Add It Up - Violent Femmes

I can't deny where he has taken you. But the road to relegation is littered with clubs who thought they could do better than what they had at the time. Just ask Wolves. Progress is often achieved by clubs who remain either stable in approach (Swansea) or in management (Everton). It is...

That would be the way to get certain clubs to take it seriously. Raise the stakes and you will raise the importance clubs attach to the Cup. It is probably time for the FA to have a discussion about the logic of granting a Champions League slot to the 4th place finisher of the Premier League...

Best of luck to you. I have a feeling the reply you receive may not be as friendly. But I hope I'm wrong and the response you get back is a lasting one this time.

It wasn't that long ago Oldham sent Manchester City out of the cup. City were bundled up as if they were in Antarctica and wanting to be anywhere else but Boundary Park. If the weather is just right up there, then Oldham can catch a club thinking more about the climate than they are about the...

Sounds like you've done everything you can do outside of contacting the authorities. Given that, it may be time to let them know about it. It is one matter to be a casual user, but quite another to be a grower and/or dealer of the product. The intensity of what you are describing seems to...

One thing Moyes has done well in particular is finding talent in the lower leagues of England or in Scotland when other prem clubs have went largely international in pursuit of players. Whether it is Lescott, Jagielka, or recently Jelavic, he's consistently found players who improve his club...

Tough one to digest if I were a fan of Cardiff City. I could see this one resulting in the formation of a fan-owned club. This will be the last straw for a solid portion of their fans.

I compare him to other older forwards who did the business in the Championship, particularly Teddy Sheringham and Dean Windass. He isn't close to their standard. Thing about those two is that they changed the way they played as they aged. As the athleticism slowly departed, experience and...

Given that wealthy Rangers supporters/owners were the cause of the financial mess the club now find themselves in, an outsider with an interest in sport and a gift for business may well be what they need at Ibrox. I don't know enough about Miller to sit there and make an informed judgment on...

Matt Le Tissier would have to be in that discussion somewhere. Many of his goals were works of art for Southampton.

Checked out the Historical Football Kits website. Looks good in that respect, but you'll have to do a search, or get help from another poster, to see the artist's rendition of the kit (I don't have enough posts to access the link function.). The line "Please note this item is a copy product"...

It is based on potential. 18k in season tickets is impressive. I think the key for the future will be for Albion to determine how far we can take the momentum AMEX has given us. I don't think BHAFC will ever be the big club in terms of trophies or jaw-dropping transfer fees. But the future...

I wasn't born into football much less Albion. Growing up in the U.S. (West Virginia and Georgia) in the 1970s and 80s, there was a xenophobia about sport. You played gridiron, basketball, or baseball. Anything else wasn't worth watching or playing. Wasn't able to see beyond that until the...

There is always something in a match for a high-effort player like Mackail-Smith. He's like Craig Bellamy, only without the headcase aspect Bellamy brings to any club he joins.
