I'll give a nod towards the 2-1 win over Sunderland in 04/05. Very, very tense last 15 minutes as Sunderland threw everything towards the 10 men after they got 1 back in the 2nd half. I think that was the last defeat Sunderland had that season as they won they League. I recall people whistling...
Thanks "Deano"
Our former captain obviously realised that Scott McGleish must be due to retire soon and so BRAVELY stepped up to the plate and assumed the role of "Total C**t" for the next 10 years or so.
Well done Hammond. You have well and truly burnt your bridges tonight and you deserve...
Would "some people" include a certain Gus Poyet? He made him captain, has played him in nearly every game and praises him in the media:
England skipper backs Albion captain Crofts From The Argus)
Goal-happy Crofts is hot property From The Argus)
I think i'll trust the opinion of a man who's...
Im not renewing a season ticket for 09/10, i'm getting a NEW one. Gave up the season ticket after the 05/06 season but i've realised that there's little point in doing that when I end up going to nearly all the home games anyway. Of course there are glory hunter benefits to doing this as this...
Talking of stadium proposals, are there any drawings of Barry Lloyds pet project at Beeding Cement Works? I'm sure he's still convinced that it was a winner. He maintains that it was all set to be built until Archer pulled the plug on the thing.
I do know that there's a picture of Bellotti's...
Er, could someone explain how this sad wretch isn't banned yet?
Frankly that is one of the most pathetic, offensive, things i've ever seen written on Nsc and that takes some f*ckin doing.
Unreal.
I've always thought that us and Millwall were pretty much on the same level. Had success in the 80's with a couple of seasons in the top division, reached an FA cup final (except we actually turned up for our appearance), both have a committed hardcore of support with a large number of floating...
I seem to recall that Millwall fans main problem about his time in charge was the over-zealous stewards and their attitude towards home fans. Seem to recall there were much complaints over people being kicked out for very little reason and a large number of banning orders being handed out, some...
Just thought i'd bounce this PEARLER of a thread back up the board in light of a certain date being passed. JBE do you want to give us any more cast-iron facts? Maybe your gloomy predictions for this season? Some more belters that we can file alongside:
Nicky Forster has a serious long-term...
Just seen that Paul Brooker has been released by Brentford, maybe he's one of those potential deals Knight mentioned in the Argus?
Or maybe he'll sign for Rushden & Diamonds instead.
Well workplace starting cracking down on web usage so I thought i'd go easy on posting. Then the team went completely bobbins so I checked out for a while because this place turns into a complete turdpile when things go wrong on the pitch. Then all the Falmer stuff was coming to a head so I...
I'd also suggest that statements like this do nothing except motivate the opposition even more:
"Our promotion campaign starts on Saturday"
You can bet that that little nugget has been pinned up in the Prenton Park dressing room already. Remember when we went to Southend in 2000 and starting...
Has someone got the amount of copies those crappy 06 football books have sold? Hasn't Ashley Coles book sold something like 2,000 copies?
I want to get hold of Perry Groves biography, it actually sounds quite interesting and I think it's sold something like 10x more than Cashley's.
From the Argus:
"I was very impressed," he said. "They are trying to play the right way and they looked very organised but my doubt about them is there are a lot of youngsters and they are going to need time and encouragement.
"Are they good enough to get promoted? I would say not at the moment...
Funny how Sheepcote has now turned into a "brownfield" site. I always thought it was a park. If it's a brownfield site because it used to be a landfill site, then doesn't that make Waterhall a brownfield site as well?
Does anyone have any idea what the "deficiences" were with the evidence on...
If this is true then Falmer looks in real trouble doesn't it? Kelly sent out her letter on the 20th which stated that all representations must be submitted by 28th December. LDC revealed it wanted until mid-Feb before it could hand in its representations on the 24th and Kelly has already granted...
I'm fairly certain that TOFFS did realise those Admiral shirts for a brief run around 2004. They had the 1978 shirts with the home on in long-sleeved form and the red away one in short sleeved. The 1982 ones were both short sleeved. I remember debating about buying one in a shop on Oxford Street...
Just been reading some quotes from John Sitton, ex-manager of Leyton Orient, featured on the documentary "Leyton Orient: Club for a Fiver" in the Guardian today.
"You've all gotta go. You've all gotta go. Any of yer on 35 grand and all that, you've all gotta go. He [the chairman] wants to bring...
Well the whole "When the Whistle blows" thing is a piss-take of LB, what with its laughter track and reliance on catch-phrases and costumes. Last nights episode with the "Andy Millman" doll and the discussions about ringtones was a blatant piss-take of LB and they way the two have cashed in on...
