Or, nothing you wanted to see.

Yeah, from GMG's comments it sounds like they are just negotiating the settlement figure.

Remember the days when Jurgen the German joined Spurs and introduced the English game to the art of diving. Much to the distain of proper fans. 20, 30 years later (how long has it been?) and that is bloody nothing compared to the crap that goes on today.

And that's probably why he'd miss out on a legitimate pen shout.

Good poiunt re Britton. Since he hasn't signed a new contract I guess there's little point in investring much hope of him coming through. And I honestly think loans are not a very good way to 'strengthen' your team - short term advantage (possibly - but a risk) leading to mid/long term disadvantage.

Well we all said we'd have given it. Obviously not as clear cut as the one they got - probably a 70/30 shout in favour of the pen.

Number 2 is the more worrying aspect to me. That just sums up how mentally weak we are.

I don't think you can blame LJ for not using Scott. If he was here under LJ's tenure he'd have been 16 at most.

There are pros and cons of both. I can see why he's doing it, and I can see why it irks some that he does. Personally I don't care what he does if we're winning ...

Some lifers probably get less. But fair play for bothering - can't be easy sometimes.

There might be eleven named, but it looks more like a starting nine.

Well, I'd hope we'd have HNM available. I'd put in him ahead of Bakinson, and swap Scott and Palmers positions.

Probably doesn't help with most fans arriving late, or staying in the concource until 5 minutes from the start. Mind you we don't have the Rocking Robins anymore ...

You see it all the time don't you. There is no hope for some, I'm not sure they realise what the point of going to football is. The fans who video parts of games are similar - some using ipads ffs - they take themselves out of being a participant by doing that, losing what it is to be there. (My phone stays in my pocket until half time/full time when I might text a couple of mates my thoughts on proceedings. Nothing worthwhile or insghtful unfortunately: Saturday's halftime keyword was 'non-conpetative')

I think that anyone under about 35-40 just has no clue about what an atmosphere was. Changes in attitude/the rot set in when grounds started to become all seater. I'm convinced I've been in crowds of 5 or 6k near the bottom of the fourth division when the home ashton gate crowd was more vocal than it's been (bar man utd/man city/the one time in 20 years we play rovers). I'm in the middle of the Dolman and if I hear it (and its not a negative chant - no need for it - get behind yourt team) I join in. I'm the 1 in 100 there. But the middle of the SS is pretty pathetic. I guess times have changed, mostly for the better, but probably if the atmosphere gets much worse we'll have the American's landing and planting flags in the centre circle during games.

I actually meant without but it almost scans as well this way.

I'd love it if that was a direct copy/paste from the beeb website

In one instance he couldn't even be bothered to lift his leg and make a stab at winning a loose ball just outside of our box. Prefered to let the Bournemouth player take it for free. Absolute liability with the ball.

You can't stop anyone moving jobs subject to contract.

Reason why I buy the training tops.

Sign him on!

The South Stand is hardly full at the moment, you want to spread the butter that thin Realistically this is won't happen for logistical reasons - if they they can redevelop the Atyeo, maybe this could be incorporated - i.e. shove the away fans to the right side like in the first division days.

It's not really those clubs in particular (though deep down it might be!), it's more of a frustration that unless and until we can up our levels we're always going to lose players that can get us there before we've given ourselves a chance to get there. Almost a self fulfilling prophecy. It's like only able to run 25 miles of the marathon.

Yep. Life is life. It's the hope that gets me ...

Wow, you've got a good memory. I can't even recall the name. Wikipedia says he made 3 appearances on loan.
