It's not down to Elvis is it?

Not a lot.

 

I was in a bar in Manchester last night and ordered a Bacardi and Coke for my wife. When she took a sip of it she said there was no Bacardi in it. Took the glass back to the bar and said to the barman, I asked for a Bacardi and Coke. He said sorry sir I misheard you and thought you asked for a Coke. He poured a Bacardi and said that was my mistake sir, have the Bacardi on the house.

There you go Spurf. Manchester, nice city with nice well mannered people.

 

Suit tie and freshly shaved OS?

 

As always Spurf, and on this occasion enhanced by the great smell of Brut.

 

No, that will be the smell of the "Bacardi" you thought you got "on the house" .

 

If only there were photos of Liverpool being relegated to the second tier in 1954, or for that matter the eight seasons they remained there...

 

Last time I went to Liverpool I took the car. Somehow got stuck in a bloody tunnel.Thought I was on my way to County Cork instead of cheshunt! Begorrah!

 

Interesting piece on the Grauniad site today that confirms my earlier thoughts about the root cause of the corruption in the game, and who is ultimately responsible for it.

Football insiders claim world game is ‘endemically corrupt’ in player transfers

The most interesting part is the FA's role in all of this. In April 2015 Fifa devolved power over regulation of agents to individual associations, and the article claims that this is what then happened;

A proper investigative journalist, as opposed to a Telegraph hack who thinks that stitching up greedy idiots like Allardyce is the real story, would now be demanding that the FA answer a few questions here, like (1) Who exactly in the FA decided to do this? and (2) Why did they think that was a good idea?

Given that it's the FA then the answers are probably along the lines of "because we're buffoons" rather than anything more sinister, but the people who made those decisions still need to be held accountable. They're the ones that really need sacking.

 

Well said Bri....I hope you are spot on.

 

Were you is possession of a sausage?

 

That is a fairly obscure reference I would suggest.

Brilliant album though!

 

Yeah, but when am I next going to see someone posting about a Merseyside tunnel? You have to work with the materials supplied.

 

and did Max make their ears bleed?

 

You are awful........but I like you!

 

This from The Manchester Evening News:

Even more distressing is that City have allegedly lost their proud 82-year-old record for the highest home attendance in English football, though where Spurs conjured up an extra 50,000 fans from at Wembley is anybody’s guess.

Well, we didn't buy them with oil money, Gentlemen. It's remarkable how quickly journalists have been prepared to view Citeh as football royalty. FFS!, along with The Spammers, they have to advertise their tickets on TalkSport to fill their state-sponsored home stadium with 40,000 less capacity than Wembley

 

What the MEN conveniently forgets to mention is that, at one point, Old Trafford had a capacity of 95,000 - yet their record attendance is 76,926

Or to put it another way, Man Utd's record attendance was 18,074 short of capacity - which is about the average for Villa Park these days...

 

I guess the Citeh ads go : our kid for a quid.

 

So our friends at The Sun have called for a Two Minutes Hate against Gary Lineker...
