Always tough to judge anyone's actions if they are a depressive - which, after seeing the documentary about depression Clarke Carlisle made for the BBC, he clearly is. I suffer from it and am always interested to see how people react to suicide. Most people with no understanding of depression believe people should just 'get on with it' or 'buck up' as my mum used to say. Maybe Carlisle's driving around pissed was his way of getting on with it? When you are depressed the world is a different place where getting up for a piss can seem like Chinese maths. I'm not condoning Carlisle's actions in any way and I do think he's a bit of a twat honestly but I know depression when I see it. A lot of footballers, and us mere mortals, are left with a gaping whole in their lives when they are forced to stop doing what they love doing or at least used to doing. Just look at Gary Speed

As a romantic aside, I clocked off work in town at 9 and it was a lovely to see the match on full blaze in every front room I strolled by, whilst listening to Jack Dearden...

I was one of 87 Whites who saw him play against us away at Fulham - where we always lose. He looked fat and past it then. That was three years ago. Great player in his time. But - any positive is positive. Get him on in the FA Cup

Ref tonight was Geoff Eltringham - as good enough an excuse to put this up. Belting win mind...

Not sure why people are saying 'It won't happen overnight' - why not? I fucking love this fella. First managerial appointment I've ever been excited about - get involved!

Balls to you negative bastards. This is a huge, huge appointment.

This is the best news for the club since we signed Anelka. His interview with the Bolton News suggests we are in for a great few years. If we get behind this fella it could be the Rioch era all over again - with even higher stakes. The structure is there - that's why we're in debt. I'm well excited. It's what we've been waiting for for seven and a half years. Neil Lennon's Super White Army!

You speak to me, In sign language, As I'm eating a sandwich.

Book a table in The Octagon. Three courses for £15. It's alright too.

Just watched The Damned United again on iplayer. Top book too. Did Clough ever manage a team v Bolton? 34 and I just remember his breakdown/green jumper years at Forest early 90s. That Elton Welsby comeback was the season after he fucked it?

I lived in London for 7 years and I moved back up here this summer. I'm a cyclist. Drivers in London give cyclists far more respect than up here as the roads are full of them and they're used to sharing the road with them. Cycling up here is a fucking nightmare as drivers generally have the attitude of 'who does this prick think he is?' I can drive and I observe the rules of the road but I've nearly been killed sever times for having the audacity to be on the right side of the road when turning right at a junction. How else am I supposed to turn right without getting mowed down? I agree that there should be some official licence as there are rules to the road we all need to stick to buy until people stop seeing folk who choose to get about using a cheap, fast and healthy means as an arrogant, tree hugging inconvenience - cyclists will continue to die.

It was on telly during the Elton Welsby glory years. I remember sodding off to play football after we went 2-0 down. Came back and we'd won 4-3.

It was FUCKING boiling in the 3-3 at Grimsby. I'd forgotten all about that lad running the length of the pitch - the fact that wouldn't happen these days makes the memories even sweeter. One of our fellow posters had PAATELAINEN printed on the back of his shirt in those cheap furry knock off letters from Smiths sports and it stretched over the whole back and sleeves of that dreadful collarless yellow kit. Good chips in Grimsby too.

Can't believe I had my post taken off here - Chris Eagles has got an erection in that photograph. Isn't that a statement of fact?

And N'Gog's looks like it's been Photoshopped out as well. Pink pound 13/14

Erm, has anyone else noticed Chris Eagles has got a stalk on??

As a money grabbing 17 year old twat the night we beat Charlton at the last game at Burnden I was collecting glasses in town. Crompton's Mule to be precise. I still hate myself for it. I also missed the play off win against Reading as I was on a school trip to Spain. These still hurt. Regrets?

It was a mandolin - fair play to the bloke I say.

It's barely 26 months since we were in a Champions League place with Coyle. Looking back it was like getting pissed on a cheap bottle of Lidl vodka - the high so easy to attain but the crushing hangover was bound to come. It did, at Wembley, of all places. And, like getting pissed on something cheap and easy, the hangover is brutal. We (Coyle) turned to going to McDonalds the morning after by signing shite. Doug is here to slap our faces and get us out of bed. Let's stick with him and realise we need to endure some shit to move on.

Bloke takes over a job from a bloke that got sacked for incompetence. When he's moving into his new office the fella he's replacing gives him two envelopes and says "When you get into a situation you can't handle, open the first envelope. If you ever get into another situation you can't handle, open the second one." Things go well until something dreadful happens so he opens the first envelope. It says "Blame the guy before you." He does, and everyone believes in him again. More good times until another disaster. So he opens the second envelope; it says "Write two letters."
