Goodbye, Lucille. RIP

Don't mind QPR, mainly for Sir Les. Seems like a lifetime ago when they finished as the top London in the top flight.

Or I was taking the piss.

Obertan's return to the first team at the start of the season was celebrated by football talent scout extraordinaire CT iirc

Fucking love that tune. Faith No More did a mint cover as well.

Think that's the fella

I quite like the tune but that's a load of bollocks too in terms of lyrics.

De Jong's comeback lasted a long time.

Haven't seen the drunk with wild eyed thousand yard stare kicking about Forest Hall for a while. Constantly both pissed and pissing his pants by the looks of him. You'd know him if you saw him.

Aye, it's not exactly relevant to my take on things either

(You have to laugh or you'd cry). Good post btw.

He'll talk a good game.

GSTQ is the UK's. None of the component parts of the UK have individual ones. At least I read that somewhere. Hence Flower of Scotland being used at the Commonwealth Games now for the sweaties when it used to be Scotland the Brave. I.e. you could theoretically sing what you want. Northern Ireland use Danny Boy at Commonwealth Games and God Save the Queen at football matches I think.

Longer format is for the people who understand the game.

Good how they've spelt assassinate with a mackem accent. Basically, he's pissed off because we've got a recognisable identity as a city, club, culture etc. whereas their whole raison d'être revolves around us.

England doesn't have an official national anthem [/trivia]

I'm more than happy to discuss cricket with people who know something about it.

Don't you mean they aren't mutually exclusive?

The Krankies. Talk about a strange relationship.

Did they do a song called Hooverville? Did an inferior cover of Harvest for the World too iirc (hard to top the original to be fair). Used to quite like them.

Promoting who though? There's hardly anyone else. Steve Stone and that's about it. I've heard Pedro isn't remotely interested in the job so I doubt he'd have said 'aye' to 3 games on a hiding to nowt. Stone probably has less respect than Carver.

Well Shteve McClaren was telling everyone who'd listen he turned us down. Assuming that's true, Ashley tried to removed Carver but ended up with little choice other than to stick with him for the time being.
