  1. I think Gabby may score for fun in the Championship next season (let's face it, we're down). Hope I'm right.
  2. Does anyone else think that Lerner is a secret agent for Small Heath? Joking aside, he's systematically destroyed this club and needs to go.
  3. Our lowest league position from 1996 to 2002 was 8th, Hardly downhill. I'd take 8th anyday....
  4. I keep hearing the comment "we're full". I don't know if we are or not, BUT: An idea that came to my mind is to temporarily suspend all non-essential immigration for a while in order to accept more people from war-torn countries who NEED to come over. Where I live there are a lot of people from Eastern Europe. Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles and Romanians. Now, they're welcome of course they are, but maybe put a block on them coming over for while as last time I checked Poland, Latvia et al weren't a living hell on Earth. I hope people can see where I'm coming from on this, I'm not against ANYONE coming over per se but if there is a lack of space then we need to put those people from Syria, Somalia etc first.
  5. Tyson Fury is like a hard Paddy McGuinness. Can't stand either. Looking forward to the McDonnell fight in a while, he's the UK's most underrated fighter who should get a lot more coverage than he does.
  6. How was that Guzan fault? That was terrible by amavi stupid absolutely idiotic defending Threw it to Amavi when he had a man on.
  7. 19 year old lad gets pissed on holiday. Total overreaction from the media as usual. As for the role model thing, well name me a lad who gets to about 16/17 (younger in some cases) and DOESN'T want to get pissed?.......... If I was that age again (I wish haha) and my favourite player sat at home drinking cups of tea and eating digestives, would I want to behave too? Hell no, I'd be down the offy for six litres of strong cider for £1.99........ And I'm a 46 year old bloke with a family and a nice place to live etc nowadays.
  8. That cheered me up a bit Gavin totally smashed and outclassed!
  9. **** pathetic, Lerner should reimburse every fan who has paid to watch this surrender.
  10. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL GREALISH FOR ENGLAND.
  11. Assist from someone who shouldn't be on a football pitch too...................
  12. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT MARK BATTENBURG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Everton are dirty clearings in the woods
  14. 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.
  15. Apparently Keith Harris was the only 70s television entertainer who was honest and open about fisting a young bird.
  16. The original early 60s mods also listened to Jamaican ska and rocksteady - forerunners of reggae music,
  17. 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.
  18. LOL City tannoy announcer "thankyou for all your fantastic support today"............ He means thanks for all the prawn sandwiches you've bought.
