  1. Those who know, know. I decided it wouldn't look great quoted out of context.
  2. Either that or Steve was turned into dog food by the IRA.
  3. Yeah, alright Steve, we all know why you want us to know your nickname is Shergar
  4. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you **** off and leave me alone"
  5. Some of our performances under Wagner, regardless of kit, definitely came into this category. "Man, I've seen into the void. It's in the centre of the field between our defence and attack"
  6. As long as it does 'slam'. Can't abide a transfer window that is closed soundlessly and carefully.
  7. All anti-football snark aside, I agree with this, pretty much word-for-word. Wonder whether FtW and I will be able to stick to these good intentions if we have a poor season... 😉
  8. Oddly un-engaged so far. Perhaps it will be different when it starts. But remember finding the BBC's coverage really annoyingly jingoistic last time. Think it's got quite a lot worse since Team GB started throwing so much money at the Games. I enjoyed it more when we celebrated great athletic feats, regardless of where the athlete was from. Am looking forward to watching Simone Biles, though.
  9. Well, England have already clinched the series against WI, but I'm pretty confident that they can make it 3-0 in the game that starts tomorrow. Should beat SL comfortably too. I guess the interesting thing is whether they can develop the ruthlessness they'll need to be competitive against India and Australia next year. Should be fun finding out. Oh, the football? Nah, not yet
  10. Last home game: 2-3 vs Leeds last season, Gabby Sara wondergoal scored right in front of me Last away game: 3-2 vs Millwall the season before, Gabby Sara wondergoal scored right in front of me
  11. Dreadful news. Sending all good thoughts to you. OTBC
  12. Indeed it was. I went to the NCFC game with my dad. I was nine. Halfway through the afternoon my mum heard the fateful words on the radio, "and we're getting news of a fire at a football ground." Just like Hillsborough when we were in the other semi-final, that awful sense that it could have been you...
  13. Yeah, and then said tribes get further and further apart. On this forum Kenny McLean is either the worst midfielder ever to play for NCFC or the reincarnation of Ferenc Puskas...
  14. May 1985, Newcastle (h) 0-0. We were relegated shortly afterwards. Good to realise early on that that was an integral part of the experience. So I will be 40 years a City fan at the end of this season. Yikes.
  15. Their average is brought down severely, though, by the presence of Little Billy Gilmour in their squad
  16. Watching people get radicalised on the internet is pretty depressing
  17. I'd have more sympathy if the 'A' shortage was preventing the printing of a shirt with Sara on the back.
  18. Don't really think these fish puns serve any porpoise. I guess you did it just for the halibut
