Trevor Hockey's Beard

I'm too old to understand - or even believe in all this Crypto malarkey. I'm not even keen on paper money - when we moved away from gold and silver coins which had their real face value it all started to go wrong... although some say that it went wrong once we started using stones with holes in rather than just bartering.

With all of these specialist coaches we're going to need more Coaches to get to the away games.

If only Cambridgeshire Canary was as self-editing........... then we'd have fewer threads to read.

Is that something you've wanted Hoggy? Does it tick another one off your Bucket List? Did Archant get their item about Michael Foulger from reading this thread? If so, I've more gossip about MF if they're interested.

Maybe he's hoping for a move to Portaloo Road.

He's a reasonable stand in for Freddie though. Much as I love Paul Rodgers his voice was so wrong for Queen.

He's said to be a bit saucy.

No, he can sell his shares and buy a season ticket like everyone else. For the Americans the sums involved are chicken feed, but ironically it may be the price of chicken feed which has caused this opportunity to arise in the first place.

Well we did have two people throw their season tickets at the dugout, which is pretty much the same thing.😁

Operation Save Big Purple Dog.

When Banham Poultry went toes up Michael Foulger kept the farms, some for himself and some in trust for the family. I have heard a rumour that Michael's farms have gone bust - which might be possible given the current cost of feed - so his shares could be available.

I have some belief in Delia and MWJ trying to do their best for the club, while at the same time taking their position into consideration. I doubt that they will agree to something which might harm the club - unlike the situation at Burnley. At least we've already had our relegation before they invest.

That is a serious number of people from one business. Let's just hope they know nothing about Football and believed it when they were told it was a close game and we were unlucky to lose.

The new kit needs to be plain yellow, with big green letters reading: " Sorry for last season."

And a good job too. That equipment needs a serious upgrade - the last time I saw them in action Brains was using a slide rule and log tables.

Yes, by playing FIFA 12

Yes indeed. Let's just get back to the Prem and not worry about how we do once we get there. There has to be more of a plan this time, even if it takes a while to build a team who can hols their own in the Prem. No one under 6 ft or lightweight.

Try a google search for "Tractors". It's not called "Farmer's ****" for nothing.

If it's fight you want you should have gone to see an Ice Hockey match instead. There's not much fight to be found in a discarded condom.

Villa to be our new Bournemouth? A reference for the older members of this board.

Badger, your last paragraph is exactly the dilemma I was explaining to my wife last night. There is a difference between the players you need to get promoted and those you need to stay up. We know that we didn't recruit the players required last summer, but do we know that we didn't try? I fear that each passing year will see it become increasingly difficult for promoted clubs to attract the right kind of players, unless they are a "big" club who are in the Championship for a little visit. Webber cannot highlight the difficulties in attracting players as it will not help us in future years. The "Purgatory" is the struggle to attract good players ,as they can get better contracts from mid-table clubs with less risk of being in a relegation battle. I've said it before, but our situation reminds me of Super Mario Carts, where the winner gets the better engine for the next race. Another analogy might be a Squash ladder. In both cases a small difference in skill produces a big difference in performance and results.

So, literally no Derby games for us next season.

While I agree up to a point, there still didn't look to be much of a midfield last Sunday - Burnley made some long runs from deep in their half without coming close to a City player ( and without a City player coming close to them). While that may have been the plan it increases the risk of giving away a freekick close to our box, rather than near the halfway line. Anyway OTBC

As a general rule as someone speaking becomes more excited the pitch of their voice rises, and by varying the pitch of their voices commentators can help convey what is happening on the pitch, especially on the radio. Most female voices are pitched higher than male voices, so they have a reduced range that they can employ, and by starting off at a higher pitch it can convey a level of excitement or good play which is not replicated on the field of play. This heightened level of excitement can also be tiring to listen to, so for these reasons I have some amount of sympathy for the OP. I remember a midweek game away at Arsenal which was commentated by a woman on Radio 5 live. It was a hard listen, and the general tone of her commentary made it seem that she was an Arsenal supporter.

Which is a shame for all those who voted for Brexit, as the benefits of Leaving will not be felt until 2067 apparently - those that are still alive by then of course.
