I saw the headline and as you do thought wow 50 years ago, I wonder what life was like back then. Then I realised that I was already 15 years old.

You honestly think he wouldn’t or shouldn’t try and get the fans on board? Did you actually read what I said. It wasn't in Swahili you know. ;) I did say that it is what they do. I haven't got a problem with it but don't take me and other more worldly and perhaps yes maybe more cynical people for m...

Bingo, and here it is from Heaton... “I spent a bit of time working with Nigel Spink at Bristol City, obviously a bit of a hero at the football club. “I spoke to him not so long ago and he filled me in on what the club is all about and how much it means to everyone.” And just in case a chat with Vil...

Let's keep it humorous and light hearted.

I agree with Heathclaret. Heatons comments are a bit weasel words for me. Just wait for the usual bullshit...Oh I'm so glad to be at Villa, I've always thought what a fantastic club, I'd spoken to so and so about it and he said it is heaven on earth etc etc. Actions speak louder than words and he le...

It takes time this transfer malarky. Rigg will be up and running at full speed about the same time as Defour.

Corky

The picture you use of the bob lord entrance does it still look **** like that or has it been spruced up. Have the gaps on the brickwork columns to either side of the door been sorted.

Corky

I'm being a bit lazy here but.... Do we know the specifics of why Heaton is leaving. He had a year left on his contract and had been in negotiations with the Club on a new deal. Do we know what that new deal was. And if so what were the stumbling blocks. Did he want more money or a longer deal that ...

Can someone explain to me what was the point in playing him last night.

Corky

Surely, to show how dynamic and forward thinking they are it will be Watneys Red Barrel.

Aside from the obvious Orient game and Wembley v Sheff Utd it has to be getting beat by Eintracht Frankfurt in 1967. We drew the first match in Germany and I was so confident we would win on the Turf. I can still remember, clearly to this day, walking off the Turf on that April night where I had bee...

We really do need to do a proper risk assessment on Defour. Regardless of that we are stuck with him until he is repaired. How long that will be and how successful the repair is, is in the lap of the Gods. The best thing to do is to try and sell him as soon as he is fit, windows permitting. So hopef...

So true. No doubting his credentials as a good manager but some of the management psychobabble he comes out with is hard to swallow at times.

I'm going to a Mecca reunion tonight in London. Levine and Curtis (or Dimond as he now calls himself - well it is his real surname) DJing together. Must say I can't abide Levine but have a lot of time for Curtis. Should be good. Will be on the pop from 18:30 so could get messy on the dance floor. I'...

It is not a ridiculous comment it is my view based on the comment you made on that thread. If you are man enough then print what you said and let others judge.

Tim Brown bought his off Kev Roberts for £5k. And I thought there were only 3 known copies. Never heard of Berry Gordy having one.

I think gender neutral toilets are a great idea and I'll tell you why. Many years ago around 1985ish I went to the Gay club Heaven in London as the resident DJ at the time Ian Levine wanted to do a Northern Soul spot in the middle of his normal HiNRGY stuff. So he asked a good friend of mine if he w...

Just curious, but, is Defour a member of the BDSG.

Corky

To me it’s all to transparently contrived to be taken seriously, but I suppose we’ll have to wait until the next election to see. I agree. The programme left me with more questions than answers and the evidence such as it was, was anecdotal at best. I hope I am not being too harsh but I was surpris...

Corky

If Defour is indeed still recovering from his original injury of 100 years ago then we need to strengthen midfield. Even with him I think we need to do so but without him it is imperative.

Corky

I seem to recall CT saying that since Pope's recovery, on the few games he'd seen, Pope hadn't played particularly well.

This is the real world, you need to get used to it. 24/7/365 connectivity is now the norm. What we are going to do with that one day every four years goodness only knows.

It looks to be made out of satin, surely not. And the detail on the shoulders and sleeves is awful. I'll stick to my Claret Baracuta Harrington to which I have sown an old BFC badge.

Generally speaking she is one of the more down to earth and likeable MPs but on this occasion she seemed to obfuscate just like the rest of them. She was asked why schools in Birmingham who allegedly, on average, get more money per child for education than other areas still can't afford to keep the ...

Is there any chance that someone could provide a couple of pictures from inside the ground showing what the new corner stands now look like?

Why the contempt for rounders and the people who play it? And why the scorn for the hats?

It is called humour, perhaps an alien concept to you.

Corky

Baseball to give it the correct definition is; rounders with hats. One of a number of American sports not be taken too seriously.

Given that he has accepted a Knighthood you have got to wonder what dark awful secrets he has hidden in his closet. No doubt we will find out in 5/10/20 years time.

The stand opposite the main stand at the Sixfields in Northampton is double sided and serves as a grandstand for the adjacent Athletics Track. Surely it couldn’t be beyond the wit of an architect to design something similar at the Turf? Maybe the Pavilion could remain more or less in its original f...

I think that generally Hunt is seen as a more socially aware sort of chap. As much as a Tory can be seen as caring about normal folk, which isn't much. So if I had to pick it would be him. And besides, Boris made himself look such an incompetent idiot when at the Foreign Office he shouldn't be anywh...

The 4 sides are The Bob Lord, The CFS, The Longside and The Jimmy Mac. Surely that should tell the Club something.

Thanks IT. Yes I mean the Gang/Drugs culture plays a big part in the problem.

According to my Daughter who is a Teacher in a North London Secondary School the County Lines kids could earn £500 a day, that has now gone up to £2000 a day.
