Agreed. When it's our day, we're fine. Pretty good. Decent. Sometimes excellent.
We need to learn what to do when it isn't and how to make it our day when it's not going our way because when it doesn't go our way from the off, we're often pretty pathetic and massively lack ideas.
I've met Chris Webb a few times and the guy is very down to earth and decent.
For balance I've also always had good encounters with Paul Maynard who I don't think makes any secret of the fact he can't stand Benton.
In the GOOD OLD DAYS you could sell access to influence to a fake sheik sting and no one batted an eyelid. It's just all part of the rough and tumble of our great democracy.
It's only since Greta Thunberg, Chris Packham, Boy George, Diane Abbot and Nike came along with their woke values and...
My last girlfriend said I was the most pedantic man alive.
I said...
I think you'll find I'm actually the 4th most pedantic man alive...

I've worked out that of my 11,000 posts, 540 have contained the word 'Madine'
However, the search term 'Gaz' is not accepted by the search engine being too short. So therefore the true number is probably somewhat higher.
Weird wasn't it?! If it's the same people (and I can't imagine it would be anyone else) they looked more like they were going to Henley Regatta than football.
Fair play to them tbf.
It does doesn't it. I don't watch many games on telly but I watched Leeds Millwall. Leeds were everything we're not. Even when they went backwards it was obvious they were only doing so to reset the next attack. Unpredictable, inventive and energetic. Really enjoyed watching them.
I know we're...
I bumped into TAM at that game. He was cross because he'd decided to go out after the match and hadn't packed his loafers and smoking jacket.
Actual true story.
I'd like to see a greater parity but I agree that there's a problem. You give clubs more, players wages go up. Problem remains.
Ideally I'd like to see top clubs get less because that might deflate the wages - but then you diminish ability to compete globally.
I always come round to a tiered...
I'd definitely agree on grassroots. It's a national disgrace that we don't have an all weather community facility on every street corner and the popularity of football being leveraged to create a healthier and more socially engaged population.
It's a right shame if some professional clubs...
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about regulatory bodies but...
The current situation is absurd. The Premier League has effectively created the current situation whereby teams must 'gamble' because of its policy and impact of success breeding success and money breeding money.... (place...
Premier League isn't actually 'broken away' though. There's a mutual relationship between it and the pyramid akin to that of a supermarket and suppliers.
At least some of the status and value of the premier league derives from the fact it is at the tip of a pyramid. Without that, it would have...
