Sorry if this is in link above (I didn't read it as I find the CT site unreadble) is there any suggestion that she was recognised as the wife of an ex-footballer and thus specifically targeted as someone who may have money?

One of the great things I always look forward to in any new season is finding out which of the new players will be key members of the squad, and which will turn out to be duds. Then seeing new songs/chants develop for the ones who do emerge as gems. No predictions from me on this but I hope at...

Fuck sake, what a shower. It should be said in Sisu's defence, during their tenure no staff wages have ever been missed or paid late. The bloke who owns Bolton (Anderson?) has a lot to answer for; he's ultimately the custodian who has taken on the responsibility of the club, even if other...

Any idea why they are suddenly lacking a ground safety certificate? How has that become a factor?

To be fair, nobody wants clubs to go out of business - fans want the EFL to "show some teeth" to get clubs to play ball and do what they should do i.e. fulfil their fixtures, play in their home towns, and so on. In order to do so, a plausible threat has to be made in order to force compliance -...

In the book, Rick keeps bumping into Strange, in fact IIRC at one point he describes JS at an an away game as 'leading a party from the London Supporters Club' ...which makes him sound like a tour operator rep. In fact, JS was a prominent member of CCLSC for many years and then chairman of that...

One of the great things about anticipating a new season is wondering which of the new signings will turn out to be crowd favourites and inevitably offloaded to keep the club afloat (cue fans citing their name in future over optimistic transfer speculation) and which will turn out to be duds.

Ehh??

Genuine question - given that their big issue seems to be lack of money, how is it helping them to NOT be putting tickets on sale??? Very sad to see a club in this amount of strife. Whilst I have no particular affinity for them, they were the oppo in the very first game of football I ever saw...

Has he now officially retired? If so then I guess there'll be no mentions of him as a potential signing. Shame. Agreed. That incident reminded me of the sale of Juke when we needed his goals to have a chance of surviving relation in 2011-12. As John O'Farrell wrote about Japan declaring war on...

See above - for it to be witty, it's got to be accurate!! Doesn't work otherwise!

Why is it 'bust' if we don't get in the play-offs? What if we get to the playoffs but don't end up going up?

Bizarre statement from Appleton today, accusing the players' statement yesterday of being "littered with factual inaccuracies" and that they're not in real hardship / should think themselves lucky, "they have no appreciation of what's going on" etc. Strange thing to see from a court-appointed...

Can't believe we've mugged off a higher league club with Chaplin, and for a fee it seems. Nice work MR / Dave Boddy / Tim... Now time to tiptoe away very slowly whilst the ink dries and the money is confirmed in our account, before they realise they've been had

You'd achieve the same deterrent effect by disciplining such players e.g. fine them, make them play for a week with the lower age groups, etc - rather than straight binning them off. Otherwise, the risk is that we get rid of a player we'd otherwise keep and another club goes on to benefit from...

Stalker!!

Bargain.

I honestly don't know. I was talking more "in principle" rather than his specific case i.e. if we'd otherwise want to keep hold him, don't kick him out for the sake of his social media faux pas.

But in football, good talents are precious. A decent player is not as easily replaceable as someone in a normal job. We only stand to benefit from his performances if he improves his attitude thanks to some disciplinary measures. No point cutting our noses off just to be hard headed.

I must admit, I cried like a baby when we won...and then cried like a baby watching the highlights this lunchtime. I've been following England as a passionate fan for over 20 years and this was the most joyous moment I can remember.
