Well I was sent into exile some 14 years ago. Is the Badminton still open down the Sandfileds had a cracking night out down there playing pool, intimidation of the highest order but great fun.
It's still open. I used to live in the same street....it's a bit like that pub in 'Boys from the Blackstuff', on a good night at least!
Excellent thats cheered me up. Played pool there this one night and said to one of the lads which window are you leaving by. Then another lad said to me (with a wood saw in hand) as I was about to pot the black he would cut me up with it, I lined the shoot up looked at him and promptly potted it and both pissed ourselves laughing. Brilliant craic they were.
yeah, excellent laugh they are in there I was, ever so briefly, banned from there....some big twat took exception to my presence one night (before I lived there, was on a pub crawl) and decided he wanted some....he was completely steaming...he starts to come over, I cross the pub to twat him and the landlord and some regulars leap up and shove me out the door (closely followed by some mates)....turns out that the big twat was the landlord's son Always a good craic in there, full every weekend as well....used to go to sleep to the sound of the whole pub singing along to the juke box...."Sweet Caroline! Da Da Daaaa!" Miss the Sandfields if I'm honest, a lot of good people down there.
Laudrups calm, cool exterior has been criticised by those who read too much into dugout behaviour, but having experienced similar problems in his last appointment with Spanish club Mallorca, the limitations of his managerial acumen become apparent in their consistency. But while his eventual departure came in February, Laudrup was rumoured to be heading for the exit door back last summer when a row between his agent, Bayram Tutumlu, and Swansea City Chairman, Huw Jenkins, caused an irreparable split between the very two people that Laudrup would need to professionally confide in the most. More recently, as results dipped miserably, a training ground spat between defenders Garry Monk and Chico Flores served only to support the rumour of a growing split between the foreign and home-grown players in the squad. Laudrup shrugged away suggestions of discontent within his squad with his familiar raised-shoulder reaction, an action that would be increasingly repeated as the press conference questions became more and more difficult with each passing defeat. In addition, the loan departure of Ki Sung-Yueng to relegation-rivals Sunderland became all the more bizarre when he failed to recall him in the January transfer window, despite the midfielder becoming an inspirational figure for one of their relegation rivals Laudrup can look back at his time at Swansea City with pride in what he achieved in his first season, but equally with regret over the unfinished elements of domestic and European cup business that he leaves behind..................
Mallorca May 23, 2011 It’s mystifying how Mallorca managed to end up in such a state – they were in the top half of the table with five games to go, but an end-of-season collapse meant they almost ended up relegated. Like Tigana, Laudrup showed an ability to compete with the big sides, as Mallorca drew with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and beat Valencia, but there were also heavy defeats and Mallorca rarely showed the attacking football Laudrup had promised? Michael Laudrup is the Gary Megson of Spanish football, how does he continue to get work?
1. the helicopter 'when a man takes off his clothes and begins thrusting his hips in such a way that his member begins to "swing" in circles like that of helicopter blades.' e.g. "I thought it would really turn her on if I were to do the helicopter, but it only resulted in alot of laughing on her part."
Phillip will be "doing the helicopter" next in a desperate bid for some attention....Laudrup's is bigger though of course.
"It would be a big call for Swansea to dismiss their manager for the first time in ten years" -EP "Swansea have been one of the worst sides in the league though IMO. Look totally lifeless, no energy, no vigour, and seem to have no real plan other than pointless passing at the back. I think Laudrup did this in his last job - started off really well before pretty much falling off a cliff." - www.est1892.co.uk "Yep, they need to get rid of him, he's destroying the good work previous managers have done. Averaging one point per game this season is horrendous given what he took over and the money spent." - www.est1892.co.uk "Laudrup is a strange one, he was lauded last season and it appeared there were a few bigger clubs interested in taking him on but since they won the LC Swansea have been bloody awful!" - www.est1892.co.uk "Wise move. Not even Viagra could have injected some life into Swansea had Laudrup kept his job" - www.est1892.co.uk ....................
Cop out. He wanted a Champions League club, except nobody but a nothing club from the Middle East came in for him.
