Re:
I'm pretty sure Mally knows that but is more interested in Terry's choice of wording. I think that we on here probably are a bit arrogant and condescending but so long as we do it in the privacy of our own forum among consenting adults I don't see the problem. Having said that I don't have a logon ...

Re:
Preceding 'h' words with 'an' is just an ostentatious affectation in my opinion. 'An hotel'. Really, I ask you. To me, both orally and aurally "an 'otel" works better than "a hotel" and "a[y] hotel" (ie with either a short or long 'a'). It is smoother...

The original piece in the OM, to my eyes, makes it clear they are at this stage still trying to identify people who went on the pitch. What happens to individuals afterwards depends on their background (reference is made to some people who ran on the pitch already being under football banning orders...

Just one thought - bearing in mind we are talking here about the British weather. It rains, so play stops. Rain stops, so some time afterwards play begins again. What then? It rains again? Play stops again? it starts, then stops....... Since cricket, like any sport, needs common rules, are you going...

The England football team must be winning matches - the grumbles have shifted from not winning, to not winning with enough style. Surely the only problem with a test match being played at Sophia Gardens (regardless of who the sponsors are) rather than Trent Bridge is that matches played there thus f...
Perhaps only a little bit more than a drop in the ocean, but trading off the teams departing this division (especially downwards) with those arriving, especially Luton and AFC Wimbledon, we might actually have some home games where decent numbers of away fans turn up - let alone the potential impact...

Re:
See you there! Friday night before anyone else starts as per Barrow in 08/09. You know it's going to happen. It will be intersting to see if Dennis Strudwick does us any favours when he sets the fixtures by hand again. I reckon there will be a lot of people who will see Luton as the biggest team in...

There are plenty of fellow forumites whose knowledge of these things is far greater than mine, so please correct me if there are errors here....I guess one way of looking at this is how, if at all, Chester's situation is different from Boston's. In the latter case, it seems from what I can find that...

Does anybody know if the current deal gives each club a certain fixed income, plus a variable element based on live TV appearances? If there is, I guess the first question is how big is it relative to the rest of our turnover? The second is, if there is, has the club budgeted for next season factori...

Too often in the past I have felt players who have had potential have not been given the time to show they can deliver. That has not been the case with Yemi. I have enjoyed watching him - and on those rare occasions he does deliver, he is great value. But as others have said it has not been often en...

I am surprised that Sandwith is not being let go (albeit on very few matches watched since his arrival) and relieved that Nelthorpe is going (he has some positives but too many negatives for me, especially his temperament). The rest of the list I am not surprised about. What has surprised me is how ...

Transfer Rumour Mill
Now we know who is staying and who going, can I be the first to start on the rumours about signings? I have heard we are looking at Michael Brough at Torquay. He has another year on his contract there, but does not get on with Buckle and is looking to leave. This explains his loan to Salisbury, wher...

Re:
If that's the case, I hope he can do us proud until the end of the season. There's no sadder sight in football than a 'keeper going one game too far (c.f. Seaman in Japorea) And indeed Shilton at Italia '90. I'd be sad if Turley's time was coming to an end already. Sure, he makes mistakes, and I've...
