The best thing to do right now is panic...

[Badger 0]

We have lost 2 away games in a row - played poorly in one of them. There is only one thing that any reasonable person can do - PANIC! No team has ever had a good season after losing the first two away games of the season - it is a well known fact.

The only way to salvage the season is to replace the board, the team, the manager, the staff, the pitch and the ground in the next few weeks before the end of the transfer window or it will be conference league for us next year!

I''m sick of these KTFs who stop us from being champions of the universe by their lack of ambition!

The physically bravest in real life was Private Ridley.

Our story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2461831/Dads-Army-stars-First-World-War-heroics.html

An overview:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Ridley

I once interviewed Arthur Lowe in his role as the voice of the Mr Men characters (brilliantly done) and found him almost as pompous as he was in Dad''s Army.  Great actor but more or less as Dad''s Army portrayed him.

Or as Bill Pertwee  (ARP Warden  Hodges) memorably said: "Great actor but a bastard to work with."

The Vicar in Green and Yellow will, I am sure, be pleased to know that Frank Williams (Dad''s Army vicar) is still around in his 70s. For quite some years he was actually a member of the General Synod of the Church of England although never ordained.  It just looked as if he had been ordained...............

If the posters on this message board were the cast of Dads Army who would be Warden Hodges [:^)][:S]

Happy with the last 3 seasons are we?Good good, little Narrrwich and all that.Capital, capital. Lovely Family Club."Where are you?!"Allow me to point out the obvious, 2 games, 2 losses, doesnt inspire much hope. After the last 3 seasons we;ve had, can you blame some of us for being downbeat?

Being a journalist I''d probably be Private Joe Walker.

Interesting comment a couple of years ago from Ian (Stupid Boy) Lavender: "His death was a terrible loss because it cost another nemisis against Mainwaring and it couldn''t really be replaced as Jimmy was Jimmy.  A great natural actor.  His timing was marvellous .  It offered something that couldn''t be done after he died - the quick fag on parade.  Terribly sad loss to the business and to the show"

If it were "On the busses" who would be the character who always used to say "you make me sick Butler (Delia)." Plenty of possiblities!

It was Blakey. No I am not Delia thanks. I''m a better cook (so my mistress says).

I also know more about running a football club!![:D]. I even used to have my own subuteo team and I had a striker (middle finger)

Nigel, Butler -thanks! No our nominations for the best Blakey are...

We''ll, I''m the one who keeps raising rules and laws sand putting facts in the way of arguments so I''d better own up before I''m denounced.

I had a subuteo set too. I never won very much though as my mum kept selling my best players.

I tried to organise my brothers and sisters so that we could protest and get a new mum, but they lacked ambition and said that we should look at the full picture...

My pocket money only stretched far enough to bribe friends into lending me some of their cast off players.

You couldn''t get much for a smarty even a red one.I lived in hope that my rich uncle (he had his own bike) would finance a new paint job.

I''m still waiting as is my nice ironed pitch (in the loft)

I had my own Subbuteo set. Just the basic pitch, lovingly glued onto a large piece of board by my Dad, and a few teams. My best mate, on the other hand, had a whole room full of the stuff. Stadium, floodlights, commentary box, fans, police, subs benches. You name it and he had it. It looked fantastic but there was one major flaw, it was virtually impossible to reach over the stadium walls to take your flick unless the ball was on the wing! The amount of times the stadium walls collapsed I''m surprised we didn''t have our safety certificate withdrawn [:D]

We had a league set up with about twenty kids from our school. I, of course, took my Norwich team round and was in second after a couple of weeks. Unfortunately the league was abandoned due to various little herberts failing to fulfil their fixtures because of homework/going home for tea/being grounded. I wonder if Mr Carrow and his friends had their own Monopoly league [;)]
