The club do need to look at themselves though. Marketing of the club is woeful and so is their football in the community scheme. The club should be getting in to all primary schools in the area and marketing the club to catch supporters at a young ag before they go off a support the likes of Manche...

Well I guess if we want to redefine words as we go then that's all fair !! The accusation that a referee is 'biased' has always been perjorative, I've never heard anyone use it to denote a mild and subconscious favouring of one side ! It's synonymous with 'bent'.... Can't quite see how Webb can have...

I would rather go back to the tried and tested 1-11 formula that worked well in the past. And while at it, bring back Henry and the Golden Goal tickets and a proper halfway line scoreboard. Sadly Henry is no longer in any state to sell tickets or park the away team bus ! Mind you I guess he never r...

It's very rare that players change their numbers apparantly.... Rare they change upwards etc etc... The fact these two want to change just reinforces the point that you were wrong that numbers (1-11 or otherwise) aren't important or of interest to players these days. I asked a question !! If 1-11 w...

papereyes ... but equally, the 'common usage' is still as flawed as suggested by PieEater ...

Only if HNA has morphed from a low level football discussion board into an academic linguistics website !!!

Agent Balti Jeez, peeps...let GO of the past! Who gives a flying one what ANY of our former players, or staff do. Threads like this one and the James Harper one on UR&G really are pointless shoe-gazing affairs. Relevance = Nil.

To be fair Balti you could level that charge at the entire output of HNA.

Tinrib Looks like Harps is going to be out for a while...broken metatarsel..

Indeed, if Ian Bell is anything to go by Harps will miss all the remaining tests but be fit again for the Ashes.

I wish him well.

Z175 its normally a disaster when you make a mistake on a forum. But I'm very glad I did - some very good buns above!

Glad you've found your roll !!

But next time use your loaf....

Terminal Boardom The Premier League was created to make the national side better. How did that work out then?

Really ?

I can't believe that !!!!!

On the question of salaries,quite a few must have been on a decent wedge to substantiate the figures dished out by the club at the start of last season. £5k a week means the club is forking out way in excess of £250k a year for a player. Possibly £500k !! Don't know about you but I'd see £1k a week...

Following Martinez and Sousa in the job, the Swansea supporters are more likely to be receptive to Rodgers`s methods than those at the Mad Stad. For his part Rodgers needs to cut out the crap and the mistakes. I,m sure they will create lots of chances, the challenge for Rodgers down there is to fin...

PieEater The points deduction is between 15 and 20 points, although I'm not sure how they decide exactly how many.

Hopefully they'll let the fans vote....

I'd suspect anyone prepared to tell any of us what a player is paid didn't actually know in the first place.

I suggest you look up the meaning of the word bias before you get utterly digusted again, clue, it does not mean dishonest. I think you are wrong.... In the context of discussion about a football referee common usage of the term 'biased' is that the referee shows an undue favouritism to one side. I...

We'll bottle it I'm sure.

It's very rare that players change their numbers apparantly....

Tails Dairy come up with a witty retort?

RIP Glo

Sorry, I'd gone off for a moment.

If he learns from his mistakes i think he will become a decent manager. He wasn't far off with what he was trying to do with us, but can he work out what he got wrong and correct it next time ? I hope so. Whether Swansea is the place to do that I'm not sure, could be a tough season for them this tim...

Z175 . I like the idea of racing through to a cool clotted finish. !

People will be creaming themselves....

Good job he made it a double.

No doubt he whipped up the fans into a frenzy.

The Madejski Stadium, home of London Irish, has topped a poll of rugby fans as the "best environment in which to watch rugby". The survey, conducted for Rugby World magazine, was completed by almost 1,500 rugby fans. The Madejski Stadium received nearly a quarter of all votes as the groun...
