    Next seasons realistic aim

    I console myself with the thought that he probably really, REALLY wanted to go and would have sulked if we hadn't let him.

    Next seasons realistic aim

    I said this in the fanzine yesterday. When we went up under Karanka we got 89 points and that was just enough to squeak promotion, 85 in the season we lost to Norwich. It's a slightly lopsided season in that there are big winners and big losers, but we're currently 27 points behind Leeds -...

    Forget about Hackney, RVB, McGree

    It's the nature of the game, the players and this division really. You don't exactly have to start from square one every summer but it might as well be. The days of 10 year careers at the same club are long gone. The players don't help either, I mean we could all have probably guessed that Chuba...

    Aynsley Pears error against Sheffield Wednesday.

    Trouble is - and I thought Aynsley would have been our keeper for years - he's now costing them points on a regular basis. He let a fairly tame shot go under him against Ipswich on Good Friday that was the only goal of the game.

    Sunak’s press conference

    It has been pointed out that there are huge court backlogs, but suddenly Sunak can find judges and lawyers to spring into action to do Rwanda cases. Why don't they just **** off. I'm depressed every day by these *******.

    FA Cup replays scrapped.

    You know there's a very simple solution to this, but no-one wants to kill the goose that lays golden eggs. There's (in my opinion) just too many games to be squeezed into too short a time. Reduce the Premiership to 18 teams. Reduce the Championship, Division One, Division Two to 22 each. To...

    Jamie Vardy

    Always liked the one at the side of The Central; Juninho (I think) being marked by a pint.

    Football over Easter 1950

    The thing that always strikes me about the old North South divide in the third division is how many of the South teams became upwardly mobile once it went to Division 4, whereas a lot of the old North teams are still stuck pattering around the Second and Third divisions, and Conference and below...

    Botched tv series

    I thought this was a thread about Game of Thrones. Boy, they messed up that last series.

    Old Sheffield Wednesday players from the past

    Johnny Fantham. What a name.

    What needs to happen over the summer then?

    It's been a dispiriting season, and we'll have players who don't want to stick around for more of the same in front of declining crowds. Worst case scenario is that we lose four mainstays - Hackney, VDB, McGree and Forss. Maybe Fry and Jones too. The Forss one is disappointing if true of those...

    Colombo, Kojak, or?

    And if Trevor Eve hadn't decided after two series of it that he'd had enough, we would never have had 70 years of Bergerac.

    Cannon, of those "A QUINN-MARTIN PRODUCTION"s

    Top of the Pops dance off

    I had a thing for Sue out of Legs & Co, second right in the picture. Not a very good shot. Rosie (third left, though you can see her name) was 17 - 17! - when she started with Legs & Co. Can you imagine that these days? This makes me laugh. Warning NSFW!!!!

    The three-body problem (Netflix)

    Finished the whole thing. No spoilers, but I thought it had a very good start, started flagging, an episode where nothing at all seemed to happen, and a disappointing end. Shame really. There'll be a second series I'm sure. The book is on my "to read" pile, so I've no idea where the story...

    Dog Advice!

    My whippet used to do this. Hopefully "used". He's generally very good at coming back when he's off the lead, but every so often, he'd decide that he didn't want to come back. He'd be within 20-50 feet, but any time I moved toward him, he'd put some space between us. For some reason, it seemed...

    Gary Rowett being appointed as interim Birmingham head coach.

    Venus did say the other day that he'd been taking instructions from Mogga about the games, but said it was more a case that his drive and motivation skills were what they were missing. Does worry you though.
