"several sherries".....did you get married in 1967?....

No banning order for you then.....they've changed the face of England's support more than anything...they don't get everyone though, lad I know from Poole was deported from Sweden 92 and France 98, he's in Thailand at the moment with all the other "retired" hooligans in Pattaya, and he's still got tickets from whatever has replaced the England travel club for all three group games in France next month

Was the England cricket team's "barmy army" tosspots a thing back then?.....I think England's support in general over the years has gone a bit like that, in lots of ways it's a good thing. Depends how much you respect Stevie and his mates chucking plastic chairs at the police in Charleroi in 2000 then getting scuttled by water canon on News at Ten

Hogdson another daft fucker who's learned nowt from previous failures....don't take barely fit players ffs...

The lack of self awareness is priceless I actually don't give a rats arse about them coming on here, lots of our lot would be doing the same if the situation was reversed, but coming on here screaming "YOUSE DONT MATTER TO ANYONE, LEAST OF ALL US, FTM!!" a fortnight after we went down is a bit too ironic to say the least

Pilger, always worth a read... https://newmatilda.com/2016/03/23/john-pilger-why-hillary-clinton-is-more-dangerous-than-donald-trump/

I heard that at high school 30 odd years ago

Fuck off ya six fingered sister fucker

It's fair to say our crowd doubled from the early 90s, theirs fuckin tripled, but we think "football was invented in 1992 FTM"

You didn't answer your bell?

Fuckin "domestic situation/happiness wars" posted on a windows vista laptop via a frankly useless dongle, in the back of a Toyota Hiace camper van, from Caloundra, SE Queensland, en route to visit @ toontl

I like that, and am also tempted by Troy Deeney...experience at this level, goals, leadership..and I wouldn't complain if he brought his mate Ikechi Anya with him...a bit of ability and huge energy...things are in flux at the Vic so they (and others) may consider a step down...

Aye, in a football world where Leicester City have just won the league title even Rafa guarantees nothing...but he is the next best thing

According to this his family had more of a say in his decision than even we may have expected, which also reflects incredibly well on our support in general http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/rafa-benitez-how-a-champions-league-winning-manager-was-convinced-to-stay-with-newcastle-united-a7048451.html

Drummed out of Liverpool for being shit years before they won the champions league, in favour of erm "world class" talents like Igor Biscan and Jimi Traore, his best offers for the next decade were from Charlton and fuckin Fulham ...as Tom said so fuckin what if he was assessing his options? No one expected him in March and no one expected him to sign after relegation..outside the usual suspects and Leicester there's no one in the premier league I'd swap places with right now, least of all the mackems. They won't be out the bottom five all season and they'll still be eating fat Sams shit sandwiches every week, only without the only two games that really matter to them.

Guilty as charged

Good bit by Al Murray from the guardian abuot BK...always liked him, don't know what this says about me but when he started doing last of the summer wine I started watching it He was also pretty terrifying as the Commandant in Tenko.. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/24/burt-kwouk-harry-hill-pink-panther?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Is this like getting beat in the play offs by the tramps in 1990?.....we had to suffer for nearly two seasons after that but without that 18 months there'd have been no SJH,KK, promotion and the rest, this is different but there are similarities....being kicked in the bollocks by the mackems can be good for you

Is that when the court order runs out?

An appraisal of the Lion of Gosforth from F365.... I've abused him in the past for him thinking he was bigger than the club, and I do partly stand by that, but when you see all the stats in this piece laid out, he was a fuckin phenomenal footballer.. http://www.football365.com/news/portrait-of-an-icon-alan-shearer

Ps...don't let Fish's jibes get you down mate, bit out of the blue that one like...

Umm.....that's a bit tricky...if you're as unprincipled as him though probably not....

Fuck me, it's an even more bizarre essembee

Mourihno v Pep in the same city. Tasty, but I can't help thinking that neither of them suit their new clubs....you'd think Manu would want someone less of a cunt than LVG....so they appoint just about the only one bigger, and the citeh of Paul Dickov and Geoff Whitley appointing the worlds best(?) 17 years after they were in divi 3...is that more of a shock than us appointing Rafa??
