I'm just frustrated with that minority, I'm still excited about where this club is heading.

It's good to have a vision of where we are trying to get to. I like it.

Where are the club heading? And what is the vision?

When Bing Crosby died Bob Hope, who apparently sometimes joked about Crosby's meanness with money, said that Bing knew he was going soon as he'd seen him go into a shop and buying an asbestos suitcase.

I liked this joke as it's funny on many levels.

Many reasons to stick with Kompany, but for me he has changed and become stubborn, and lets be fair he is starting to look totally out of his depths. So for the people that feel he could get us promoted again,when we go down, would you really want to see him back in the PL with us. When we got prom...

It occurred to me that these FFP rules are not meant for moneyed clubs - certainly not the likes of City and Chelsea - but rather clubs like us who haven't a hope of competing with them but may be tempted, leading to possible financial disaster. Ironic then that it is City and Chelsea that are being...

In the Bob Lord era there was a fad for having concerts at football grounds, often with big name pop stars. Our chairman decided to get in on the act. He chose (if I remember correctly) The Temperance Seven, a trad jazz band.

Wiki says there was a Lacrosse match in 1912. What was that like CT?

Do what you can being what you are.

Fancy altering a law that applies to all football just because VAR isn't working at the very top of of the game. How stupid is that? It's even more stupid because it changes the whole nature of offside (which as far as I know has always been 'in line is on side') and is moving in the direction of h...

No. I understand there maybe three different lenses/lasers (for CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays) and some don't seem convinced about cleaning them.

Is lens cleaning useful or could it possibly be harmful?

I expect BFC, primarily, in that the 3 years ended in 2021/22, to sue them, and I would expect it to settle out of court for far, far more than what Sheffield United got after the Tevez issue (£20m). Everton won’t enter administration because of the further points deduction and the impact it has on...

Your invoice will usually tell you if the meter reading is an estimate or actual reading.

As I understand it most companies use a meter reading contractor - Siemens often does readings around here (in Hertfordshire).

Contact EDF and ask how they do it.

The phrase 'project' can be useful. Most clubs, and certainly fans, have a simple aim, to win matches, play at the highest level possible and maybe win trophies. Some even demand a certain style of play. There are however other ways. I'm thinking of Crewe under Dario Gradi. He wasn't about winning s...

Hipper

Still don't know why we should take any notice what these people say. He's not going to say we're crap and he's looking forward an easy three points and improving his goal difference. That may wind us up and make things harder (well, less easy) for his team.

Hipper

In todays press conference did he not say that they (him, the board etc) had planned for all scenarios ? I doubt that will be as linear as staying up and relegation. It could be as detailed as relegation and potentially flipping some players who had done well or relegation and trying to go back up ...

Hipper

I think RickyBobby is misunderstanding the purpose of these stats. We WILL get a reprieve when we have so many touches in our left wing position just outside their box, because sooner or later those will lead to plenty of goals and wins, we can say this with confidence because it always does, that'...

Hipper

I won’t deviate and take myself into anything other than making sure we stay on plan, we stay ready to get the best out of this team.

Surely before anyone can comment on VK 'staying on plan' we need to know what the plan is.

What is 'the plan'? It may not necessarily include staying up.

Hipper

Christmas? When's that?

Hipper

Agree Taffy. I keep banging this drum, let the managers use VAR, not the officials. Let the officials officiate the game. If the manager thinks the official has missed something, then challenge and use VAR to help make the decision. As in the NFL, it may be necessary to limit what can and cannot be...

Hipper

Even in a fairly bad champ season by our standards you're guaranteed like 10 or 15 wins at least. I'd take that right now. The way things are going this season I reckon I've got about a grand total of 3 more wins to celebrate and make my weekend a good one footy wise between now and next August. Fk...

Anyone who continues to play that obnoxious cheat Jordan Ayew cannot be a gentleman.

Hipper

He was good last time we had him but he was miles off that standard today. So unbelievably weak. Had 3 players screaming in his face at half time - just send them off, its easy. Allowed constant time-wasting at goal kicks or have they been instructed to stop carding for that now? At least 10 mins s...

Hipper

I get the point that we (and it seems VK) have no idea what our best team is. That's the one hope we have. Sheffield United know what their best team is and are playing it!!!!!!

Her voice has matured nicely over the years. That's a really tasteful song. She is mostly considered a sort of country singer and has had a long career.

Issue with the Putin heart attack reports is that it would not be the first time Putin had played dead to see who was looking to take over… It seems highly likely the gulf/Eastern Europe conflicts are connected, it is clear as soon as you look at wider alliances.

Not only holding in the penalty area mostly ignored (as we found out at Forest) but also pushes in the back. Two blatant ones I've seen recently was Maguire on McAtee, Sheff U vs Man U a week or so ago, and a Spurs defender on a Palace player on Friday. I think we also saw it by Stones on Hoijlund w...

Hipper

As soon as McNeil, Calvert Lewin and Harrison got fit and into the side they have become a different team. I'm also impressed how Branthwaite has improved over the course of the season. It perhaps pays for a young player to play alongside the likes of Tarkowski. He had a loan at our friends down th...

Only seen Carets+ Replay and I wasn't too impressed. On seven minutes a Bournemouth defender goes straight through Amdouni, no foul given (it is a blatant foul), but then a Bournemouth player is tapped on the back of the leg and they, rightly, get a foul. I thought Taylor was fouled for their first ...

Probably the same ones that were adamant that Berges goal at Forest ( which we've subsequently had a letter of apology for) should have been ruled out for handball I didn't know we'd had a letter of apology.

We need to remember those early games when managers were praising us as being a really good side even if they had beaten us. It’ll come together.

Here's my frustration: All last season, every single game, we played out through Muric or Cullen dropping into the back line This season we aren't doing either. It's unfathomable that a man who is supposed to be super smart is doing something as stupid as he is this season 'All last season, every s...

Hipper

He was pretty poor after returning from injury last season, certainly not up to the first half. I would have thought if he was that good he would have got a deal at the top level. May still be better then what we've got but that may not be saying much and does not make him good enough.

Good effort but not so sure about the narration which seems a bit odd. Crimean War, the 'i' as in the 'o' of women. Surely it's 'i' as in crime.

Cotts bought Alexander with the intention of playing in midfield but was forced to initially play him as full back because of injuries. You could see he was no longer capable of that role but what a midfielder he proved to be. Inspired choice by Cotterill.

I've seen McNally in the Championship last season and this. He's a steady player and a bit ponderous. What he does is OK, defending reasonably well on the right side of a middle three. He's quite tidy on the ground and reads the game quite well. However he seems not quick enough in thought or deed f...

BBC News on the internet has a tab on the war in Ukraine. It's not as informative as the Institute for The Study of War but it's OK.

I don't agree about Zaroury. He started off well enough but he didn't keep those standards up in the latter part of the season. I don't know why. In the case of Muric, it's difficult to know how he would fare at this level but as the players in front of him can't cope it's difficult to see he how hi...
