Strictly speaking, one for "Off Topic" as it's about his time at Watford, but just read a positive review of a new book by Robert Preston (also wrote "A Very English Scandal"), titled "Watford Forever - How Graham Taylor Saved a Football Club, a Town and Each Other". Might be one for the...

I know this has been commented on before, but first time in the lower GBM this season, I couldn't believe the numbers who headed off to the fan zone more than 6 minutes before half time, then drifted back early in the second half. Poetic justice that they missed the goal as a result...

Plenty of names bandied about already, some good, some bad, some marmite. So who do you not want, and why. I'll start with Paul Tisdale. One club wonder, nothing since, damaged goods.

Needs it's own thread. Terrific comeback win for the mighty Lions this weekend, Itoje is a god.

I know Harry's release is being discussed at length in the 'Retained List' thread, but with the service he's given the club it's appropriate for him to have a thread of his own. 5 seasons, over 200 appearances, 2 titles - the only Imps player to play for the club moving upwards in 3 divisions...

I hope MA has the players watching a recording of the penalty shootout which has just won the Europa Cup for Villareal, 11-10, and then practising execution. All penalties scored until De Gea rolled the ball gently to the Villareal keeper. All 11 Villareal players, including the keeper, knew...

Switch on Channel 4 this morning for a bit of breakfast junk TV and there's a bunch of blokes in white on a big field, lobbing a red ball about or hitting it with sticks. Claims to be "Test Cricket" with India v England. Great to see it back in terrestrial tv and England going ok, 140-2 at...

This has interesting timing. When we won the home fixture, there was a lively debate on here between those who saw the match as an astute 'rope-a-dope' performance against ineffectual tippy-tappers, and those (like me) who watched the match between our fingers and thought we got away with one...

Two years ago this weekend (well, the following Monday night) the Imps secured only their second ever FA Cup win over a club more than a division higher, and on national TV, kick starting the ride of my lifetime supporting the Imps. This Tuesday, we drew away to the same club in a league match...

Man City away. Now that is awful, whoever designed that cleared off home leaving it unfinished.

As per the 'Mandron/Godden' thread and nlondonimp's successful rehab list of Robinson, Marriott and Eardley, working with the Cowleys will be an increasingly attractive proposition for higher level players recovering from serious injury. (Don't think Theo ticked that box but he got his career...

Mulling my way back north on Tuesday through the interminable 50mph roadworks on the M6. The performance and result was the best away league performance I've personally witnessed in 50 years following the mighty Imps, but that's a relatively low bar, my matches have been largely confined to the...

12 months ago, the Imps played their first competitive match under the Cowleys, away in the National League to a side under 'W' in the alphabetical list, at Woking. We'd been non-league since 2011, always finished in the bottom half and flirted with further relegation. Cup competitions had been...
