    Do I agree with what he said? No

    Does he have a right to say it? Yes. 

    Don't agree with it? Move on. Seen on twitter people are calling for him to be sacked..... Idiots in my book. He's done nothing illegal. 

    It's the lacking of self-awareness and the utter hypocrisy on Sinclair's part that makes me smile to myself.

    Sinclair is a self-confessed (pleaded guilty), convicted racist who, on such a very sad day for people of all nationalities, ethnicities and religions, feels the need to remind us all that racism is alive and well in the UK.

    Just in case anyone hasn't said it already Leeds have the most annoying fans. Villa a close second. Millwall have comedy fans, I don't think no one likes them, no one takes them seriously. Knees up muver braaaan raand the old joaaaana and all that. 

    So you do think that someone likes them.........?

    It's not just away either. 2 fifty something blokes in the Dolman the other week getting all hard and pushy with a younger fan just as the AG 8 were coming on. Those 'fans' too busy relieving their youth to applaud and witness what was a real special moment 

    Wow, the entertainment at football matches has certainly got very modern in recent years.......

    and since then........over 7years ago and apart from getting sacked by various clubs hes achieved what exactly? hardly "solid"

    I am ashamed that the manager who got us to this div was given just 256 DAYS after he got us here and after we gave him little to no money, then we go and waste multi-millions on the managers that followed.

    Seems we have learned nothing as NP is given 3yr contract based on what, certainly not the last 7yrs in management.

    And he's not doing too badly with next to no money at Shrewsbury.......

    Someone on the beeb website said that Man city decided what kind of team they wanted and bought the players they wanted. Utd threw money at a load of players and hoped they had a team!

    And, under Ashton/Johnson, we copied the Man U play book.......

  7. Mike Scott of The Waterboys is one of the finest songwriters around. The current awful situation in The Ukraine just reminded me of this song which is one of his best ones from the early days ('A Pagan Place' - 1984). Quite poignant lyrics really.

    The Red Army Blues

     
    Red Army blues :: Waterboys
    When I left my home and my family
    my mother said to me
    "Son, it's not how many Germans you kill that counts
    it's how many people you set free"
    So I packed my bags
    brushed my cap
    Walked out into the world
    seventeen years old
    Never kissed a girl
    Took the train to Voronezh
    that was as far as it would go
    Changed my sacks for a uniform
    bit my lip against the snow
    I prayed for mother Russia
    in the summer of '43
    And as we drove the Germans back
    I really believed
    That God was listening to me
    We howled into Berlin
    tore the smoking buildings down
    Raised the red flag high
    burnt the reichstag brown
    I saw my first American
    and he looked a lot like me
    He had the same kinda farmer's face
    said he'd come from some place called Hazzard, Tennessee
    Then the war was over
    my discharge papers came
    Me and twenty hundred others
    went to Stettiner for the train
    Kiev! said the commissar
    from there your own way home
    But I never got to Kiev
    we never came by home
    Train went north to the Taiga
    we were stripped and marched in file
    Up the great siberian road
    for miles and miles and miles and miles
    Dressed in stripes and tatters
    in a gulag left to die
    All because Comrade Stalin was scared that
    we'd become too westernized!
    Used to love my country
    used to be so young
    Used to believe that life was
    the best song ever sung
    I would have died for my country
    in 1945
    But now only one thing remains
    but now only one thing remains
    But now only one thing remains
    but now only one thing remains
    The brute will to survive!
