31? I always thought he was much younger. Just looked him up on the wiki and he carved out a pretty good career for himself, sadly not for us.

John Clayton is one that comes to mind.

So many to choose from but here are some good ones:

Sonic Youth - Ca plane pour moi
Richard Thompson - Season of the witch
Motorhead - Sympathy for the devil
Rage Against The Machine - Renegades of funk
Aretha Franklin - Respect
The Breeders - Happiness is a warm gun
Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane

It was indeed. Two of the programming team put themselves in the game as international quality players at Cambridge United.

Sadly there is no Mark Collis or Ferrah Orosco (That's one for the older gamers to appreciate).

The perfect situation would be if we got a result against City and then Liverpool make a mess of one of their remaining fixtures. I fancy Wolves to get something against them.

Leeds fans think they have automatic right to be in the PL. They don’t. By contrast Sheff Utd is a good club with good fans who were great prior to Wembley in 09 and also gracious in defeat that day. Not the experience I had with Sheff Utd fans that day either. Out of all the interactions I had wit...

It was a terrible appointment in the first place and I'm glad he's gone. The Scottish FA had a really good opportunity to bring in Michael O'Neill and decided to go with McLeish 2.0.

One draw but it will be against City.

Off to Real Madrid in the summer for a world record fee I reckon. The Liverpool fans I know are in denial about it though.

It is an interesting debate about whether we would be where we are without him. I think we would. All the money from that brief sojourn into the premier league was gone when SD took over. Most of our signings were free transfers and there had been no money spent on infrastructure despite the million...

I'm hoping for a last minute dodgy penalty decision in our favour. It won't happen but I'd love to see their fans reaction when they finally get one against them.

claretabroad

What's the story behind the animosity? I know I've disliked Colin since Stan was manager but can't remember why at all.

claretabroad

The 2 Mee ones were definitely not penalties. Charlie Taylor got the ball. The Tarkowski one I haven't seen any clear footage of so couldn't say, maybe that could have been one. West Ham just got an absolute stinker of a penalty decision against them, that's one to be furious about.

He's already had one warning for his social media posts and the sponsors in Australia threatened to walk away over those. Sports stars should simply stay off social media but if they do then they should treat it as though they are doing a live interview. I have no sympathy for him at all.

Hope Hameed gets back to the form from his early career. Last year his first class average was 9.44.

If we are going to make a player the highest paid in our history it shouldn't be a full back. I love Trippier, he was on my list of 5 favourite players, but his wages are on a different level to what we can or should pay.

claretabroad

It's very strange situation and I have way more sympathy for Coventry than I do Notlob. The FA needs to pull its finger out and create some robust and enforcable rules to cover football club governance. I'm not holding my breath though, as the premier league riches are the driving force behind every...

Steve Harper - I know it doesn't make any sense. Every year there was a 3-5 game purple patch where he was unplayable. The rest of the season he might as well not have been on the field. It says everything about his career that the best goal he ever scored got wiped from the record books when Alders...

You've got both Ben Mee and Stephen Ward playing left back for Wolves there.

claretabroad

My inclination towards wanting fair refereeing is overriden by my joy of seeing Warnock suffer. They were robbed but a raging Warnock is worth it.

It's a terrible song regardless of who it is sung about. Surely someone can come up with something unique to us and him rather than regurgitate that dirge.

Karl Marx said "Religion is the Opium of the people"... Hows that for linking up a few different threads :D No. He didn't.

I had a lower leg amputation several years ago and am a volunteer for an amputee charity who provide support and information for people who have had an amputation or are about to go through the process. Is there a way I can contact you directly?

No, you'll find two.

I like this move. It's a short term signing that has quite a few positives. Our overall transfer strategy hasn't been particularly good over the last year but bringing in an experienced premier league player until the end of the season is one of our better moves.

Will never forget that cup game at Shrewsbury just before Christmas. 93 or 94. 1-0 down, last few minutes with their lot chanting "We're all going to Sheffield" (next round). They get a penalty to go 2-0 up. Marlon saves. Straight from kick-off we equalise. Then in injury-time, Conroy smashes in th...

Scotland currently have 29 players on the injured list. I'd like to see them do well but think the timing isn't right for them to put out a competitive side for every game.

I remember going to watch Canberra Cosmos play a game against Eastern Pride and he was on the bench. In the match programme he had magically become 2 years younger. I'm not sure what he made of the one fan wearing a Burnley shirt and drunkenly chanting his name.

Let me tell you about the scam my wife's US college runs over its tickets for american football. At the beginning of the year she gets an email asking which games she would like to go to. There is no such thing as a season ticket but she could theoretically apply for tickets for every game. The Univ...

Firstly, that's not true. The Canada - EU trade agreement, for example, has zero tariffs. Secondly, you said "a lot more" expensive.

because any negotiated trade deal will have a tariff on alchohol higher than what we have now.

It won't be under threat, just a lot more expensive.

I'm not vegan but was vegetarian for over a decade. It is going to be hard until you work out what you can and can't eat (and there are lots of animal sourced ingredients in surprising places).

+1 for Glenn. Adrian Randall was an enigma. He was capable of some moments of unbelievable skill and his first touch always put him in space but he never managed to apply his talents consistently on the field. Frustration personified. In addition: Inchy. He did have an established top flight career ...

Looked exactly like a player coming back from a long term injury, flashes of what we know he can do but inconsistent. I'll revisit after another 3 games as we will have a much better idea by then but so far it is promising.
