We have lots of fans in the East Midlands due to people moving down for work in their coalfields in the 70s / 80s.

Lentini a great shout. Decent article on him here: https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/03/23/the-unfulfilled-career-of-record-breaker-gianluigi-lentini/

100% agree. By not playing games at 3pm you are actually encouraging the loons on both sides to get mortal. It's the same as dry trains on the way back from away games - the committed will always find a way

Currently shut until Feb tho - as previous owner and the north kenton / fawdon radge packets had it under constant watch from the polis. Not the best place for an illicit rendezvous when vans are getting torched outside

NP are fkin useless, assuming this is true of course. Ignoring the match going fan wanting a drink before the stupidly early coaches they're hurting the livelihood of a business who have a lot of early punters. Love the Bulls me.

the bond scheme proved that in a court of law.

mate and ill Be on the 3 bulls for just after 10am getting a few menders. Love Boxing Day. It’s the best time to kick off imho can be back out hopefully celebrating by 2.30

hahaha fkin clowns

It was before my time - but the YT videos are class

I was at the 1994 game - very emotional at the end but you're right generally underwhelming. If I am not mistaken this was also the last game the Kop was a terrace - it became all seating following season. I was 13 - but had grown up with Liverpool winning everything and thought they were entitled then....

The first thing I do in the morning is have a trip down memory lane with the in this day section. I think Niall snd Biffaxare good lads and unlike a lot of content that’s produced to get a reaction they present quite a mature sober outlook / commentary on both performances abd wfats going in at the club with little hyperbole. FWIW they’re both canny lads and started this as a labour of love not to self publicise or get rich off the back of it.

The Monaco results was inevitable - they were a very, very good side - in addition to those you mention they had Grimandi, Legwinski, Benarbia, Djetou - nearly every player was a full French International supported by a couple of Brazilians - and John Collins who to be fair was a fine and underrated midfielder - the only Jock who'd have got in England's squad at that time. Given our lack of success and pretty turgid football bar a few years under Keegan (round 1) and Robson (2nd year) we've stuck by those Manager's we have respected and looked like they were trying to move the club forward. We've been quicker in recent years to turn on players who appear to be swinging the lead. As has been pointed out the internet is not representative (imho) of the engaged fanbase.

London away games have been a poorer atmosphere (than say aways in Yorkshire / NW / Midlands ) since the mid 90s in my experience.. plenty of reasons for this but it's true. I think Chelsea will be different. The 2006 FA Cup match at Stamford bridge was one of the best away atmospheres in my experience despite being 1-0 down since the 5th minute.

I think Klopp would swap too tbf

Bring back the aliens in the NTL Newcastle shirts

Not even the best player on his own family ?

Graham Potter spotted in Ryhope chippy earlier marra

He talks some sense but is one of the most irritating people I’ve seen. Has that awful scenty bottle accent too.

Boatloads of drink, shitloads of prescription drugs and methadone dependency don’t tend to be the best stimulants to enhance fighting performance haha. FWIW i used to drink down shields Road regularly years ago and went back a couple of Saturdays ago for an afternoon session - it’s a good laugh and most of the butchers / Jackson’s / Raby / Grace regulars are characters who it’s easy to sneer at but are content with life and each others company. Most are nowt like the idiots in that “brawl” that went viral. id 100% rather have an afternoon down there than in Livello or the likes.

Few of the lads working the night shift on the qashqai assembly were belting this out on Wednesday night tbf …

Aye prob think I’ve only paid £50 for the sayson and there’s overtime available on line 2, fk garn t’the match marra

proud dad moment at Chelsea when my 8 year old started “Southgate’s right sterling’s shite”!! Unfortunately for them Paris is a lads only trip - I’ll get them a tobelerone from duty free !!
