A Horse With No Name

You're missing it. 2pm

Portchester sounds like one of those fictional clubs in a kids comic strip. Like Warbury.

And if you wanted to sit in the stand, you paid again at the stand entrance. Turnstiles were on the road, then you walked through a park to get to the ground.

Will Hull. Should'nt this be in the transfer rumour thread.

I read the post and thought Prince Andrew was kicking off again.

Ah, but that's a little unfair on Newcastle.

How do they know who the top six will be in November?

You're getting your pre's and pro's mixed up.

Serious question, but does a managers contract differ from a players, in so much as they can just resign and leave a club, whereas a player cannot.

He dropped down to FGR for a reason. Lets wait and see if he make the higher grade this time around.

Yes, one of our last games of the season saw Alex Scott go off with a nosebleed, which was deemed as concussion , and both teams were able to use 4 subs. Wonder if a concussion sub can still be used after the allotted 5 ?

An egg ?

I often wondered whether Arsene Wenger got the Arsenal job because of his name, and now Hartley Paul get the Hartlepool job. Must mean that Danny Shittu is in line for the Gas job?

Ok, so there is a growing number of Jesus Loves You type signs along many of our local main roads, and me being me, always try to think of a witty sign to place next to it. One on the Link Road by the Long Ashton roundabout says " Jesus Saves " and I would love to place one alongside which says " Sign Him Up For City Then ". Another I saw today on the Longwell Green Ring Road says " Only Jesus Saves " and it would be fun to put " But Bentley Does Try " Anyone else have the same humour as me ?

Grammar wouldn't have a capital G in the context with which you use it. Just saying.

If Villa had been timewasting when they were 2-0 up, which they probably did, why should they then benefit from added on time for their own timewasting when they are losing at the end ? I have always believed that in these instances the ref should be allowed to cancel the extra minutes so that the guilty team can't get their minutes back.

Yes but it depends on where you live really.

I have always said this. Makes a lot of sense.

You have to remember that any rule change has be applied to the game, right down to parks level and youth football. How would your suggestion work lower than say League 1 level, where there are no academies ?

Not since I saw how Semenyo bullied him and tied him in knots this season.

I am currently reading the book on Gerry Gow " He,s here he,s there", and while it is a story obviously on Gerry and his life, it strikes me the similarities of the workings of Dicks and Sillett in the early 70s to today, regarding building a team from the bottom introducing youngsters regularly. Anyway there is a chapter called " we have ourselves a team " where Dicks only realises, in about 1975 that his side is complete after a couple of players wreck a hotel kitchen on an away game. He asked rhem next day that anyone who wasn't responsible could leave the room, and no-one moved , so he said he would fine every one of them. Only one player got up and left saying he was'nt involved. Bobby Gould. He was sold a few months later, but that was when Dicks knew they were a team, not just a collection of players.

Stevenage ?

Thought they looked like anagrams, then I realised the first one is an anagram of en beach. Not hopeful of his commitment towards the end of a season.

Or that he has hay fever.

How do Northampton play this second half. All out defence to hold on or get the 4th to kill it off?
