Well they won’t will they ? They been there, got the tee shirt etc. They’re older than I am, they’ve nothing new to say. Just as importantly - they know that. What’s Bob Dylan had to say recently that is ground breaking ? Nothing is forever in life.

I’m sorry but people will be playing “ Something “ by George Harrison when Paul Weller is forgotten. “ The best love song of the last 50 years - Frank Sinatra “. I liked “ The Jam “ loads, they were a breath of fresh air at the time, but I think you’re letting your enthusiasm get the better of your judgement. Ray Davies, that somebody else mentioned, is also more influential. Not to mention Pete Townsend, Van Morrison etc etc.

It’s the not talking about it that makes it a bigger problem than it should be. . It can happen to anyone at any time. Like going over on your ankle stepping down off the curb. The more people are open about it the better.

Ha ha ha. It’s not just the ground breaking music they made, they were a cultural phenomenon. Nothing was the same after the Beatles. You had to be there to appreciate just how big they were. 1 to 5 in the US top ten at a time when British bands never got a mention. Did Paul Weller ever do that ? George Harrison was probably a better song writer than Weller, never mind John and Paul. Regarding Maccas output when he was past it - it’s like saying Pele wasn’t much good at New York Cosmos.

Mm, maybe we should start looking. The guy at Girona is working miracles.

Yeah, you only realise how crippling it can be when you’ve had a taste yourself. I went through a rough time after my divorce but I’m back in control now - I think. There are things more important than football rivalries.

Girona top of La Liga. Maybe our defeat wasn’t that bad after all.

You should be in journalism - maybe you already are ?

Yeah I just saw the highlights on SKY. The keeper makes Pears look like Gordon Banks. Has he got lead in his boots ! The Arse centre half towered over him, did nobody tell him he’s allowed to use his hands ? As far the sending off, the lad probably made himself dizzy with all the rolls he did after what was minimal contact.

To give us a bit of size at both ends of the pitch, plus some hold up play in their half. If he can’t do that why did we sign him ?

“ Weller is in the same league as Lennon and McCartney “ - in your dreams.

Why didn’t Ennis come on instead of Leonard ?

Garrett was the obvious one.

Most people expect the home results to be better than the away results. Poor home form is “ box office poison”.

If we weren’t prepared to play Ennis last night, even as a sub, when are we going to play him ?

I’m uneasy about JDT using the travelling as an excuse for players being injured. As I said earlier you need to avoid giving players excuses when things aren’t going right.

Give 90% of pro players excuses not to perform and they’ll take them.

The culture at the top of the club isn’t right. There is no real pressure on results from the owners. We don’t have enough players with a winning mentality. We retreat into the last third of the pitch too easily. We lack the courage to keep playing a “ normal ” game and persist in dropping back. I got told as a young player - “ You can defend your own half for a long while, you can defend the penalty area for a short while, but when you try to defend the six yard box for any length of time you’re in trouble “ .

I agree with that, in fact I said it myself earlier. Why is it that we have so many starters out injured ? I read somewhere on this site that JDT said “ We train as we play “. If that’s true, at this point in the season it’s not too smart a policy.

But that stumbling block will always be there as long as they own us. Imagine for one minute we got promoted. What would happen next ? The full spotlight of the Premier League circus will be on them and their dodgy dealings. They’ll be expected to chuck relatively serious money at the team, otherwise we’ll be embarrassed in front of the English football world. As I see it there’s no incentive for them to back a promotion team and every incentive to keep us bumping along, not making waves, in the lower reaches of this league.

Well we’re more likely to finish in the bottom 6 as we are the top six.

The Valentino’s - Looking For A Love

It got Luton promoted last season.

If he was on a “ pay as you play” contract we’d be laughing.

We’ve no size in the team. Losing both Carter and Hyam was a big problem.
