Lets B Avenue

Aren't you thinking of Don Roper?

WIFM. Win it for Marks?

The Echo last night gave MOM award to Le Barnard. Perhaps he should be wearing No.7?

"That was a huge no-ball." - Vic Marks.

Bothered? Not even going. I'll have to wait for Duncan's next book to read all about it. Oh no! He's not going either.

A bloke in our pub came out with a classic when seeing someone with a certain distinctive hairstyle. "Who does he think he is? Last of the Moroccons?"

Talk Sport = Complete Bol locks. IMHO.

Lodge Road?

Didn't you say you worked in a fast food outlet? I think you better let on which one.

I too, cant see any reason for the banning of GM as a result of his posts on this thread. Just as when others went the same way it would be nice to know why. After all, we are crying out on here for Cortese to be more open and explain his decisions, so pots, kettles, blackness etc. As often said in Private Eye. "I think we should be told." P.S. Bring back Kardeem Harrison!! PPS Sorry Steve. Crossed in the post.

What has ITN got to do with this. They wont be on until 6.30 and will be full of the Labour Conference. (Ahh. Dear Ol' 19 c*nteen.) Show me the press cuttings of the time, not your own quotation written 33 years later. He most definately called us "brawlers". If not post-match, then in the subsequent days. Check out the "Herald" piece on Steely referred to on here and stick to fishing. You country landowner.

As per the title of the thread, he called us "Alehouse Brawlers".

1st August 1987. Had lunch at The Alex, on the Friday, namely Chicken Surprise. It sure was! I was playing cricket at Botley the following day and spent the early part staying in the shade and drinking water. However, in the 2nd innings, I had to make several dashes from the pitch to behind the pavilion to upchuck. When we went to the pub, I felt better. But as soon as I got there, it was straight in the loo whilst deciding which "end" to evacuate first. We then went on Tour to Somerset and it was Tuesday night before I was up to having a beer.

Apparently that was then and this is now. According to my new friend, Cam.

Oh I,m sorry. Cortese is a****. Ban Alpine. Break Puncheon's legs if you meet him. Who the feck is Les Reed. Is that better?

"Got to get them cookies"

One for the kids. 40 years ago today our non-descript side lept into the public conscience after beating the mighty Liverpool 1-0 at the Dell. After John McGrath had booted their record teenage signing, Alun Evans, into the West Stand terrace after 5 mins ( he was hoisted onto a stretcher) we "competed" with them until their left-back, Alec Lindsay scored an unfortunate headed own-goal. It was not until the sunday papers that we saw Terry Paine had hold of Lindsay's waist as he went to head it, that you realised how it happened. Bill Shankly went ballistic! Collared all his Fleet Street acolytes and went for us, big time. It was over every paper when we normally didn't warrant a mention. No coverage of every game in those days. Anyway, the name stuck which was quite unfair, as we hadn't had anyone sent off for 7 whole days when Jimmy Gabriel was dismissed whilst being stretcherd off at Leeds. He was able to play against Liverpool though. Great powers of recovery then. probably due to the Magic Sponge. (or alcohol.)

It must mean that they've got Shay Given lined up once they come out of admin. on Sep 15/Oct 1/ Oct 15/Nov 1 (Delete where necessary.) Solent announced at 1.00pm that the time set for Chanrai's takeover had expired and would have to be re-negotiated????? The cost of Admin was put at £1.5 million and on a lighter note. The investigation into the actions of former directors had already begun. Luckily, I had just parked up when this was read out or I could well have caused a serious road accident.

Hugh Hefner?

What about your "real true love" then? Dosen't really H when you are wrong also. Arsenal in top flight since 1919. Everton 1954. Spurs 1978 (came up with us). Now if CW is to believed, I cant wait to see Mr Whinger getting on with referees in the Championship. But then again, he also told us he wouldn't post on here any more. That didn't last long.

Jack Boyle was released at the end of last season, yet came on as sub in this game. Is he going to become another Pulis that we are stuck with... for ever?

Sighted people with dogs and clever dogs.

The Shahi, just up from The Bent Brief, has been there for about 20 years. Rice & Spice, next to the health club, for 10.

Nice stripes on the lawn?

Roasted, toasted or bar-b-qued?
