  1. Mathie's goal is in my top10
  2. Supermac. Moved to Berwick in 73 (from Bensham) and didn't get to see them live until 1976. Teacher, and Burnley scout, Mr. Wilf Renton took a load of us kids down to the Man City game. We won 2-1 and McDonald scored. We were in the paddock as it happens. Tremendous experience. Gutted when we sold him. Also loved Nattress, McFaul and Hibbert. Tbf when I read kids slagging off our players and think back to my youth and doing my "fantasy 11" it makes me laugh. I could hardly bring myself to drop any of them. As for other teams players, I liked Geoff McNulty, Leighton James, Willie Pettigrew (fucking Sportscene was all we got). Over the years I always liked Brooking, Currie, Latchford, Worthington then really admired Steve Bull.
  3. Or crusty spunk from viewing his screenshot collection of "Rate My Plate"
  4. Iconic moment and a rare fill-up during the Ashley abyss. Definitely needs a homecoming visit on a matchday. Hopefully wearing a "Fuck Ashley" T-shirt
  5. The only data Wood haters need to take note of is where we were in the league in December and where we ended up.
  6. He hasn't been a failure tho. Similar to a few other members of the squad labelled as shite, by the Gameboy boys, he was part of a team that turned its form on its head. Best dressing room most of them appear to have been in. It worked. The whole pie.
  7. Especially if you know your algebra whereby, if that works and is constant having a primary without variables using the hyposis that an equation is the equality of two expressions then if.... Gerrard - Rafe = Longstaff. then Longstaff + Rafa = Gerrard Maybees that's why Man U wanted him for £50 big ones
  8. Tbf that sounds like Albert. Conan was bald.
  9. Some canny Youtube vids featuring old geezers living off grid. Jock one's the best. I've mentioned before I'm a retired Fm and we used to get turned out all the time in the middle of the night because a local homeless bloke used to start fires to keep warm. Albert was his name. Mad as a box of frogs but hard as nails with it. Was kipping in a derelict building down the quayside for a while and fucking doo-gooders would ring in when they saw smoke billowing out the windows. He had some canny braziers on the go like Last time I saw him he'd been persuaded to go into a halfway house/shelter on Scrogg Rd. Didn't recognise him, sober, shaven and cleaned up. Him not me. He was a menace but ok with us. I remember another one. Huge, huge fella. Used to push a shopping trolley, shirtless, around town filling it up with empty cans he collected. Conan The Barbarian, we nicknamed him. Best of all was this other tramp. Big scruffy fat cunt who used to beg for food outside the pizza place opposite the station and keep kebabs he's chored in his pockets. Became manager at Newcastle United, they say ;_)
  10. Murphy and Fraser 2v1 against Arsenal? THAT direct?
  11. When I did my cruciates (both knees, separate times) I did loads of physio at the Freeman. They put tape on my knee AND hamstrings. I'm fit as a fucking lop still ????
  12. Us offering to buy him then dropping out due to a pulled hammy is less cuntish than buying him, flying him over at night with a blind pilot, crashing to their deaths THEN refusing to cough up, yeah?
  13. It's Man Shitty's owners that are into the horses, no? Sure Maktoum owns Godolfin etc etc. Just had a multi million squid beef with his ex iirc.
  14. He doesn't seem the type to have ever been in one tbf
  15. Just watched his vid. "....best dressing room I've ever been in...."
  16. Ah kna. Nearly as bad as Schar, when they were asked "what was YOUR season highlight?" replying "signing me new contract"
  17. That's done it for me like. Been to the gym, had the hound out, gonna sit and watch NUTV vids for the rest of the morning ps Bruno there man, love the kid
  18. I wouldn't like to go on holiday with a few of the kids on here. Whining full kit wankers
  19. As, rightly, pointed out by the majority of people this signing is a no brainer. It's not like we're instantly going to have full backs charging past their wingers every 5 minutes. Both able to relax their defensive responsibilities because the CBs are worldies. We ain't Liverpool ?
  20. I get, after the backlash, the gvt said a few nice things about how bad an idea it was but prior to that they were all for it. Christ Koko even said that, as a free market capitalist, why would he not be all for it? UEFA's in on it as well as the Premier League. Absolutely no punishment metered out, in fact they've been rewarded with "free" ECL spots. As for these clubs clawing back their billions via PPV they will still see the only way of maximising that particular revenue would be via a closed wider league. I suspect, ESL or no ESL, these clubs want to control their own tv revenue anyways.
