From the the man who can't distinguish a noun from a gerund ? :lol::lol:

You think dying in a plane crash is romantic ?

Bobby Robson ? But was he knighted for the work he did at Ipswich ? Who's the other one ?

Exactly. For fun some might call it the Knights' stadium especially to wind up Scousers, after all, how many other clubs have got one knighted manager let alone two ?

I once read an article that suggested we change the name of the ground to : THE SIR MATT BUSBY and SIR ALEX FERGUSON...

Trump's petro-pals would probably be quite happy talk of escalation if not with a war. How's Brent doing at the mo 75 $ ?

I think no club in the country had such dominance as to talk about that kind of stuff. Liverpool 70s/80s and United's 90s/20s overwhelming dominance has not been the norm. Between 1946-1970 I think 11 different clubs won the league including Burnley (2) Portsmouth (2) Wolves (2) Spurs (2)...

In general it's better to boast about things after you've done them, not before. A fantastic season for City but not the quadruple that Kompany boasted about, not even a treble. It's true that we no longer occupy "the perch" but for the moment nobody does. I agree that they look set to dominate...

In general I agree but I'm thinking of those games where we create next to nothing or one like the Leicester away game where we threw away a 2 goal lead (if I remember correctly) the second coming when they had ten men. The PL has got more difficult too, with City looking set to dominate and...

I agree. I think Steven Pinker points to some flawed experiments in one his books, the experiment about the salivating dogs for example, led to over 50% of the dogs dying. Also if most of your info comes from the general and not specialist publications, as mine does, the reports are often...

You can't usually win the PL playing as badly as we have so often. Sure we've got the points but those points could easily be dropped next season. I don't feel at all confident about a better finish or even the same position, next season. I excused last season's dour games thinking that it would...

A vital question is whether the Tories can deliver what they think is best for the country and, more importantly, hold on to power.

Les Miserables got panned initially.
