    Yates warming the bench...Again

    I see it has taken Swansea`s new manager even less time than the previous one to assess Yates and relegate him to the bench just as Critchley did two seasons ago. Surely they can`t all be wrong but to be fair he did come on today and hit the post ....although it was unmarked and from 2 yards...

    My First Game of the Season, Perhaps my Last Ever?

    As the years have sped by my attendance at `pool games has gradually reduced from the start of a lifetime`s support 74 years ago that began at the age of just four when my father ,a season ticket holder for many years, took me to a reserve game. The first first team game I can remember going...

    Sir Bobby

    I have certainly had my Blackpool heroes over the years and had my England heroes too. Head and shoulders above them all for England was Bobby Charlton whose funeral it is today. His goal against Mexico in the 1966 World Cup when he ran half the length of the pitch then hit it like a shell...

    Flash in the Pan or can we Build on This?

    In 1966/7 we beat Newcastle 6-0 and fiunished bottom with what I vaguely recall was at that time a record low number of points. Is this another flash in the pan or can we perform a miracle here. What do you all think?

    BOWLER`S FEE

    There may have been other threads that have discussed this but if so I have missed them. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but according to the Daily Mail the fee was not the widely reported £4 million but around £2 million. Anyone know for sure rather than from presumption or guessing...

    Cricket season- Cricket Thread. England v India

    With the new Baz Ball McCullum, Stokes way it will be fascinating to see how well it can work against a very good Indian team. I still find it hard to adjust from the approach of win the toss 9 times out of 10 bat and on tenth time think about it and still bat but times and tactics move on...

    Offside?

    Apologies if anyone has already posted this but watching the 15 minute highlights on Sky just now the Millwall winner looked distinctly offside so far as I could tell or have I missed something?

    US PGA Anyone?

    I see the much hyped Rory is failing to contend in a major yet again.How many is it now since he won one, about 24 and 7 years. With the greater pressure in majors he just flops time and time again as I forecast he would to much derision on here in 2015 when the signs were clearly showing! I...

    Our Squad and our Club`s Owner

    It is abundantly clear that we are benefiting now from the great strength in depth of our squad with 7 potential first teamers currently unavailable and playing twice a week every week it is pretty extraordinary that if anything we are now playing better than ever. This is only possible because...

    Ian Evatt

    He looked to have been handed the poison chalice when he took the manager`s job at that car crash of a club Bolton and no-one was very surprised when early results were not good but his team with help from our old friends Gilks,Baptiste and Delfouneso are making rapid progress up the table...

    Half Time Team Talks.

    Over the years much has been made of the transformation in a team`s performance an inspiring half time team talk can have.Last night and certainly not for the first time this season (Doncaster being the most extreme example of several) our second half performance was transformed but again...

    Andrew Marr v Nicola Sturgeon

    Anyone watch this interview? AM a Scot himself absolutely tore her to shreds. Showing that in each of the last four weeks despite her claims to the contrary figures for deaths in Scotland are worse per capita than in England. That people in Scotland have been returned to care homes untested...
