Off Topic Bill Nicholson Arms

It's a Liverpool FC version of Luke's favourite rock band, The Ramones' logo.

Imagine the Spurs logo in red and you're somewhere near how much he hates that image.

 

Just a reminder that today's the day that bad **** happens. For example...

Every cloud and all that...

 

Condolences to Dublin on the loss of his sight.

 

Wonders of VAR.....

A penalty was awarded after players had already left the pitch for half-time in Mainz's Bundesliga win over relegation rivals Freiburg on Monday.

Sorry-just seen it was posted on the UEFA watch thread

 

Was this game reffed and lined by the Marx brothers?

 

Guido Winkmann certainly sounds like a vaudeville act, as well as a character The Simpsons will passive aggressively attempt to say isn't a racial stereotype...

 

Just watched an episode of DIY SOS - its a lifestyle prog where needy people have their homes renovated for free. Anyway this episode takes place in Welwyn Garden City and one of the main people in the crew is a bloke called Jimmy (a local boy there), during a close up of him I noticed that he had a Spurs badge on his lapel. Wondered if anyone else has seen this programme it quite a bit decent and there's a yiddo in it!

 

Find 16 mins and 4 seconds in your busy life to enjoy this. What a footballer. There was only one thing that he couldn't do....regularly get in the England team. No bloody wonder we've never looked like winning anything in 52 years.

 

.........and they said Pele was pretty good.......!

 

Pure genius

 

Cheers for posting that, Brian. Made my day!
Hope the current crop see that too and realise what true genius is.
Not knocking anyone, but watching that video made me think that Hoddle was more than the sum of Eriksen & Dele combined. And I have no doubt that he would have survived and flourished in the present days mega-fitness focused game.

The only downside? The dirty feeling of watching and lauding his skill when he was wearing a certain royal blue shirt......

 

World famous DJ Avicii has died aged just 28. Bloody awful news.

 

Not football but I needed a laugh....and got it. A 49 year old British Airways pilot arrested before he "took off"......because he was drunk!

Reminded me of a film I watched years ago called "Pilot" starring Cliff Robertson. He kept his booze on board and helped himself.He was a brilliant pilot when he'd had a few!!!!!......but finally a hostess gave him away and he got sacked. He would fly his airliner very low so his passengers could get a good view!

 

Who?

 

Not the sort of music I’m into, but I’d be amazed if you haven’t heard his music. There was a time a few years ago where you couldn’t go a day without hearing “wake me up” on the radio, in a shop, or on a TV advert. It was so over played.

 

He co-wrote and produced it and he's the DJ in the video. Song was everywhere for quite a while.
Sold loads and the video has nearly 1.5bn views.
Sounds like he drank himself to death, unfortunately.

 

Oh THAT one!!

Cheers lads........
Just read he was earning £180k a night DJ'ing.....that's a feckin' lot of beer vouchers!

 

Simply the best!

 

Our under 18’s have just humiliated and destroyed the Goons.

9-0!!....
