Mandate my ass

Cheers SB.

Yes. Current oil price not cheering me up either!

Have not posted on here for ages. Am working in Kazakhstan. Always good to read all your thoughts on all manner of things, really good posts from all. I reckon I get a better handle on how things are at home from reading this forum than watching the news concerning COVID-19. Things turning...

Yes got it now. Thanks.

I thought same when I first looked. Thought this was the view from the small bridge next to the Bridge house pub. But then bridge at other end of canal does not look like the cream coloured bridge that took you from the Warwick estate to Shirlsnd Road. Confused.

I do. Ipswich bought him in 67/68 to help with their promotion drive. Think we tried to get him but missed out. So we got Frank Clarke in ( brothers were Allan who was the first £150,000 player - that’s transfer fee not weekly wage! and Wayne). Both teams went up. My dad rated O’Rourke at...

I was there too. Went with a mate and stood behind the goal where we scored. From that point on some nutcase next to us kept offering Givens out evertyime we attacked. Givens gave a bit back at corners. Highlights do make us look good, but we miles better than them. What is so good about the...

I'll get me coat

Check out the church where the assasins of Heydrich were holed up after they were given away. It is a true story and you can go into the crypt where they have details about what happened. A book was written about it HhHh they got made into a film, maybe called Andropoid, I think. The castle is...

I was there that night too Beth. Rodney destroyed Jack Charlton and I remember Big Jack just struggling his shoulders at,the bench as if to say 'what can i do? Rangers slaughtered them and I do remember reading an article by Don Revie a few years later where he described that game as the most...

This was my first game too. We won 4-0. My dad took me. We were in the Loft and he put me near the barrier on the elevated bit of terrace behind the floodlight nearest the South Africa Road side. Told me to watch the no 10 who was of course Rodney....and I too still have the programme.

165k we paid. Remember getting home from school and reading it in the Standard. He was not only a good attacking winger but used to work so hard tracking back. Fast forward many years later and was with the wife and boys at Butlins at Bognor Regis. Dave was running the football school for them...

Mackie was excellent today. This is his level. Holds the ball up well and use his strength well to get past players and also puts himself about. How did he not get booked today? I think he made about 5 fouls in the first 20 minutes! He was the difference though and his enthusiasm and experience...

What we need is a manager who can get us through the qualifiers; i.e. one who can negotiate the a random selection of weak teams who have fallen out of the FSU and Yugoslavia over a two year period. I actually think my mother could probably do this.......and then a manager to run the team at the...
