Torino means little Bull.

Torino play in Turin, which is an industrial City located where the Po flows north.

Turin was the first capital of a unified Italy.

It was flattened by Hannibal and then the luftwaffe.

The 'slow food' movement was started in Bra, Turin.

Turin is the birthplace of solid chocolate.

It's got a famous image of Robert Powell on an old sheet.

They make Fiat's.

Gran Torino is the only movie where Clint Eastwood dies.

Clint Eastwood's dog is in the film.
 
I downloaded that ages ago but still haven't watched it as I struggle with foreign language films.
 
Bloody hell, what about the line up?
I'll remind you that when I was named leading the line against...whatever they were called...we won 3-1
THAT is all !
Obviously same team. A penalty was scored and I said I never miss em so...
Then again I might just drop Happy, keep him on his toes. Bring plt in. Bit of rivalry never hurts.

We have had a pretty good pre-season on the field, so let's keep the run going. All the other crap with the Allams needs to be put into context today. Whatever we have gone through supporting Hull City, the earlier or even the oldest Torino fans of today mark the year of 1949 with quiet reverence because of an utterlly sad moment in their history.

A Fiat G-212 plane carrying the entire Torino team and contingent crashed in fog and driving rain into the wall at the back an 18th century basilica in Superga. All on board perished. At the time Torino were 4 points clear at the top of Serie A and had been the dominant team in the imnediate post-war period in Italy.
An excelkent report of this is in John Foot's 'Calcio: a History of Italian Football.'

Christ
I'll admit to not knowing that
Thanks for the info
 
**** you.

I'm putting in a transfer request.

A huge club like the mighty Toon will show me the respect I deserve and give me the success I deserve.
Hold on a mo. I rescued you from the ressies at Scunthorpe. You're nothing without us.
You're not even on the bench for this.
Go train with the stiffs, like kempton and sterling. You'll be sorry.

An apology in front of the full team and buy Dennis's beer for the night and we'll say no more about it.

There's no way on god's green earth would I ever earn enough to pay for Den's beers for the night.

What's my buyout clause?

The fog on the tyne's all mine all mine!
