When you watch documentaries about Billy Fury you realise the esteem in which his contemporaries hold him. The likes of Marty Wilde and Joe Brown always speak very highly of him and place him as the number one artist of that era. His early life spent working on the boats on the Mersey, writing...

Bobby Samson ( or was it Sansom?.....can never remember ).....always thought he was pretty good.....where is he now?

I prefer to look at the teams that I think we will be capable of finishing above and am confident that we will be better than the majority of the division. The standout teams are obvious...Newcastle, Derby, Wednesday and Norwich. There will be a couple of surprises towards the top and bottom. I...

The longer the season wore on, the more I found myself willing Boro and Burnley to slip up. Maybe, subconsciously, I just didn't think we were going to grasp it ourselves, with both hands. Maybe I didn't quite have that ultimate confidence. After Charlton, I knew that Derby was crucial. It was...

We are doomed I tell yer....doomed. After 89 points, 5 league defeats all season and a list of injuries that you would be unlucky to get over three whole seasons, there is no hope. None at all. I've got the bottle of pills ready. The signs are there pre-season. Shambolic performances, players...

Without any proper control, we are heading for unsustainable population levels. Potentially 73m in 15 yrs time and 80m, 10 years after that. We are a small island with finite resources and our infrastructure cannot cope with these sorts of numbers. We cannot physically build enough roads. We...

So... you appear to be calling into question the judgement of the new PM. Boris is marmite. Like him or loathe him in equal measure. Like Trump, like Thatcher. The movers and shakers are always perceived thus. They aren't afraid of taking unpopular decisions. There is nothing bland about them...

Either this is just a smokescreen to appease those wanting an English manager or the FA are even more clueless than most of us imagined. Other British sports have shown the way. You get the very best in to coach/manage and the results will come. Eddie Jones took over an England rugby squad at a...

...by batting properly and digging in. It wasn't as if England were racing against the clock. They had the best part of two days to bat. They could have wrested the psychological advantage away from Pakistan by a lengthy and successful run chase, taking the game well into the 5th day. Getting...

The whole attitude in Test Cricket has changed in recent years. Players can no longer dig in for the long haul. They play loosely from the start and expect to blaze away at four an over or more. Captains now dispense with a third man and every edge past or through the slips is four runs. Batting...

Too much damage done too early. Pressure on Bairstow, as usual, to bail them out and eventually he played a poor shot. At 195-6, everyone knew that one more wicket was game over and so it proved. It shouldn't have depended on Bairstow to try and keep them in the hunt. The top order were...

Splendid effort v Serbia in the Davis Cup. No Murray but the lads dug deep and showed what spirit and passion can achieve. Stenson v Mickelson was just magnificent and captivating sport at its finest. And then we had the Test Match v Pakistan....I thought we had had our fill of national sporting...

Keep the faith. There will be more wins, less draws and more defeats. Unlike last season, we will start a little bit slowly. Pick up early Autumn and then just go from strength to strength. Can see us getting more than 90 points. Straight fight between us and Toon for top spot. Derby and...

The picture of the bar on the club website is entirely accurate. That is how it is going to look in the three hours leading up to every home game.

David Cameron was Euro-Sceptic when younger but once in office, it all changed and he fell in line with the Establishment. His complete and utter failure to secure any sort of deal from Europe was the alarm bell ringing that it was only going to get worse. Pre-Cameron, we lost 77% of cases in...

Seamless move.....more sea air and the smell of fish, that all young lads hanker after.

Audrey Forbes-Hamilton?

You keep making the same mistake and listening to politicians when they open their mouths. The majority of people in the UK saw through this nonsense, the same way they saw through the pathetic efforts of Cameron and Osborne to terrify the nation into submission. Anyone with a jot of...

You are having a laugh aren't you. 1) Farming. UK farming declined in profitability by 29% in 2015. A loss of over £1.5bn. The biggest year-on-year fall since 2000. Now at its lowest level of profitability since 2007. The contribution of the agriculture sector fell by 14% ( £1.4bn ) in 2015...

They delivered a result. Thats all they had to do. How could anyone lay down plans, ideas and visions until they know who is going to be driving through change and what the terms of our exit are. The Remain camp knew what they were voting for. An ever increasing EU. More and more expensive and...
