There were a few quirky sayings that just caught on - 'that London'.and 'discus' are two I can remember.
https://www.ja606.co.uk/comments/viewAllComments/53634 Robbing hoody is still on ja606 and mentions it in 2011 It must predate not606 and ja606. They also mention tobes/lettuce on this thread.
It definitely predates both of those because I just posted that I found old 606 comments with people mentioning it.
I found the bbc announcement for closing 606 and found it in the comments, well a title for it at least, as per with the BBC thr comment itself got deleted. It was someone who made an assumption of themselves as a wum amd got laughed at for making a typo.
Nice. The team is imo improving If we just look down the rulez list Is he fast? yes Is he tall? yes (central player) Is he the right age profile? Yes. Is he a ****? No idea yet. I mean honestly he fits the bill nicely. He looks rapid. He looks skillful. He looks like he can look after himself somewhat. He is young enough to improve and have resale value. The fee is decent (they are all very expensive) I think there is a basis now to look forward to the next year's where salah is wheeled out to pasture with confidence
Owen Beck to derby on loan. Club see him as a cash cow asset and are trying to get a contract signed to tie his value down before letting him loose again.
Ok, I was wrong about that - just shows how fallible memory is. I was fairly sure it was on here because I remember it, and I wasn't on the Beeb site long before it closed. It seems odd now, but until 2010 we only had dial-up internet round here and I never really contributed to any social media because it was a pain. I lurked on 606 for a while so I might have read it then. When we finally got broadband I started to join in and they promptly announced its impending demise.
I know what you mean about memory. It can play tricks on you. Do you remember the Liverpool poster on the BBC called ContraryToBelief? He changed his name and added - an shambles to his existing name. People have used the phrase on here over the years though, so you are right about that.
I don't remember that poster tbh. I've used the phrase many times myself, and I remember its origin as a typo that we rather ruthlessly exploited, which is why I was convinced it started here. I thought it started with someone who was known for constant rants (not wishi). I did a search on here (yeah, I was bored), but there were too many entries to go through (not that bored)
Isak pictured training on his own. Something is definitely going on there. Can't see him being sold to the Saudi league, he surely wants to win some trophies before essentially retiring. Are there any other clubs linked with him other than us? Great player that he is, his injury record concerns me and the fact that he maybe isn't up for playing more than one game a week.
