Probably would have quadrupled the way Labour were going on in the early 2000's.

Not that I am or ever have been a Tory or a supporter/voter of them.

No, it's just less than doubled in 9 years.

Edit - less

Also the debt doubled in just 4 years before the Tories got into power.

I witnessed an incident a couple of years back on the stretch of the road that runs from Bank Hall Bridge to Duke Bar. A car ran the lights at Hebrew Rd and collided with a pedestrian sending him flying through the air and shattering his leg and pelvis (I know the injuries caused as I had a couple ...

Some can only talk about Andre Gray’s poor touch. I prefer to look at his goal return, how it was such a factor in taking us up and then keeping us up.

Terrific for us for two years.

Of course, but we could have won the Premier League title had he had a good first touch.

Two league wins at Crewe in 1987/88 & 2001/02 - but also won there in the League Cup in 1984/85 & the Auto Windscreens in 1995/96 when Kurt Nogan scored a golden goal. Been 4 times and we even got beat when we won the 4th Division. The moral of this story is, if we ever play Crewe again I s...

Same here. I've never seen us win there.

Whatever they said they were wrong. Justification being not an unnatural position is ********. His arm was out at right angles, he wasn’t that close, it was a pen.

Both the first and third goals were helped by the goalkeeper getting his knickers in such a twist over Barnes standing near him, that he forgot to concentrate on the ball. Watch the first one - he gave Barnes a two handed shove, smack bang into the right place to score from! :lol: The way Westwood ...

I'll start to worry if we move Bardsley in to centre midfield.

Got all the attention it needs today. Bardsley is our most effective right sided full back. Seeing as the full backs primary role is to defend, and bearing in mind we spend a lot more time defending than attacking down the flanks, I’d say the position should be his. I agree, but Bardsley is 34 year...

Didn't fit our style like Vossen and Bamford.

A better fella than both of them though.

Got all bases covered with that one, from ending his loan early to not extending it/signing him in January.

Either way he will say, I told you so.

Fud.

Of course we know by now that us having a man on the Goalie at corners is what we do, but I don't think it was needed today.

Looked like he was running through treacle at times last week.

A position that demands a bit of attention over the coming months.

As much as I dislike Man Utd (we're talking Bar Steward levels here) I don't think that McNeil is what they need or good enough at the minute for what they need.

Besides, unless he's after the brass, he'd be a fool to go there at present time.

We struggle in games where we dominate possession. We are not good at playing any differently than our usual counter-attacking style. It isn't a new thing, I can think of many games in the last few seasons where we have suffered against teams who were happy to let us have the ball. We're a bits and...

But it's not down to this. It's down to what we do outfield. Which isn't good enough. You're not wrong. But this thread is clearly titled as 'Pope', and that's what I'm commenting on.

I was three rows back from the old couple and though I couldn't hear what was said (yes, I'm guessing), the gist of the situation appears that the old couple had the temerity to want to watch the match seated.

Premier League managers are forever talking about how they got the tactics wrong in post match interviews when they get beat.

We're so predictable when we have the ball at the back.

I was groaning every time the ball was played to Mee.

His first touch allows the man pressing to get closer, and besides his lumping (long ball/hoof) isn't very good.
