Made I laugh.... despite comments from the moral majority

voyeur

and why are most people so confident that Jemmal is the answer to our problems ?* My understanding is that he only played about 30 games in his one season for YB, and has a disciplinary record that Mark Dennis,Jim Steele and Brian O'Neil combined would be proud of.(Okay,answered my own question as to why we want him - back to the Alehouse days !). * as opposed to Gorkks who is proven at Championship level

No.

I await the sash again in 2035/6 for our 150th anniversary, assuming I am still breathing of course.

or the Latvian Jaidi. Presumably, after Pahars( 'the little Lat' ), Gorkss should he sign will be known as the 'lanky Lat'.

I think thats a bit unfair on Gorkss to be honest. QPR had to up their bid a couple of times to sign him,and I seem to remember the Blackpool chairman publicly saying they want to keep him. As for QPR,they are now of course in the prem,and as such their priorities re squad has changed. As someone else stated they have signed Gabbidon,and with Taarabt (?) leaving Colin W^nker possibly sees Puncheon as a playmaker for them. Gorkss was highly rated when QPR signed him,and he was a frequent name on our HCDAJFU threads for a couple of years.

Fulham away 1978, Friday night fixture towards the end of the season.

Perhaps its (not) a close shave but Nick Holmes probably wins. In hindsight though Holmes beard may have cost him an England call up at one stage as it made him appear middleaged though still in his early 20's. He would however win the annual Saints Bjorn Borg lookalike contest for several seasons.

Amber and black during the 1950's and 60's. Yellow and blue was introduced in 1974 as it was fashionable in the early 1970's (previously worn by Chelsea,Everton and worst of all ManU.)

Good coverage here, commentary in German. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0sF6YRLzgo Better film footage than we normally get on tv,and from some away games on OS. Bremen, their supporters, and camera crew will be welcome back in the future.

What became of the "Vokes is heading south" from Wolves story on Friday ?

Not over enamoured with the selection of the away kit,have been saying for some time yellow & black would be a more traditional kit, and have preferred the navy/yellow combination rather than yet another yellow,shirts,blue shorts effort. Having gone that route we make ourselves look rather feeble,trying to copy Brazil's kit. Think both Palace and even the skates may have done that one, and made laughing stocks of themselves out of it. There is of course that to consider. I was there in 76,the yellow blue fashion reached us in 74 I think. Yes,liked the kit then,but we have done it to death since. Amber (or yellow) and black should be our away kit. In short, this is unimaginative, and better designs have been put forward on here. Assume this to be a one year design by the way.

Interesting comments, but in all seriousness when did it last feel like it was our club ? Probably whilst we were still at The Dell, and some time before Lowe and reverse takeovers were heard of, perhaps even before Askham foisted Branfoot on us. In which case we are going back to the days of Woodford, in the mid 1980's.

11th August 2001.

Totally agree with you.

Hope it is not, and agree its unimaginative.Worn by every other club since the 1970's at some stage or other.

how are you itk on this ?, or is it guesswork ?

Probably because they do not use lower case for any of the letters in his name. ie DE RIDDER rather than De (or de) Ridder.

..on similar evidence though we once signed Delgado,so you can understand those being just be a little cautious

Hope he's good, and if he isn't then just hope he is better and more committed than our last Belgian import.

Thanks. Yellow sleeved version is preferable, but does look a bit "Notts Countyeque" !

Blackburn away :

I too noticed that, an attitude not entirely removed from Kenwynne Jones a few seasons ago, for which he was widely condemned on here.Good prospect he may be,but not sure we need another Puncheon in the building, or on the bus.

Sounds quite good, await a decent mock up of it on here.
