They’ve totally lost any composure or control since the goal

Well that’s next season will have to wait and see what happens next summer. I think the WSL set up is terrible and yet again the FA pandering to the PL 6 they missed a great chance of setting up a fair and equal league.

Perhaps taking a pragmatic view as they’re never going to compete with the likes of Chelsea Man City Arsenal so they’re just battling to finish at best mid table at worst to avoid relegation.

Graham Nash kept a shoebox under his bed in 1969 filled with letters Joni Mitchell had written him, and the night David Crosby found them, he read one line out loud and said, “This is going to destroy the Hollies.” He was right. Those letters became the secret soundtrack to Nash’s exit from the band that made him famous. Nash had been living a life split by an ocean and a woman. In Manchester he was a pop star with polished harmonies and TV appearances. In Laurel Canyon he was surrounded by writers who turned heartbreak into masterpieces. Joni Mitchell was the center of that world. Their relationship was creative, romantic, volatile, and far too intimate for the Hollies’ polished image. The tension erupted when Nash brought songs inspired by Mitchell — sharp, emotional lyrics about jealousy and desire — into a Hollies meeting. The band stared at him like he’d brought in pages torn from his diary. One of them asked, “You expect us to sing this?” Nash didn’t answer. He didn’t need to. The truth was in the shoebox. While the Hollies wanted clean singles, Nash wanted songs with edges. “Marrakesh Express.” “Lady of the Island.” Pieces of his life with Mitchell. Pieces too personal for a British hit machine. The final break came during a session where the Hollies tried to record one of Nash’s new songs and mocked its intimacy. Nash looked at them and said, “If you can’t feel it, I can’t sing it.” That was the end. He left not with a plan, but with a suitcase full of letters and a creative life waiting in California. The scandal only deepened once he joined Crosby and Stills. Mitchell, Crosby, and Nash formed one of the most complicated triangles in rock history — creative loyalty on one side, romantic history on the other. Nash was writing love songs about her. Crosby was producing her. Stills was competing with both. No one handled it well. Every fight in that house echoed in the studio. Then came the heartbreak that stunned their circle. Mitchell ended the relationship in a single, calm conversation. Nash later described it as “watching the future dissolve.” She went upstairs. He walked out of the house carrying nothing. Crosby found him hours later sitting on the curb, holding one of the letters from the shoebox. Nash turned that grief into “Our House,” a song that sounded peaceful but came from one of the most painful days of his life. People think Graham Nash left the Hollies to chase fame in America. The truth is far messier. He left because the love he had, the art he wanted, and the life he saw in those letters no longer fit the band he was in. The scandal wasn’t the breakup. The scandal was that he chose truth over success and paid for it with the heart that taught him how to write in the first place.

Is this the ko stage?

For a start Top is just not articulate enough to be the big communicator. Ruskin or his replacement should be well enough informed and involved in all football aspects to communicate with the fans about football. I’m not saying Top doesn’t need to communicate.

I think he's missing the point I don't believe there are more than a handful of fans that expect us to win the PL or that we're in the Championship it's that way he, Rudkin and the CEO allowed the club to decline so dramatically which was mostly self inflicted. I'm not convinced that it's Top fans want to hear from surely they want to hear from the DOF on football matters, the CEO on what's are the ongoing plans for the club and the Communications top person to regularly communicate publicly with the fans and not just with Facebook and X postings.

Hardly tough questioning Missing the point - it's not simply about being in the Championship and I doubt there's more than a handful of fans that think of winning the PL again I hope when he talks about communication it goes beyond the FAB. Communication doesn't even mean hearing from Top, it's hearing from the DOF, CEO and the Communications person other than through some contrived representative group.

Well I would absolve them if they'd be told there's no money for pot holes. You'd have to blame whoever decided on the budget restriction/choices

Unless you know if any recruitment suggestions were his first choice or whether he was told this what we can afford what's available. You can't judge people blindly if you don't know the context etc.

Rudkin needs to be promoted to Horse Box Driver

Speechless! Fly tipping Kidlington Oxfordshire - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y4dxlgkp4o Fly-tippers have dumped an "illegal" mountain of waste in a field in Oxfordshire. The "environmental catastrophe unfolding in plain sight" is up to 150m (490ft) long and 6m (20ft) high and has appeared on a site between the River Cherwell and the A34 near Kidlington. Calum Miller, Liberal Democrat MP for Bicester and Woodstock, has raised the issue in Parliament, saying it was "threatening an environmental disaster" and calling it "pollution on a grotesque scale". He also said Cherwell District Council had estimated the cost of removing the waste would be greater than its entire annual budget. "This is not a licensed waste site and we can just see the quantity of waste that has been dumped here, that's illegal, so it's criminal," Mr Miller said. "That's not something that local residents and taxpayers can afford." He says "criminal gangs are dumping waste on this scale" across the country and it will take government intervention before pollutants "leech out" into local rivers. Charity Friends of the Thames said the illegal rubbish dump was created about a month ago by an organised crime group. Chief executive Laura Reineke said: "This is an environmental catastrophe unfolding in plain sight. "Every day that passes increases the risk of toxic run-off entering the river system, poisoning wildlife and threatening the health of the entire catchment. "The Environment Agency must act now, not in months or years, which is their usual reaction time." A restriction order had been put in place by the Environment Agency. It is hard to distinguish any particular bits of waste as it appears to have been shredded with earth mixed in. Some of the rubbish from the top of the pile has toppled and is now only five metres from the river. The River Cherwell is a tributary of the River Thames, which means it flows through Oxford before joining the Thames. Local angler Billy Burnell regularly fishes in the area and said he noticed the pile in September. He called it "horrific" and said the potential run-off into the river is an "environmental disaster waiting to happen" and would like to see "instantaneous reactions" from the authorities to incidents like this. Miller asked the government for help to remove the illegal tip before it caused a fire or was washed into the river system. Addressing MPs on Thursday, he said: "Criminals have dumped a mountain of illegal plastic waste... weighing hundreds of tonnes, in my constituency on a floodplain adjacent to the River Cherwell. "River levels are rising and heat-maps show that the waste is also heating up, raising the risk of fire. "The Environment Agency said it has limited resources for enforcement, that the estimated cost of removal is greater than the entire annual budget of the local district council." Environment minister Mary Creagh said the government had inherited a failing waste industry that had caused an "epidemic of illegal fly-tipping". She told MPs the agency had served a restriction order to prevent further access to the site. In a statement, the agency said it was investigating and appealed for information. It said: "We share the public's anger about incidents like this, which is why we take action against those responsible for waste crime." A recent House of Lords report found efforts to tackle serious waste crime have been "critically under-prioritised" despite the problem becoming bigger and more sophisticated. The Environment and Climate Change Committee recommended an independent "root and branch" inquiry into how "endemic" waste crime is tackled.

Hidden Leicester · Graham Hulme An old postcard of Humberstone Gate looking from the junction with Charles Street, c. 1950s. W. A. Lea's department store is seen on the right with the clock on the corner. William Adams Lea (1851-1933) was born in Orton-on-the-Hill where his father, John Lea, was a farmer. William established his draper’s shop in a dwelling house at 26b Humberstone Gate in 1876 and in the early days of the business William and his wife and family lived in Humberstone Gate. Later, with success and prosperity, he moved out to live in a house named Lea Hurst in Stoneygate Road. He had several children and his son Walter Lea was also involved in the business. Another son, Stanley, was killed in the First World War. The store was greatly expanded over the years, most notably in 1934 when an extension was built next to the late Victorian store at the corner of Humberstone Gate and along Charles Street, the clock being added to the corner extension at that time. In addition, the business had another drapery shop further towards Gallowtree Gate, at no. 8 Humberstone Gate, next to the Stag and Pheasant Hotel. William Adams Lea had died in January 1933 and his sons Walter and Geoffrey Lea were then running the business. In 1957 the business was taken over by the Debenhams Group, though the name and the family’s management were retained. The store was closed at the end of March 1970 and demolished shortly after. A new C&A store was constructed on the site which opened in November 1972 (now a Primark store). On the left of Humberstone Gate is seen the bulky edifice of Lewis’s department store. Lewis’s opened their new store here on Saturday 21st March 1936 when thousands of people gathered in Humberstone Gate to witness the event. The Lord Mayor of Leicester, Richard Hallam, declared the building open and the opening ceremony was broadcast to Lewis’s other stores across the country. Outside, a fanfare of trumpets sounded from the roof on the opening and flags unfurled from flagstaffs. Around 20,000 people were said to have poured into the new building in the first hour after the opening. The store, Lewis’s seventh, cost about a quarter of a million pounds to build and was designed by Gerald de Courcy Fraser of Liverpool, who was architect to the company. The chairman of the company, Harold Cohen, and the full Board of Directors attended the opening, including Sir Frederick Marquis, joint managing director together with Cohen. Sir Frederick Marquis was to become chairman of Lewis’s a few months later on Cohen’s death (Sir Frederick was subsequently made Earl of Woolton and in political life he was Minister of Food from 1940 in the wartime government - in this capacity he was responsible for food rationing and the famous “Woolton Pie” was named after him). A large extension was added to Lewis’s store towards Charles Street and the Manchester Working Men’s Club in the mid 1960s. The store closed down in January 1994 and was demolished, except for the distinctive 160 feet high tower, during the summer of that year.
