no way Wood will start given his lack of football

edit: so get your money on him starting

Hopefully he plays some part in the game, he's scored in all our last 5 games against them. Even got two in the 3-0 "riot" game.
Get him on there, that'll make 'em panic.

Odd selection/performance by Norwich definitely. I thought BHA would play pretty cautiously (them needing very few more points for safety) and thus Norwich would really go for it. Manager then leaves out the team's 2 top scorers (11 for Pukki, 7 for Cantwell; next highest 3) and the team dont really...

Some terrific horses on show today at Epsom Downs, shame there's no live crowd but TV coverage should be good.

I've heard Brighton are under pressure from wokes to change to Blefton too.

Defund the BBC. This movement is really strengthening lately and got a further boost yesterday when BBC announced cuts to (English) regional services- a few days after announcing it was spending £100 million on "diversity" (even though an independent investigation has just recently found that minor...

Well done TY, I hadnt realized it was Epsom this weekend; Oaks and Derby on the same day-wow. A month late, Epsom Friday Oaks Day/Ladies Day is my favourite racing day out of the year. Been going for 10-15 years now with some (now ex) workmates. Still- I'll be able to watch from my living room and h...

Nice appreciation CT.

Great achievement by Ben - in this modern era especially. Hopefully he'll make it a fair few more places up that list. There's certainly no reason to feel his performance is dropping off as he enters his 30s, he seems as good as/better than ever.

LeadBelly

Another 1-0 for the Clarets; three in a row.

LeadBelly

He's done a good job for us and said a lot of good things about our squad/club when interviewed. He's not been a major cog in the works but always done what the manager asked him to do when he's started/ come on. He's been a good team man to have around. Best wishes to him in whatever he does next i...

Yeah Hull are looking in very poor shape, 1 point from the last 5 games. They have Boro to play on Thursday and that could be a ray of hope for them before visiting WBA on Sunday then Bristol mid next week. Huddersfield too need to pull their fingers out sometime soon with (as stated above) Luton an...

Before he took the knee, Charisma-Free Keir really should've read the small print. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/keir-starmer-defund-police-black-lives-matter-backlash-a4483981.html "Black Lives Matter UK criticises Labour Leader Keir Starmer for dismissing calls to defund the police" Ye...

"wouldve ended today" is more like it. Presumably he got a year or two pay off to enable him to take the other jobs hes done.

Still bloomin' hilarious though, not one of Ashley's greatest decisions.

Due to all that weight he was carrying around apparently.

I was feeling optimistic earlier and had "a couple of bob" on us winning (13/5 odds). Optimism has faded a bit during the day though, so ... 1-1

LeadBelly

I think that Watford fans' message-board will be worth reading again after this game. They were more than disenchanted after losing away to us; losing H to Saints should be worth some real gems on there.

First pub in which I got a pre-match underage pint (Masseys) c. 1966/7.

Not actually been in there for over 30 years but I like the building, red brick, 3 floors, lots of windows. I hope the building can be used for another purpose rather than knocked down.

LeadBelly

Although Norwich are possibly as good as any of those others now, they're too far adrift & it's difficult to see an escape for them. Looks like Hammers have an easier fixture list than any of the others and should have enough to stay just clear of the carnage. Not much between Villa, Bournemouth and...

It's going to be replaced my some other policing set up though - otherwise it's back to "wild west" days with everybody openly carrying a gun & fastest draw wins. With no police, the winners would be gun-sellers. I think gun sales are already doing great in USA as people begin to worry about protect...

Hang on, I have a new favourite :lol: ..... I admit that I like to read opponents' message boards pre and post match too. You can have a good laugh at some of the dumb comments without it being so personal/meaningful to you as it would be here. One that surprised me yesterday was as bad as anything...

The point some people have been trying to make is not that they wouldn’t want to make a gesture but that in this febrile atmosphere they don’t have a choice. As the more fervent supporters have stated if you don’t support it then you are a racist. I agree. There's as much chance of anybody who does...

Why do so called big clubs keep paying David Luiz large amounts of money to turn up for them, he has always been garbage?

After seeing the heads-up on here, I forgot about it.

All momentum has gone. I think it will be fascinating to see how teams restart the season from a standing start. Agreed, there'll be some odd results because of the different (previously not encountered for many years for most players) lack of atmosphere + the long break. Teams that were on poor ru...

I was going to the John Smiths meeting at York in July. I assume that's only going to go ahead behind closed doors. I'm really going to miss that day of sunshine, beer, beer, beer, silliness, beer, more silliness, massive hangover. I went to York racing for the first time last August whilst I was v...

I'm missing live music more than live sport.

Ive been TV watching the French racing for the last fortnight or so. Lost a few quid so hopefully will do better on the returning UK racing.

Quatermass and the Pit on TV in 1958/9 scared the bejesus out of me as a 9 year old, gave me a few nightmares. For a film, at the time, The Exorcist was very scary.

One red card (for two yellows) and that's somehow it. To me, it suggests PB is very good at judging referees and what he can and cant get away with as they officiate. He certainly "likes a challenge" - and fortunately there's still a bit of body contact allowed in today's game (a rediculously small...

Very decent player through his 20s (for Saints & Scouses) Just gone 32 yo, only made 40 leagues appearances in the past (not yet quite) 3 seasons. Around 30 of those appearances as a sub.

Tetleys was a very decent choice at that time, used to be able to get that at The Borough Hotel (near Manchester Road train station) in late 60s/early 70s (maybe even later as I'm not sure when that pub closed).

I think my first venture into beer drinking would be Massey's as well at 14, "a pint of mixed landlord and make it snappy" 😂 Around 1 shilling & 10 pence for that?

Didnt they then bring out Brew 11 which was worse? My first pints were Massey's which seemed pretty decent (although I wasnt an experienced drinker). The Brew X replacement was noticeably less good.

I have nothing particularly against Cummings but his Barnard Castle trip story is risible.

Maybe Kyle Walker should've said he was just checking his eyesight when he had the "models" round his place.

He cleared it all up though didn't he? He told us he hadn't spoken to Celtic and then told us he'd turned them down after speaking to them. But on 25th May 2009 he was still considered God and his players did him proud that afternoon. None more so than Clarke Carlisle who turned in the performance ...

My son was born in Nottingham and although we moved away (to Co Durham) when he was a bairn, he's become a Forest supporter.
