Oh I agree, I dislike stripes massively - some of our best kits as you say, are stripeless.
But in terms of stripes, this lot are 'decent' :) |

Exactly this!
I like the nods to the past - they've picked good kits. |

No one actually sings "red and white army" though do they? For years it's just a noise that sounds like "revvo army" ... unless the Northam Wall has improved the quality of the enunciation? |

Agree with all this!
I think the club are probably asking too much for Dibling. Personally I would sell lower and agree a huge sell on fee, because then surely if he does amount to something amazing and I (and others) are wrong, then we'll still get a benefit?? I know it's. not that simple, but ...
yes, I'd rather we spent everything we could to keep Fernandes and get Robinson playing (I liked what I saw there). |

1. First record you bought with your own money?
- Honestly can't remember, early 1980s - I think it was the Superman song?
2. First gig you went to that you paid for?
- Prodigy in Brighton in 1993
3. Best gig ever?
- Bit random, but Moby at Knebworth. He was a supporting act, but the sun was setting behind the stage and it was just "right"
4. Have you ever left a gig because the artist/band was not up to it?
- Elbow at V Festival, I went home, boring
5. Present favourite band/song
- Don't really have one anymore, I just listen to whatever dance music comes on in the car
6. I would never go to see XXX because?
- No idea what XXX are? Is that my answer? "Because I don't know who they are?"
I'm not THAT into music. |

Agreed! Half full brigade.
Still is analytical and calculating. He's watching, judging, assessing. Of course he's not going to be hugging everyone and shouting OTT messages to "Rhino" and "Tay Tay" ...
I'm excited for this season, genuinely. If it's rubbish, then we go again, but I feel things are heading in the right direction this time. |

Absolutely awful this year. !975, shit. Charlie XCVIIIMCX (or whatever), dreadful talentless trollop. Neil Young, fk me, who wants to see a 79 year play that tripe?
I did however enjoy Pulp.
Sorry, it's awful this year. |

"In 1900 what is now Israel was 95 per cent Arab" >> We are forced in this country to be multicultural. Yet these regions want "their land" - it's all so ridiculous and backwards.
Watch any US show and they'll proudly go on about being Italian, Jewish, Irish, even Dutch. Throw in the Latinos and Hispanics and it's a proper blend of backgrounds. Same with major cities in the UK. Except rather than Italian, Jewish etc., it's various African and middle Eastern nations.
Yet all these middle eastern nations seem to be behind the times. You're muslim, but are you the RIGHT type of muslim? You're jewish, oh we'll just kill you all, we want OUR homeland for OUR people, etc.
I'm sorry, but until all of these middle eastern areas embrace the fact that OTHER CULTURES exist, there will always be problems.
And for the record, I hope the current Iran regime gets obliterated as I've read a few things recently, culimating in the fact that the younger generation there DO actually want their countries to be more like the 'west' and more embracing. |

My neighbours have just gone to the IOW festival and they're in their early 60s. I think that says it all.
I think I'm in that zone (late 40s) of having ZERO interest in going, to any of them. I'll join the pensioners going when I retire (which will probably be 80). |

Also don't forget even if a few thousand people turn up, you would have to ASSUME that a percentage of those are only there for the women (in whatever way you want to read that) and / or wouldn't have ever gone to a men's football match before.
So again, you can assume there will be additional merchandise sales, additional food/drink sales etc. It all adds up. Plus there are still TV rights.
It's not huge business, but some _additional_ income I would assume. |

Exactly!!
I'm not interested in the 'big clubs', but when I see a headline that says something like "x has signed for Arsenal from Chelsea", I'll click on it, then see it's women's football and close the browser.
I constantly feel I'm being tricked by the BBC into clicking on women's football articles? So they can then justify so much tax payer's money being spent on coverage for something the VAST majority of football fans have no interest in watching. Hey, look how clicks we had? Yeah, most of them stayed on the page for 4 seconds. FFS.
And stop with the ways tables are displayed, I want to see Prem and then the following 3 English divisions, not prem, women, scotland prem, championship. Fk off, keep the same groups together, in order, ARGH!
I have nothing against Women's football, but I'm not personally interested. But the mixing it in is silly - keep the score and stories apart, make it distinct.
Right rant over ... |
