Football tends to be cyclical. It may be 5 years, 10 years or 30 years, but they will come back. I can remember Man Utd being relagated to what was then Div 2, won the Div 2 title the following year and have been in Div 1/Prem ever since. Being relegated gives them a chance to clear out the...
I'm not sure the Liverpool match is a good comparison, but my lad and I will be at the Derby match. We weren't at the Liverpool match so how does that affect the statistical analysis???
2 points clear at the top of the Championship, 5 wins in a row, Blackburn lost on Friday and Blackpool didn't play. And I bet the Football League Show STILL don't show the Albion first!
I usually go with my lad but if he can't make it then I'm not averse to going on my own. I always say hello to whoever I'm sat next to and try and get a conversation going so it's not a lonely experience.
Born in Bristol but family moved to Newhaven when I was about 5 and lived there until I left home at 16. Within a couple of years my parents had moved to within a stone's throw of the Goldstone Ground; why couldn't they have done that when I was 5?
I love the Championship because on any given weekend there are almost no 'banker' games, anyone, it seems, can beat anyone else if they play well (with the possible exception of Peterborough it would seem!). If we got to the Premiership that dynamic changes massively, and I suspect that with...
I particularly liked this comment:
"If we play Tiny and Gardener together against Brighton we will get completely arse raped pace wise. Thank god you ain't the manager."
We were on an archaeology trip in Cyprus, just looking round the various sites, when a lady found something in the sand. Turned out to be some interesting historical artefact (a piece of jewellery I think - it was many years ago now) and is now on display in one of the museums in Nicosia. Not...
Good memories (although I wasn't at that game); no idea where my British Caledonian shirt went! Isn't it great to watch a game with some 'manly' tackles without play acting or the screaming hordes descending upon the ref. Imagine if Coppell's tackle on Ward was against one of the current Man...
