Match Day Thread vs Spurs (A)

[Super G Ted'inho]

Seen both the vids now mate, Sakho heads the ball well, Can does nothing any other Premiership midfielder does on a regular basis. Still see nothing special about either of them.

TBH, I'd agree with that. Neither are stand-out world class or PL superstars but they both are very good players that do what is expected of them, they do what they're paid to do. Can is still only 21 though and Sakho isn't exactly old at 25.

 

[UnitedinRed]

Well if you managed to get pissed and come back with change after going out with just a tenner, you're either really old and therefore things were a lot cheaper back then or you're a bloody lightweight

I'm thirty-four and I can recall doing twenty quid specials (about ten tequila's in a line and a bottle for after) a few times but I wouldn't say I ever came home pissed.

Quid's in for is meant any drink for a quid, £1.20 for doubles. 9 pints later and you would be feeling it, then there's people buying each other drinks because its a ****ing quid, why the hell not.

Had some great Thursday nights out, lost the odd job or two because of them . Granted often spent more than a tenner if end up going down Wigan or something but still, you could have a good night on a tenner and come home with change.

I actually think Can could become a very good player and will reserve judgement on Sakho, as I had completely written Smalling off until the second half of last season.
I just get a bit pissed by people bigging players up on very little evidence

 

[UnitedinRed]

Anyway Gerrerz, at 34 you should just about remember the rave culture. You could practically go out every day of the week then. And the nmw was like £100. Drinks were far cheaper too.

I assume you're talking Thursday then? The twenty quid special were a Saturday night.

We used to have a bar that charged £10 entry and your drinks were then free of charge. Problem was, it was a dive so after a couple you'd move on. Plus, who stays in one pub all night?

there as been evidence that Sakho is a very good player but we've also seen the odd game here and there when he's looked like bambi on ice. The good far outweighs the bad though.

NMW...?

I can remember raves but they were just before my time. I couldn't go out until I turned 18 either as I looked about twelve and couldn't get in anywhere Annoyingly for me, photo ID kicked in when I was about 15 or 16 too

Yeh agree, I'd say that was the scene about 20 yrs ago for me.

There were a few Quid's in places. A couple had nightclubs attached which were free on a Thursday and continued the quid offer. You would easy get 500-1000 in and I'm talking small towns in Lancashire.

Now if there's 100 people out on a Thursday night, that's busy...

In Accrington of all places, a fairly major dance record label player there every week. Clubland, same ones who bring out those albums.

Today's nightlfe is awful.

Can't say I've ever heard of "qui'd in" tbh, must be another thing before my time

Very rare I go out nowadays, not been out on anything other than a Saturday for at least ten years now.

 

[Milk not bear jizz]

Like hair... and salads...

You're a little older than me, at 15 I went to Monroes near Blackburn. That's was my first ever night out. No alcohol, this place only served water... Yeh, you can imagine the place...

I could buy alcohol, in school uniform... Nobody gave a **** around here

Used to go out round Wigan, Burnley, Blackburn, Bolton, Skipton etc from then on.

Wherever you are must have cracked down on it before my local area.

You're older than me.

How long have you been married, and how big is the thumb

Just had a quick google and I don't think there was one around here, probably why I've no idea what you're talking about

The nightclubs around here usually offered drinks at a pound or thereabouts on a Thursday anyway.

I'm not married

Even then, I'm taking 10-15 years ago, Treble is talking about a time when Carl Cox played weekly in Burnley, ****ing Burnley, and people traveled by a coach load to events 100s of miles away on a Tuesday night.

You from Liverpool? Been there once when I was a teenager to the Pleasure Rooms, terrifying night but yeh, might have been after your time, gramps.

No, Mansfield. The home of one of the first ever nightclubs, it may even have been the first. annoyingly, the name of it escapes me and I can't find it on google

Must be ancient if its one of the first. I know of night clubs dating back to the 70s, in terms of a real night club, not a disco.

Yeah, I was talking late night nightclubs as we know them now. It may have just been the first in Mansfield but I'm sure I recall being told people were coming from other areas to visit. My work mate (41yrs old) was there on opening night.

I know clubs have been around a lot longer. The Palais in Mansfield (closed about ten years ago now) was there when my old man was a lad for example. He's 60 now.

 

[Super G Ted'inho]

Really annoying me that I can't recall its name.

Searching google for it is stupid, just keeps coming up with Jayne Mansfield ****
