Re: What are you playing tonight?

Re: Problems with Gartside

The way I see it, whilst the fans are pointing to our level of debt and crying foul, they want us to have money to spend on players etc. which would add to our levels of debt - which seems to be a nonsense, in the absence of "magic sticks" to make it go away. I think Freedman took the hard steps th...

Re: Bournemouth frustration...

I think we've reached the point that if we don't take an immediate lead things will get pretty bad indeed. The first scuffed shot or pass and the boos will start. Not that I'd blame anyone. I'm impressed with anyone who'll make the effort to go on Saturday. I'll not be there. 2-1 win I'm going, I'v...

Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr

I don't have much to add. It was unbelievable how little protection having BOTH Ream and Spearing lying deep and centrally offered the back four. I don't see the point of Spearing at all. He doesn't get to players to close them down and doesn't show any hunger to get on the ball whatsoever - a prob...

Re: You take the high road...

what do you think the Welsh - if they were asked - would want in terms of further responsibility? The Assembly have laid out their views pretty clearly. If that's what you mean by the Welsh.

Re: You take the high road...

Indeed, the Welsh and Irish both said they want the same as whatever the Scots get , so the West Lothian question comes into sharper focus. they may mutter quietly that they do - but I'm not sure they actually do... what the welsh want is more money - I don't get the impression they want any more r...

Re: The athletics/running thread

Thanks. Not expecting much more than a mild jog for the whole race tbh. Running it with my daughter, who is quite quick, and hoping for a PB. I'm guaranteed a PB ;-) I did this 2 years ago. Look out for the hill between mile 10 and 11. It's a shocker. After that there is a half mile steep descent a...

Re: The athletics/running thread

Doing the Great North Run this weekend, first ever half marathon, to say I'm apprehensive would be rather understating it. Seemed like a good idea when I applied, seems like total madness now. Enjoy it! I would say - don't set off to fast - but it's so packed I reckon you'll be lucky to break into ...

Ah something that's (sort of) my field of expertise! I work more in harmful radiation, but have some knowledge of wider stuff. It's not just concrete that's an issue. Whilst thick layers of concrete will block out various radiation sources, it's more the support infrastructure that will cause an is...

Re: Watford Away 09/08/2014 - Match Thread

:D, not that it extends as far as being able to spell Feeney, like. And yes necessarily. 'Going forward' is not a sentence. Unless your not necessarily was aimed at 'Now I'm with it', in which case you may well be correct. It's been a sloooow morning. The 'joke' was that 'Going forward' was the 'su...
