All down to the CPS now. I do get the impression they're out to make a name for themselves in PR terms so the families can have a bit hope that they'll charge anyone they can get. Duckenfield is the obvious one but if I was ex premier league chief exec Sir David Richards I'd be " speaking to my advisors" pretty sharpish.. EDIT: is that horrendous arsehole Graham Kelly still alive?...secretary of the FA who didn't care that Hillsborough didn't have a safety cert..

All 96 victims found to be unlawfully killed by new inquest

I thought we'd seen the future that day....as you say Shearer went off injured and Lua Lua had come on for Carl Cort, from that point we ripped them a new one. Robert,Solano,Dyer and Lua just ran over the top of them, promoted by Jenas who at that point looked brilliant. We were all stood right along the back seats but ended up lying sprawled in the gang way 20 feet down when the winner went in. Don't know if any one has mentioned Leeds at Elland Road the same season just before Christmas, similar stuff we were 1-3 down and wom 3-4, I came out if that game hugging a lad I'd never met before, he had tears in his eyes, which was about a week before we won at Highbury to go top, Henry tried to kill the ref? The pace we had in the team was unreal at that time, even under KK we didn't have so many players that would just run past the opposition which just sent the support in the stands insane at times. If you were stood near the back at Derby the Scottish voice you heard may have been a poster from this very message board

Completely agree re the media, but its not the Arsenal fans to blame for any agenda the slugs from the press have. I think the similarity is in two systems set up with no real ambition to achieve above the level the clubs are at. Wenger keeps buying dainty no. 10s who are lovely footballers but won't buy a Gattuso type or a centre half to replace that German cart horse. As you say our system is completely different but amounts to the same thing; treading water, and ultimately in our case, falling below the surface completely.

Didn't they parade through the streets in support of him when they were going through a bad spell?...got roundly condemned for carrying not just supportive banners but an actual framed portrait of the man?

You could also say ( pre this season obviously) that we shouldn't complain as we're in the premier league and the likes of Leeds and Sheffield Wedsnesday aren't. It's about expectation more than anything. 1200 quid for a season ticket at the Emirates doesn't entitle you to a thing tbh but it does concentrate the mind I imagine. I'd say it's difficult for anyone to properly judge how it feels as a gooner unless you're stumping up the cash and watching their board being happy with 3rd/4th and the odd cup. In a season where Leicester or, in a way even worse, Spurs are going to win the league, it must be driving them around the bend.

Nowt has changed at Arsenal in a decade, the same things are failing season after season with the same people in charge happy just to be treading water with no real end in sight. They're similar to us, just their expectations are a bit higher.

Everton at home next month is the mackems game in hand, at the moment that's as easy as PL fixtures get... Could do with the scousers beating Manu at the weekend to keep their season alive, if they're knocked out then the 13th May looks like a home banker for the tramps..

He's taken about the same time to do it as Keegan did when he came back in 2008. Thing is KK was appointed mid January, not March ...

George Monbiot attempts to answer the old " wtf is going on? " chestnut.... http://gu.com/p/4tbfb?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other I imagine @@Park Life would enjoy getting stuck into it, is it time to send out a search party yet?

The thing that gets me is when he first came back to the club and Pardew told him to find a new club. Am pretty sure that to all intents and purposes that means "pick your cards up on the way out, you're sacked". Anyone on here reckon they'd do that to a fellow employee if their boss told them to? We'll never know how Pardew said it, whether there was an explanation, or an expression of profound regret. Maybe that question is pretty unfair to ask on here, but ffs, Pardew is a millionaire, he'll never have to work again. I think that was the lowest point of the Ashley regime by a million miles, and let's face it, the bar isn't high.

Who's writing the new program?....and will the present owner of the copyright to the game let just any old has been programmer re write it or will he cheerfully just sell the title on at a loss to fuck knows what sort of idiot amateur gamer..pretty much against character and his own business principles, it has to be said....

What about the better parts of Altrincham, Sale or Swinton?...they're almost all red but anyone over 45 is likely to have followed the fuckers even when they were shit...anywhere predominantly citeh (and I include all my mothers family in this) is likely to be a dump, and that pretty much includes Didsbury as far as I can remember....long time since I've spent by real time there though..

True 2016 office waller >>>> sparky aptitude test: Answer yes or no to the following questions.. Can you accept that tea/coffee when you feel like it is likely to be a bit of a problem 60ft up in cherry picker with the retailers of Dixons Group PLC already boxing you in with widescreen TVs and tumble dryers? Do you like to hear casual racial, sexist, lgbt and other prejudiced-based humour on at a least half hourly basis? Do you like explaining the basic skills of the trade to our Eastern European brothers, simultaneously ignoring the point that they're on the same money as you? Can you handle the culture shock of your work load not being answering a load of emails but actually producing physical and visual evidence of what you've achieved during your shift? If you answered mostly "no" then you'll be on the dole for another six months...again.. If you answered mostly "yes" then there's literally dozens of agencies willing to exploit your skills and stuff the excess of what they charge snivelling corporate contractors into their back pockets in return for your sweat. Attractive isn't it? Ps...seriously, good luck with your move...just don't take any heed of their fuckin football teams

"Every silver lining has a cloud....." http://gu.com/p/4t268?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Just to say the hugely admirable David Conn has a massive hard on for Dave Richards. He annihilated him in a book about a decade ago for being, to all intents and purposes, the man responsible for ground safety at Hillsborough at the time of the disaster and his subsequent rise amongst the great and the good of football to become the chief exec of the premier league and the knighthood that came with it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beautiful-Game-Searching-Soul-Football-ebook/dp/B004FEG2Z4/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1460386454&sr=1-1&keywords=David+conn

Those three dots don't appear in the app on my iPad...the generic Apple share symbol does though and after I opened it in safari it still just posts the link, and Fish's does the same, but it did make me try photo bucket in safari and it's worked a treat Cheers

@@sammynb Picked up in Humm records in Newtown, Sydney last week, think it's from last years record store day...this years will entail a visit here... http://www.recordstoreday.com.au/business-directory/756/clarity-records/

I don't use it but I'll give it a go. I like the full desktop site, but even that doesn't give image posting options on my iPad @@Ant

Think am using it wrong? It will only post the image link, not the actual image. Fish's one seems better but the login thing asked for my email then my password and user name, then said that something other was invalid..

Well done Tom, how much have they quoted you for insurance?...a kidney?

That style was quite popular in the early nineties I seem to recall

Have you read "touching distance"? There's a few chapters that bring a lump to the throat but Ned's almost did me in We were shit, but everyone tried and no one hid. Mark Stimson was fuckin appalling but he never ever stopped wanting the ball and trying something down the left. I felt a bit sorry for him more than once but I've no sympathy whatsoever for any of the present squad.

Can anyone recommend an iphone/iPad app that can be used for posting images on here?.... I used to use photo bucket but it wasn't working very well and was affecting my 5c really badly so I deleted it from it and my iPad. Thought I might re install them but they're not in App Store anymore apparently?....tried tinypic and it doesn't appear to work on here...any suggestions gratefully received

It's spot on like. He's the most self regarding yet overwhelmingly below average prick that's ever been shat into existence. Boxing Day 2007 at Wigan is still the worst I've seen us play and we only lost one nil. Think of the fuckin shit we've watched since then All this "if ah were called Sam Allerdyche ahd be managing Real Madrid" is precisely what the article is about.
