    True, coming back from Yorkshire and then a day or two later travelling to south west Wales you're going to get travel fatigued. At least after Christmas we have two home games followed by QPR away then another home game before the FA Cup 3rd round meaning travel shouldn't be in the equation.

    Yes - I was thinking, under Boothroyd we had Henderson, King and Young up front. And still only went up via the playoffs.

    And Spring scored a fair number of goals, both Reading and Sheffield United were by far the best teams in the league that season, we were 3rd and were 9 points behind Sheffield Utd, the run of 1 win in 7 in March to early April pretty much ended any outside chance of an automatic promotion spot. We were invincible in the play offs though.

    Knowing our medical staff, it might be a case of Festyna Lente.

    How many employees do they have in total ? Is the above range demonstrating a top heavy organisation or is it just a small % of the employees emphasising that their wages bill will be pretty huge in total ?

    I do. Yes and I also have an idea of what PIRA did.

    He comes from Wexford. Which is nearer to Wales than Belfast. The partition was 103 years ago. He has never witnessed any of the troubles. But, according to you, his point is, he was taught it at school, though it has never had any relevance to him, his parents, his grandparents as the last action, that took place in the Republic of Ireland by a British soldier was over 100 years ago.

    I can understand McCleans point of view as he comes from the Creggan Estate, even though he seems to harbour back to one Sunday afternoon over 50 years ago, he would of grown up with older people who lived with it day to day. But good old Festy only had his teachers and his much worn out Wolftones CD, to guide him on his path, to him upping sticks and moving to the Country that his teachers had warned him against, because of the Britsh Army and take the dollar.
    I take two things from that, one, that peoples beliefs are easily bought and changed and two, if the British Army was that bad, I'd stay put, not move to the country where they are based.

    World War I also ended over 100 years ago. Is that irrelevant?

    1649 according to the same Charity Commission source. No indication on that site how that breaks down between full and part time jobs. There’s probably publicly accounts which may give an indication of the wage bill.

    It is. As is the British occupation of Ireland, certainly to the Irish.

    You say that as if someone from Wexford can’t have solidarity with someone from the same island (and in his case he’d probably consider the north the same country) as him…

    Not saying British rule in Northern Ireland is anywhere near as cruel these days as WW1, but Britain are indeed still ruling it when a large number of people there would rather they didn’t, whereas whatever issues we’ve had with Germany have pretty much been resolved

    Last thing I’ll say on the poppy debate, I remember Nemanja Matic didn’t wear one, and I don’t remember him getting anywhere near as much stick as any Irish player for his choice

    Ironically, that’s about the only thing they’re still aggrieved about!

    During the year I lived there, it was reported in the news of the unveiling of a statue of Bomber Harris in the UK. This caused some upset as it is Germany's belief that the actions of completely firebombing cities like Dresden was an unnecessary act as the Nazis were on the path to defeat at that time.

    Watched it again this afternoon when I was supposed to be working from home. In my head I thought Oxford were a little bit more on top in the first half but after watching it again they wasn't really, we were probably the better team in the first half as well. Second half we just played through Oxford like they were not there. Really poor finishing and final balls let us down massively should have been at least 3 or 4. I didn't realise watching it first time what a good game James Morris had. I feel Louza being able to keep the ball moving was beneficial in getting Chakvatadze the ball in more space. I know we all know this but having watched that back and paying attention more to Bayo he really is a weak link, several times the ball went up to him and he had keen runners to to the left and right and he couldn't hold the ball up. If we had a forward that was able to hold onto the ball and lay it off to Chakvatadze or Baah in transitions we would be lethal, don't necessarily think we need a goalscorer.

    Additionally, I saw a few people moaning about Jebbison's performance he played about 4 minutes when we were sitting back and trying to hold onto the lead, madness.

    Didn't realise Oxford didn't have a shot on target either, surely the first time our opposition hasn't managed a shot on target this season.

    Bachmann made a few saves, 3 of them were definitely going in so I have no idea where that stat has come from!

    Just watched the game back obviously missed them. You are right though they did get a few shots on target looking at the stats.
