Read the breakdown of survivor/death rates by ticket class the other day. Surprise, surprise most of the rich got to the lifeboats and most of the steerage died.

I've never read Fever Pitch but have enjoyed his other books. The reason I refused to read that one is I found out that when he went to Cambridge University he gave up watching Arsenal as it was too far to travel so I thought I'm just not going empathise with him as a football fan.

I think its Jackie Milburns autobiography where he mentions how seriously Leeds took it at around that time - they were the beaten by Upest in the semi and Revie was quoted as saying how they were going to hammer us in the final.

I don't really have a problem with them giving more weight to league titles - I know Stevie argued that fans used to put more emphasis on the cups which I'm not sure about but I think as we stand now looking back leagues do mean more. Of course the way they argue you would think that 6 was a lot more than 4 or that cups meant/mean absolutely nothing (and that's leaving asid the dismissal of the Fairs cup) in order to conclude that they have the better history - that's just taking an angle for their benefit far too far which is why I do find it full of shite. As I think I've said before the only place on earth which doesn't acknowledge that the Fairs cup was the forerunner of the UEFA cup is the SMB which really shows how small-minded they are.

Only two of them were in the twentieth century. (I know three of ours were very early but still.) Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2

Could yet benefit us - third choice keeper plays in semi and is the hero.

Worst pen ever.

Jesus wept on a bike as he passed Mary on a moped whilst being chased by Satan on a scooter! What possible justification could they give for not rescinding the red? Blindly standing by the idiots involved. Should have charged Young.

Hard drives are completely portable. Only thing to watch for is if It's an IDE one you'll need to set it to slave mode via the dip switch to mount it with a master. If you're putting onto a SATA setup then it should be okay anyway.

Just cleared out my garden shed which I hadn't entered for about 10 years. There are a couple of bowls filled with a sludge which I'm sure contain brand new lifeforms. Couple of trips to the dump planned for later.

I fucking love watching a Liverpool manager whinging about a penalty not given at Anfield - nearly 50 years of the red shirt rule (Anfield sub-paragraph) you absolute fucking cunt.

Watching Rodger's comment about the beautiful football they played late last night was a perfect end to the day. He said they just couldn't put the ball in the net - no you didn't create any chances.

Tiote off - shit

Thing is two of their key players - Dyer and Routledge - are shit which pretty much knackers them.

What the fuck is wrong with Rob Lee's mouth? has been to the dentist or something?

We need to play more like them when we do get it, otherwise we're okay.

Must admit I was there and would say I'm 95% sure I remember people booing. Yeah but what 5-10% of a 50k crowd? Its like his assertion that a few kids booing Shepherd at Shearer's testimonial means we all "deserve" Ashley.

I overheard two West Ham fans on the train last night who agreed they would be okay with staying down if it meant getting rid of him.

I think they will do that. It's changed because there are now 6 teams with much higher income than us instead of 1 or 2. In that context 5th was "unacceptable" to quote Shepherd but 6th now would be pretty good. It's that simple.

Because every fucking person on the planet apart from you recognises two completely differnt contexts of where the club is and how football has changed even since then. If you reply that it hasn't changed then you just confirm your idiocy.

If you don't mind a bit more technical info it will go for a bit more if it has component output - look for 3 round sockets on the back which are red, green and blue coded.

Plenty available on eBay. I bought one with a bigger HD for more recording last year and just used my existing card. All the buyer needs to do is phone them and pair the card with the box.

Even though I always thought the previous owners were cunts, I was happy to benefit from their actions (even though I still think it was two good managers rather than underlying competence). Like Stevie I'm starting to feel the same way about this lot. I think his point about it more being by luck than judgement is true but I also think Toonpack's point about people like Ashley never settling for failure is a factor as well. In 2012 I think our current position, competing with those above us, Liverpool, the mackems and Everton is about "right" given the various financial factors. The best way forward is steady progress under good management. Within that we'll have good seasons where we'll finish top 4 and bad ones where we'll finish ninth or tenth. Unless you do glory hunt then its just about what most fans want - pride in the team,a sniff of the cups, maybe a trip to Europe and a few games a year that make you think you're top of the world. It might be "unambitious" to an extent but I think moreover its realistic.

Which proves that despite the denials, his only real "solution" is to spend millions. Of course the irony of demanding the owner spends his money is breathtaking.

For me the handball finally evens out the Taylor one from Man City - so the scouse cunt and the sheep shagger can fuck right off.
