Port Said Red Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 6 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: The title of one of my favourite records from the 1970s, by Racing Cars. Late one night a few years ago, I saw on late TV there was a film of the same name, starring Jane Fonda, I think, though I could be wrong - it was a few years ago. Thinking the Cars record was probably the sound track, l decided to watch it out of curiosity. The film was crap and there was no appearance of my song! I think you have a minority view there, it was voted one of the films of that decade and has a rating of 7.9/10 on IMDB. Also it received 9 Oscar nominations in a period thaat the Oscars had a bit more meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Yes we came up against some pretty nasty characters, that year in the cup. Stan flashman, would have been the biggest. King of the touts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 If barnet lost, kneecapping threats, were not uncommon. I dont think mr flashman would have passed the fit and proper test of chairmen today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might rent out parking on my drive at £10 per car for that one - £40 beer money for doing nothing would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every ones a winner and yes why not cash in by renting your drive out if it's a possibility! Fantastic draw for us and a little payback for the new owner who has has to pick up all the sh*t Power left us in and let's be honest we're probably going tombe given a football lesson on the pitch whatever team they put out but it's better to play a class team than just dream about them even if we do get hammered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I watched it late at night, probably back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and just found it very slow and long-winded: it would have been more gracious had I said I didn't like the film much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, there are many other examples Looking at the FA Cup's last five editions: Morecambe: Chelsea last season, Tottenham this one. Rotherham: Everton, then Manchester City. Then Lincoln (vs Everton), Middlesbrough, Wimbledon, Tranmere & Marine (vs Tottenham), Stoke, Fleetwood & Wigan (vs Leicester), Shrewsbury & Plymouth (vs Liverpool), Port Vale (vs Manchester City), Reading x2 & Derby (vs Manchester United), Preston, Blackpool & Leeds (vs Arsenal), Norwich (Chelsea). Not to mention League Cup's early draws: Burton-Liverpool, Chelsea-Bristol Rovers,Everton-Yeovil, Everton-Rotherham, Leicester-Fleetwood, Everton-Salford, Man City-Preston, Leyton-Tottenham, Luton-Man Utd, Chelsea-Barnsley, Manchester City-Bournemouth, Lincoln-Liverpool, etc. The best option we had was...Aston Villa one time?

ExiledAjax Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) BBC/ITV games as follows: FA Cup third-round televised games Friday, 7 January Swindon v Manchester City, 20:00 kick-off - live on ITV1 Saturday, 8 January Millwall v Crystal Palace, 12:45 - live on ITV1 Hull City v Everton, 17:30 - live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer Sunday, 9 January West Ham United v Leeds United, 14:15 - live on ITV1 Nottingham Forest v Arsenal, 17:15 - live on ITV1 Monday, 10 January Manchester United v Aston Villa, 19:55 - live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer It's a pretty drab selection IMO. Only one team from below the Championship, and none of the non-league sides, on TV is pretty poor IMO. Two all-Prem games as well, whoopy. A real shame that Liverpool v Shrewsbury, Spurs v Morecombe or Chelsea v Chesterfield couldn't have been chosen ahead of Hull v Everton or West Ham v Leeds?

I'm really happy and hoping that city play quite a few young players along with a few named ones as once they get in the groove it could end up embarrassing but hopefully we at least give a good account of ourselves. i will be really lucky to get a spare ticket as season ticket holders, mini season ticket purchasers (a bundle of six games) and supporters that have been to the most home games with the highest amount of points will be given priority which is fair enough.

Ah fair, much like our League Cup games in 2017/18 then. Assumed you might be an ST holder. At least it's on the tele. This was their 3rd round team last season, against Championship Birmingham. I expect Pep will play a fair few of the big players tbh, he tends to take the cups quite seriously. Enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around 14,500 if you leave the corner of the Stratton bank empty but there talk that they may give City the whole end which would then make it around 15,000 which we got in a pre season against Liverpool a few seasons ago. What's ironic is you guys would get more tickets if we played you in a league game than Man City will get for this match if they get 15% of the capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
