The next General Election: who will you vote for?
Different electoral systems of course, but Le Pen got a similar share of the vote to that of Cameron's Tories at our last General Election. Yet Cameron with his about 36% of votes was seen as fairly wide spread support and a relatively comfortable victory. Whereas Le Pen's 34% of French votes means ...

Nathan Smith
'Bog standard League 2' is a fairly generous assessment coming from Brucie. And several levels above where he rated Angus's future to be. Overall, I think Brucie generally provides a reasonable assessment of most players, and it could just be that analysing central defenders is his weak spot ? :) ht...

Season tickets
Southampton Gull In all seriousness it's been created by an individual not an organisation. Has anyone suggested anything other than that ? In fact had it not been my good mate Hector who instigated it, I wouldn't have bothered attempting to find fault, and with the total lack of seriousness that I ...

Season tickets
Four options whereby you might still eventually end up buying a Season ticket. Yet for all the myriad of reasons there could be for not buying one, such as moving to Scotland, starting a new job requiring you to work on Saturdays, or you've never bought one and won't be changing the habits of a life...

The European Union: We're out...!!!
S4fedr1ve Why were the leading brexiteers telling us we would not have to nescecarily leave single market in referendum campaign? I must admit, S4fedrive has a better memory than me for who said what. If I'd had to guess I'd have said both sides gave the clear indication that Out of the E.U meant no...

Torquay United v Forest Green Rovers National League Mon 26 Dec 2016
gullscorer sn't it still the case that a player cannot be offside in his own half of the pitch? And surely the offence is committed by the player who is offside, not the player who kicked the ball. Some rule changes only seem to make matters worse.. :( It's not as if we didn't have enough to talk ab...

Turning up on Boxing Day!
Some sensible points made by Dazza, and also by Hector when he says there 'may not yet be evidence that they have malevolent intentions regarding TUFC' . But the suspicions are there, and they'll be around for a good while yet. Therefore I feel it would be reassuring for a significant number of fans...

Re-wind January this year
lucy6lucy The club was 13 adrift at the bottom of the league. Relegation an almost certainty. The repercussions of relegation to the conference south would no doubt have led to part time football but most likely administration.

I'd agree totally with Rob, and this latest episode comes hot on the heels of former F.A Compliance Officer, Graham Bean, leaving his post as Newport's club secretary a few days ago. "I have left the club, Graham Westley is an impossible man to work with. I’ve been in the game for 20 years and ...
