  1. Alex Matthie unintentional screamer iirc? Didnt Malcolm Allen bag in that game as well? lol. The scoreline flattered a bit (Chris Waddle ran the show for a spell) but it really did feel fucking amazing that win. Aye. Three goals in the last 10 minutes or something to come from behind. I thought Malcolm Allen was mint. Supersub
  2. Any fan that complains about an opposition player wants their head read. Any player that complains about the crowd being on their back wants to quit the game. I made the point in the other thread about being stunned at the 4-0 Wimbledon game in '93. That's the kind of bile and vitriol I WANT to see at a match.
  3. I'm crap with dates and that, so I had to look it up. First match was 29/08/1993 vs Blackburn (yes I'm a Keegan bandwagoner). I remember Cole bundling it in by the post to put us ahead, and Shearer equalising and running to the away fans arm aloft. I was 14 and only just allowed to go with my brother after the couple of years he's been going with his mates. But he was really ill on the day so I just went up with his (17 and 18 year old) mates that I hardly new. I still sit with one of them. Other than the two vague memories above, there's also the memory of being slipped snide pints in the Farmers Rest. A couple of weeks before we'd drawn at Man U after a dodgy start to the season. Andy Cole got "switched off" by Barry Venison in a godawful suit on Match of the day. First live victory I saw was a few weeks later when we trounced Shef Wed in an evening kick-off. The other abiding memory from that season is watching us trounce Wimbledon and being truly awestruck by the volume in St James' for the first time, but moreso by the vitriol thrown at the Wimbledon players.
  4. We were 11 points ahead at the top of the league and I couldn't handle the stick for following Man U.

    Germany's well into a resurgence what with the likes of Run Lola Run, Goodybe Lenin, Head-On, Downfall, Sophie Scholl, The Lives of Others, The Counterfeiters and Yella. Not heard of much from the Poles or the Czechs like, what's the craic there? I mention Romania after The Death of Mr Lazarescu, 12:08 East of Bucharest and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days have been getting a load of awards/acclaim.
  6. James Brown - I Want You So Bad
  7. Sounds like an excuse a whining fatty ballaty would make for not excercising.
  8. I once saw a really fat lass eating a Macdonalds in the street. It made me sick to my stomach. Do you all hate smokers just as much? Scratch that, daft question.
  9. Do those Brits that move to the Costa Del Sol make every effort to integrate and only ever speak their second language? Or do they just shout in louder English whenever translation is required?
  10. ...goes well with the nest in your hair. Zing!
  11. Panda Bear and Battles were the best albums of the year by some distance imo. Both outstanding. They weren't in fact but they were both good and Person Pitch in particular is excellent. I... M.... O....

    Will BBC1 'cave' and show My Beautiful Laundrette in the middle of the afternoon? ...right at the birth of the British new wave that was... You sure? More the tail end, Shirley. A Taste of Honey, This Sporting Life, Hard Days Night, Kes etc. led the way. Trying to think what's followed My Beautiful Laundrette. Queer as folk and East is East? ...the new new wave. When half our producers and dir moved to Hollywood. Films by Loach, Leigh, Jarman and Terence Davies were doing the rounds with good receptions in Europe etc... Well if that's your definition. I always thought the likes of Lindsay Anderson and Richard Lester (who also went to the US) were the pioneers of the British New Wave. EDIT: I missed the additional 'new' I wonder when the new new new wave is due. Sick of these Romanians hogging all the limelight.

  15. I presume the other film would be based on 'The Silmarilion' which tells the tales from a much earlier middle earth. Before Gollum had the ring when Isildur took it from the dark lord and should have destroyed it when he had the chance. Sorry!!! huge fan of all the books Apparently the first one will be The Hobbit and the second one will be between the Hobbit and LOTR.

  17. Must have got the dvd cash they were after then. Odd that he's not directing though.
  18. When work tell me there'll be a delivery in half an hour at half 4, then repeat it every half hour so I'm still sat here at half 6 getting told "there'll be a delivery in half an hour".
