If nothing else the break will help in getting injured players back. You could be right about Pervis we shall see. I did a quick count; had we been playing today, say, including the suspension, we would have had 10 players out. Yes, 10! TL, PE, JM, SM, LD, JE, EF, MD, DW, and probably Moder...

I see what you mean but we really don't have enough with the 3 further injuries. He might be good to get us a penalty or two with his pace against their more, shall we say, robust approach!

That depends on the injury situation -it could be that the bulk will be asked to play all 90 minutes, or, if it were Fulham, 110 minutes.

That is true of course, but we will be asking most of that team to play 90 minutes again on Sunday and in elite football, that can be quite draining.

I third it.

To be fair, I feel that a cover of some sort is needed, though you are quite right in that the queue would be shorter if everyone got on the first train, though the queues would still be quite long. We always take the first available train, and if it is one going to Seaford, then get on the...

No I did not do this: had you properly read the posts, you might have realised that I was replying to the suggestion that wars can never solve anything, and whilst that might largely be true, in the case of the campaign against Hitler, it really did create a much better and freer Germany as well...

Sorry -I did realise that, but I was just quoting your wording. Sometimes, war does solve problems, however, and the decision to go for the jugular against Hitler and insist on unconditional surrender, so that there could be no more suggestions of stabbing in the back, as after WW1, meant that...

yes, I see what you are saying and in theory you are quite right. But in practice a limited proportional response, as you suggest, realistically will not destroy Hamas, who are more than happy, apparently, to use civilians as shields. I am old enough to clearly remember 1967, 1973 and the...

I don't know as much abut this as you do, so this is a genuine question. I am sure that I looked at Wikipedia and saw that hamas gained 44% of the vote in 2006 -the last election held in Gaza, as they have strangled all opposition since. Was Hamas a nice cuddly organisation then or did it...

You need to read what he actually wrote and what I took issue with. It was not about what Johnson's government did or did not do, and you could well be right about Boris. But the poster arrogantly dismisses millions of his fellow citizens as being thick simply for having an opposing view - that...

But I have not used any of the words you describe and you could well be right about the politicians you mention, though I suspect that most politicians of all persuasions are so. Having been in education myself for 40 years, I wonder how you would have reacted in a classroom or student debate...

I genuinely think that this sort of generalised assertion is typical of a very arrogant person who assumes that his/her view is superior to that of others.

Yes, I think that a rudimentary cover for the train queues would be an undoubted benefit, as would the addition of the fanzone. I don't know how much the cover would cost but am sure that compared to the total turnover of revenue, it would not amount to that much if it were built in stages, say...

I have done this route by car for years. Yes, driving time is shorter as you confirm, but then the ferry time is longer, so not much gained, if at all. Also, beware that the Dunkirk ferries are not as frequent, so if you miss one . . . I am basing this on a year ago or so, when I last used the...

And on one of these occasions, Iwobi went down as well at the same time, but on realising that a team mate thought likewise, then got up again.

Yes, that would be my understanding. I imagine the numbers would have to be restricted and that there will be an entry charge, and presumably we will have to book in advance, if you want to make use of the facility.

Yes, you have been unlucky. When I paid for the 3 match pack, I understood that it was a commitment to all 3 games, hence the reduced price, and I recall many posters at the time praising the club for its foresight. Let's say that by the time of the 3rd home game and the club had no hope of...

he certainly needs time to progress, and yes, it is true that others like Bis and Ali Mac took time. Having said that, it was frustrating to see him try to go past the defender's right and lose the ball every time. I think there is a star player in there somewhere, but as others have said...

Whilst the rest of the fans are never going to match the North, as would happen in most grounds, I do feel that your statement is rather extreme -I sit in East Stand Upper, and joking aside about all the oldies, plenty of folk do join in and it can be quite raucous, I assure you.
