RIP Eric. He was in the year above me at school in Hackney and was always bunking off to the nearby pub to play darts with his dad and his dad's pals. He was a bit of a lad and bloody funny, always bantering with the teachers, who,liked him too. Very popular and decent bloke. 60 is no age to go.
I’m in the WSL, Block I. When Leicester scored on 83 minutes there was an Amexodus on a scale I’d never witnessed before in that block, with one chap in the WSU shelf behind me getting very worked up and screaming “sit down - the team needs your support more than ever now”. I understand and...
When he had his run-in with HMRC for non-payment of tax (in a lengthy court case in 1989, which he won) in his defence he pleaded that the charges against him were flawed in that he wasn't subject to the rules of the Inland Revenue ..…because he lived by the seaside! :lolol:
Spot on. I feel sorry for the young lad who’s probably been exploited in all of this. Dad’s unequivocally stated that his son has been an Arsenal fan since birth. Not Arsenal and Albion, just Arsenal. So he’s not an Albion fan. Dad’s therefore “blagged” a shirt from Knocky (see post #72) which...
Seeing such “begging” from kids decked out in full Albion colours makes it even more cringeworthy, especially when the Albion is competing toe-to-toe with the very teams “our” fans are hero-worshipping. Can’t be too hard on the kids, who are not as devoted as adults and may have split loyalties...
Condolences.
If the estate is not complex then it’s relatively easy to do it yourself. I’m not a solicitor but I have now done four probates in recent years, all by reference to HMRC’s site, which is quite helpful. You can download for free all of the required forms which will need completing...
Mrs SUA Seagull has excelled herself with a cake she made for my 60th birthday today. I suspected she may have been up to something when I found a photocopy of the Albion logo in the house a few days ago but had no idea what she had in mind!
A win against Arsenal tomorrow will be the icing on...
That’s absolutely right BV – I wasn’t thinking straight!:blush:
The only way City won’t play Swansea on the w/e of 21 April is:
if Spurs and Swansea both make it through their R5 replays to the QFs, then:
• Swansea beat Spurs, we beat Man U, in which case we’ll be in the SF that w/e:albion2...
Here you go. City fixture list on which I've indicated possible dates for City vs Albion.
Looks like mid-April could be a good bet. Hopefully City will have the PL title wrapped up by then and the first team concentrating on CL semi-finals.
Almost certain to be a midweek fixture unless April...
Good advice BP. 3 of my grandparents died when I was very young, and one (who suffered from dementia) when I was a teenager, so I never had much quality time with any of them and my memories (of their suffering) sadly outweigh those of happier times, when I was even younger. As parents, my wife...
I tried the Predictor and ended up with Albion on 37 points, safe in 15th. Another 9 points picked up c/o W vs Swansea and Huddersfield and D vs Leicester, Palace and Burnley. A few weeks back I had us down for 36 points and 16th with a defeat at Burnley, but I'm now optimistically going for a...
In their own way, each was breathtaking and Albion fans will never tire of watching them. The memories they evoke are wonderful.
Stockers just about edges it for me (it was a wafer thin call!), not just because of his incredible reactionary double save, but because of the fact that the Albion...
After the West Brom and Chelsea defeats a few weeks ago, many on NSC (myself included) felt that 7-8 points from our end-Jan/Feb fixtures would be an achievable and terrific 4-game haul in our bid for survival, especially given the tough end of season run-in we have to face. With 4 points...
