Do you have the faintest idea of how patronisingly you always come across on this board? You appear as a pompous self-appointed club policeman. Worse than that you appear to twist what other people say. I question the club when I feel it's justified - that's pretty much my entire point. So to...

Thou shalt not question the club. Apparently.

He's got massively overweight and lazy after a series of big money moves that have left him thinking he doesn't have to try any more.

These are great reading. I've read the first two and have the final part waiting on my bookshelf. A wonderful look at the Europe that was destroyed by the Second World War. But also just full of exhilaration and a relish for life.

As @boldseagull said - Church Going is an extraordinary poem and maybe the peak for Larkin in my view. But I've always been haunted by the phrase 'Once you have walked the length of your mind' from this one. Both beautiful and despairing. Continuing To Live by Philip Larkin Continuing to...

To be fair, the objection in this thread is not to women playing football (I can't imagine anyone thinks they shouldn't) it's about talking about it on the club twitter feed. (Personally I couldn't give a toss either way)

All about opinions of course, but I think some people are under-rating Propper's performance. Thought he was very good - there was that inch-perfect pass in the first half he swerved into March's path to put him away which was sublime. But he did lots of good defensive work too - he's going to...

No it wouldn't. But if you said Agent X was corrupt and broke the tax laws it would be. (unless you could prove it).

Broadly the definition of defamation (libel in writing, slander in speech) is saying anything about someone which is likely to 'lower them in the estimation of right-thinking people'. There are various defences against such a charge. One - it's provably true. Two - it's a fair opinion and not...

Johnny - Suicide

Currently, this one....

Well maybe, but I bet it would be sweary scrabble. And he'd call it a flan.

You mean Jamie Murphy? He's from Glasgow isn't he? Got to count for something.

Illywhacker by Peter Carey. Tremendous skillful writer but this one's dragging a bit, especially compared to his earlier Oscar and Lucinda which I found compelling. Particularly irritating is the way every single character, even minor ones, have to have their features, clothing and posture...

If they have to have a new manager at this point is Hodgson such a bad choice? His record at comparable-sized clubs like Fulham and WBA is very good. And he'll calm things down, get them playing 442 or 451 - a defensive set-up the players will be comfortable with. Granted he's not the...

It's good of him to make himself available and he's always been great at speaking to fans. But I confess I don't entirely get what he's about here. Does he WANT the critics to come out in force so he can shut them up by the force of reason? Or is he hoping no one mouthy will show so he can say...
