Wasn't it Spurs he turned us down for? In any case he is a fat little fella. Jan Molby could get away with it - Reid can't though.

How gutted must Huddersfield be, refusing to buy Ricky because he was too old. Ricky is one of the few much hyped players to justify it and his partnership with Connolly is a joy to watch.

Just watched shteve McClaren's interview on Forest Player and he didn't sound confident or happy.

46. Trouble is getting the balance between potting and position. These days I try too hard for position and end up missing the pot but console myself with the fact that if I want to improve then that's the way it's got to be.

I'd like to add Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and all the other warbling muppets. They may be able to perform vocal gymnastics but they murder virtually every song they touch and strip any emotion out of it. Having the ability to be a good singer doesn't always make a good singer.

Because of the proximity of the crowd to the pitch The Dell created atmosphere and atmosphere that no modern ground can compete with. If it hadn't been for the Taylor report and all seater stadia then The Dell would never have been that much of a financial impediment either. I guess the best we can say about SMS is that when there is a good atmosphere then it's because of the crowd and not the stadium which really is an identikit soulless bowl. Personally I think we would have got relegated eventually and would be about where we are now, although the future might not be so bright. I can't honestly say that the best games I've seen at SMS come anywhere near the best ones at The Dell though and I still miss it.

This.

I mostly listen to radio 2 although if I had a digital radio in the car then I'd probably alternate between that, xfm and radio 6. Haven't listened to radio 1 in years.

I deliberately avoided the trailer until finishing the book, which I did yesterday. Having seen the trailer now I agree with you - the casting of Emma isn't what I expected. They've obviously done it for the American market though. Have to say the book was excellent - uses a device similar to the time traveller's wife and it works really well.

Can I positively agree with this statement? I'm not sure......

No, but he'd moan that he wasn't on the bus, or the bus wasn't a coach, or a plane or a space rocket.......only joking alps

It's a bit of a girly book but "One day" by David Nicholls. About half way through and it's good so far, totally character driven (which I normally hate - I need a bit of plot) but it's well written and in places quite funny. I suspect if you didn't go to University in the late 80's / early 90's then it won't resonate so much and it also has a bit of celebrity culture critique which is becoming a bit of a tired cliche. That said it's quite decent and reminiscent of Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons but updated a bit.

I don't really think this is the place for this but it might be a good idea to hold fire until we know some details. It's important to also remember that in Gary's (Sir Griff) case there was no blame attached to the bouncer - it was an accident.

Agree with that. In fact didn't his directors cut of Alien actually come in with a shorter running time than the original as well? It was either that or Aliens anyway.

Bad news. Hope you get well soon Dan.

You'll find this a lot on here. It isn't OK to question things in a reasonable manner because it's the club you're criticising and because I'm a bit sad, by definition me. That seems to be the attitude anyway. Take the transfer window multiple threads - it's blatantly obvious we were looking at trying to sign an expensive forward and to express disappointment that we didn't isn't heresy and is probably quite close to how NA feels.

Ah, so this is what happens when we win loads and look good doing it. It's not much different to losing loads and looking poor really.... End of the day, getting wound up by a interweb forum is sad, most of us have probably done it, but it's ultimately pointless.

I hate this assumption by fans that we think we "know" players and are willing to slag them off, criticise them based on an assumption that we are correct in our interpretation of their attitude. Recently we've seen it with Puncheon, Beckford and now Beattie. All we can judge them on is what they do on the pitch - it's up to the manager to make the call over whether they "fit" or not.

On a totally unrelated note, Sebastian Shaw was John Peel's step father.

7th - 12th which I think is pretty good.

I agree with this - it makes sense for both parties. All depends on his attitude and wage demands. His wage expectations shouldn't be too high - he must have made an absolute mint and the pay off from Rangers would mean an average wage wouldn't be too much of a disappointment to him.

To be honest it's not the money - but it is shocking and it's not a new thing either. The fact we're paying for it does grate a bit but I get the impression charging us 20 quid or 50 quid wouldn't sort it out. It's been an issue for ages and seems to get worse not better.....

For a subscription site this is pretty crap.

Di Canio certainly is one mental fascist!

Actually I disagree, the season he and Rasiak linked up they worked well together and personally I think if they'd stayed together the following season we would have either had a better chance of winning the play offs or even automatic. I don't think it was fan pressure that caused Fuller to leave though.
