Yard Dog

As soon as the first punch is thrown, both fighters will completely block out all the pre fight stuff...but I do think it must have an effect, positively and/or negatively, on their state of mind during the camp. Froch looked relieved after the first fight, rattled at Wembley when the fight was announced with the push etc, and really moody on the ringside special earlier this month...but I think he came out of the programme the other night a bit better, if only because Groves was being a bigger cock than he was being. Can't wait for the fight. Can't call it at all, and not too bothered who wins. Just hope its a really good fight with no controversy and that the best man wins.

Socialist flags ok with me too....just no megaphones, flares and bog roll please.

Remember spotting Haining in the toilets at Nemesis, possibly around 99/00..? Pretty sure he was youth team on verge of breaking thru. He was smashed and tried to deny who he was.....

Was racking my brains then thinking 'Abbot ? eh...can't remember him...am I getting Alzheimer's? '....then I looked at your sig....

Always enjoyed the daily coverage you get with the Chron, and it's improved a lot since Matt took over. His match reports are really good reads, and he seems to be able to get interesting interviews. That said, Mike is as good in his own way and does seem to be getting the scoops.

Couldnt imagine being in a different country to my kids. Hope it all works out for you.

Loads of odd spare seats. 1300 about right.

Meet the Squatters (2016) We meet the last two Chadderton Road End season ticket holders Diego Sideburns, Dave Ragg and their friend 'Swampy' - currently living in tunnels under the tuck shop in their fight to stop the proposed demolition from going ahead.

I believe a Bradford style offer could have worked for us around 2006 - 08, but attendances and interest and on-field performance have dropped too far now.

Can I play lead guitar (just need a guitar)?

24hrs at Fratton Park last year

I might dive out in front of one and then sprint down the middle of the road chasing a few others whilst wearing my cycling shorts....that's what you do innit when you go watching it, if you're not throwing tacks, nails and pins into the road from behind a bush.

Probably right. Been before when we had the end behind goal and some of the side stand...back when we truly did have top away support.

Why aren't you the fan on the board?

Wonder if the club would allow those with Chaddy End STs who wish to move to make the move now

Dan Rafael says on Twitter that Stevenson has moved from HBO to Showtime for more money....which makes it unlikely he'll fight Kovalev any time soon. That's what's :censored: about boxing.

I'm not all that bothered about how successful we are. A good day out is what I want. Some people might get that from watching nice football....me, I'd prefer us to be playing fast, attacking, exciting and winning football, of course....but the atmosphere probably matters more to me. I find it boring going watching us at the min hence why I'm being a :censored: fan and finding excuses to give it a miss.

I think you're being too nice on him ! DeGale got beat off an unfancied Groves and then toiled away against some average opponents. That's why he went off the radar. He's had to be more humble in front of the camera over the last year or two as he's on a PR rebuilding campaign, but it's not hard to find him videos and twitter :censored: of him being the same old nob end he is.

Going up on the train from Dale for our game, but Odsall's a bit of distance from Valley parade isn't it?

Knock the Chaddy down...with all the miserable beggars in it.

Be interesting to know how long it did take to build your average late 19th / early 20th century Oldham cotton mill - amazing feats really considering the lack of heavy machinery, mechanical equipment, :censored:e weather, difficult terrain....all brick construction as well, with plenty of little detail in the elevations and a big :censored: off chimney to boot. Bet they didn't mess about in them days.
