Now runs a 'sports consultancy' firm, having admitted that he lost the appetite for actual club management - after all, the latter part of his career was hardly covered in glory: manager of Port Vale (twice), Sheffield United, Tranmere Rovers, and Sligo Rovers.

Ah, I remember the days when we could have "A Thread full of beautiful escaped beavers...…" :)

Not too disappointed, as the majority of any snow we get - increasingly rare, I know, as winters overall are getting milder - is in January and February. And the 'Beast from the East' a couple of years ago was actually right at the start of March. The best scenario would be a strong...

I've always though "If you wheel your luggage down the aisle, then it ain't hand-luggage." Some people are either thick, or they're taking the ****.

Mostly over high ground, though :(

You beat me to it by a matter of seconds :)

He was brilliant at first; one of our best managers ever. Got us playing delightful football which was a joy to watch, and his early post-match interviews were very entertaining too - he was a real 'character' and a breath of fresh air. His enthusiasm and passion were infectious However, over...

Absolutely. I'm sick of hearing how some multi-millionaire business tycoon provided jobs for 1,000s of ordinary people. Er, no; 1,000s of ordinary people worked hard to generate the wealth that made these people multi-millionaires. Sure, you can argue that his business acumen (increasingly...

We've got a pub here in Bath whose only hot food are pizzas made-and-cooked on the premises, and there is a good debate being conducted about whether these ought to be defined as a 'substantial meal' for the purpose of opening the pub - after all, people go to proper restaurants and have a pizza!

As always, you are our prized purveyor of positivity in these dismal days :bowdown:

We get ours from a cheese stall in the local market (which also sells the comte), but I'd imagine some more, er, upmarket supermarkets sell it (Waitrose?). Or any cheese shops near you?

Hartlepool too - their ground backed onto the docks (what was left of them) - I remember seeing the rusting cranes behind one of the stands, shrouded in cold fog drifting in from the North Sea. And Rotherham's 'Millmoor' was surrounded by car scrapyards and railway lines - really grim. Ah...

Applewood smoked, Bavarian smoked, Comte, and Gouda with cumin seeds.

Now that's exactly the type of thing I want to read first thing on a freezing cold morning :thumbsup:

Up until now, I'd managed to banish these names from my memory. That was a godawful transfer window.

Don't want to be picky, but Lamptey was signed last January, and White was already on our books, although understandable that he could be viewed as a 'new' player having returned from his season-long loan at Leeds. But yes, the early summer signing of Lallana and the late summer signing of...

Fair enough, I'm happy to do my bit - an 11th successive year of a pay freeze, but grateful that I've still got a job - but what belt-tightening will our corporate millionaires and 'City' bankers be experiencing. As always - as in the post-2010 austerity - it's the same (poorer) people and...
