Mike Portillo, famous Spanish "striker"

Look at the photo of the footballer on this page.Strangley, he shares the same chrsitian and surname with a former minister in Thatchers cabinet.

Yes, fomer chairman of the family firm. And he's the former treasurer of the Consrvative Party as well. Is he also being accused of being a fuckin nonce?

That poor bloke comes across as a very credible witness...he's made the same complaint to police in the late 70s as well apparently but as a child he was ignored...I think whoever is still alive from those days and was involved will be sleeping very uneasily nowadays though.

Got 4 tickets for Friday at Finsbury Park yesterday Looks like theres still some left as well... https://nme.seetickets.com/Purchase/Index

Good man Davey, its going to be a fuckin belter...rumours of attendance by some of our old friends..saw this being waved at the dark place a couple of weeks back...shite photo, but you my just make out the flag with a certain Dutch club's crest on it...

You still going regardless?...CT seems to have changed his mind on that one, which is a shame for the lad as he's missing out on the land of beer and chips

Aye, DSG. I worked on a lot of the superstores they built in the 90s. Very hard customer to satisfy, theyd come in and say on a Friday afternoon that the plans had changed and we'd have to complete a certain task before Monday, no questions asked. So we'd have to work the weekend, regardless of plans made as theyd kick our comapny off the preferred contractors list if we didnt play ball. Changed days now, theyre shutting the superstores that dont make money or merging them with PC World stores.

Welcome back, they've let you out of hospital again? Will Aeris be along soon?

Tkts for next summers gigs on sale tommorow @ 0930......any tips on how to be in with at least in with a chance of getting fixed up via phone or online? there's 3 ticket outlets, signed up with them all, so open a window for all of them? 2 phones ringing through as well?...how early is it worth logging on?....usually avoid big "event" gigs like this, usually because of bollocks like this, but they were sooooooo good at V fest I can't keep away....

Theres a black bloke stood no more than 3 rows behind him and his mates...what the fuck must he have thought?

Dont know which one of the Eurpean Cups it was when Thompson was captain, but he took the trophy and threw it in the back his Jag, took it to his local in Kirkby so all his mates could have their photo took with it Apparently he had a hardware shop there as well....two brothers in my old sunday morning team, their parents are from Kirkby and knew his family well. Still speak fondly of the fuckin gobshite him

Its Phil Thommo at the 74 cup final...just after being showered with love by the United faithful; not sure if it would happen now

They were all brilliant mate, not a duff player in the squad iirc. Steve McMahon was a horrible,dirty bastard but was also a very good footballer. Gary Gillespie was class, theres loads of them that rarely get mentioned who were top players. Theres a game v a good Forest side around 88, migh have been in the cup, Lfc won 5-1 or something and Beardsley's just fuckin toying with them. He played one of the best scoring passes I've evre seen in that game. Fair chance of it all being on youtube..

from fuckin right back I think a lot of that side were/are underrated though...Ray Houghton was a fuckin great player iyam.

If we're taking you as your average Lfc fan though, it looks like you're willing to give managers a lot more time than Fenway are. So if they sack Rodgers at christmas, its another poor appointment by them, because whichever way you dress it up so was Dalglish iyam. If he was sacked for poor results, then what they were doing appointing a manager as inexperianced as Rodgers is beyond me. And getting knocked out of the cup you won last season at home by his former side looks an appalling result, regardless of the circumstances i.e. the team Rodgers put out etc. Theyre having you lot over mate.

Fair enough, but if Fenway wanted a manager with a track record of getting teams out of the second divison, which is all Rodgers had done tbf, they couldve appointed Neil Warnock. If Rodgers is struggling, its because he's not experianced enough to know how to handle the job. if you ask me, youve got another bunch of yanks pulling your collective pissers.

I'd like to know who they thought shouldve replaced Dalglish?...and would they agree that, in view of Fenway Sports employment of Billy Beane at Boston Red Sox and the whole "Monyball" thing that brings with it, the perfect appointment for them would have been our own Alan Pardew, as thats the very system he's been working under at NUFC.

the last few posts in this thread are painting some vivid images....

This will cheer our scouse mate up....we got twatted, but our support here at the end is unreal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QaiR5EwLIg&feature=endscreen

Fanks! I tried to find a piccie of John Thompson with his Arsenal top on from The Fast Show a few years back....."Pringle?"....

2027: BBC Sport's Chris Osbourne at Carrow Road: "A chorus of "one Chrissy Hughton" goes up. Except it's from the fans of his former club Tottenham, rather than the team he currently manages, Norwich. Quite odd." Would Barry Davies or Motty find that "odd"?...who the fuck do the beeb send to these games nowadays?...

Classic "early adopter" behaviour.....not a lot changes CT

Hoying fireworks at each other at Stamford Bridge?....did the ref take the players off? 35 min: The ref orders a short break in play for reasons that Sky do not want to tell us about: the fact that some stewards at the United end are looking quite agitated suggests there may be some manner of mayhem afoot ... in fact, there are now claims on twitter that fireworks were thrown. Let's hope nothing more sinister develops.

A picture in our bathroom jumped off the wall and smashed on to my sisters head when we were kids....we rushed in after hearing the scream and mum picked what was left of the frame and the cord which hung it on its hook was observed by the whole family to be unbroken We moved into the house in 1980, and this was the culmination of a bit of a campaign....water running in the middle of the night when all of us were in bed, the latched door (its an old cottage) to the lounge swinging open randomly, things going missing then reappearing again months later...it was all slightly amusing as I remember it, although the picture thing freaked my old dear and my sister out a bit to say the least. The funny thing is it all calmed down for over a decade...then, when the first granchild appeared it fuckin all started again! Mum was looking after them when their parents were at work and was hearing all sorts of stuff banging and crashing about...then as those kids got older it calmed down again....apart from when we were all sat there on New Years Eve a few years back when at 11-15pm the latch lifted up once again and the lounge door swung wide open, blowing a blast of freezing air into the room...... The thing is, my old man can remember the old woman who lived there when he was a kid...mad as a bag of ferrets, she'd been jilted at the altar in the 20s and seemed to be some sort of reclusive Miss Haversham type figure....a few years back he thought my old dear was behind him in the bedroom as he sat on the edge of the bed putting his shoes on...he looked into the dressing table mirror expecting to see his wife of 40+ plus years stood behind him but all he saw was a little bent figure in a red shawl diasapperaing into the wall behind him.....!
