To be fair, the dye was cast long before Tony went poaching in South Wales. First we had the 'lady' from the Accountants selling her story to the tabloids, with selfies of Shane asleep, whilst he was still in the long standing relationship, and then his brief but much publicised dalliance with...

Strange one, I thought his sights would have been a bit higher, club in the North lower reaches of the Championship, unless he's taken the job without any jepoardy? The owner might have already aceepted relegation and its all about building up for the big comeback in 23/24?

Sadly I think the death of his father and the breakdown of his long term relationship were the catalysts for his Albion career to hit the skids. Life's sliding door moments unfortunately.

On reflection all part of the con, they (Archer and Belotti) arrived promptly sacked the unpopular but ultimately misunderestimated Barry Lloyd, got the fans back on side, appointed one of the most gifted players to ever grace the Football League as Manager, all looked good, what could possibly...

And that was before his career finished prematurely due to injury. As great as Moises and Mitoma potentially are, even Alexis, this is still for me an open and shut case, it will take a world class player to usurp Lawro as the greatest ever Seagull.

He already lives there you cheeky f*****😂

This is why we need a designated RIP section, came in from work and my heart sank, one of the most honourable people I‘ve ever met connected with the Albion. Thankfully he’s still with us 👍

Don’t shoot the messenger but from a very reliable source he was all set to buy a nice property in the north part of Worthing but pulled out of the purchase a couple of weeks ago apparently, hopefully he’s found another house locally? 🙏

So there you go young man, had we shut down the thread as you suggested we’d have missed out on NSCers shagging Madames in Ferry toilets, countless blade escapades and classic firework tales, not too mention weak French lager. Sometimes Schmunk old boy however fast and loose your own life is...

It would be nice to have a politician in the UK prepared to stand up in Parliament and state “I will end child poverty in this country”, never going to happen, for all his faults, and clearly he was flawed at times, as you say they don’t make them like Winnie anymore. 👍

I think the ignorance concerning the Russian winter and the invasion, making the same mistake as Napoleon was a huge factor, that said and back to the OP, this country 58 years on is all the better for having Sir Winston Churchill as a part of it.

I think our crushing days were over, take WW2 out of the equation, how many violent uprisings around the Empire could we have we have coped with/afforded in the 40/50/60s?

Come a long way since Michael Knighton couldn’t raise the £9million in 1989 to buy Manchester United, including the freeholds on Old Trafford and the training ground?

Don’t you think the Empire was destined to break up regardless of WW2? As our colonies developed their own societies and with that ambition and aspirations they were always going to give us the elbow?

It seems fashionable now for people to sully his memory and destroy his character, especially amongst a number of the millenials. The same youngsters who would be living in a occupied one party state, with no freedom of speech or basic democracy, had it not been for Churchill's stance in WW2.

To be honest, I'd watch us play in Europe next season with Michael Mahoney-Johnson and Stafford Browne up top. Nothing lasts forever, we've just got to enjoy it whilst its here.

I still get dewey eyed when I think of the day we sent Ashley Neal back to Liverpool.

There you go Bozza, not all my NSC threads aren't productive :)

Loosen up old love, if us old blokes can't get all dewie eyed about a Chinese firework, a switchblade and a French gash mag, where are we heading?:)

Are they still illegal? Or does anything go in 21st century Britain? The obligatory school day trip Newhaven-Dieppe usually involved some fresh faced youth buying French bangers or if you were a real rebel a flick knife. On our trip in July 1976 a mate, who was flush, or as flush as a 12 year...
