton and the housing application and what this would mean. There is also the issue of being 'three weeks from buying land for a new stadium'.

I've got a family of robins in a nest box but they've been in there for ages. It's about time they fledged IMO
