I loved the book and although I was looking forward to the TV adaptation it was with a certain amount of trepidation having seen good books being mauled by a film version in the past, if anyone read Trainspotting first the film left me flat. I was pleased with the first part last night, as Stat...
Not sure it was my first Fa Cup match, but it certainly the first one I remember against Southampton at home ( 1985) possibility 5th round. Tv cameras on the East Stand with the legendary chant "can you see us on the box"! We lost 2-0. But next seasons opening credits of Match of the Day...
We moved to Bton in 1983.My dad had never been into football, but eventually persuaded him to take me down there in 1984. We used to live near Dyke Rd and could clearly here the noise from the Goldstone and never have anywhere to park from 12pm pm a Saturday.
My first game was an evening game...
I know I have been here before, but having worked in Bognor Regis for a year and a half I have an extreme allergic reaction to the place. Run down, identikit shopping area, the place people come to stay for a while and end up living there without wanting to but somehow get trapped there! Not to...
In the South Coast melting pot, it is Pompey for me which I really cannot stand. I never liked them anyway but having worked in Bognor for a while and witnessing the amount of Pompey infested support there. My mild dislike became more pronounced and after the whole Premiership experience using...
Crack is different to Cocaine Hydrochloride ( ie the salt and the stuff most people sniff or smoke) as the Hydrochloride is removed in the preparation or "washing up". What you are left with is crystals which are designed only to be smoked, or though some will inject it. The high is far more...
The reason why you post on NSC so regularly is that your teams message board reflects the level of support Leyton Orient have, in other words you constitute about 25% of the O's following!
At the risk of making myself unpopular, in his defence he represents many constituents who were rabidly anti-Falmer along with the local council. In terms of his political health, anything other then an anti- Falmer approach may have been political suicide for him, and I don't suppose he was...
Watching the Albion off and on for twenty six years has always been full of ups and downs,as much for off the pitch as on it. The quality of football has often been a distant runner-up in terms of those ups and downs; Not any more, after yesterday I can say with confidence that we are playing...
The mauling of not one but three Cameroon players on Canaggia has to be one of my all time favourite World Cup moments. As he left the pitch he was given a standing ovation by many in the ground and was happy to applaud back!
Exactly! They know we bring a lot in an average season, let alone for a top of the table clash. So they want to try and counter our support. It won't work.
I remember Ritchie Barker nutting into their net right in front of our end, cue
mayhem, marvellous scenes!
Never! My partner is far to liberal when it comes to giving the kids Ketchup, or red sauce as my northern friends call it. We have had to have words as to what is appropriate use of Ketchup and what is not, but she would never encourage on Roasts! Thank god.
I don't claim to know the ins and outs of Pompeys financial mess, its all very confusing.
It just seem's incredibly unfair they can go out and get Lawrence and Kitson on huge wages whilst they still owe and are not paying huge amounts to an army of creditors, particularly when other clubs...
I remember them beating us at Priestfield ( at least I think was them), one of my lowest Albion memories, particularly as their keeper ended the game by abusing us by pointing out how crap we were. I then proceeded to complain like an idiot to the Police whilst they video'd my rant, probably to...
I shudder to think what the ENA "undercover operatives" looked like, if their Spymaster breaks down in Pease Pottage. Wearing a comedy wig, a combat jacket and dowsing themselves in Pettuli oil was probably never going to fall the EDO protesters for very long!
