    FA Cup 2016-2017

    I was proper gutted for Wyombe. I lived near High Wycombe for four years and followed their exploits. They gave a cracking account of themselves though.

    U21 Premier League Cup

    Were they? Thought there'd been a ban on away fans? Or maybe it was for a different cup game?! :dk:

    Match Day Burnley v Leicester, Tuesday 31st January 19:45

    Can see us playing Gray up front for this one and using his pace, if he can stay onside! Leicester's centre halves are as slow as molasses! Should win this one. Their away form is almost as bad as our away form and with our home form, such as it is. We'd be looking at 3 points.

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

    Seems we were never really interested in Snodgrass anyway. Word on the grapevine was it was just a ruse to get Norwich to panic a little regards our interest in Brady. We've offered them what will equate to £13 million after add ons. £10 million for a 30 year old with a risky injury past...

    The Joke thread

    Jose Mourinho has promised fans of Manchester United that they will be in a major European competition next year. Even if he has to write the song himself.

    The Joke thread

    I said to my Doctor “I’ve badly bruised my penis in a surfing accident”. He said “Did you fall off your board?” I said “No, I had to slam my laptop shut because the wife walked in

    Well received I believe despite the connotations Dirk. I know it's well loved in France.

    Match Day Liverpool v Chelsea, Tuesday 31st January 20:00

    Can't beat terraces for generation of an atmosphere. By it's very structure, it lends to people being able to congregate in a group which makes for great atmosphere. Surprised by Gillingham, think they have potential to do better than they do on their catchment area.

    Match Day Liverpool v Chelsea, Tuesday 31st January 20:00

    All seater stadia haven't helped that one Camborne. With terraces the noisy fans gathered in groups. Seats ended that by dispersing fans around the stadiums.

    Match Day Liverpool v Chelsea, Tuesday 31st January 20:00

    The last time I went was 1983 and they had a good side then and the atmosphere was very poor then for a league cup semi! When I say they had a good side. I mean they won the title!

    Match Day Liverpool v Chelsea, Tuesday 31st January 20:00

    I live near Anfield and one thing it isn't is a noisy temple, nor are they noisy fans. If I didn't look out of the window for home games I wouldn't know they were playing. Not to mention this 'Anfield roar'. Which is non existent. Yeah they sing their little song and all that and even that I...

    Mobile Phone Question (Notification volume)

    I've been scouring t'interweb for advice on a specific issue I have with my phone. No luck. I screen all calls/texts and have a feature on my phone that speaks out the name/number of the incoming call/text so I can decide to ignore it or pick up without reaching for my phone. Very useful if the...

    The Over 40's club

    Grange Hill. Staple viewing in the late 70's/early-mid 80's for us at school. Our teachers hated it as what bad behaviour was portrayed on the show ended up happening at our school. They ended up recording it and watching it so they could prepare for any bad behaviour after the epidose where all...

    Rene from 'Allo 'Allo

    I liked Allo Allo with the original cast with Sam Kelly ('Heil Hitler' - 'Klop!') the original Herr Flik etc. Guy Siner as the gay German 'Lieutenant Gruber' too. It got a bit silly towards the end (if it was possible) but was one of their better shows, along with AYBS. It was big news. He...

    Rene from 'Allo 'Allo

    R.I.P. He popped up in various shows from Lloyd and Croft, including a couple of appearances on Are You Being Served? Lucky to survive the storm of 1987 when he was hit on the head by a projectile being blown through his car window.

    Andre Marriner referee for the Bristol City game. Could be worse, could have been Dean or Pawson.

    U21 Premier League Cup

    Wondering why our game today against Rovers is being played at Morecambe's ground?! I know away fans are banned (yes even at this level) but why Morecambe? :dk:

    Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

    Media rumours. Apparently nothing in it from our perspective. We have back up unless we're planning to swap Long for Roberts but he's just had surgery on his knee. He'd be down the pecking order and at his age has no resale value and would never get a game, barring an injury to Mee and even then...

    Swans set for bottom three

    He did alright at Derby, was panned for a weird reason as far as I remember. Their chairman cited that promotion wasn't a priority as the reasoning for his sacking. All very odd seeing as they were fifth place at the time after 33 games.
