Cabbage Patch Kid

It was around this period I binned Shoot in favour of 90 Minutes. That was a great mag for its time. Match was a bit :censored: though, wasn't it?

 

It annoyed me growing up around 1984-1988 that there was hardly any mention of teams other than Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton, Spurs and Arsenal. I remember getting mildly excited about seeing half a picture of Mike Flynn once.

90 minutes. What a magazine that was. Always looked forward to the next installment of 'Damage in the box'. Had a pile of them bout two feet tall. Nearly murdered my mum when I came home one day and discovered she'd binned em.

Took my 3 year old daughter to her 1st game today, she was bored to the point of wanting to go home in the 1st half but when we equalised and BP finally erupted into a decent atmosphere she loved every second of it. New lucky mascot will definitely be going again! On a side note, disappointed that they have now stopped selling beer in the family section. Could have told us at least.

I'll wait until the end of this season. Even though I'm :censored:ing depressed with what's happening this season it's not over yet and a lot can happen.

Gonna guess at goals at home?

At 9.30 this morning there were 1660 tickets still available. I'm a bit deflated by that. Hopefully a win tonight might cause a late surge.

Did the numpty reporter really just apologise to the viewers because David Dunn called Dominic Poleon a "pain in the arse"?

Well he did say he'd had 20 years of having his backside wiped. Maybe Poleon was a bit rough with the bog roll.

The reporter was very impressed the walls had been painted. Due diligence an all that.

I'm just glad we're settling for mid table mediocrity rather than a relegation scrap. Play offs were always just out of our reach. It was nice to feel we had a chance though.

I think I'd leave if I had to see/hear Barry Owen everyday. Who knows what tripe Barry says to him.

Revenge!

I asked the club why it's 1pm and it is to allow fans the chance to watch the England game. Ours is the only fixture moved though. I don't think it's necessary.

My 1st ever post on OWTB goes a little something like this. I watched this game through the window of the maternity ward at the hospital where my mum had that day given birth to my little brother. I begged and begged they called the little brat Frankie. They didn't. Also I always hoped one day I'd be on Question of Sport and the question would be asked who holds the League cup record for most goals in one game? I'd nail it and Ian Botham would high five me. Now I'm sad, mainly because Phil Tufnell is a bit of a tit.
