Really chuffed that Sammy has got the England gig - he has an infectious character that obviously rubs off on players, which is great when it's all going well. Hopefully he is also old and bold enough not to be too PC to give some of the 'prima donnas' a good kick in the rear end and a few choice words when needed. Either way, I hope he has a ball.

Hope he goes. He would have been my first choice for the England job though.

I think it's now got to the stage where both the public, and the police, are actually thinking 'Kill or be killed', no matter what the situation. Their total acceptance and reliance on guns to 'solve' even the most minor of disturbances is, if it weren't so tragic, almost laughable. As usual, it's the innocents that suffer, but that won't stop them carrying their guns, no siree. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/father-shoots-son-dead-in-freak-accident-at-firing-range-but-vows-his-attitude-to-guns-wont-change-a3287981.html

Anybody care, anybody interested....??? After the latest England debacle in France, is anybody bothered about who takes the reins for the next? Looking at the press it appears that the FA want to go for one of the thousands and thousands of good English managers that we have in this country, and better still BFS or Steve Bruce appear to be pretty near the top of their list. Which is the lesser of two evils there? Personally I quite fancy giving Poch a go. Young ambitious manager who has excelled since his arrival in the premier league and has done well bringing on young players. Yeah, I know technically this should be in the other sports forum - but nobody ever goes there these days - so thought I would try and get away with dropping it in here.

I had an account there for best part of 7 or 8 years, and given the user name and password that I used, my allegiance would have been patently obvious. I probably visited the site 10 - 20 times in all of those years, never posted, trolled or copy and pasted any information from there. It appears that I have recently been removed though - each to their own I guess - but very childish to just blanket ban people without explanation.

It kind of annoys me a little when people quote Hillsborough as a reason for us never returning to standing within a football stadium. The legacy of the 96 is that we now have safe all-seater stadiums, which I respect. However, with all due respect to the 96, their families and friends, I do believe that a more apt and lasting legacy would be the return to 'safe standing sections' within stadiums, where lessons have been learned, and this sort of tragedy cannot happen again. 2 of the fundamental failings that led to the Hillsborough deaths were poor stewarding and control when fans entered the ground, and the fact that they were effectively penned in and could not 'overflow' onto the pitch as the situation worsened. Both of those issues, have been addressed with modernization of stadiums, thus if overcrowding were to occur it would be much easier to take action to prevent injury. Personally, I'm in the old codgers crowd and would probably always want to sit, however I would really like to see areas where standing was allowed in a controlled and safe environment.

Surely that's progress against the war on guns, no...???? If you have a gun now - we are going to come at you with something bigger. Never mind gun control, bollux to it. Check it out - how to fight guns....., easy, bigger guns...!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36778374

Excellent, sounds like a roll that he is particularly suited to, good news Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Having been there, seen it, done it, and won it, we of all clubs should respect the fact that this competition is designed for lower league clubs to have their day in the sun. Awful idea - it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Far, far too soon - great talent. RIP.

Welcome Claude - the Premier League awaits....

Yeah, about 4 years ago. He turns up but plays like he's resigned to losing. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

I would just colour it in with crayons, that's what Roy would do. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

I would actually like to see Poch get the gig. I really think he would do a good job for us. It would pisz spurs off as well. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Damn, Roy's out of work, get Puell in fast....... Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Taking the positives out of it, if Iceland can do that to us, just think what France would've done. We got off relatively lightly at two one to be honest. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

The referee needs to stop this, we are getting permanent damage now. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Going....? Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Good effort from Kane from 40 yards... Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Could be a blessing in disguise, France will severely embarrass us if we manage to fluke our way through this. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

Exactly this. And I don't know why it's so difficult for people to get their head around this. Players are driven playing at the highest possible level and by money, as are agents, Mane will go, the clubs job is to get the best price they can in order to re-invest.

Whoever gets the nod I can't wait to see who in the club comes out with the fabled one liner "we got our first choice candidate". Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

So - what is the difference between a business and a football club? At the end of the day, in order to survive both have to either break even or make a profit - it really is that simple. You seem to be under the illusion that her father would have thrown money at the club hand over fist, I doubt it - money does not guarantee success. If you really cannot see the investment and improvement both in terms of infrastructure and performance since the takeover by Markus and Kat then you would appear to be somewhat short sighted. We are a well run, stable club - I would much rather we run within our means (I have no problems with owners making a profit either) - than throw money around and end up back in administration.

That is very funny. I see you are back to your brilliant best.
