  1. of course the way we handled the Final this year will guarantee it, no coked up nutters, no ticket problems, no security issues, all felt really safe! Unless all games are played in Ireland, Wales and Scotland with England being used as a car park it's going to be a hard sell. And then there's the Northern Ireland issue that could well see the UK breaking its agreement.
  2. 2000 eh! Strange, a poor deluded soul, who's son plays rugby with my boy, told me there were 3,500 at Rochdale yesterday. So only 1,500 locked out, quite a drop in travelling numbers. You'd have thought the usual 25,000 would have gone up for this one!
  3. My memories are of very old rolling stock, beer cans and quarter bottles of scotch, smashed windows coming out of Cardiff, overflowing bogs, lads in luggage racks, running through stations and laughter. A great adventure when you were a teenager, not so sure I'd enjoy the experience so much now. Never saw a disco on any special I went on, or dancing!
  4. I have one eye permanently facing back waiting for that day
  5. The Lansdown of course, but I got my East and West muddled, that will teach me to try and be clever!?
  6. That would not fill the East Stand with room for segregation and a specialist fancy dress restraint unit. However, I'm not sure the surrounding area could cope with the 500,000 locked out!
  7. Never go back Lee, especially to AG. You were average as a player, we are still saddled with your "coach" legacy and the metaphors, simile, cliché and pure gobbledygook of your press statements and interviews have left me scarred for life! You need a new challenge(radio pundit should not be on your list following Saturday's attempt) several hundred miles away from Bristol!
  8. Freeman did well in League one in the face of some seriously average defences, having several in form strikers (Wibs, Smith, JET and Agard) and wing backs (Bryan/Little) to help him along the way. Was toilet for us in the Championship, kept running around like Dill the Dog from the Herbs
  9. The same as I have approached every season since 1968, with little expectation, knowing there's a 90% chance of disappointment, but hoping for that 10% chance of success. A bit like playing a fruit machine really!
  10. Back in what day were there unwritten rules? not in the late 60's and 70's, unless the whole end were in on the defend/attempt to take said end, the general public joined in the mass rampages up and down streets and wearing a scarf meant you were prepared to take someone else's! I certainly did not ask to be pushed about or hit/kicked whilst seated in the Dolman, attacked outside of away grounds, pelted with missiles and caught up in the middle of running battles outside of AG/countless away grounds in the 80's and 90's. I doubt this was uncommon for the regular supporter who was not a member of a firm or looking for trouble. The "only dancing with those that want to dance" BS came out of the football hooligan fiction factory after Steaming In was published to try and make the author ***** appear as folk heroes rather than knobs!
  11. The reason I put glory days in parentheses was to indicate irony, not an indication that I believe the days of football violence were glorious. to make that clear- HEY KIZ, FOOTBALL RELATED VIOLENCE IS NOT BIG AND IT’s NOT CLEVER….unlike an elephant with a non-honorary doctorate
  12. As a 60 something who witnessed the "glory days" of the late 60's, 70's and 80's I find it hilarious to see the same old, and I mean old, faces decked out for action...Burberry cap hiding hairless pate or ridiculous hair style making the most of what little they have, Stone Island XXL (or knock off) outerwear, tightly stretched Fred Perry, baggy jeans (alas, those skin tight Lois Jeans will not contain the spread of age) and Samba/Bamba trainers(not the best footwear for aged fallen arches). Victims of magical thinking, self-generated ever expanding legend( as witnessed on this very forum or overheard in the pub), low self-esteem and self-focused masking ego. Sad escapees from their own reality, fuelled by poor quality cocaine and booze. I'd feel sorry for them if they just stuck to dressing up and lying, but no, these little men have to demonstrate their dwindling prowess by disturbing the personal space of others with their mindless acts of vandalism, foul mouths, aggressive posturing and calculated acts of violence against victims who will not or cannot respond. Sad, irresponsible, selfish B'stards!
  13. Actually, I thought Fatty James was supposed to be covering right too, given the massive space him and Bell gave to Birmingham in the build up to the first goal! Could have grazed 10 cows in it! let’s be honest, once Pring came on it all changed
  14. Bless him, he was constantly out of position, couldn’t beat an egg, tackle, select a pass or cross consistently yesterday. I don’t think Semenyo’s positional play would have made any difference
  15. Knew his grandmother and auntie, saw him play when he was a kid, amazing player then. As an Oxford Utd youth he was a cut above, watched him play at the old Westminster College grounds many a time. He loved Oxford, the club and the city, and was a lovely lad. Such a shame for his family and friends - RIP Joey
  16. I remember being it the same position here one Christmas...we kept Johnson, same result....indeed, look what he left us, admittedly we also had Ashton helping him!
  17. Well, yes in the 70's and early 80's that was true, however, little wraps of white powder can be bought well in advance and consumed in a short space of time....pubs taken out of the equation
  18. I thought the Cardiff Fans that tried to fight the traffic on the Portway and Coronation Rd entry slip were rock hard. equally, 50 to 60 year old city fans in all the gear, posturing on the park wall were as hard. Both groups, looked ridiculous and, had they engaged with the object of their aggression, My prediction is they’d have come off worse. proof that cocaine does not promote good choice management
  19. Self-govern, you fell for that, what exactly did we not self-govern then….? examples, trade deals maybe, I mean, who exactly is being trampled by the rush….I too remember the days prior to the EU….very black and white it was
  20. In fairness, Brexit was his ticket to number 10…he is living proof that there are a lot of stupid people in this country that believe bull shit and do not check facts and think the man’s a totally useless, as he was at Uni
  21. So do I, it absolutely concurs with everything I witnessed on the day, perhaps slightly underplayed if truth be told! I left the ground somewhat relieved that Italy had won…because I was very worried that many would not be safe if we had… Certainly the Wembley staff were
  22. Andy Cole was an out and out striker, he scored 12 in 29 games in a not very good team, look how very average Bob Taylor was in that team, I think he scored 8 post promotion.... I don't think out and out strikers are luxury players, if they score! same could be said of Lineker, Defoe, Phillips, Greaves etc, they rarely strayed inside of their own half
