My point is that if the prize for winning the fa cup was a spot in the champions league it would greatly improve the quality and energy of the competition. Nobody believes that a team like Newport...

They should give the FA Cup winner a champions league spot and if necessary take away one spot from the premier league. After all, the cup winner is much more of a champion than the fourth or fifth...

Can you imagine being in that sort of state mentally and then having fans and journalists pick apart your every move each week? If anyone thinks it’s easy to be a professional sportsperson, they...

There will always be attempts to waste time or break up play no matter what the rules are. Taking the ball into the corner is one of the most obvious and I can't think of a way you could ever outlaw...

With the obvious time wasting that always seems to go on (and under Pulis we were one of the worst offenders) its sometimes tempting just to go to a start and stop timing system like they have in...

well yes that's true, but whenever you run into an omnipotent moral busybody, you come out of the situation thinking "What a w a n k e r" :)

But w a n k e r is just another name for omnipotent moral busybody. So I think we are still on the same page.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The...

Born in Gornal to Yorkshire parents. Moved to vancouver, Canada at age 14. Moved to calgary in 2000, hence the name, but last year moved to the Okanagan valley which is about half way between calgary...

So you think cheering for the wrong team in the wrong end is an excuse for people to act like a bunch of animals? Yes what the wolves fans did was provocative, yes it was stupid, no I wouldn’t be...

We all know in sports that the reaction to a foul always seems to get punished more than the foul itself. The Wolves fans certainly provoked the West Brom fans in the Halfords/ Birmingham Road...

I’m doing well. I had a bit of a cancer scare before Christmas which they operated on but it turned out to be a benign tumour and now I am feeling better than I have for years. I have also moved...

Being in Canada I am only able to attend the occasional game every few years so I haven't heard any Mikey Johnston songs but has anyone thought to adapt some of the old Willie Johnston songs for...

The thing about funerals is that there are two purposes: 1) to honour the deceased; and 2) to give the survivors some closure/catharsis etc. When you think about it, the deceased is gone and either...

I got an email the other day. It said: Knock Knock. When i responded: Who's there? the answer was: A Jehovah's witness working from home.

I grew up in Gornal Wood so as a child the Crooked House was only a short bicycle ride away. I was saddened to hear of its destruction. However, it was located at the end of a windy, narrow road...

Oh i was thinking of his career whole rather than his time with West Brom

Tail end of Osborne but pretty much contemporaneous with Godden

Autism used to be seen as something that caused kids to be non communicative and to sit in the corner rocking backwards and forwards staring at their fingers. It was also assumed that an autistic...

Anti-vaxxers - the flat-earthers of the medical community!

The thing about any medical treatments is that a statistical analysis has to be done to determine things like the number needed to treat and the number needed to harm. For example, if the number...

Sorry Albionic, just read your last post and I do agree with you. Just got my feathers ruffled a little.

My wife is a doctor and she is getting really fed up with people blaming covid shots for every ailment they have had since getting the shot. Most do not make any sense at all, like the person who...

The first time i saw Paul Bradshaw was in the promotion season of 1975-76 when he played for Blackburn. Blackburn went 2-0 up within the first 10 minutes but then we pulled ourselves together and...

I’m just grateful those stupid horns from the South Africa World Cup never caught on. Now a whole stadium full of those is extremely annoying. .
