where's the joy Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 if, if if we could paraphrase one of the most famous pieces of sports commentary of all time (a rather excited Bjorge Lillelien of Norway) we might be reacting to Bristol City's 2-1 defeat of Man City in Manchester on 9 January 2018: "Lord Lucan, Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee, Rodney Marsh, Sheik Yamanee, Sergio Aguero, Colin Bell, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, etc, vi har slatt dem alle sammen, vi har slatt dem alle sammen [we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all]. Pep Guardiola, can you hear me? Pep Guardiola? Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!" and remember who gave you your finest 2 players 'Feed the Goat', and 'He's here, he's there, he's every chuffing where' we can but dream COY mighty Reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a barber at the bottom of Kingsmead in Bath who had one style and one style only. Fortunately, my mother sent me off to see a bloke called Bruno - an Italian hairdresser of some repute in Bath.

wendyredredrobin Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm sure, if my memory serves me correctly that Eddie Large is a Man City fan. I do see him once or twice a week so if I see him before Tuesday, I may have a word with him. I'm not aware that Alvin Stardust, alias Shane Fenton had anything to do with Bristol.

He doesn’t, You missed the joke. Green Cross Code Man was Dave Prowse of course, but as I’d already mentioned Darth Vader, I jokingly responded to Green Cross Code comment, because Alvin Stardust also did the adverts.
