  1. Spot on. Supporters don’t give a shiny shite what colour people are and don’t need to make stupid gestures to show that.
  2. There’s no comparison between Branfoot & Redknapp with Puel. None whatsoever.
  3. I just hope the vaccine administration is handled by a private company or the services round here. Our Doctors surgery couldn’t run a bath, complete shambles since March. The Marines are on our doorstep, maybe they could step in.
  4. Fair play to Jason Tindall, doing a decent job at Boscombe.
  5. I think you’re making a bit of a fool of yourself. The club have acted perfectly reasonably, there are no easy options. When tickets were sold in June it was reasonable to expect some supporters back by now.
  6. Why do you think that is?
  7. Perhaps they need somebody with your intelligence & superior knowledge to explain it to them.
  8. So one of the biggest challenges in rolling out this game changing virus, which will save lives & rescue the economy, is people working in public health don’t want to work weekends? Just about sums it up, the sooner we update our antiquated health service the better.
  9. Did Italy & China not lockdown then. At least some of us Nazis admitted we were wrong, and didn’t try and pretend we were right all along.
  10. Fuck me, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with what they’re doing. Some people will moan about any criteria they use. I’d have thought most neutrals would think rewarding the people who go more often is perfectly reasonable.
  11. That’s pretty much what happened in March. Glad you’ve seen the light & now realise the self imposed damage done by lockdown hardliners.
  12. Euro loons desperately hoping EU citizens get vaccinated before us. That’s what ideology does to you.
  13. Soggy thought Julian Fellowes’ “ The English game” was a documentary. Jolly decent chaps, calling fouls & shaking hands over a Sherry after the game. No dirty Argies soiling the game.
  14. Who?
  15. The way society is going it’s inevitable it’s going to be banned eventually. Whether that’s in my lifetime is the question. I reckon in 50 years the game will be different, the ball will still travel in the air, but players will be bringing it down with their chests.
  16. Hey Siri. Show me a pious poster stating the bleeding obvious. Some of us got over it years ago & recognise his brilliance. Not liking someone because they knocked you out of the World Cup, is for the play ground.
  17. To people who posted what a great bloke Wilkins was, I merely pointed out that decent folk don’t get in a car when pissed and endanger life. Had the discussion been about Maradona being a nice guy & a decent bloke, you’d have a point. But the discussion was about him punching the ball into the net and why some people can’t forgive this act, when Englishmen do the same week in week out. You’re just trying to muddy the waters because you judge South American’s differently than good old English chaps. There’s a word for that.....
  18. Fringe player that doesn’t appear to be the sort to make waves when left out, who gives his all, is still quickish, strong, gets about and can play up top or wide. Are people really expecting our squad players to be much better. You can’t just fill the bench with promising nippers, and for all we know he could be a decent role model in training and around the club. He hasn’t really done a lot because he has only had a dozen or so minutes here and there. He’s not taking the piss. So, no, not a mistake. .
  19. It’s nothing to do with fitness and everything to do with quality off the bench. Had we lost our keeper, we’d have had Lurch in nets, they had the latest English big thing. They bought on a world class finisher, we brought on Shane Long. Better players keep the ball better, preserving energy. We have to work like fuck at times, because we give it away cheaply.
  20. Most of them work at home wankers who won’t lose their jobs because of the lockdown. Obviously they’ll be the first standing with the great unwashed when the policies they support cause mass unemployment. It’ll all be the Tories fault then.
  21. Cloughie at his peak was far and away the best value for money. I liked Shanks as well & Tommy Doc earnt by respect with his classy reaction to the ‘76 cup final. Hated Venables, didn’t pick Matt in ‘96 but also a cocky twat whose record is bigged up by his buddies in the media.
  22. Maybe that’s why he’s so bitter about it. As the years have gone on, the people involved have become more deranged over it. It’s as if Maradona cost us the World Cup, whereas the truth is we were only playing them at that stage because we finished below Morocco in the qualifying group. The whole Robson era is bizarre, just because he was a nice bloke history has been rewritten. Maradona cost us in ‘86 & we were damn unlucky in ‘90, Gazza tears and all that. The truth is somewhat different. Robson was in charge during 4 major tournaments . In finals we only ma aged to beat Egypt, Poland & Paraguay in 90 mins, together with Cameroon & Belgium in extra time. We won 0 games at the euro finals, and his record is ;1 failure to qualify, 1 quarter final, 1 didn’t get out of group & 1 semi final . In any other major football nation that would be considered a failure, but not here. Nice bloke he may have been, but he was a bloody average England manager.
  23. The interviewer hit the nail on the head. It is the premier league (the 20 clubs) that sanctioned the midday ko slots, obviously to take advantage of the Asian market. The big clubs want it both ways, they want the money, but also the control over the TV fixture list. The tv companies aren’t going to give up the choice of games, whilst still paying top dollar. It is ridiculous that teams playing in Europe feature in the early game, but it was their decision to sell the right to stop it.
  24. Exactly . England’s pathetic 34 year whinge is summed up by Terry Butcher, who still can’t get over it. A few years back I saw an interview with him in which he called Maradona all the names under the sun for cheating. Going on to discuss the second goal, he admitted that it was genius, but complained that Peter Reid or someone should have taken him out on the half way line. The irony of moaning about Maradona cheating and then moaning that the English players didn’t cheat 4 mins later , seemed lost on him.
