You mean like CPFC2010 inherited their history from CPFC xxxx who had in turn inherited their's from CPFC yyyy ? Not surprising this inconvenient truth was overlooked by whatever Palace knob posted above about clubs rarely going out of existence. They do. And his 7 year old club stands...

I was brought up in Goldstone Crescent. These days I look across the park and sense the absence of the ground like an amputee can still feel sensation in a missing limb. The memories are so deep that I only have to see a thread like this to conjure up images of the pre-match hustle and bustle...

Get a grip fellas … I have been to countless games as a neutral here and abroad over the years. I am a football tourist. As teenagers in the late 60s/early 70s, me and some of the blokes at school would go to any Div 1 game in London that took our fancy when the mighty seagulls were playing in...

That reply was posted March last year which is rather heartwarming as it means the thread "who else is resigned to resignation?" has now been active for a year or more. I think I might just have to indulge in a cosy bout of schadenfreude this evening. Marvellous scenes today. :rave:

Good spot! Technology has changed more quickly than I'd realised.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that society has changed over the last 20 years?

Bert Trautman broke his neck in Cup Final as you say...played for Man City for years. German POW who didn't go home after the war. Amazing life. Didn't die so long ago.

"Who's the tw@t in the silly hat?" was reverberating around the heaving terraces of the Rainham end one grim Winter's evening. I was near the front, keeping a cigarette dry under the expansive brim of my Dryzabone slouch hat when it suddenly dawned on me that they might actually be having a pop...

Paramilitary social workers (not my words)

Childish vibes picked up down the road from you - voted Liked the comment added by S'hampton Seagull Suitably ashamed of myself :rave:

I'd go along with that although I thought he was 16 when he made his debut?

All 20 Premier League clubs are in Deloittes top 40 clubs worldwide ranked by annual turnover. As has been suggested above, agents will seek us out when/if we get there because their motivation is predominantly financial. So, they can be expected to come knocking when they have a client to...

Some blip!

I just travelled half way round the world (OK, a quarter of the way round the world) to watch that. It was f*****g brilliant. A dire game? Yes, but only for the first 75 minutes or so. After that, one way traffic. Didn't deserve anything? Only if you're a miserable sod, first class. After the...

Wolves - Phil Parkes QPR - Phil Parkes

Or they are top because they've played one more than us. We win today and the theory begins to look a little less robust.

Rather appropriately it's Thanksgiving this week - I'm very thankful for 2 bank holidays.
