I wouldn’t even wish him on Manchester United. Bumbling, weapons-grade charlatan.

Quite looking forward to this tonight. Riakporhe looks a talent.

Fúcking hell, I get that if you don’t know, you don’t know, but Clarkson couldn’t have done any more to help him out there. How thick do you have to be? https://youtu.be/ETyWKf3_UIA

It's an increasingly interesting story this as it rumbles on, and today's development serves as a reminder that few of us are completely free from prejudice, even those individuals who have been discriminated against themselves. Whilst I think it's important that people who are subject to...

Had this very same thought earlier. It was 14 degrees up in the industrial north earlier; it should be about 10 degrees south of that by now shouldn’t it? Genuinely worrying if that’s a quirk of global warming and not just a freak patch of weather. I still don’t think there’s been a day since...

In weapons-grade toff accent… “I say old bean, how about we take you out for one of those ‘curries’ that you people so enjoy, we forget about this whole, silly little misunderstanding, and you come back and help us get out of this sticky wicket we’re in with our sponsors? Wouldn’t that be just...

Incidentally, who would represent the world’s top international sides, pound for pound based on population? Obviously at the bottom of the list would be the likes of India and China with their massive populations and not very good football teams, but who’s at the top? Iceland, 62nd in the world...

Or at least limited to using players born in Rotherham…

League Two was quoted above but I think it’s lower than that. It’s rare that a side like England, even poor England sides, don’t put a minimum of 5 or 6 past San Marino. That doesn’t routinely happen in the FA Cup, and of course you do from time to time get the odd upset - San Marino will NEVER...

Speaking of Foxes, 6-0 down at half-time, San Marino are currently deemed by Sky Bet’s odds to be 10x more likely to win tonight’s match than Leicester were to win the league in 15/16. Worth a quid?

Is it just me that only learned a few years ago that San Marino is a totally landlocked state, surrounded entirely by Italy. I’d always assumed it was either an island like Corsica or at least coastal like Monaco or Gibraltar, but no - just a tiny chunk of land in northern Italy. How...

In all my years supporting Grimsby, I can only recall us playing Hull once competitively, beating them on the way to our Auto Windscreens Shield win in 1998. We’ve had some decent derby ding dongs with Lincoln in our non-league and non-league years, but Scunny are the ones we love to hate. A...

That’s precisely what happened to us. Being in the Championship at the time, the TV deal accounted for something like 64% of our income, and whilst we hadn’t necessarily SPENT the money as such, we were nevertheless committed to long-term contracts that we couldn’t easily get out of. I think...

Yeah, there’s definitely something to be said for the rawness of lower league football. It would be silly of me to say that I’d never like to see us in the Premier League slapping the likes of Man United about, of course I would, but I imagine you lose something from the experience too.

Thanks for that mate, I appreciate it.

:lolol: (For what it’s worth I thought he was an absolute nob for doing this at the time, and you’ve fared a bit better than us since)

Ok, you make a fair point. Apologies - I should have been more explicit in my post. The young man in my avatar is James Tilley, recently of Brighton’s academy, formerly of Grimsby (having been signed by Ian Holloway who is substantially less popular in north east Lincolnshire than he is in...

Bizarrely, having dropped out of the football league following the most wretched of seasons last year, our home crowds have been the highest they’ve been since the late 90s in the second tier. Accounting for the fact that visiting sides in those days typically brought more than one man and his...

I fùcking hate this tin pot league. :rant::rant::rant:

I’ve just read my own back and, fúck me, that was long. Apologies!
