It is a generational thing and the general feeling is that it marks the dead in the two world wars specifically. I know they’ve tried to update it to include all the fallen servicemen up to now, but I’m not sure whether that’s been self-defeating as there remains a lot of animosity about recent wars among a section of the population and I wonder how many people won’t buy a poppy because they think it condones the invasion of Iraq?
T’ain’t good. I still gag at calling New Springfield whatever sponsor Jack has decided on and we’re at a new-ish ground, but it’s all about the greed game nowadays. Naming grounds after sponsors just adds to the soulless feeling of the game nowadays.
In the scheme of things, does it really matter? The players and supporters can all buy and wear their poppies, they can place wreaths, they can invite members of the armed forces, they can have two minutes silence, all they weren’t allowed was to have the poppy embroidered on the shirt. Cameron’s “intervention” was purely a political option after the media-inspired frenzy. You agree or disagree with FIFA’s decision, but does it stop you, or anyone, wearing your poppy now?
Have a look on Vital. Barry’s uploading the interview in chunks. The first 20 minutes are there now.
I was called at around 12.50, and put it on here soon after….
Really? I knew about it yesterday afternoon. I’m surprised they only told you the next day.[/quote]
so why did you not tell us then ?[/quote]
Not my job and I presume at least some off here look at other messageboards too.

just wondered why the club never take time to reply to my messagesProbably caught by their spam filter ;)
Can’t see there being a huge amount of premier league clubs queueing up to buy that lot if we do go downIt is all a bit of a vicious circle. The players won’t have much resale value or interest in them if they continue playing this way, particularly the attacking players, with the possible exception of Moses. If, on the other hand, they did up their performances, we might just survive. I wonder whether Jack would prefer another year in the top league or relegation and recouping some money from player sales as well as reducing wages even more?
From the little we’ve seen of him, unlike Moses, Crusat is a winger that crosses the ball. That’s a problem for us because we don’t have forwards in the box to receive them. If we’d had Di Santo and Rodallega on together playing in the middle of attack, then Crusat would have had someone who just might have won a header and made a chance from his cross. We didn’t. All we saw, yet again, was Di Santo coming on and Rodallega wandering off to the wing.
He’s one man. Even if he signs, I’m not going to stop watching the team I’ve been supporting for thirty years. It might take the pressure off Gomez, though and give the boo boys someone else to target.
Too expensive for what they are. I haven’t bought one this millennium, apart from the League Cup final. I prefer buying a fanzine on the way in.
Personally I’d prefer we play the ball into the box, create a chance and score from it (though that doesn’t happen often). Too much long range shooting is very often a sign of desperation.
