Clegg’s constituency is Sheffield Hallam so he's going to be asked his opinion.

Barry v Liverpool in 2010 was a good one. 23 passes in the build up or something.

The glow of victory will dissipate when Ukip win the Clacton by-election.

Whatever the reason was for freezing out Hendry and Allen it can’t have been down to their ability. Maybe the fact that they were decent players meant they didn’t buy into Ellis’s coaching and tactics so they had to go? The standard of the top flight circa 89-93 was probably the poorest it had...

The case for independence is simply flag waving nationalism dressed up as progressive politics. The problems that afflict the poverty stricken in Glasgow are more or less the same as those faced by people in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Cardiff etc. The challenges facing fishing communities in...

Re: Bradford 1989 We only needed a point at Bradford whatever the Palace result. For Palace to go up we had to lose and they had to win and beat our goal difference which was five better than theirs.

The money that can be earned in a mid-table premier league side means they have no incentive to go and join a better team on the continent. Lallana’s a good example of this. At 26 his career is at a crossroads and it looks like he’ll go to Liverpool, but to develop as a player he’d probably be...

Pollock isn’t a cult hero by any stretch. Maybe they did mean Kevin Horlock. Possibly Moulden and Bishop could be added to the list. I wouldn’t include Trautman or Tueart, they were beyond cult status and genuine heroes and all-time great players for the club (especially Trautman).

This must be the case. When it’s a one off story in a Sunday tabloid you can take it with a pinch of salt but when all the broadsheets have it the next day with detail about wanting to play centrally etc then his agent (or someone connected to him) must have been briefing. It could be an...

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont Knutsford to Eastlands is 14 miles as the crow flies. I reckon their Bentley’s will manage a 25 minute commute. Wouldn’t really call the footballer belt south Cheshire. North East Cheshire really.

Mike Mills sings on REM's cover of Superman.

Goater in injury time against West Brom at Maine Road in 2000 wasn’t bad. We hadn’t won for a few games but that win took us 2nd again (I think). Bob Taylor against Birmingham in 2000 and all the goals against Sunderland in our first home game back in the Prem. Musampa against Liverpool in...

National Charities are big organisations that employ hundreds of people and run complex charitable and fund raising activities. That needs to be managed competently and therefore has a price attached. If they only employed people who were prepared to do the job for some nominal salary they...

I’ve got a bit of sympathy for Hoolahan. He’s on the fringes of the team, presumably being paid a lot less than under-performing bigger names despite helping them to two promotions and establishing them in the premier league. He has a chance to sign for big club with a Manager who rates him and...

Steve Lomas for West Ham in the FA Cup. Same game where Gio scored a wonder goal.

Ruud Gullit for Chelsea at Maine Road 1995 Chris Waddle for Bradford 1996 Kinkladze v Oxford at the Manor Ground 1997 Kinkladze v Middlesbrough 1998 Merson for Villa at Maine Road 2001 Zola at Maine Road 2002 Henry (and the entire Arsenal team) at Maine Road 2003 David James at Stamford Bridge...

I’m a bit surprised people are saying Bianchi. We had no decent forwards when he arrived and he scored a few goals and looked quite good. It’s a shame he didn’t settle in England but he was probably worth a punt and definitely better that Corradi and Samaras. I wouldn’t include anyone we’ve...

The article, like Conn, is naive and poorly informed. It provides no context and doesn’t challenge the spurious claim that City are deliberately being used to distract attention from human rights abuses. It contains the assumption that Sheik Mansour and Khaldoon are, somehow, apologists for...

Nasri cut me up on Princess Road after the Barnsley game. If he played with the same level of aggression as he drives with he’d be first name on the team sheet.

The Football Spectators Act 1989 essentially requires that stadia are all seater. The mechanism for this is the licensing arrangement for a football ground. The requirements of the license are stipulated by the Secretary of State via a statutory instrument. Therefore, for example, when Brighton...
