November! I've seen some decorations up since last month. FFS. Since when did the vulgarity of Christmas rear its ugly head before both Halloween and Bonfire Night! The shops have barely enough time to clear the shelves of ghoulish masks and fireworks before all the tinselled tat and obscure and...

Nor me. Historically, one of the four biggest footballing nations on Earth and they haven't made it. Come on Denmark.

Dick Fosbury. No one in the history of sport has completely changed their sport/event in the way he did. Before Fosbury, the straddle kick was the norm. Post Fosbury, everybody switched to head first

...or until the whole discussion becomes totally irrelevant, when history takes its natural course and the EU crashes and burns, as it inevitably will. It beggars belief that people are not considering this likelihood but then maybe they are not studying history or watching political movement in...

15 left in block 117. Not showing block 116. Hopefully some left there.

I had two on the go and one got through pretty quickly. Job done but clearly going fast.

Yep. He is going to slide with Brum now, rather than stay and fight for a place in the PL.

Its a 7 from me. This season just emphasises the gulf between the top 6 and the rest. There is very little to choose between 14 other clubs. Some are benefitting from stable management and a clear game plan ( e.g Burnley, BHA, Hudderfld ) Others are experiencing managerial difficulties and...

Oh yes he was! The old snake-oil salesman can charm birds from the trees. He was telling the world and his mother that Brum were good enough for top six and the right investment could lead to promotion. He got the right investment. A £2m pay-off after 11 games.

Needs to prepare himself for Div 1 football next season.

Always had weight control issues. One of the reasons why the BHA management decided that a more athletic keeper was needed at PL level. Forster is similar. Too heavy at present and lacking that split second reaction time.

Ah....not quite 3000....no one around me was baiting Dean. Most considered the abuse ill-timed and unnecessary. Why give the individual the oxygen of publicity. He clearly thrives on it and was looking for it. Those that resorted to it massaged his ego. It would have been far more effective for...

All for it. Far better than old fogies like me, moaning and groaning through games, predicting equalisers that never materialise and constantly griping about not being able to get food and drink at HT. Why the hell can't I just enjoy the day out, rather than keep dying a thousand deaths every...

Its not over-population that is the problem, it is the geographical spread of population that is the problem. People always gravitate to the areas of most work and these are the areas that are coming under most pressure. Once you start building on swathes of open farmland ( as is happening in...

I guess he feels he is on common ground moving from Everton to BHA. Neither side managed to bring in a striker in 4 months.

I guess I must be speaking to too many ' armchair ' fans, who have little or no interest outside their cosy little top six existence.

Funny you should say that. Shows how hypercritical I am, pontificating about the attitude of others to us and yet, only yesterday, discussing the current strength or not of the Championship and how, if we manage to stay up, it could benefit us next season.

The kids these days prefer Halloween to Bonfire night, as the sweets are free. In my day, we had to work a lot harder. Dress up a guy, push it around or park near shops and wait for the occasional penny. Then it was hot foot down to the nearest sweet shop to spend our hard gotten gains on a...

Attitude. From the Championship, down through the whole of the pyramid there is respect for other clubs and what they achieve. Sure, there are one or two historically larger clubs languishing in the lower reaches, who believe they have a divine right to a seat at the top table but that doesn't...
