Surrey Bob - if Nolan is so good, why are Northampton in the relegation places? Talking with my friend at Northampton - they do not know how to score goals, and been like that for months. Recipe for disaster. So likely to be outscored in most games.

Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's game. It was a real pleasure in the first half to watch Tilley destroy the right side of their defence immediately in front of us. As well as the absolute moment of magic from Browne to set up Maycock. If it hadn't been for their keeper the game would have been a lot more comfortable than it eventually was. But, some credit to Nolan for taking quick and early action to stop that happening and for later taking Eaves off once it had become so apparent that Bauer had him tucked in his back pocket - point to ponder, if that had been us, would Jackson have been so quick to act?. Nolan's actions gave us a lot more to deal with going from defending a blunt instrument attack to one with a lot of pace and some creativity. But credit to our defence and McDonnell for dealing with it.

I love most of Michael Jackson's music and won't not listen to it because of what he was alleged to have done. He's dead and any royalties I guess goes to his innocent offspring. I also loved Gary Glitter's stuff but wouldn't listen as he'd still get royalties.

Did you look up the number of streaming plays before you posted that?

Sure

Yes, I'm not a Jackson fan but I can see how those who are still think some of his music was excellent and judging by the number of streaming plays there are many of them. If you destroyed your Jackson CDs or listen every day that is a personal decision. I don't think it was all that relevant to the main thrust of the article though so I'd have preferred he left it out.

You can’t argue that case when the summation is “putting all the allegations aside it’s a great song and isn’t that all that really matters?’

Not for you then Trigger which is absolutely fine. The bits about how people are now so certain and dismissive of other opinions and even facts seems well argued to me. I agree that moving on to the arguement about separating art and artists was more derivative and less well argued.

“Putting all the allegations aside - as well as the multi million pound pay-off, non-disclosure agreement, and much delayed forthcoming trials - Jackson was a man who admitted to sharing his bed with prepubescent boys. Can you imagine that now, with contemporary child protection sensibilities. Have we become poisonously cynical or properly sceptical? And Jackson was a giant. How would a lesser talent, under a similar shadow, be regarded? But even with a figure as arguably monstrous as Jackson, there are complications. Let me explain. My best friend Allan Robb, no longer with us, was a great radio journalist who never saw 50. At university we'd roar through the Aberdeenshire countryside on his bike, with not a care in the world. We always imagined Michael Jackson's "One Day in Your Life" as our soundtrack. He loved that song, and I love the fact that he loved it. I always will and nothing will ever change that. And do you know what? That's why I occasionally still listen to it. It's transcendent, yes, but it's complicated.“

Thanks LD, I liked the article.

Nicky Campbell???

Wally Downes ) Kevin Nolan

Excellent article by Nicky Campbell: [Link]

They have already RK according to the article, down to £1000 which is still harsh but battery fires are dangeous to the people and the infrastructure dealing with our waste.

Reminds me of Darlogate and rules is rules [Link]

That's right OI

Nolan [Link]

Already spent the ground fund.

Nolan accepted the job then rang Erik back and said he’d need more money which we couldn’t provide

RK I was thinking the same. Deffo Nolan turned us down a few years ago. Can’t remember who had just left/been sacked, and who actually got the gig but I recall he was our first choice but for whatever reason he didn’t fancy it.

Think Vinnie is worth more than 8 million, but agree with Trigger don’t think he would invest he might like to spend but he is nobody’s fool

He’s ridden the ride a few times and he’s paying it forwards. Absolute legend.

He's spending a fair whack in West Sussex, he's just finished his latest series in the countryside, and in it he's gone all Viv Nicholls.

Not putting words into his mouth but VJ would take one glance at the people running this club and trust* and keep his money firmly in his pocket.

His net worth is about £8m so doubt he would be a funder but possibly someone to front it?
