    We vehemently disagree about many things, we just remain civil, unlike many on here.

    See GD thinks Gino's a **** and I think he's a ****, but we agree to disagree.

    That reminds me of the old quote “Ed Balls is a man who divides opinion. There are those that would like to kick him in the nuts. And there are those who would like to smash him in the face.”

    Tom Conti lived in the same road in Hampstead as Vialli did when Luca was our manager. Conti’s house had a theatre in it and his garden backed onto that of one Thierry Henri. Who didn’t play for us.

    Can't see that any of them other than Andrew French would ask the right questions. You need people that have an understanding of corporate governance and ownership structures, finance and are on top of all the dodgy transfer dealings over the years- not TV presenters, Youtubers and Watford's version of a TalkSport phone in.

    There are plenty of regular fans that can ask difficult questions, you can easily find them on here and on Twitter.

    Clearly "financial stability" was not on our upper managements to-do-list then. Pi$$ing away money for the past four years is once of the reasons why we are here right now. As an aside, you have to wonder just how much money will have wasted paying off the other SEVENTEEN managers in their reign? It's got to be a huge chunk.

    Or the one about Van Morrison?

    Well, after a long graft of angling for an invite, the chosen representitive of WFC Forums proudly raised their hand to ask a question. Gino's head eyeline met the hand and nodded in anticipation of the question.

    After a deep intake of air, the forum member spoke in a clear and consice tone, the words we all wanted to know the answer for...

    "What is your favourite cheese?"

    Others would be about who can play the Hogg role, Billy Sharp Woo Hoo or how many Moog accounts does it take to fill a Rookery stand?

    Younger daughter went with her school recently to the UCAS exhibition in Brighton. The Uni prospectuses she returned with included one for Hull University. She couldn’t understand why I laughed and asked her what had interested her in one of the three “great universities” . (Turned out she had actually only visited their stall because they had good food :rolleyes:)

    It's a good enough reason!

    For a moment I thought you were going to say that one could take a degree in Blackadder!

    Oi. I went to Hull Uni, albeit 25 years ago. Great place, she'll have best three years.

    Years ago I was on a two-day course held by the RSoc. One of the first exercise was a 2 min talk - no props or PPT - saying how you were, where you were from, what your research area was, what you were going to talk about and why it was so 'important' for media exposure. Up stands one scientist:

    "I'm... and I'm from The Chemical Laboratory, my work..."
    [BLANK LOOKS IN THE AUDIENCE SOMEONE ASKS "Where?"]
    "The Chemical Laboratory."
    [BLANK LOOKS IN THE AUDIENCE A COUPLE OF VOICES TRY FOR CLARIFICATION ASKS "From where?"]
    "THE Chemical Laboratory."
    [SMILING FACES IN THE AUDIENCE & SOMEONE ASKS "Where's that?"]
    "Errrrrr... the university of Cambridge..."

    Definitely no shade at Hull - just always makes me think of that exchange in Blackadder :).

    Sounds like the Do Not Scratch Your Eyes chaps (and unspecified others) are involved in setting up the meeting. Said they'll be looking to get individuals and fan groups into it, and it'll be recorded but not played live.

    Fair enough, someone has to co-ordinate it so credit to them for taking it forward. They're expecting it to be late June/early July. Hopefully they don't put too many of their phone in regulars (in particular the paid subscribers or that woman who supports Manchester United but phones in every week) forward to ask the questions... Or even worse, the guy that drones on about what takeaway he's having. It was at the point where these regular callers started acting like they were minor celebrities that the whole thing became unlistenable.

    I hope they put that Wendover guy up and he gets outed for the whole ‘Scott Duxbury told me we were buying a RWB whilst we were celebrating a goal together’ thing.
