    BOGMISH Rd 1:2 - Stockport v Freddy's debut

    Aptly enough on the day after relegation back to the fourth division, our second first round tie throws up two 4th division promotion seasons. The first one, was the 1986/87 season and ORM's nomination of Stockport away. Football was having a bad time with the Bradford Fire disaster and Hysel...
  5. The Storm on Stamford Bridge

    When John Terry was jeered off the White Hart Lane turf by the Tottenham faithful, it marked what could become a tense and altogether uncomfortable climax to the season. As they pray for a similar fate to befall their title rivals next weekend, however, a far greater storm awaits on the horizon...

    Question Should we blame the 'Consortium' ?

    I am not exonerating RM but I have heard it said that the 'Consortium' stepped in to prevent RM from putting the Club into Administration in November, (in a similar style to Ken Bates), to deliberately make RM's life difficult - supposedly due to dissatisfaction from past dealings with RM...

    ****ing Cyclists

    With sincere apologies for the responsible and sensible cyclists here, but what is it with ****ing cyclists. Twice in a matter of seconds this morning I came close to breathing my last due to two irresponsible idiots. After getting off the bus at Benfleet Station the lights were obligingly set...
  9. Would A 'Bracket' Style Tournament Work?

    Inspired by March Madness and the almost traditional mundane nature of the Carling Cup, Do you think that a bracket tournament would work in English football? Simply draw up the bracket, similar to this one: Have an initial draw for the 64 teams (44 from the top two tiers, 20 qualifiers from...

    Discuss / Rant.... Just watched the pilot of a dark comedy from the stable of Jessica Hynes & Julia Davis - similar in a way to Nighty Night....which I believe was shown at a reasonable hour during the week. It was very funny, and very dark and occasionally very uncomfortable - the sort of...

    Question Do you check?

    Similar to last week's wipe up or wipe down discussion....... Discussion in the pub yesterday (not sure how it came about) as to whether you 'check' your paper post wiping after a dump. My process is that after 3 wipes I will check to see if I'm coming up clean or whether further wiping is...

    Clothing

    I know a few on here like their clobber... me included. Rather than discussing "what book / music / film have you read", thought it might be an idea to discuss what we're buying when it comes to menswear. Start with trainers, have recently snapped up a pair of SL72's, similar to these...

    Question Replacement Season Cards

    Had my wallet nicked in early January which (along with less important things such as cash, credit cards and driving license) contained my Season Card. Gave the ticket office a crime reference and they said they'd send a new one through the post. Nothing arrived, I used a spare season ticket...

    The Price Is Wrong

    I think it’s time to have a look at that Fit and Proper Persons test. The existing document focuses heavily on issues of past fraudulent behaviour, but that’s not good enough. Given everything that has happened at Portsmouth and the horrors that David Sullivan and David Gold have inherited at...

    Fledgling Managers we Could'a Had

    So, we've got the thread about young players we turned away... so which fledgling manager might have taken these stars under his wing had he not been rejected in similar fashion to the players? This might be a tough one and subject to past rumours more than anything else, but I'd offer Bobby...

    Cheryl Cole. Grrrr.

    There are a million and one reasons to dislike Cheryl Cole. There’s her colour, for starters, a curious orangey glow that smacks of either too much Sunny Delight or too many quid-a-minute South Shields tanning salons. There’s her husband, the odious little skraeling who earns more money in the...
