    Leeds vs Coventry tonight

    A decent full back who could defend. Could never understand that one. Or much of Martin's decisions really.

    I'm fan so biased, but this is great. First series narrated by Maxine Peak and ably replaced by Elizabeth Alker for the second. It's a good social record of 1976-1990 too...

    Le Coq Sportif

    Some nice Rugby Kits too. Not least the Newport RFC 'Porn' kit. The combination of Le Coq and the sponsor logo of a Beaver (Robert Price Builder's Merchants) on their mid-90s away shirt brought much mirth.

    Only one solution

    Russell Mael with his brother Ron as assistant could bring some Sparks to our team.

    Tariffs

    Already 100% tariffs on Chinese cars. Will just dominate rest of world-plenty of MGs already around. American cars have quality issues and dogs to drive. The tariffs are clearly against VAG and BMW. Either way they are going to cause inflation and the US will not be able to produce goods...

    "One bad decision doesn't define your season but continual bad decisions gets you relegated"

    I agree-along with Jordan Ayew's red card at Huddersfield, Big Sam parking the bus

    Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

    I should add-despite the 'Hollywood' money, Wrexham are another example of where as much focus has been on infrastructure development as the team-though always useful when your or family companies (Aviation Gin, Betty Buzz etc.) are involved in sponsorship-which is arguably where City's...

    Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

    It's not that weird, as despite the Abu Dhabi money, they are run better than most clubs, have a better and arguably sustainable infrastructure and an academy that generates both players and money-Palmer, Delap, Olise and Sancho sold for more than 70 million and plenty more (like Celina) for...

    Sheffield Utd after Harry Darling?

    In fairness to John Bond we went into receivership and came back from the dead the next season. Did a remarkable job in keeping us up after the disaster of Colin Appleton's tenure. That Friday night game with Rimmer's heroics was one of the best nights down at the old girl.

    If you could bring back one (or more) player(s)...

    As much as I loved the first Bony spell, I still think Bob Latchford was the best striker we have had. Just sad how far we have slipped. Even the poor teams of the mid-80s had some 'dog' even if they lacked ability. It's just so flat.

    JdG is the most underrated player from our PL time.

    If you could bring back one (or more) player(s)...

    Ash Williams. Probably could do a job still. Of the old Division 1 side would go for Robbie, though a thoroughbred centre forward like Bob Latchford would not go amiss either.

    Fabianski

    Nasty injury after collision with Nathan Wood. Hope he’s OK.

    Another Shooting

    Despite there being more knife crime in the US. It's a Farage dog whistle

    To a point. Research groups can be smaller but given expertise may be a discrete unit of 2-5 people. Unfortunately I have to lead a section of 9 academics from diverse areas, despite having no managerial training or skills.

    I am astonished how many support staff there are in Bristol compared to Liverpool. It does make my life a lot easier for me, but there is clear redundancy of function is some areas with often 3-4 senior staff doing a role that needs 1-2 people

    Redundancy is always more likely to hit academic and technical staff first-but there are masses of support staff, yet still increasing bureaucracy. Bristol has not got much choice in building as large parts of the Clifton campus are crumbling- and let's be frank selling that land for...

    Indeed-Nottingham are in a dire situation too. Everywhere is cutting back even if redundancy is not on the cards

    Immigration (net nearly 1m annual)

    Basically yes. Two factors-the expansion under Blair (for UK students) for which the initial £3K fee was introduced to build infrastructure. The Cameron government then moved to the current fee system whilst vastly reducing government support but also lifting caps on student numbers and...

    They are not in a good place financially though equally not on the edge of collapse like some (even in the Russell Group). Everywhere is cutting back.
