Magyars v Corbyn would be fun
Reckon Corbyn would be lucky to get nil after the match against the USSR in 1956 or thereabouts

Not a thrashing but this one must have been difficult to take in 1958 Half time: Burnley 3 Manchester City 0 Full time: Burnley 3 Manchester City 4 It was CT and my memory may be misleading but I think we had a 3-3 draw with Birmingham soon after I was wrong having checked with the results that and...

Jock took over from Arthur Woodruff and I am pleased to say I saw both play for us but cannot recall who took over from Jock before ANGUS got the shirt.

If we the human race doesn't fix it Nature eventually will and I have more confidence in Nature doing it although all posters on here as well as myself and our great great to almost infinity grandchildren will not see it finished.

I still think we will have a minority Labour Government propped up by SNP to get their second referendum and the Lib dems to stop Brexit by having a second referendum but I expect the Tories to have most seats but too few for a majority Government .

I suppose the same question could have been asked of our players last week.

Might not have been as bad if he hadn't overreacted as he went down.

Actually the NHS does manufacture its own drugs in one sense, in aseptic units (sterile units where injections and other things are prepared). This is a minority though. The NHS also has to have strong partnerships with many drug companies, working together on clinical trials and similar projects. ...

The problem as I see it is that you cant actually run a service of any kind whilst having a focus on cost reduction - it just doesn't work. You have to run a service as a service and accept that there will be losses due to misuse of that service because some people are only in it for themselves. Un...

Pretty sure we will get a hung parliament again as Tories will lose in Scotland many of their 13 MPs and in the SW IMO so won't pick up enough Labour seats to get a majority and that is without the effects of the Brexit Party.

I cannot see how any one party will get a majority. SNP will sweep up the Scottish Tory seats given the Brexit stance of the Tory party and so to stand still they will have to gain 13 seats in England. They are unlikely to unseat sitting Lib Dem MPs and will likely lose seats in the South West to th...

Despite Stan serving 6 years and Sean 7 we have still had six mangers since Waddle left in the summer of 1998. I think Cotts did 3 years and 4 months OC did about 2 years and 2 months Laws 11 months and Eddie 1 year and 9 months. Sean must be the longest post war manager for us after Mr Harry Potts.
