Match Day Thread Hull City v Swindon

Was one the star and one the stand in or equal billing and money??

 

Two dogs played Eddie in Frasier. The second was the son of the first one. The first one was given up by his owner as he couldn't handle him but with 6 months training he was appearing on Frasier.
Apparently Kelsey Grammer was a bit miffed when Eddie the dog was the first character from Frasier to be on the front cover of Time Magazine.

 

I wish my dogs could earn me what they earnt their owner.

 

Copa libertadores on bbc I player at 8 pm

Neither are Tom Eave's size 10's..

 

Won 8 out of 9

 

Its effectively a third spot trophy
I'm talking about winning a trophy in a competition .
1966

 

Exactly. We've got a decent shot if we pull our socks up against Lincoln.

 

Hadn't seen your post when I replied to him.

 

I'd go near to full strength personally !

 

One achieved something a long time ago but nobody appreciated it, and the other was top of the league but the league was **** and nobody appreciated it.

 

Happy with the 3 points in the end, lack of fluency in the game for us, some decent short spells of pushing the ball around well but with no end result, A couple of the lads looked jaded and maybe in need of a rest with games coming thick and fast. thought all season we have looked the fitter team against most of the opposition so far but today we started to run out of puff. but fair play to the lads, we just need to concentrate on our results and not worry about those around us, though Donny are sneaking up quietly. Greg Doc my man of the match today.

 

Is that a Sao Paulo derby or is one from Rio, or both, making it a Rio derby.

 

I fear that if we fail to get promotion but win a pizza trophy, boy blunder would see the season as a huge success,,,

 

I am not doing an mdt duffens!! Fact

 

We're 3rd on points/game played, having lost more games than 5 of the top 9 teams.
Not the most consistent.

The derby between Palmeiras and Santos is known as "Clássico da Saudade" (Nostalgia Derby).

Palmeiras was founded in the early 1900's and was originally called Palestra, which is Greek for gymnasium.

It was formed as a club for Italian Brazilians.

The original stadium, Estádio Palestra Itália, was the first in Brazil to have concrete grandstand and barb wire fences.
They were forced to change their name when it became illegal to have a name that had any links to an axis power, so they became Palmeiras – born to be champions.

They play in Sao Paulo, which is the largest City in Brazil, and one of the top five largest Cities on Earth.

Sao Paulo is the largest Japanese, Lebanese and Italian city outside their home countries, and is home to the largest number of Japanese people outside of Asia and has the only Sumo gym outside of Japan.

São Paulo has within its city limits an indigenous reservation of the Guarani tribe. Approximately 900 members of the tribe live in a 532-hectare region known as the Pico do Jaragua, in the Northern region of the city. In 2015 the Federal Government declared the area as a new indigenous reserve, recognizing it as traditional tribal lands.

Over 720 pizzas are made every minute in Sao Paulo.

The city of São Paulo has the largest helicopter fleet in the world.

Santos play in the Vila Belmiro, a bairro in the city of Santos, which is a municipality in the State of Sao Pualo.

Nicknamed Peixies after are well loved defender.

They are Pele's club.

They originally played in azure blue, gold and lemon, but due to difficulties in producing the colours, chose black and white instead.

 

They might lose them. I'd rather be top then have to play catch up

 

Apart from going up twice more and Michael Dawson lifting the trophy at Wembley again to an even greater prize of 200M, but yes the first one was the best.
Promotion from the 3rd division is a different context and its been 55 years since we did it as Champions so that's a fair wait and we can't let Lincoln have it can we?
