Time to start thinking hard about JCH. He just doesn't score enough. Across his career he averages about 1.5 goals per 10 games, though to be fair many of those 10 games could be sub appearances. I have always quite liked the energy, speed and incisiveness he has shown in patches; last season...

My one minor quibble on this would be that the 12 days of Christmas begin on Christmas Day, they don't end with Christmas Day! But looking forward to the next instalment nonetheless!

Maybe I am just thick.

It doesn't mean it is, either. Don't get me wrong, I am not defending anyone... just saying I can't see much wrong with what has been said about him. I have moaned about him during England gamds in the past when he didn't play well or when he didn't appear to care about the cause. He has been a...

Knowing us as I do, i fully expect a dominant 3-0 win!

Thanks for a reasoned explanation unlike some of the half baked comments on here. I agree with this analysis although I would still say it falls far short of racism. The media had done the drip drip drip thing on his character but they've done the same with many others e.g. Heather Mills, Darren...

Good idea, I'll be having a go at this. Got this bloke (I think!).

Yea I am fairly sure I would have that to be a decent outcome thus far!!

Yeah we can leave it that there's no evidence

I don't see any real evidence that the papers are picking on Sterling because he is black. The gun tattoo thing was obviously wrong, and everyone who did so was right to call it out. He's not a victim as far as I can see.

Ehhh?? I'm not looking for evidence or playing devil's advocate...I genuinely don't know why Sterling has felt the media has played the race card against him, and wanted to get an idea of the sort of coverage he meant. The one about him being up until 3am seems reminiscent of similar stories...

Eh? Without wanting to sound thick or uninformed, why is it "treating him poorly" to say he was tired at 3am? I'm tired at the time of night when I am still up, which happens once a week....no shame in it. How's that racist?

Well as I say you normally sound like a pretty positive bloke!

I was intrigued by this Otis - I saw the two articles and the one about the black guy didn't seem racially-biased or perjorative. There have been a few comments about Sterling calling his treatment in the media "racist" but so far I haven't seen any examples cited, so that's going on? I did...

Nah mate I've heard lots of clubs' fans sing that in August/September. It's just a chant - it's not meant to be taken too literally. Or, if you do want to take it literally, it is usually sung when a goal goes in and thus a good result is in sight meaning we'd gain some points and thus go...

Ah but if you view the court as 'north', 'middle', ''south", then it's clearly the middle. Maybe the likes of you and Tommo understand something different to me when the term 'East Midlands' is used, but to me it's the government definition i.e. the old counties of Lincs, Notts, Derbys...

I was intrigued by this...it definitely is 100%, not just technically...in the same way that Leamington is technically/definitely in Warwickshire!!! Unless I've missed something?

Eh? We sing that at most games and so do loads of other clubs?!?

What can be done to address the lack of goals? JCH has been back with us nearly a year and in that time he's got 6 in the league. Chaplin hasn't flourished so far. With everything else going on, is there budget in January for Robins to buy a new striker? Lee Burge - I have never been the...

I was pleased by how many CCFC were at Newark getting the fast train down to Wembley for the Exeter game in May; there must be quite a number in the east Notts / west Lincoln area. Perhaps some kind of group in that area could attract members; although I suspect that people living so remotely...
