I've amended my original post but I'll reiterate, players like Knibbs, Wing and Smith are now the older experienced heads and they've really led by example.

Pure speculation on my part but, given Hutchinson's post match interview at Shrewsbury, I wonder if he was chirping in the background.

I seem to remember from video clips of the incident, Selles was saying "Have a go at me but cut the players some slack". The early part of the season was always going to be a struggle with such an inexperienced squad and the upshot of a lot of that flack is that the more experienced player...

Argument, in the sense of: Noun - a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory. Ambiguity, the curse of the internet ! It still seems reasonable to suggest that a decision put forward as being bad might not actually have been bad over the longer term. The appointment of ...

Silver Fox Looked it up and he was 50/1, so swerved it of course!!

"God, I'm the lucky one
Came in 40-1".

Why would you want to start an argument ? Seems fairly uncontroversial to suggest that particular example might have been ok when looked at over the season. Argument, in the sense of: Noun - a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory. Ambiguity, the curse of the intern...

But why wouldn't you just go to Stockport or Tranmere? This is something that's close to my heart. It must be so, so tempting just to follow the "big boys" in urban areas like Greater Manchester. I have a lot of time for folk who actually choose to forego the United's, City's and follow t...

But why wouldn't you just go to Stockport or Tranmere? Not Welsh teams. Wrexham has a large catchment area. Wrexham itself is a small town though, and there isn't that large a population who don't have loyalties to bigger clubs. Wrexham's highest average ever is 11600, and their crowds do seem to d...

I think enough of the youngsters have proven this season that they can cope with this division so I really think any transfer activity should focus on any weaknesses in the starting XI. Assuming whoever we want to keep of the OOC players re,-signs, I don't think we need more than 4 new signings. Lef...

With Cheltenham and Burton still to play each other, Port Vale's total is the one to look at.

There were a few comments about how we look a decent team and a few on Bindon's clearance where his commitment and awareness impressed some but generally they're just pissed off about how they are sleepwalking and how clueless Matt Taylor is. General consensus was that we won comfortably but they we...

For clubs like Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock maybe but I also think the cost of policing a visit from the Auld Firm isn't worth the extra 1000 people you'll get in your 5000 capacity stadium because their travelling support are absolute dicks. Outside the big cities, most places don't have t...

2 divisions of 20 would absolutely not work in Scotland. When you consider that the SPL is already a 3 tier league, padding that out with another 10 clubs, some of which would be part time would only add fuel to the Auld Firm wanting to leave. It wouldn't work. The SPL is actually an interesting Lea...

Winston Biscuit Only been watching bits but Rangers look awful

That's because they are awful. There's so little genuine quality in their squad. Celtic aren't any better but at least don't tend to lose crucial games.

Former Juve midfielder Nicolo Napoli has left his management job at Romanian club FC U Craiova. The weird thing about it is that it was the 10th time he has been appointed as their manager in the past 20 seasons He is being replaced by Eugen Trică, who is taking the management job there for the 5th...

I don't know whether it was more civil back then or people are just more prepared to call shit out now. That Spacey "gaylord" comment being a case in point. I think if someone posted that now, plenty would tell him to fcuk off with the homophobia. I also remember SROT being an obnoxious bu...

Weren't we linked to Stopilla Sunzu from the 2012 team?

It was definitely in the Elm Park days.

I think a lot of the interest around him was down to the fact that it was only an injury that prevented him being on the Zambian team plane that crashed, killing everyone on board.

They were tipped to win the 1994 ACON.

Yeah, but it sets you up to fail given that most seasons, no one achieves it. I'm all for setting targets but not stupid ones that are largely unachievable. To the outsider, it makes you look like an idiot. 70 sounds good but when you target 100 you needed to score 40% more goals. Anyway, my general...

Didn't Adkins make a rod for his own back by making ridiculous claims like we were going to score 100 goals that season? I certainly remember when Selles was appointed that the general consensus was that he was a joke appointment. There were very few people even saying give the bloke a chance. Defin...

Something ominous about City swatting aside a very good Villa team last night. And this is now Foden's best goalscoring season by some distance, he has 21 in all competitions. On the wider Premier League, it's encouraging that, even in Kane's absence, six of the top ten goalscorers - Solanke, Bowen...
