    Forest fan - 20th April, we need to do something

    Sorry it panned out so badly. I wish you well, your team not so much if we are still slugging it out after our next deduction.

    Forest fan - 20th April, we need to do something

    I once worked with a Forest fan who was a really good lad, and I could never imagine him being disrespectful to anyone. I suspect you are more like him than the tribalists who mocked our current plight, but you were always on a loser coming on here. I still can't understand why Forest have...

    Christ, it's going to end up like the car Homer Simpson built if the Philistines get their way.

    "Sigh", my best shots have been swatted away in an instant. It's a bit late in the day to debate utilitarian vs. aesthetic values, but I do think that the design of the south facade is the most striking feature of the building, which IMO has already been downgraded for economic and technical...

    Why’s Graeme Stuart called diamond?

    He was always known as"'Koff Stuart" by some feller who sat by me in the Street End.

    We may be on to something here. I have often wondered why someone hasn't filled in the gaps on the old Runcorn Bridge to create "floating" apartments overlooking the river, and don't get me started on the Eiffel Tower. These architects and engineers haven't got a clue.

    Our Players Are Supposed to be Prem Level FFS

    Lavatory analogies generally make me feel queasy, but I hope this one comes true for yet another reprieve.

    Our Players Are Supposed to be Prem Level FFS

    I get sick of telling my mates and family that we are not prem standard and haven't been for a long time. I think that is why neutrals dislike us so much, we seem to survive on pure chance year after year. Having said that, I think if we do finally drop this year it will be more down to the bean...

    Sad News - Our friend, Roydo

    RIP Roydo, always seemed too nice and well balanced to be a mod in here. I generally avoid remembrance tributes when I have never met or known the person, but he did come across as someone you could warm to instinctively. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    Are you a still a football fan or solely an Evertonian these days?

    His achievements are a matter of record and I don't seek to diminish them in any way, but I don't think their defensive vulnerability is a little caveat. A stronger side than Luton might have made things uncomfortable for them. I always feel that that they are more likely than Liverpool to have...

    Are you a still a football fan or solely an Evertonian these days?

    Happy to acknowledge his innovations and tactical nous, but using versatile players in different roles is nothing new. The issue for me is whether it is the best football we have ever seen, and as you say that is very subjective. I simply don't think this is the best football I have ever seen...

    Are you a still a football fan or solely an Evertonian these days?

    Fair do's, I respect your point of view and they are mostly great to watch, but I also find their possession football can be tedious and lacking in spark at times. Obviously I have no idea how old you are, but I am quite long in the tooth and maybe there is a touch of nostalgia in my thinking...

    Are you a still a football fan or solely an Evertonian these days?

    Forgive me for taking issue with this, City are indeed a wonderful team on form, but in my lifetime I have seen several teams who played fantastic football at times when the top flight was more competitive than it is now. Liverpool, United, Arsenal and Chelsea, (even Everton although a very...

    Points Deduction, Appeal & 2nd PSR Charge

    This is the thing I can't get my head around, it seems virtually impossible to prove a sporting advantage so they rely on the line that it should be "inferred". I realise they are relying on EFL guidelines here, but surely the onus is on them to show what sporting advantage was gained if they...

    Top Tory seeking VIP lane access ? Well, I'm slightly shocked I must say.
