What? That is like The Beatles in comparison! And it's original, not an amateurish, 5th-rate desecration of our National Anthem.

That's true, and she was Minister for Transport from 1965 to 1968 so she was in charge during a lot of the 'Beeching' cuts. I put that in quotes as although he was appointed by the Tories and published his 'Reshaping of Britain's Railways' report under them, he'd stopped being Chairman of BR...

Leaving aside the mis-pronunciation of 'Amex' that is absolutely superb! Best Albion fan song since Ted Young's 'Seagulls'! (You see that's what we need, not crap re-workings of GOSBTS)

I'm not denying that, but I do feel in the 'old days' there would have been more of a tendency to allow 'the talent' some slack. So he sent a few dodgy texts, not a sackable offence is it? We'll have a quiet word. Don't rock the boat, let's keep it in-house, mustn't sully the good name of the...

It's about as racist as Tony Bloom sacking Chris Hughton. This is the BBC over-compensating. They did nothing about Edwards, they did nothing about the Strictly dancers, and then they, rightly, copped a huge amount of flack for their 'sweep it under the carpet' approach. In the current...

Yeah, I got 160 as well - which is funny as I didn't even do it!

Proper Albion shirts! None of that stripey nonsense! :)

True, that is the other side of the coin, We do seem to be buying/chasing a lot of players in this 'honey money' period before the sustainability timeframe passes, but ultimately our model is still to develop and sell. Not all the signings are going to work out, some we'll take a hit on, and so...

I will be disappointed to see him go, but ultimately, yes, you're right. (Ditto Buonanotte). As a policy it makes perfect sense, especially as our overall recruitment seems to have moved up a gear this season as we seem to be in the market for more 'oven ready' players. I am slightly worried...

No. It was before I moved to Sussex. (My first game was about eighteen months later).

I do hope @Lurker is enjoying this thread. He mentioned on the 'How to make NSC better' thread how much he enjoyed the intelligent way the 'Joke Du Jour' threads deconstruct and analyse the joke. In fact I'm sure he's got a big smile breaming on his face. Sorry Lurker! :lolol:

Welcome! You've 'lurked' long enough to know that someone will soon be along to accuse you of being Palace. (For some reason new posters who introduce themselves often get accused of being that. Worst trait of NSC IMO). EDIT: And I see it's been done!

"The Albion LOST ........ (their highly-rated Argentinian fullback when he went on loan to a big Spanish club, was a huge success and decided to stay there)"

Was that the same bloke who had jelly, cake, cream and custard coming out of his ears? He was walking along the road one day when a little boy came up to him and said: "Excuse me mister, why have you got jelly, cake, cream and custard coming out of your ears?" The bloke replied "You'll have to...

Your username is extremely apt! But yes, I hope so too. We may be doomed to disappointment though :(

True, but these threads usually wander off, and we've got to talk about something until the Flight Tracker information appears. Have we done what his other half looks like yet? That's usually an essential part of a transfer thread and good for a bit of wasted time/bandwidth. Or what about how...

I must admit I'm the same. I believe that, yes it was a co-incidence. A pretty remarkable one, but a tragic co-incidence nonetheless. However if I did believe conspiracy theories this is certainly one I'd be tempted to swallow. (That and Jeffrey Epstein being killed because he knew too much).

Yes. I do believe there is somewhere a post from me saying we shouldn't sign him as he was an ageing crock. Championship level at best, I opined, we need to be signing young prospects not old has-beens. Whilst obviously that does make a lot of sense as a general policy there are always...

Me too! After my initial euphoria had died down I thought "Hmm. Hope this isn't Hinshlewood all over again!" Naa. Can't be ........ can it?

Meh. You're only saying that 'cos you fancied him! :lolol: (But no, you're spot on).
