  1. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL GREALISH FOR ENGLAND.
  2. Assist from someone who shouldn't be on a football pitch too...................
  3. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT MARK BATTENBURG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Everton are dirty clearings in the woods
  5. I think we'll definitely beat West Ham and Burnley at home. Everton is tricky as they're back in form (but then again so are we). Southampton away I'm willing to write off as long as other results go our way. I would love it if Newcastle went down, the look on that fat muppet Ashley's face would be priceless.
  6. Apparently Keith Harris was the only 70s television entertainer who was honest and open about fisting a young bird.
  7. The original early 60s mods also listened to Jamaican ska and rocksteady - forerunners of reggae music,
  8. The term "Northern Soul" was coined by a soul journalist/record shop owner/label owner called Dave Godin. Before that it was just known as soul and R&B music. The original mods had faded out by around 1970 and many had become "hard mods" a sort of forerunner of skinheads. Lots of information out there if you Google it. Of course everyone has their own version of history - ignore everything you read by original Wigan Casino DJ Russ Winstanley, the man's only interested these days in making as much money as he can from the current interest in the music from younger people. The film's not bad but focused too much on the drug taking of the time. A good soul forum is Soul Source at http://www.soul-source.co.uk/ Don't have to be a member to read some of the forums. It can get a bit clique-ish but there's usually someone around who will answer your questions. Not me though, I've only been on the soul scene since the early 90s and couldn't tell you a thing about what it was like in the 70s. Northern soul wasn't just a 70s thing, it never went away when Wigan Casino closed down - it just went underground and venues such as the 100 Club in London, Top Of The World in Stafford and Tony's Empress Ballroom in Blackburn were still packed out every weekend. Rumour has it our very own legend Tony Morley was right into Northern Soul.
  9. LOL City tannoy announcer "thankyou for all your fantastic support today"............ He means thanks for all the prawn sandwiches you've bought.
  10. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A FIGHTBACK!
  11. Not bad considering the poor start. Game is there to be won.
  12. If Tekkers wasn't having an off day, we'd be 2-1 up now...
  13. We've started to knock it about the past few minutes, settling down a little. Not over yet....
  14. Effing hopeless. We're gonna get slaughtered here. Where's the fight from last week???????
  15. I suffer from bi-polar disorder but I try my best to live a full "normal" life. I get stigmatised every day but try to ignore it. I'm not going to kill you or get my willy out in the middle of Asda, I just feel crap in the mornings then high as a kite later in the same day. I get irked by small things, I worry too much about what others think of me, that sort of thing. I take Citalopram 40mg daily and that seems to keep me on an even keel most days but when I forget to take it I can be a moody sod.
  16. Either VP or home for me. Yorkshire Lions can do one. A member just left a sarcastic comment which was basically accusing me of being a glory hunter because I haven't been to the pub to see other games. Well, sometimes people get ill and can't get out and about you know....... Apparently supporting the Villa for 40 years man and boy isn't enough - I should have been in the pub for the last two cup games.........
  17. And that's why I can't afford a Cup Final ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
