Re: Hector gets a new contract offer

Most People I know were in shock we got £300 grand for him. Cos most of our fans don’t know much about football Also tbf his performances here were generally pretty average. One might put that down to the distinctly underwhelming coaching he was receiving at the time, which will have been holding h...

Re: VAR could be scrapped.

If they do keep it the offside decision making has to be looked at imo. Being offside by a toenail is ridiculous,there has to be some distance between the attacking and defensive player,what ever happened to giving the offensive player the advantage when level. Offside should be automated. You're e...

Re: Max Sanders

The suggestion has been made by RW that he can’t cope with our style of play re pressing. Whether he will be able to next season, who knows. At his young age, he should be able to get very fit by the start of next season. He played plenty of games for Lincoln City in this very same Division 1 league

Re: Theo

I have a feeling he will be ok after this surgery. Modern knee surgery has improved so much. It will depend on if he has sustained much damage to other parts of his knee, such as the knee cartilage, being torn etc. Alan Shearer has ACL surgery in around 1993 when he was at Southampton and he went on...

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

What are your thoughts on Jon Pertwee? He was IMO one of the best Dr Who's, great actor who played many tv and radio roles. Then we are agreed. I thought his playing of Wurzel Gummidge was a total one off success. Nobody else could have delivered those lines like him. As a kid, I well remember list...

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

The casting of Dr Who is important, but so is the writing. The Eccleston/Tennant/Smith era was fantastic. It managed to hit that television sweet spot, in that parents and kids could watch it together and each get something from it, while also offering something for the geeks. Each episode was well...

Re: BBC Doctor Who branded 'woke' and 'unwatchable' as TV ratings plummet following return to screens.

I couldn’t get into the Capaldi iteration, despite liking Peter Capaldi. David Tennant gets all the plaudits of modern Doctor Who, but for me, Matt Smith was superb, that was a proper star making performance from him. He’s also fantastic in House of the Dragon Dr Who started out in the 60s as a sci...
