    Thing is @Robbored you’ve not answered my question.

    I think you’ve jumped to what I think is a stereotypical assumption. Wherever he was born he’s declared himself as Turkish. That must therefore make him a Muslim and must therefore mean he has the views that you’ve stated.

    My barber is from Afghanistan. He looks Turkish. He asked me once where I thought he came from. We had a good cultural chat.

    He told me he was a Muslim and didn’t drink. But he loved living in the UK. I asked him why. His reply?

    Because I like having jiggy jiggy with your English ladies. But I don’t tell my dad as he wouldn’t like that.

    You see? Not everything is as straightforward as you might believe.

    Now. If only I could find that wonderful emoji you like to use so much…..

    Enjoy the game later ?

    I've not heard of that drug where do you get it from?

    I was convinced that a defender would stop the Walshy shuffle (but they never did) 

    I was sure we were getting to the league cup final in 1989 (until Walshy hit the post at the end of normal time; we lost in extra time)

    I was convinced we would beat Rovers at Trumpton in 1990 and win the championship (but we lost 3-0 and also gave the championship to them)

    I was sure we were going to beat Brighton in the play-off final in 2004 (and was gutted when we didn’t)

    I thought the East End was the east end until they built the South Stand. 

    you and me both.

    That makes it read like Clough scored 471 goals…he didn’t!

    That was his total.

    I think the other thing is that all bar one came in the second flight.

    Looking at that 

    he got injured 1962-63

    missed the promotion season

    manged just 3 games before retiring

    all bar 1 goal was before I was born and I don't remember it.

    Think you are a bit harsh on what could be considered a good career "Young Man"

    Look it’s like I said earlier if you can show me west end show or a top live band where the tickets are under £50 let alone watching the English champions the let I know , people choose their seats because it’s the best they can afford well if your centre of lansdown and it’s £35 a game to watch Rotherham then surely you expect to pay £15 more for Manchester City it’s a bit like watching the Wurzels or oasis

    why would you look at waterhole in the  Deseret?

    He does, at Uni currently so not the highest standard he'll ever play, but still loves his football. Funnily enough the lad of the worst parent I have encountered in football (worst by a country mile too) who knew more, knew everything, hasn't played a single game of football since leaving the Academy he was at aged 16. Crying shame because the kid was a very good player ruined by his old man.

    Tell him to play for fun , because at some part of his life his yard of pace will go (if he goes to find his and its near mine ,tell him to use it as I didn,t)

    Obviously no one Massengo wants to go to has made an offer. IMO not one of the ones referred to by Gould. 
     

    if an offer comes in from now on in and Massengo fancies it I’ll drive him/fly him myself

    do you have a license to take a fare paying player are you fit to fly and land at night  do yo know where france is?

    You might laugh at the tickets being handwritten, but they worked. I would be interested to know what people could suggest as an alternative with no IT, internet or printer with very short notice?

    chop the head off a chicken

    To be fair everything including each turnstile is throughly tested before EVERY match. However like most businesses and homes nowadays they rely heavily on internet/technology and if this goes belly up just about everything is affected. believe me they are as frustrated as anyone

    See my post above

    whats belly up?

    The wages and transfer fees we were paying - from the time we started shopping at Chelsea onwards - were completely unsustainable for a club our size. Unless every year we made massive profits on transfers by selling our best players. Again, completely unsustainable and complete madness. 

    That's the main reason for our financial problems.

    Covid just accelerated the time it took for the shit to hit the fan, for our day of reckoning to arrive. 

    Mark Ashton has a lot to answer for, as do the people who let him get away with it. 

    ah airplane great film

    I’ve tried to forget about him. There was an interesting thread in 2016 about his transfer, mainly about the purported £500k paid to his agent. Plus, in true OTIB fashion, the claim that his agent was Gary Johnson! 
     

    sadly he wasn't truly Scrumptious
