We could use this argument for Bobby Robson quite easily.
He got us to the semi finals of the world cup in 90 but we only scraped past Egypt, Belgium & Cameroon. We could only draw against Ireland and Holland before being beaten heroically by the Germans. Not exactly world beating when you also...
To be honest, I can't comment too much as I didn't see as many games as I would have liked last year. Personally, it looked like things had improved since the Mcghee era although thats not saying I had Ronaldo style anticipation everytime we had a free kick just outside the box.
My image at the...
I'm not a particular fervent anti Mcghee poster but it used to drive me round the bend when our lack of movement or routine at corners, throw ins or free kicks was painfully obvious for all to see.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Wilkins sacking it seems a bit unfair to blame crap...
Here is a list of things that happened to me or close friends when I was a kid
(1) Left in a pram outside the library. When Dad returned home, he remembered he'd left his son outside the library although he did have a nice selection of books to read.
(2) I was left behind as a kid at the...
I have to say I was distinctly unimpressed with the Cadburys chocolate factory. Having grown up with Ronald Dahl I was expecting Golden Tickets, Umpa Lumpas, rivers full of Dairy milk and maybe even a flying lift.
Instead it seemed to be watching a few hungover Brummies on minimum wage stacking...
‘Kin hell. A few days before the start of the season is fine in your book then? Good business practice? This from a club who a few years ago were so skint they sent the begging bowl round for an extra twenty and the empty the change in your pockets. Surely in this context getting the kit out...
Well perhaps if she had done a better job of being a whore in the bedroom, a whore in the bathroom and a whore in the kitchen and then thought about getting his tea on quick, he wouldn't have felt the need to dissappear for 5 years even if he was bankrupt.
Send her down for 20 years I say.
Well no. I think the joke went.
Customer : Do you know where I can find some Tampax?
Saturday Youth Worker : Sorry, we don't sell Tampax but can I interest you in a Lawn Mower?
Customer : Why would I want a Lawn mower?
STW : Well, you weekends f***ed so why don't you mow the lawn instead?
Boom...
When I was at School (over 20 years ago), This joke had a youth starting a Saturday job in Texas homecare (which has been shut since the mid 90's) who only managed to shift a lawnmower on top on his jam rags. Although the Tampax has changed to Always Ultra I've no idea why he is now Lebanese and...
The problem is that if you live with a bird viewing becomes polarised. I want to watch 20/20 cricket, she will want to watch SATC season 5 on the Paramount comedy channel. Back when we had 5 channels we ended watching some crap documetary on Channel 4 that neither of us were that intersted in...
Ah. Another Knight thread the same as the last 500 of them.
Morris dives in complaining that Knight was MISUNDERSTOOD just like he is at the Horsham Bugle. Wistfully, Morris makes the parallel in his own mind as to why Knight is not playing champions league football at Real Madrid and Morris...
I'll second that. A steaming pile of turd which I seem to remember even had continuity errors in it (one minute he is is swimming to a plane about a mile away, seconds later he is in it , takes off and has caught up with whoever he was chasing in 5 more seconds). So bad its untrue.
I'll...
Earlier this week, Speilberg promises not to post any tips regarding 3 legged donkeys before they end up in the glue factory.
Now Aids has resigned from the board.
If true, its almost a perfect week on here.
Even I as a self confessed Colin hater will admit he had a half decent game last night. I still think though that at several key moments he was doing the usual.
(1) Bollocked by the manager for appearing on the left when he is playing on the right.
(2) Strolling back past the halfway line when...
A friend of mine had a local called the dog and gun. I suggested we go there for a pint on our way into Liverpool.
''Mate'' he said ''I wouldn't go in that place if I had a Dog and a Gun'' One look through the window confirmed his view.
