  1. You may be right, but I think it depends on whether he wants to work at a club again. Would you employ someone who'd slagged off his previous employers once it was legally possible?
  2. Not that I originate from the west country but have lived here for over 50 years and quite like their stuff. Can't help but smile at their versions of Wonderwall and Ruby. First saw them at Uni in Liverpool - they were on the same bill as The Who and a band called Brewers' Droop. Of course everybody had turned out for The Who, but I can still see Adge looking out at the audience and the audience looking back. Let's just say there was a culture gap. The evening was stolen by Brewers' Droop though who had a fairly decent lead guitarist - turned out it was some bloke called Mark Knopfler, who was absolutely f'ing awesome.
  3. I'd agree with it. Would also like us all to hear what refs are saying, and possibly even think about sin bins. Much to learn from the egg chasers.
  4. Rugby doesn't finish when the clock reaches 80 though - the ball has to go out of play and that can take quite a while.
  5. Our first signing of the summer then...
  6. Good performance and a very enjoyable game. That said, if Vardy has been able to convert his sitters then the result would have been very different. Interesting to see Manning and Matty James on the pitch afterwards - they obviously get on well. Hope the club will make every effort to keep James, maybe even getting him a bit of coaching to do.
  7. Sounded like a man thinking there might be a vacancy soon.
  8. Thanks all for the responses. Not totally unexpected but still a bit depressing. Football for either gender is nothing without dreams.
  9. Don't know anything about our women's team or the WSL but thinking of dragging daughter along for a game or two. A couple of silly questions if no-one minds: Is our women's team suffering from a lack of investing, poor recruitment, coaching or what? Obviously they're pretty much adrift at the moment so something is not quite ideal. Does the women's game have anything like FFP?
  10. That looks very good to me - not that we'll ever see it.
  11. Yup, think your right. No coconuts though. Watney's Red Barrell on tap as well.
  12. How have we got to page 2 without mentioning Diony and Styvar?
  13. Isn't Good Friday supposed to commemorate someone getting crucified?
  14. Agreed, but you never know with City. We should take hope from the performance against Southampton. Might be a good idea if Manning mentions that the game to the players.
  15. All true, of course, but the point is that the players wanted to go, as does Conway reportedly. Also, despite all the player sales we still make a substantial loss every year, FFP angle or not. Is it therefore reasonable to demand that all proceeds from a player sale have to be spent? BTW, £10m for Semenyo doesn't look like a great deal for us now does it?
  16. A word invented in the Harry Potter universe. The language of snakes apparently. Every day is a learning day...
  17. Sorry, could someone explain to me why he was a legend as a player. Long serving certainly, but all his best years were in tier 3. Had the odd decent game in tier 2 but nothing to write home about IMO. Then there's his performance in the playoff final vs Brighton - he was shocking, but instead of holding his hand up put all the blame on Danny Wilson.
  18. I think he's saying that they should invade Poland.
  19. The only good thing about that is that when he fails we should see the back of him for good.
  20. You're not kidding - he spent a King's ransom on getting Forest to 4th in the Championship and then promoted after very lucky playoff win against Huddersfield. Only my opinion, but there's nothing in our history to suggest that Lansdown would provide that level of support.
  21. Sorry to drag this back. What exactly was the Nolan sister Incident?
  22. Very sad news. He can Ask Elvis himself now. RIP
  23. The scouse version: https://images.app.goo.gl/hMiX6BUr15YxqBASA
  24. It was. It's a very sad day in a man's life when he goes to somewhere like that and finds that the grannies are far too young.
  25. In this case the OP said that they were police officers (not representatives of NFFC). Don't think that football clubs can just apply their own rules with no involvement of the authorities - the involvement of the police at matches isn't optional for football clubs.
