We must have had altitude sickness up there last season, the way we played.

Most of them probably remember our abject display up there last season and think that its a foregone conclusion.

A lot just don't fancy it. Horrible, ugly game. Terrible ground, awful facilities. Threat of trouble. Early kick off. Pubs shut.

We are in a 13 team league and we have to finish 10th or higher in that league. Within reason, it doesn't matter how we do it, we just have to do it. Its fine margins and its marginal gains. I targetted 41 points this season, a gain of one point over last season,irrespective of position. There...

Stephens gave the ball away with his first three touches on Tuesday night. The lack of pace through midfield means that recovery from misplaced passes is very difficult and often results in the opposition having a break against only our back-line. It goes without saying that better ball...

It makes a difference to the ' older brigade ' who had it rammed down their throats for 25 years. An older brigade who remember us playing Liverpool in the old second division, late 50's/early 60's. From the mid 60's it was year after year of pretty classless arrogance and one title win and it...

I suppose if the fans are allowed to stand five deep for half a mile and rain over a thousand assorted missiles ( mainly bottles and bricks ) on an opposition coach and receive minimal punishment, then clearing the half of snow they are going to attack is fair game. Nothing, of course was done...

The front three were truly awful and scuppered the whole team performance. Knockaert. No appreciation of players around him. Overplaying continually. Constant moaning, berating teammates, diving, hissy fitting. Giving the ball away cheaply, poor delivery and woeful shooting. Quite simply, the...

Went to the Doctor recently and told him that since I got divorced, I only want to go out with women called April, May or June. He told me I was suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

They are forced to do it because of the levels of anti-semitism that exist both in this country and others. It is a level found higher amongst the upper echelons of society than down amongst ordinary working people. It is a prejudice of envy. it is a prejudice passed down by generations, who...

One place above Benfica ( 80 odd domestic trophies/ 2 European Cups ).....70% of our history in the bottom two divisions......cue........reality check.

Find it very surprising that Cardiff didn't insist on arranging their new, highly valuable asset's travel. How many other PL clubs would allow new expensive signings to fly this distance in a light aircraft?

Emmanuel Mullet and Angela Mackerel for me.....as fishy as it gets. New Franco-German agreement. Deeper political, economic and military integration. Joint military deployment overseas. Joint places at the UN Security Council. Well what a love-in. Two embattled leaders, deeply unpopular at home...

Of those 40% ' swing ' voters, how many know what remaining in the EU entails. I keep hearing comments on how reform is needed but it is obvious to anyone that reform of the EU is not on the agenda. The same path is still being followed and the mission statement out of Brussels is unchanged. You...

Come on Uzbekistan!!!

Digressing....am I right that there has only been one hat trick at the Amex ( Leo ? )

Saw our first hat trick in the top flight....Peter Ward....away at Wolves, just before Christmas 1979. Icy pitch and he literally ran rings round Emlyn Hughes and George Berry, both of whom had great difficulty standing up.

Interesting comment and highlights the real problem. i.e no one in authority ever gives a moments thought as to whether we have an ' optimum ' population figure in this country. i.e what figure can we sustain in this country before quality of life comes under pressure. Quality of life = the...

Yes. What is the point paying a lot of money to be a member of a club, whose trading rules amplify our weaknesses ( goods/manufacturing ) and nullify our strengths ( services ). A club that has no desire to reform and whose very existence will be under severe pressure in the future. ( p.s...
