    Transfer Rumour Former player in talks with us! - Courtney Baker Richardson

    I will pay cash to anyone who can categorically confirm this is not one of Conor Thomas, Steve Jennings or Roy o'Donovan. I'd take Moussa.

    Astute probably thinks Hartlepool isn't in the north became it is on the coast, or something....i can't even mock this effectively as i find his view so baffling. I hadn't realised it was possible now for all logic to be surgically removed from someone's brain, but apparently it is...

    Yes there is a place called the Midlands and Lincs is part of it. And yes that includes Skegmess. I told my Lincolite girlfriend about your comments on this and she did a facepalm in frustration. Don't ask me to accept your view when you reported this week that you have in the past been to away...

    The Mt Office are not the government; they're a government agency which is independly run. So no, I do not consider their definitions worthwhile. The fact is, there is the East Midlands consisting of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire and the West Midlands...

    Correct - the only exception is East Anglia which isn't obviously midlands, north or south.

    It would be a nice idea to have a "Coventry City Northern Supporters Club". With the London Supporters Club, now 40 years old and still with an active membership of 80+, the concept works well. Many of the members live all over the south east including Upminster, Hornchurch, Tonbridge...

    Butlins at Minehead.....? Have always wanted to go to Ilfracombe but it's about 2 hours further west despite being in the next county so not exactly on the doorstep.

    Indeed but the "north/midlands" divide isn't a straight line along a particular latitude - it follows the combined southern borders of the Southern-most Northern counties Cheshire (where it meets Wales near Whitchurch), Lancashire (including what is now Greater Manchester) and Yorkshire where...

    Depends what you define as "the North" - the generally accepted definition is the combined area covered by the counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Durham and Northumbria (plus all the cities within these like Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull etc). I've heard people say...

    Thomas isn't a winger and, as shmmeee says, Reid is likely to leave so I have assumed that in my statement.

    Were you at Orient away when we went there with Pressley? He was eye-wateringly bad that day at RB.

    I have liked that but the thought of Willis ever playing RB for us again regularly has me shaking, cold-sweating and screaming in terror in my sleep....I think Hyam is the RB and Willis the CB in the above.
