But my point was we had this huge debate about fans getting ripped off, I think TS had over an hour of phone calls, in his defence Simon Jordan played Devils Advocate throughout, but ultimately nothing changed, so they pulled this 'stunt' whatever you want to call it, won 1-0 and effectively got...

It was extremely disappointing to see after the initial furore of Aston Villa intention to charge fans £97 a seat to sit in non corporate sections of Villa Park for the visit of Bayern Munich in the CL. Stan Collymore and others right across the media, its disgusting, an insult to the Villa...

I've often been chastised on NSC for my love of the late, and much missed, Bernard Manning :lolol:

I was thinking that, Daniels was superb, I think Lydon would have almost turned it into a bit of a panto. Clearly the punters would have flocked to the cinema's but all these years later would it be viewed as a turkey rather than the classic film it is?

Came across this down a You Tube rabbit hole last night, turns out John Lydon was the original choice for the part of 'Jimmy' before Phil Daniels, but according to Ms Wilcox no one would insure a film with 'Johnny Rotten' in it.

Any death is tragic but it’s very nature, the events in Buenos Aires are heightened by the uncertainty, the conflicting reports and constant media speculation. It is very, very sad, for everyone concerned, his family, his friends, the millions of fans who never even met him, but the person who...

Iconic movie tune

I would say the original line up were very significant in the history of British popular music, is it not the case that their Manchester gig at the Free Trade Hall in the mid 70's spawned the Buzzcocks, Joy Division/New Order and Simply Red ( :facepalm: ), as the likes of Pete Shelley, Peter...

Apologies old boy, you are spot on, a Friday I recall as it was front page on my Grandad's Daily Mail on the Sat. Did his Mum allegedly not give him the drugs that killed him?

I'm with you old boy, and it was the source of some hilarity one Xmas, as my mother in law told us over dinner all it was the funniest thing on TV, so we all made a pact in the kitchen for no one to laugh, which wasn't hard. :lolol:

No such thing as bad publicity, like the 'Go Compare' bloke on Strictly with the alleged wandering hands this will only get more viewers.

"I asked Sid Vicious, when he produces his music does he think about the man in the street? He replied "I've met the man in the street and he's a C***" Came across it the other day whilst watching a You Tube documentary about the Hacienda. Dear old Sid, been dead 45 years next month.

Where do you put Usyk and Dubois in the P4P list?

Clearly not, I doubt TS would have broadcast that figure without fact checking it. I’ve no doubt he clearly had an allegiance to United but that salary figure highlights everything that is wrong at Old Trafford at the moment, you’d almost question with the dodgy way the Glaziers purchased the...

Playing devils advocate here, they’ve slashed the budgets for their match day staff, a lot of people laid off who clearly needed that money, Fergie was getting a alleged 7 figure salary to be a United ambassador. Maybe it’s for the best ? 🤷‍♂️

But do they all run the risk that when the Sheik learns the business and can effectively deal with all the fighters direct, will he need a promoter, be it Frank, Eddie or even little Ben Shalom?

Chris Eubank Junior isn't much better. Unfortunately this fight looks like its going to happen, in Saudi, in Feb, but the PPV buys* will be probably more about entertainment seekers than boxing purists. *Eddie Hearn says a million, but I'd be surprised if they get anywhere near that.

International break, lots of potential converts without a live football fix? The Derby carrot probably makes it a bit more palatable to the uniaiated?

It always goes back to the fact that Hardings were cast aside after looking the club at Withdean for over a decade, Messrs Perry and Brown had their heads turned by caterers who not only talked shite, at times they served it up as well. It’s been a succession of chancers and charlatans, when I...
