    It sounds obvious but what's it for? What kind of articles? More to the point, what has prompted it?

    Shit happens....literally

    And so the fag end of this failed Tory project continues. Today's news is about the state of Britain's sewerage system. The BBC reports: "Sewage spills into England's rivers and seas by water companies more than doubled last year. According to the Environment Agency there were 3.6 million hours...

    Progress Chart - Game 38 Northampton

    As requested, I will update this season's progress chart after each game of the run-in, providing that we are still in with a chance of the play-offs. Here is the chart after completion of the matches in round 38. Up the 'Pool!

    Hold Our Nerve

    Yes, a horrible phrase from a horrible man. However, very apt. We need to beat Wigan. We could do with not losing to Derby. The rest I will leave in the lap of the gods.

    "Going To The Match"

    Apologies if already posted but LS Lowry's painting, "Going To The Match", is on display at the Grundy until the end of March. Me and wife went to see it yesterday. It's a fine painting.

    Let's Pretend to be Labour

    So, there we have it. No Tory policies so let's steal Labour ones. But, but we want hard line Tory policies...say the backbenchers...we want Thatcher! No, no, no say Rish! and Hunt. We're going to get stuffed by Labour so let's pretend we're them. Bring on the election, I say.

    But for AVFTT.....

    Progress Chart - February 24

    No longer in 8th place whilst also starting to fall away from our progress in 2020/21. It's going to take a lot to put this right. Up the Pool!

    A bad day for Parliament

    Yes, it's all over the news and in the papers but behind every photo of MPs raging at the machine was a grubby little piece of local politics. Sufficiently grubby to sit embarrassingly alongside those former MPs (one still sitting), for whom grubbiness knows no bounds. Again, I turn to the...

    Well that's me done....

    ....with away matches this year. I've done about 70 'live' grounds now. However since retiring I can only afford to do grounds I've not yet done. In other words...ticks. this season me wife and dog have really gone for it, taking cottages for a few nights or a week whilst I tick off a ground...

    Cheltenham Visit

    Down for the match but I'm currently in John Gordon's whisky and cigar shop. Just had a Springbank 'Hazelbank' single malt. It's a Cambletown malt and very difficult to get hold of. Superb at £7.00 for a wet glass.

    Think Something Positive

    There are multiple 'Critchey out!' threads on here at the moment. Of course, moaning is easy. But just suppose, for a moment, that all of this febrile hostility is falling on deaf Sadler ears. What then? So, there's the challenge. Post suggestions for improving the situation, given that...

    Progress Chart - January '24

    A win against Charlton would have made a big difference. Even so, we're still in the chasing group and we usually have a good finish. Up the Pool!

    We've trimmed the squad...

    ...which was our intention. Critchley's words or from higher up?

    Intolerance

    I have just read a recent thread on this forum that has been closed for further comment. I don't need to name it or, indeed, to restate the points made. I just find it really depressing that so many of the posts had to be withdrawn because of comments that could possibly be viewed as, (or were...

    Kigali

    A high 5 to anyone who can identify the location of the country called Kigali. Clue: the former Deputy-Prime Minister, Therese Coffey can't.

    Joseph my MotM

    I've thought of him as workmanlike up until now. Magnificent tonight. Pressing, passing, tackling. An excellent performance.
