    Best special forces.

    As an occasional reader of Soldier of Fortune and having a Tony Soprano style penchant for military documentaries my question is which is your favourite special forces unit? Please add any supporting evidence for your choice such as any embassies you have stormed or similar.

    Has any player ever had such a massive turn around in fortune that anyone can remember? I have only seen him twice and that was against York and Aldershot and I thought he was awful - just goes to show what I know and I am delighted to be proved wrong. Huge credit to Luggy for sticking with...

    How will the story end...?

    There's a distinct lack of threads at the moment, likely due to our good fortune. That's not a criticism, there just always seems to be less to debate when things are running smoothly on the pitch... So how do we think the season is going to pan out from here? Our goalkeeper has had some...
