When we signed Yakubu I was incredulous and delighted but later I realised I'd muddled him up with Lukaku. Signing a striker with 4 goals in 3 years didn't save us from the drop strangely.

Understand he wanted to keep the miscarriage quiet but no need to claim the grannies had died. As the article says, the granny was bemused to read in the paper about her grandson taking compassionate leave due to her own death. The thing to do would have been explain to the club and FAI on the...

Must be a bit of a shit manager, haven't heard of either of those two for bloody years

How did they emerge from the documentary? More sympathetic than before? Bloke I work with knew Go West in their heyday, said they went to the US when they made it with a contract to do music for Rocky IV but annoyed Stallone to much with their arrogance that he made their music the soundtrack...

Ah Facebook, that reliable source of transfer bullshit. You know someone's career has gone down the toilet when you think they're older than they are or that they've retired altogether when they haven't. It's a bit like that crap sitcom e.g. Last of the Summer Wine where you think it finished...

If she did, then it never translated into 6k of drinks being served to the ticketholders.

out of interest, what will you do tomorrow if not celebrate Christmas?

Seemed like a decent bloke to me. A bit pompous in terms of how he came across, but you could see his heart was in a good place.

Pass on my best regards when you next see him. Used to go to QPR a fair bit when I was living in London, became a kind of "second team" although that was after he was there.

The MK angle is my own supposition only, not based on anything I have heard elsewhere. But that area is a big rugby area, as seen when they sold out both tiers of the MK stadium for a rugby world cup group game between two minnows (think it was Romania v Canada or something). Right colour seats...

Where did you hear this?

What was that attempted pass by Brown for the last chance shown. Half-arsed or what!

More like a strike farce

What including last season when we won our first promotion in over 40 years?

I agree with you 100%; in fact it's closer to 18 months. I wasn't supporting the idea of sacking him, simply using history to predict IF it might happen.

Reminds of the version of Blackadder set in the first world war. The general insists on full frontal Somme-style attack: "using the same tactic as we used in our last 17 attacks is exactly the LAST thing they'll expect this time!!" Blimey did they have Andy Thorn on the line instead of MR?

I think we can all see the end game now. Sisu will hold onto CCFC whilst Wasps' future at the Ricoh is uncertain. Without significant improvement, it seems Wasps may well end up selling the Ricoh back to Sisu/CCFC and then heading off back down the M40 to groundshare with MK Dons, which is much...

Tell me you didn't go to Sign of the Fish in the Cornhill area. Notorious for undercooked chips. I would be interested to see what the average "bad run leading to a managerial departure" for a Cov manager in the last 10 years is. I think Aidy won 2 in 20 before getting the chop, or something...

Come over any time. Too many great pubs!

You will hear a lot of people say "Oh but I feel fine after 1 or 2" or "it doesn't affect me, I'd be under the limit" - but firstly it is impossible to calculate the limit as it differs from person to person based on the thickness of red blood cells. So might be one pint for me, 1.5 for my mate...
