If we can loan him back to them for 6 months, then yes.

Missing the point there, Soup

They're missing their centre half, at the business-end of the season. Man City have struggled without their first choice cbs in the past, and Liverpool are mediocre now Van Dijk is merely average. What is they say about defences and League titles?

Let's start with 1980 - 1983, no-one's suffered more than that

Do yer own research.

Ok. Chas or Dave?

You're playing RWB next time

Yeah, and both left early, so proper Dolmen the pair of them.

Have we ever played QPR the same day/time Brechin are playing Queen's Park?

Well done, Leyton Orient. The other night.

It's probably just me but: Ships on club badges and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper envelopes tied up with string, Etc, etc.

It only takes a second to score a goal (Source: B. Clough, 1978), so that's 50 seconds - less than one minute - scoring goals, in 193 matches (193 x 90 minutes = hours and hours. Days, probably). Therefore, we can conclude: Andi spends most of his time, when he's not pointing, running around. Hours and hours, of just running around.

All Nick Hornby's fault.

Or was it the bowler?

55,000 peeps mate. Some posh, some middle-for-diddle, some salt-of-the-earth tatts n lager n betting shop n junk food types.

Oh, ok. Not "the batsman's Willey" ?

If we get to 10,000 I will bare my h'arse in Burton's changing rooms as I try on a new pair of chinos for my forthcoming vacation.

How delightful to see Chelsea craning their obnoxious necks as they look up the table at Brentford (ffs!), Fulham (!) and Brighton, and Liverpool right in amongst those three, doing their best to rise above them. How sobering to recall the years we were competing with Brentford, Fulham and Brighton at both the level we are now, and the one below.

Are we going to love bomb Geoff this evening? Are we going to make the effort to actually pick up the phone for once later and bombard Radio Local, inundate the switchboard, and demand to be put through to Geoff to tell him how much we remember him as a somewhat slow and cumbersome long-ball merchant who got a bit lucky playing as high as Division 2 have appreciated his measured coverage and Paxman-esque grilling of Sleepy Steve and Slimy Ashton? And how we will miss him? Will we ****

As has been said before, it is not our budget or our wages that have determined our failure to reach the play-offs, it is the two or three people at the very top making the most important decisions that have failed to be up to the task, and have indeed had "their pants pulled down" by yer Lutons, yer Millwalls, yer 'uddersfied, and yer bloody Prestons. "But look at Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, Ipswich, Sunderland" cried many on here, betraying their Little-Bristolian/loser/can't-do-mentality by using failing, basket-case clubs to measure our "success" by. We have enough wedge. We need enough nous. And a little bit of luck, such as a season where two of the three relegated clubs are in a bit of a muddle. Then we can finish above Preston again. One likes to think....

What about your lad? Who will sit with him?

Joe Royle's stands out then, being the only one above third tier standard. And unlikely to be ever matched or beaten, I tentatively suggest?

That was Justin, I believe

"Get yer tits out for the lads," is gender politics mate.

I went to 5 away games in 85/6, and every away game in 88/9, and Newport in '82, so I should be ok. That bloke that's done a thousand consecutive on Cats, he should be ok too.
