So. Why do you support your club? Long term genetic roots - I.E. Your Father, Grand father did? Your local team? I know someone who is from Liverpool but changed allegience to Blackburn Rovers when they won the title. Can't go back to supporting Liverpool, won't support Rovers because of where...

Work on Monday shall be fun. It seems to be a veritable cornucopia of opportunities to wind up the Liverpool contingent at the moment. It all stemmed from my work colleagues predicting a 5-0 Liverpool win at Turf Moor back in August. I have feasted on a steady flow of tantrums, tears and...

This! Back in the day people used to go out to work, learned their trade, become bloody good at it and learned from experience. Nowadays, if you haven't sat a module or a course and got a shiny certificate to say you studied a subject you can't get a job. I've seen people lose jobs because...

Temperament, potential, development likelihood, mental attitude, physical attributes, reading of the game, skill. You can coach some of it but mostly it's natural and an inner desire to be the best they can be. I used to coach and a fundamental reason why players from Brazil for example do so...

When you say homegrown. Do you include Irish players?

Indeed, this years RBS may be more open. Who'd have thought the Scottish would beat Ireland? France looked more resolute this year. Not as flowing and attractive but definitely a tougher team to break down. No quarter given. It's going to be an interesting tournament.

It was an unusually below par performance. Hard to watch but won ugly.

Story of our season away.

Hendrick :ffs: Cheers for getting sent off so early! Gave us a mountain to climb before the game had even got going! Niang arguably should have also been red carded before they even scored. But that's picking peanuts out of poop. No arguments over Hendrick's red. At least we played well in...

First off. It needs totally revamping. Here is the list of the FA Board. Dame Heather Rabbatts DBE, Roger Devlin, Jim Rodwell, Jez Moxey, Peter McCormick OBE, David Gill, Jack Pearce, Mervyn Leggett, Robert Cotter, Barry Bright, Martin Glenn and Greg Clarke. Then you have the FA Council whose...

Arsenal were awful at the start but fair play, Watford went for it. Dyche has a soft spot for Watford but I'm sure he'll gee our lot up for it. 1-1 won't be a bad result all things considered. It'll be interesting to see if Brady starts and if so maybe go 4-5-1 with Barton, Hendrick...

Awaiting Saltire to post, but hasn't as of yet so... Despite our poor away form, I fancy us to get something from today's game. It's got to happen sooner or later. We'll take heart from recent away performances, if not the results. Don't think it'll be a game for the purists mind!

I guess common sense would need to be used. I mean an accidental challenge or a minor offence should be overlooked. However a 'taking one for the team' challenge on the half way line when the opposition look to break, would be a good example of a sin bin offence. I also like the stop watch in...

:fl: DIfferent missus back then mate. Obviously that relationship didn't last long when I preferred the dog's company to her's :lol:

Depends on how the owner wants it pronounced I guess. I pronounce it Smiths as in the 'i' in fish. That said you do have pretentious owners who manage to turn a name into something more exotic by pronouncing it with a French accentuation. I was watching room 101 recently and they were...

Same here. Also goes for Christmas. We're of the thinking that why do we need a special day to show someone we love them when we can do it any time of year?!

Was browsing Amazon last night. The missus won a £50 gift voucher for being employee of the month yesterday. I didn't know they had a grocery section. Anyway. I used to live in the sticks in Buckinghamshire and had a Pheasant farm at the back of our house. Duck eggs, quail eggs, Pheasant for a...

Yes footballers could learn a lot. Taken from Reuters. "Rugby is looked at as more of a family thing," said James Hutchinson watching one of Ireland's games at Laverys, the south Belfast bar that has long welcomed both communities and has been packed throughout their World Cup games. Unlike...

I started off as the guy one desk behind but as the day went on my 'Inner Panda' surfaced...
