A lot of truth in what you say, certainly for my lot. But unfortunately, the habit of a lifetime is beginning to lose it's lustre, especially as it's becoming more and more expensive.

So Pearson (allegedly) was barely at the training ground, but Manning is there all the time. So, with the benefit of that, is our football and PPG any better now? it certainly should be, but unfortunately it is not.

Straws are there to be clutched, but they really ain’t much use if you’re drowning.

It’s hard to see so many empty seats all around the ground, (even when we’re not being televised live). Several of my family and friends have season tickets (and have done for years), but now don’t bother to come. They say (and in all truth, I can’t argue) that our style of play is too ponderous and one-dimensional. The excitement and atmosphere fans crave has gone as much of our football is boring and predictable with far too few goals and goalmouth action. Whatever bullshit hype is dished out ahead of next season, I reckon many supporters won’t be buying or renewing season tickets.

No doubt about it, we were really poor and totally outplayed for virtually the whole game. For those who go on about how good Leeds are, let’s remember that other clubs outside of the top six, have beaten them or got a draw. They are a good team, but not invincible. We gave them far too much respect, room and time, and it looked like we went into the game lacking belief and ideas. Contrast that with how pretty-average Preston applied themselves when they beat Leeds recently.

Sending him to jail seems harsh, but it might just work.

I think you’ve made your point.

Good song for our new buddy. Even though some will say “Oh dire me”

Mebude may well be our loan striker up front. As he’s Scottish, using an improvised Scottish accent, our new friend’s nickname could be Ma Buddy.

Going by that rate, by tomorrow morning he’ll have disappeared, and we’ll wake up thinking it was all just a dream.

Well said Isewater, old chap. Like Johnny Tillotson's song, your musings are simply "Poetry emotion" (sic)

If a fan stands the same as anyone else, do they Kop it?

Dunno. Do you reckon Sam Fox?

Don’t mind us being called “dirty” as long as we keep clean sheets. However, Leeds calling us “dirty” just won’t wash with many on this forum. And finally, I have seen numerous posts where fellow Reds refer to the constant “wash, rinse, repeat” cycles at this club. Okay, I’ll dry up now.

Sounds like he's a bit of a Nott case. Am I right? Is that him or Nottm?

Because of our injuries and suspensions, because of the additional players they will have available, and because they need a good cup run, I think Forest will beat us. But we all know football is so unpredictable. After the humiliation of failing to get a trip to Liverpool, the miserable Fewers will be crapping their pants and praying that we lose. The pain for them will be unbearable if we are lucky enough to secure a home tie against Man Utd, bringing with it a sell-out crowd, financial rewards and global TV exposure. Personally I'm not that bothered about the Cup, as I want us to concentrate on getting up the table, But for the many supporters who want us to do well in the Cup, I hope the team delivers.

Do you reckon Manning will start practising, swinging one of the ball-boys round in circles?

Reds on you come.

Do you have the date for collections?

I'm sure no-one on here intends to remove their brain.

Newport at home will be a tough ask, but fair enough.

Rovers claim winning cups is not important to them, as they have plenty of mugs on the terraces.

Merseyside Police have just confirmed there are 10,000 distraught Fewers locked outside Anfield singing Yvonne Fair's "It should have been me" But on the positive side, sympathetic Norwich and Liverpool fans have sung back to them "You're everyone's other favourite team, and you know you are"

What's the difference between a decent bloke, a thoroughly decent bloke and a thoroughly, thoroughly decent bloke? Has anyone ever attained the highly-prized and elevated status of being a thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly decent bloke?

If your wife says that what you say is wrong, tell her she's right.
