Piss off. If we're thinking of the same person, I agree. And I can't particularly claim to have a rule about younger guys. Still suspect he wouldn't have, mind.

Badoer!

Ouch. Mind, are you sure it wasn't at the Gatwick end? They're dodgy as anything.

"The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range.

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but he could easily become a Srnicek-style folk hero for us - prone to the odd glaring error but generally an all-round top bloke.

What's wrong Parky? When you really feel rock bottom and all is lost.....take pleasure in the simple things in life like a beautiful sunset or a gorgeous full moon and count your blessings. There's always someone worse off than yourself. Alternatively, order in a chinese and watch a top film!! I suppose that's the beauty of living near Hamburg's red light district. The convenience. The mistake he's made is living near the gay red light district. Get yourself down to Olympisches Feuer, get stuck into a gemischtes Souflaki mit Giros and get fucked on ouzo. This works.

The man needs advice, not directions from Trondheim to Trondheim Airport.

You can still get 12s on us to go down at Paddy Power (down from 20/1 a couple of weeks ago).

Aye, I remember this being mentioned over a few pages in the RIP thread and it's a cracking idea, whichever form it ultimately ends up taking.

Bit harsh on himself, the lad.

I've got that on video and was going to put it on DVD at some point. Might not bother now like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ht6R1kP5xc#t=4m53s Still one of our greatest footballing moments.

The Beeb again. Today's headline reads: House prices 'to recover slowly'. But then the first paragraph reads: "House prices in England will fall this year and next before recovering, the National Housing Federation forecasts." So not so much a slow recovery as... a continued and protracted slump for at least the next 18 months, then? I'd seriously love to know what the BBC's vested interest is in making things seem rosier than they actually are.

"Planning"

Aye, I wasn't sure it really belonged in this thread.

The nearest thing I've seen to a "joke" so far is a b3ta image of a young Bobby in his playing days preparing to take a corner, but doctored so that he's kicking a bucket rather than a ball. I won't post it here, partly out of respect and partly because it's not really all that funny, but in a strange way it says a lot that even the traditional sick humour bastions of the internet haven't come up with anything "better".

a p birthday

I've got the 02/03 and 03/04 season reviews and the Just Call Me Bobby DVDs if you want a lend. Come and help me shift them to the new flat next weekend and they're yours.

This thread is so full of win I might burst.

Lovely.

raylor saylor Jackie Milburn, Emperor Hirohito, the Cerne Abbas Giant. This game is fun!

I realise many of you are stuck at work until whenever you can get away, but I'm raising a glass now and to hell with the consequences, and I'm sure you'll do the same later on. Bobby himself was such a selfless man that he wouldn't have wanted people to dwell on the sad side of his passing, so let's celebrate a life incredibly well lived and give him a hell of a send-off.

good one WBA Fulham Ipswich and us. I'd rather it was between Barca, Sporting, PSV and us, opposed to the teams we will play sometime in the next two seasons (and maybe last.) Still in shock, condolences to his family. If it's an annual thing, there's no reason it can't rotate between four of the teams he was involved with each year. Keeps it fresh too.
