Have a word with your labour mates and oust Corbin. You might have a hope in hell's chance then! Nah.

I'm convinced it will be none and that's the sad thing about this, decisions being made without consulting the most important people. BFC income from fans is, at most, 7 or 8 million a year. TV revenue for BFC is over £100 Million per season. Who do you think has the most sway with Premier League C...

To answer the OP's question - who knows. Would those 3 have made a difference or would they have caught the general malaise that seemed to have infected the whole team at Bramall Lane? We can't say, BUT, we can play badly on any given day and do so 2 or 3 times a season just as we can play like pote...

That's the Premier League table with everybody given an extra 64 points (+3 extra for Liverpool/City). Sort of. It works as if every team takes 3 points from every game + 1 extra point for potential goal difference. That number will decrease for each team as the season goes on until, hopefully, 3 t...

I bought some Firestar 'Atomic Boom' fireworks from Morrisons. It DOES say, keep at least 8 M away from the firework. The first one I let off, made no banging sound, just a squeel.

You get, to a fair degree, what you are prepared to pay for. Only a certain number of Border Force people work on the front line.

We're a bits and bobs team who likes to get the ball into the box at every possible opportunity. When have we dominated possession and/or played a (usual?) counter attacking style? We dominate possession in cup games against lower league sides. I can particularly recall games against West Brom and ...

Should have gone to specsavers 8-) 8-) We struggle in games where we dominate possession. We are not good at playing any differently than our usual counter-attacking style.

Taylor did nothing wrong except get injured and he loses his place to an inferior player But Pieters isn't inferior. He has different strengths and weaknesses but he is a decent Premier League defender. Charlie Taylor is also a decent Premier League defender who will get the shirt when Pieters no l...

Looks like a clear win on appeal for the PFA based on the facts we are aware of. I suspect it will end up with them having to pay him off either at full wages due or some figure close to it. What sacking him gains is that he is no longer entitled to the agreed squad bonus payments which is probably ...

H-O was already going down BEFORE Lowton touched his back. He had anticipated Tarky's foot being there and hurled himself forward with both feet pointing backwards. So he was diving and Lowton's touch made no difference.

Could it be that SD sees he has someone of equal calibre already has the shirt - and under SD's mantra of team before ego it is for Pieters to lose his grip on the shirt rather than the other way round.
