Trolling through the archives is absolutely HILARIOUS! I have just found an absolute Hum-Dinger here lads! The really funny ones are around the time we were promoted from the championship, the binners and co really did not see what was coming at that time and some of the stements are hilarious! Take this one from our very own LancashireYorkshireHampshireOsborneOneNilLondoner Taken from a thread "Budgies, face facts, the truth!!!" (LOL), links here for reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/F18931752?thread=7793567&show=50 Now, dredging up the past is somewhat unfair, I reckon there is an absolute TON of stupid **** i've said on forums over the years but you can't beat this for hindsiight, crikey! When Jarrold canary stepped up to defend Norwich as they sat just slightly higher than Ipswich in the table he pointed to a number of points he believed we were better than Ipswich at "we are above you in so many ways better team better manager better ground better city (oh sorry you are not big enough to be a city and no catherdral)" The response, possibly changed footballing history... ...wow
Cheers mate I've just found one of my best (if I say so myself !), It was probably 'that moment' when I really believed we were going to get promoted. I believe there was even a link to this article on the BBC NCFC homepage. (Head swells with pride ) http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A80736906
Excellent stuff remember a lot of the predictions some people on this site made back then? Some people are going to look like mugs unless they retract certain statements they've made in the past, but they were mugs anyway in the first place.
I don't know if anyone remembers Paul Ost? He was an overweight campaigner for the community stadium in Colchester I stumbled across him by chance and made the connection to Paulos name (Paul O) The thing caught like wildfire and any wum post he made He got shot down as Paul Ost lol.
Love the old 606 comments, some real corkers out there. I set up a thread for us to post any we find a couple of weeks ago, so if you find a new one: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/112032-Some-pearls-of-wisdom
Can't find the original Paul Ost Video re Weston Homes Stadium, but this is the same guy: [video=youtube;C9Lu4FlV6_o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Lu4FlV6_o[/video]
[video=youtube;OfH_IymNGEw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfH_IymNGEw[/video] at 3.05, the imfamous Paul Ost, was he Paulo? We shall never know...
Well, he certainly didn't like it if we commented on one of his P Ost 's. Whatever, at least he can say things have worked out well for Col who...
Poor old bastards, wish they'd visit more often. If your reading this Mike/Paulo (may even have been the same person) drop on by, we love you. And leave a prediction if you don't mind, they always come up trumps!

Remember when we had 'Batman' running all over other teams boards posting garbage and posing as a City fan? He admitted to being a Col U supporter, so I said next time they had a home game on the telly, I'd look out for him. I asked 'are you the one in the hat, or the one sitting down?'... the mods didn't think it was funny. Always had a sneaky feeling that might have been Paolo.
Yeah I remember him, lots of bullshittery and sock-accounts from the ColU fans. Not a tactic we've ever really deployed. We're just that little bit classier I guess
Even Monarch who, to be fair did try to be sensible at times, has gone for a long siesta by his pool. Going back to the original point of this thread it has to said that despite its faults the old 606 did have a far wider audience. Our Board is quite well supported but the Boards for a lot of clubs are ghost towns. You mention Col U but look at most of the boards of lower league clubs including the Championship. I have a family connection with Coventry and often used to go on there with 606 as it was well used but look at it now. 12 yards and snakepit are virtually dead so where has everyone gone?
Just had a quick check - no posts on the boards of 42 league clubs in the last week including a couple of Premiership clubs. Where has everybody gone?
Batman was probably Paulo / hth And there were various fake city fans Claiming to be from Wroxham or similar, fleckies mullet I remember Comedy genius
I loved all that Paul Ost banter mate, absolutely brilliant banter that was Just found this one that I must have been at the end of my tether to post that the mods deleted - can't think why though? Subject: Has the Snake Pit improved 606? Posting: Just had three mails from the mods telling em they deleted my posts from yesterday questioning the validity of Ernst despite there being ABSOLUTELY NOTHING inflammatory within them at all and him clearly being a liar. That's why I am on the verge of giving up this forum for good, it really has become S H I T E thanks to the mods who are clearly a load of absolute A R S E H O L E S No doubt this will be gone within minutes, but it made me feel better anyway. Heck, while I'm here F U C K O F F M O D S A N D K I S S M Y A R S E ! ! ! ! It's been nice knowing you, see you on the Snake Pit - a proper forum moderated by proper men
comment by LancashireYorkshireHampshireOsborneOneNilLondoner (U13835527) posted Oct 2, 2010 better team - we'll see at the end of the season better manager - no chance. Keano was a World Class player and he's starting to prove he's a World Class manager too. better ground - that's why when Chelsea played some minnow in the Champions League a few weeks ago the commentator likened their tiny dump of a ground to Carrow Road! better city (oh sorry you are not big enough to be a city and no catherdral) - who cares if we have a cathedral? We have trophies in our cabinet! This is so funny I think I will add it as my footnote so we can all have a laugh at it regularly!
