  1. Who else have we rescued from “obscurity” who has then used us as a stepping stone ? Most players we get from bigger clubs have either been on their way down, or like OR have settled at our level. I can’t think of one other player that has stepped down to us, then gone back up.
  2. Well its pretty easy, I’m surprised someone has to ask. We were promised out of the CU, SM and an end to free movement. Therefore where else could we be on that diagram? Had we voted to remain we’d have only been with Bulgaria, Romania & Croatia anyway, so it’s a pretty pointless diagram.
  3. Mick Channon Martin Chivers Kevin Keegan Alan Shearer Rod Wallace Danny Wallace Sadio Mane
  4. There’s not much wealth in the Cuban parts of Miami. We used to do construction work for Dade County Welfare housing and most Latinos were dirt poor.
  5. City Villa is some game
  6. I guess you’re right. As Bill Shankley replied when someone compared Mick Channon to Tom Finney “aye, he is as good, mind you, Tom is 70”.
  7. Why not? What’s money got to do with it? I presume Mick Channon was shite because City only paid 300k for him.
  8. There was football before 1992 you know.
  9. He’s not even in the top 5/6 strikers that have left the club.
  10. Don’t talk rubbish man. How old are you 15?
  11. I’m a Saints fan through and through, but if he was my son and I was advising him,I’d tell him to go for it if one of the big 6 came in. He’s unfinished business at that level and I wouldn’t want him retiring wondering “what if”. The number posts I’ve read slating VvD & Lallana for the way they left, I presume if he gets his head down and leaves in the proper manner, there will be no hatred. If he leaves early, so be it. We’ve certainly got more out of him than most people thought we would. The only loyal people in football are the supporters, and players nobody wants to buy.
  12. No. That was George Martin. Spector only got involved with the Beatles right at the very end, much to McCartneys disgust. As Hamilton wrote, Lennon really brought him in and he ended up producing (badly) some of his and George’s solo albums. Paul wrote a letter to the other 3’s manager Allen Klein laying out his opposition to Spector’s work on one particular song and the rearrangement of his songs probably contributed to him realising the band was over.
  13. Really looking forward to Peter Jackson’s delayed new version of the movie Let it be, which fingers crossed is out this summer. Then we’ll really see what a pigs ear Spector & Michael Lindsay-Hogg made of the original project.
  14. Players don’t see it like that. They’ve big egos and you need bags and bags of self confidence to make it in the top flight. He won’t be thinking “I’ll be behind Harry Kane” he’ll think he’ll play so well Jose will adjust and play both of them. Players will think playing with better players will make me better and I’ll make the side. Look at Jota at Liverpool, he hasn’t gone there to sit on the bench.
  15. It’s triggered a load of twats on here.
  16. Snap dragon had hers on Friday, and she was told more or less the same thing. They did tell her she may feel rough for a few days, but she hasn’t as of yet.
  17. Fucking messed up nearly everything he touched when it comes to The Beatles. Listen to the McCartney’s 2003 remix of “Let it be” to see what an album it could of been. To omit “don’t let me down” and then put soppy mush on the other tracks was criminal. He then totally over produced “all things must pass”, which could have been one of the greatest album ever. “Imagine “ the album was a horrible mush again, and what he did to John Lennon “Rock and Roll” was a fucking disgrace , although his behaviour during the recording, including shooting the ceiling out with a gun, hinted at what was to come. Not a patch on George Martin or McCartney himself when it comes to producing them. Did some great stuff that was made for radio working with session greats like Leon Russell, Glen Campbell & Carol Kaye, but his Beatles stuff was fucking woeful. He deserved locking up for that alone. Good riddance to the loon.
  18. Why the fuck didn’t they do that in the first place, instead of this ridiculous automatic refund per game. Any halfwit could see that automatically refunding people per game was going to lead to cock ups. Personally, if I was the big chief in the ticket office, I’d have given people 3 options after I’d taken their money. 1. Money carried forward till next season. 2. Refund at end of season. 3. Refund per game, but you have to ring up and request it.
  19. Ings would stay loyal to us if we won the league and were in and around the top 6 two or 3 years running.
  20. This Government has got itself in a right mess over this and it was so predictable. When you court popularity at the expense of proper government it comes back to haunt you. Kids should get school dinners when they’re in school, like they’ve always done. Out of school it’s the parents responsibility to feed them. If the parents can’t afford it, that’s an argument for higher welfare benefits, not for sending food parcels because a famous footballer generates poor headlines for you. If you need to make emergency payments as kids are out of school when they’re normally in it, then do that. Once you start relying on food parcels there’s always going to be a fuck up. Give them the dosh and let them feed their kids, trust people to do the right thing instead of micro managing their lives.
  21. He’s right though. Can you imagine the outcry if Europe was cracking on with the vaccine and we were dithering and fucking around.
  22. The only problem ??? They’ll be howls of outrage from lefties if Government issued food vouchers. Thin end of the wedge, once you accept the principle, what’s to stop a Government paying a portion of welfare benefits in food vouchers.
  23. This is an attempted coup. “Bridges over the Bosphorus strait in Istanbul were blocked by troops late evening local time on Friday. Fighter jets and helicopters were seen flying over the Turkish capital, Ankara, and gunshots heard. Soon after, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim announced that an attempt to overthrow the government was under way. A faction of the army then said, via a state broadcaster, that it had seized power to protect democracy from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. A curfew, martial law and the preparation of a new constitution was announced. Mr Erdogan, who was on holiday in a seaside resort town, called on his supporters to take to the streets in protest and returned to Istanbul. Over the course of a violent night, TV stations were raided by soldiers, explosions heard in Istanbul and Ankara, protesters shot at, the parliament and presidential buildings fired upon, a military helicopter shot down and the Turkish military chief taken hostage. In the early hours of Saturday morning, groups of soldiers involved began to surrender. Troops abandoned their tanks with their hands up. Security forces also took back key installations and bases, including the military headquarters. By Saturday evening, some of the same places that had seen such chaos the night before were filled with jubilant supporters of Mr Erdogan.” This is Maidstone on a Sat night.
  24. What, in July?
