Carroll was close to world class during those 6 months. Which seems crazy and random thinking back now.

It's always a funny argument or comparison that because ignoring 20 plus goals of Shearer's seems weird, but at the same time if you ignore the re-brand then it's Jimmy Greaves that would be getting talked about.

Just checked the score for the first time on Livescore to see if Kane had managed a goal ...

Merry Christmas to all you good people! Grateful for this community, and that we've made it another year : lol:

Skeletor's bants ripped apart!

It's abused way too much. Most keepers take the absolute piss when their team is in the lead, but then why not, given that it's never really enforced. There should be some leeway, sure, for keepers when they are crowded. But you often see keepers hold on for 15-20 seconds.

Wilf... That's even worse. Straight from the same list as Bort that one.

15 years, holy fuck. My dad had to go out for a walk after they brought it back to 2-2. Luckily he was back in time

Kermit Erasmus What a totally mental name, had never heard of him.

"rememberancing"

Who mentioned the Royal Family? Surely by your logic that if we dislike something that we pay taxes toward we should seek employment in another country? The Royal Family is a large part of our history, just like the army There's a big difference between disliking something, and actively hating something and constantly making statements (political or otherwise) about it. Like I said earlier, if he really feels that strongly about it, go and play in another country. He doesn't constantly make statements though and he doesn't actively hate Britain The poppy was brought up by this thread. This is quite the rabbit hole

I totally remember that, was in the papers at the time. Crazy offer. Likewise, remember that. Just shows how huge he was at the time.

Haha, absolutely brutal.

Steven Taylor in Pitcher and Piano this evening.

He was about town today. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba1t0ughmjK/

Oh my god... I had never seen that before! unbelievably perfect.

Ugh. Hopefully they'll be too high up the leagues for him by then.

Says a lot for the quality of football in the area then!

"you'll see just what I mean" The way he says that

Still don't agree with the myth that he didn't work hard for the team when he was out on the pitch. And certainly in comparison to other dross we had out there over the same period. Anyway, that's a whole other thing.

French refs haven't got a clue what's going on.

Ugh, just had the notification for the red card... This sounds like it's typically embarrassing and cringe worthy.

It's all about them pushing the brand. Think the music is used in the international TV coverage. They've gone in really hard on that in the last two seasons. New logos, that bright colour scheme, dropping the sponsor etc... But again, no reason for it to replace any team's entrance song. Silly. If anything the weight of the "brand" lies in the history and traditions of the clubs.

I suppose it's inspired from the Champions League ceremonial. Just seems a shame to have it trample over a club's tradition.

I'm sure that's what he meant. Steve Harper must have told him the tale.
