  1. That starts Friday if the Tories get in. Oops, politics - not allowed - sorry.
  2. We can hardly complain about the ref's failure to play advantage, they had a great break which he brought back to book Furman - Tilson was rightly doing his nut.
  3. Good job they didn't bring that ginger sub on earlier we might have lost.
  4. The Millwall aren't good travellers line is comedy gold in its own right.
  5. Signed new 1 year deal at Yernited. File under inevitable.
  6. Brill has dropped some howlers for sure but the one area where he has really contributed, and it's a massively under rated part of the goalkeeping art, is organising those in front of him. He's very vocal and the defence looks much better organised when he plays hence the stats. If he could cut out the howlers and line up a wall he'd be a very decent keeper.
  7. Darlo fans loved him and would have him back in a heartbeat. They were wrong like.
  8. It has to be said his debut goal at B***tard Rovers was a thing of beauty - picked the ball up on the half way line left wing, went past two men cut in and lashed it from an impossible angle inside the far post - of such things are legend made.
  9. Call me Mr Picky but if Leeds have "not offered him nothing" that means they have offered something doesn't it? Almost certainly more than us.
  10. Loads of memories, two stand out. 1. An 30yard screamer in the 90th minute to win at Ewood Park always helps in achieving Latics legend status - Grovesy managed it. 2. Blackpool away - getting kicked off the park by a full back who just couldn't live with him. Grovesy waited till he knew the ref was watching then chinned him. Didn't even wait for the ref to send him off just set off walking. As Jimmy Friz said when he passed away "The game of football is ill equipped to cope with the loss of Alan Groves" - One legend's view of another.
  11. Leeds, Derby or us - that's one understated unlikely right there.
  12. Presumably in a similar vein Gary Ablett has warned his players to expect nothing new whatsoever from the shot shy bunch of has beens and never will be's his team is facing tonight.
  13. I'll be making the 100 mile round trip to be throughly depressed - wouldn't miss it for the world.
  14. Don't know how many of you remember Kevin Moore the centre half signed from Grimsby for a short period before being sold on to Southampton after we lost to Leeds in the play offs and failed to go up. He was immense in those play off games particularly. I've just found out that he's suffering from severe dementia at the age of 51 and is in need of 24 hour care. Sad news about a real warrior.
  15. Whisper it, but us older ones can even remember the time they got to the final - they got beaten of course, or as they never tire of reminding anybody who'll listen, cheated out of it.
  16. We should ask about that Colin Bell - he looks a prospect in midfield.
  17. Sacked by Chester already - where next for the great man.
  18. Try the Euston Flyer - got them to put an Everton game on last year when in there with my Everton supporting mate much to the consternation of the spurs contingent who wanted their game on. They obviously realised that we would likely drink much more than half a dozen shandy drinkers - apologies for regional stereotyping* *not really
  19. Cheers - programme thing is correct you had to buy one outside the ground to gain admittance. Sunday game ended 2-2, replay at BP was 3-3 and 2nd replay at City Ground Nottingham we won 2-1. I went to all 3 thus missing 2 days of school - the BP replay was played midweek afternoon due to power cuts - happy days.
  20. This fixture was the first professional game ever played on a Sunday I believe. 1 of 4 played that day but this one kicked off at 11am. For mundane reasons I would like to know what the crowd was, can anybody help? I was one of them!
  21. Not as far back as Porter though. That team wouldn't have gone up, the midfield's not good enough.
  22. it's true he failed a medical at Leeds - problem between the chest and groin - he couldn't stomach the thought of playing for them
  23. WBA have made a move for Beckford now so perhaps we can chuck in COG andc call it 2mil
