Share a birthday with Headington stalwart Charlie Nicklas*, and the last couple of years I've enjoyed birthday treats like losing to Northwich Victoria 1-2 at home, and a splendid 3-1 away win at Ebbsfleet - which lifted my day considerably, from memory. Sometime prior to this, on April 26th Oxford ...

Roscoe was a class act in my Aldershot team in FM 2003-2004 - scored loads (including an FAC win against Chelsea whilst in League 2), and was eventually unloaded to Norwich for a large amount of cash. On the basis that James Constable was also excellent in FM 2005-2006 as a loanee from Walsall, I'd ...

&quotMen are faster and fitter than women. That is a fact, NOT sexism.&quot

OK - supply the evidence / knowledge-base for this.

&quotAs for the FT article all I can say is: No shit! Sherlock!&quot

Arrogant, dismissive and very definitely dim-witted. I think you owe Dr Bob an apology.

&quotbit of the body between the balls and the bottom&quot

Known in some quarters, I gather, as the 'arseneck'.

Indeed, and his (very) detailed Wikipedia entry does not inspire confidence. Plus, he's played for Slumdon. Dear, dear ......

The icing on the cake.

&quotLooking at this as something of an outsider (I did not cough up to be part of the sponsorship), I can understand the decision to consult before taking any action. I am, however, surprised at the mixture of views. To me, for what it is worth, the issue is simple. What he did was unacceptable...

Inglethorpe got good press when he was Exeter manager - most notably when they drew 0-0 up at Manchester United.

Sanguine. Would be my preferred choice out of these, with Sinnott second (good experience at non-league level).

Terry Smith (ex-Chester). That would be interesting.

Grumpy fans - it's an entertainment business, and........

Derbyshire has been a bit of a disappointment so far (4 goals in 16 appearances), and as he's the only striker this is bad news......

242 dropped 145 places yesterday to 611th!

Boris - I've replied to your email in FML - I'll be on after 8.30 this evening. My lot are a bit on a mix, and include Michael Brown, Matt Derbyshire and an Israeli left-back called Ori Shitrit. He's better than he sounds. Emiliano Diaz was on my shortlist, but has found another club... Played 2, wo...

&quotNow, with the increasing systemization and regimentation of sport, something of the pure play-quality is inevitably lost. We see this very clearly in the official distinction between amateurs and professionals.... ... It means that the play-group marks out those for whom playing is no longe...

I'll be at the computer at 5.00ish to get started. Friendlies are always welcomed, so look out for the team (242 Micromotor). In the Beta versions I've played, I've come across Eddie Ancalet (who was poor), Steve Basham (awful), Matteo Corbo (good), J-P Raponi (very good), and - er - Emiliano Diaz (...

Don't like Slumdon particularly, and generally gain some satisfaction when they lose, preferably heavily. Very much dislike Newcastle United (though many of their supporters whom I met when I worked up there knew their football and were genuinely interested when they knew I supported Oxford. Quite a...

a) Would probably go and see Leicester City to see how I found it, and with the boys when they're older - I suspect that they might be Leicester fans naturally, as we live in their &quotheartland&quot. Whatever the case, any &quotnew team&quot would be local, and not the last 20-odd ...
