Christ - that was proper crap wasn’t it.

I suspect that tiredness played its part. Three games in 6 days, Rotherham 3 in 7 days. This match came on the back of two away games, with little time to recover after the long trip to Swansea. Rotherham came here after two home games.

Big game today… could be a huge moment in the season

Going today. Seeing your icon reminded me that I was at Mariner's debut at Old Trafford. Hoping for a similar result.

This made me laugh.

Blackburn fan on negotiations to sell Gallagher to Ipswich.

It was Russia that played the principal part in the defeat of Napoleon and Hitler. Britain never a land power.

Is there some sort of coordinated rogue state aggression going on?

I wouldn't be hung up on terminology, which perhaps suggests a kind of cyclical view of history. Until September 1939 what we now call the 1st World War was always called the Great War. Both "World Wars" were centred in Europe, which the current conflicts most certainly are not.

What we are seeing seems to me to be the terminal decline of European dominance of the world, and serious challenges to post war US hegemony. Amazing to think that not much more than 30 years ago Fukuyama was lauded for announcing "the end of history."

Excellent and moving post from ITFC remembering lost blues (Phil request)

Many thanks. He must have moved from Eindhoven to Manchester which is where I first met him.

Someone I know volunteered at Portman Road where he came across him in the late sixties early seventies.

I think the more you study a subject the less likely you are to come out with the kind of statements you make, and the more likely to be aware of your own limitations. I think Bukowski had something relevant to say about it.

I seem to remember that he was in PR/Advertising.

His account with Dick Ransby of the 1967-1968 promotion is still available.

So did he die in 2017, and if so why was he on last year's list?

Anyway he was a remarkable supporter.

As someone who once did a phD in US politics i find it amusing to hear you lecture other posters and indeed US Democrats about the US political system.

The only one I knew personally, and that was sometime ago, was David Huxley. When I looked him up on google it brought up a TWTD article announcing his death in 2017.

Anyway he was a most passionate supporter, who I think worked at Portman Road in the 1960's. He must have done thousands of miles supporting Town after he moved from Suffolk. I first met him when he was living in Manchester. He then moved to Birmingham. He introduced me to Bobby Robson at one match I attended with him.

Weekend Break - Liverpool or Manchester?
at 10:33 13 Jan 2024

Salford Quays, the Lowry centre and the nearby Imperial War Museum is well worth visiting. One recent visitor from Suffolk told me he wouldn't visit the Lowry exhibition because all Lowry's paintings were the same. He couldn't be more wrong. The 20 minute video about Lowry is unmissable in my not so humble opinion.

The RHS gardens at Bridgewater, a newish development, are also well worth a visit.

My favourite place, closed unfortunately at weekends, is Chethams Library where you can sit at the table where Marx and Engels once sat and see a list of the books they read. The John Rylands Library is also an amazing place, as is the Royal Exchange.

I would be more impressed if she returned the £400,000 payoff she got from the Post Office.

i read that Mowbray had become frustrated with the rigidity of Sunderland's model. He wanted to recruit some older players.

The kind of player that Sunderland seem to buy, with a view to potential sale later.

A valid point in there
at 10:02 30 Dec 2023

McKenna made the point I think after the Leicester game that there is relatively little time for training over the Christmas period when so many games are being played, and that this can be a problem for those who are not getting match time.
