Historical dislike of Chelski
Abraham Romanovich replied to Marina's Rolls Royce's topic in Football Chat
In complete agreement, They still talk about being 3-0 down to Rotherham after 13 minutes before losing 6-0. -
"I read the news today, oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all" For those following NTTDS advice to stop off at Darwen prior to kick off, why not make a day of it and count potholes to verify if the Beatles lyrics were factually correct. I for one would be fascinated.

Classic ITV coverage. 'Imagine' is played over the tannoy, both sets of players come together for a group photo, tears in the crowd, genuinely moving. And they cut to a commercial break.

Use to sit behind him in the Atyeo as you say always in shorts. Every time our paths crossed from then always time for a chat . Remember when we played West Ham in the cup in 2015 we were both watching the players arrive and he was telling JET's mother to tell her son to use his physical presence to deal with Andy Carrol in the air. Lovely bloke. talk the back legs off a donkey RIP

I've just had an email from Tesco about my home delivery. Owing to weather-related problems at their distribution centre, they may have to substitute my chicken fillets with a spicy German sausage. Not a lot I can do except hope for the breast but expect the wurst.

Surely an oversight but no mention of Jimmy Armfield. -

Grand Funk Railroad or perhaps Manhattan Transfer Strictly speaking Manhattan Transfer was not a train. However it was a railroad facility. Between 1910 and sometime in the 1930’s, Manhattan Transfer was where Pennsylvania Railroad passenger and mail trains switched from steam to electric power for the run under the Hudson River into Penn Station in midtown Manhattan. There was and may still be a jazz vocal group called Manhattan Transfer. After the 1930’s the line was electrified all the way from New York City to Washington DC (and Harrisburg PA for westbound trains) and Manhattan Transfer was no longer needed.

If we are in a bit of a pickle with our finances rest assured that a lot of other clubs will be far worse off. It is a buyers market and there is bound to be some golden opportunities I only hope our recruitment team have identified some potential stars from the lower leagues. A few more Albert Adomah 's wouldn't be a bad start to the new year

Benarousian Rhapsody by the ghost of Freddie Mercury
Abraham Romanovich replied to Curr Avon's topic in Football Chat
After scoring the only goal of the game v Palace, the scorer was asked with which foot did he score with. RIGHT said Fred ! -
Just seen this story from the Bristol Post https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bomb-squad-called-gloucestershire-royal-6298076 Let's be honest who amongst us hasn't tripped and ended with a mortar shell up their 'arris

20-0. Sounds like a decent opening partnership.

Stood on the Shelf ,saw him score the winning goal at Tottenham in 1971 as Arsenal clinched the title in the last match of the season. Vivid memories of that game as arrived at the ground at 2.30 for a 7.30 kick off and absolutely heaving.

The current Bristol City in a nutshell, unsure as to whether laugh or cry.

Another piece of footballing terminology that has crept in!! Gone are the days of a nippy winger, a big man up front, and the all important clogger. My understanding, is to avoid having a striker playing in the recognised role of a traditional "No.9 " who would typically play right up against the back 4, primarily to engage the centre-backs. With the false 9, a player will drop deeper or into any number of positions meaning the Centre-backs have to decide whether to follow, leaving spaces or to stay, leaving a player unmarked creating an overload for the opposition midfield. It seems to work best with midfielders running from deep to fill the holes left by the false 9, making them more difficult to pick up. This is where it differs a little from a simple case of a No.9 dropping deep t get the ball e.g. Harry Kane. My view is that a false number 9 is a number 9 who does not look like or play like Bob Latchford, Bobby Smith or Ron Davies and is stealing a living.

I was surprised we had a game plan.

Barnsley matchday playlist request
Abraham Romanovich replied to shahanshahan's topic in Football Chat
One would hope rather than a generic list of people's favourites the final compilation is heavily weighted towards Bristol and its musical heritage . As others have said the Dreadnought song is well worth an airing. That said this needs consideration -
Just for clarification do you mean hare pie. Having just googled hair pie a term I admit I have never heard of, let's just say this seems the most appropriate response.

No UK-born babies were named Nigel in 2020, according to ONS*. The Farage effect? or is big Nige a relic from a bygone age, no Wayne's either but Oliver is the most popular https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...dandwales/2020 Strange how you can almost guess a person's age by their first name. * Apparently 1 or 2 might have been. Min 3 required to show on official records.
