Re: WTF are the FA thinking?

Paul Herbert surprise surprise seems to be trying to blow it all up again.

He must do more to turn people away from anti racism movements than anybody.

Re: WTF are the FA thinking?

Is there a case for the FA to hire a decent manager on a short term contract next summer or do we all put our trust in Uncle Roy to get England beyond the quarter finals? Call me old fashioned but this whole thing about sacking relatively successful managers (Martin Allen being the most recent) doe...

Re: (Yellow and ) Blue Sky Thinking

It really is not that easy pairing 'Oxford' with any kind of education and get away with it for long. If you try you will have the University lawyers all over you. They have plenty of trade marks going back decades with the word 'Oxford' in it. It does surprise me that there are so many language sch...

Re: Tins n pots

Unfortunately I couldn't make it (one of the joys of working near Gatwick), but it sounded like a decent performance and for once we couldn't take our chances. It raises a few questions re Saturday (which we badly need to win). - Will Wright return? When I have watched Raynes has been a bit of a plu...

Re: Managerial Merry-go-round

At 50-1 with Skybet for 'no manager to leave' it's a tempting bet given the weird results in Division I this season.. http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/next-manager-to-leave-post Even at 50/1 I wouldn't put anything on that Snake. By Christmas I would expect that at least o...

Big chance

I see that Ruffels will be starting this evening. This is a big chance for him. In all likelihood Whing will come back and play with Rose on Saturday, but with a very good performance Ruffels could put himself in the mix. Does anybody know what sort of midfield player he is? Bad news that Meades may...

Re: Big game

I don't disagree with what YF Dan said, but it was interesting to see Simon Grayson's view on Preston v Swin***. Preston have had an excellent start to the season but his comments after they won 2-1 were 'Slumdon are a good footballing team and we knew we had to stop them from playing. The players w...

Re: Big game

Another fine win but only one mention of Chris Wilder on this thread: are we second with only one defeat (to the leaders) in nine because of him or in spite of him? Guess we'll have to wait til the next dropped points at home for those comments! On the basis that the manager takes the flak when thi...

Newcastle 3 down after 38 minutes. Add Pardew to those under threat.

Big game

Every game is a pretty big one, but I feel that tomorrow's is big in the context of the season. Ok we lost to Chesterfield which was hardly a disgrace. But we need to kick on again. We need to be tougher than last season (no runs of defeats). There are injuries and suspensions. But even then in an a...

Re: Homophobia

A shame.

It sounded a good idea, but sounds like it was all arranged/ managed pretty poorly.
