All feels a bit like a storm in a teacup to me. Robins will always be a legend for bringing the club back from the brink, being a bit grumpy after we've beaten his current team isn't going to change that. We obviously don't play for corners and throws, but we put teams under pressure and they...

Fair play to Simms there. Came on, got stuck in, got us the result. Chuffed to bits for him, and the team. I don't want to get too excited, but there's certainly no one in this division we need to worry about too much. Could it be?

Only scored one? Bah. Lampard out! 😁

I guess you don't really follow the news. Bore off.

Isn't the BBC already in enough trouble? Can you imagine the language? There's no asterisks in live broadcasting. 😄

I knew there would be someone hereabouts who would know that. Accountants, lawyers, musicians, tactical football geniuses, we've got the lot here.😄

I'm not sure if we're falling into conspiracy theory territory here. I don't think you'd need a microphone to hear a brass instrument in a quiet stadium (or even a loud one, thinking about England and the 'barmy army'), and having done the research, you can play the Last Post on a trumpet...

Which I noticed was how the chap was playing the trumpet last night. Didn't touch the keys at all that I could see. It will take someone who actually knows about brass instruments to tell me whether this is possible, in theory I suspect it is though...

Please tell me that's not true. In fairness, it didn't look like it, but then who remembers Top of the Pops. 😁

It was played on a trumpet last night, for some reason. I'm not a poppy perfectionist, but I did spot that on the telly when I was watching it. What's the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, you ask? About £1.50 when you weigh it in for scrap. 😁

Absolutely. What thrusting young New Yorker wouldn't want to swap "the city that never sleeps", for "God's (muggy) waiting room".

If he'd read the Lord of the Rings properly, he'd realise that the "Scouring of the Shire" was all about how a single, powerful, but evil man, having abjectly failed in his toadying support of an even more evil presence elsewhere, had taken it into his head to stir up a load of shit and make...

I've been talking to my Stoke supporting mate, and he says that he'd be very happy with a draw. His point was that they've been a bit lucky so far, they've been giving up chances but opponents haven't been taking advantage. (To be honest, I've felt the same about us more than once!) He thinks...

You're hitting the goalie, and they're going up the other end and getting the equaliser. Later, when you get out of the changing room showers, one of your new £100 trainers is suspiciously damp and warm. The other one is on the roof. 😁

Very frustrating. Thomas is having a good game at least. We can turn this around, no worries, Blades are going to start time wasting in the second half because Wilder can't resist a bit of cheating. That's going to give us the momentum back. At least that's what I'm hoping...

Erm... We're still top.

It's "luddite", and it's got nothing to do with the NHS. The "realists" ought to do some research before claiming their opinions as fact. Proportionally, the NHS has a lower proportion per capita cost than many of our European equivalents. Compared to the batshit US, well best not to go there...

Clearly, you have a long and prosperous career awaiting you in football media relations, should you wish, Pete. 😄

Leaving aside the reimbursement amount for a moment, can I just point out that having a ticket provides the right to attend, not the obligation to do so. If people decide to stay at home for the odd game, surely that's their business. Christ knows there's plenty of games I've been to in the...

I know it's only £945, but you cannot have the appearance of one rule for them and another for us. I think Reeves should go; if you're a government minister you have to be on top of this kind of thing, and if you're elected on precisely that promise, even more so. Starmer has an unerring...
