I was only 6/7 though, so maybe I'm wrong. Probably did, I'm going back further than that Ruge, Live League football started in about 84 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vividly remember it starting the season that Tony Cottee and Frank Macavennie started on fire for West Ham. Might have only lasted a season though as ITV ran out of money or the Sky deals were brewing. Edited August 5, 2018 by TheAuthority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted August 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2018 Bloody autocorrect on iPad/iPhone always changes 'on' to 'in' for some inane reason. It's the reason for 99% of my VT edits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 90/91 season when Arsenal won the league, and Leeds 91/92 winners, it was still on then. Always remember us getting hammered by Leeds which was on a Sunday and live on tv in the 91/92 season. Sky had the premier league from the start though.

I remember being in Birmingham and those that weren't at the game were getting any shop that sold Hi-Fi systems to test the radio facility. Record decks, nah, cassette decks, not interested, all about Radio that day... Sounds shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was around 86/87 time as Cottee joined Everton in the summer of 88 for a record UK transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds right. I would have been 10/11 I would watch football on the ‘upstairs’ tv.

QPR coming back from 4-0 down to draw with Port Vale was probably the most memorable game. I remember those! For some reason it was always Stoke, Port Vale, or Stoke vs Port Vale, or at least in my memory anyway. Maybe some Tranmere thrown in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2018 I really hate it when people at work say stuff like "Oh you never come over and speak to me" or "You haven't spoken to me yet today" Well neither have you, word removed.

AVFC_Hitz Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Chuminess at work really annoys me. It's either forced or it happens naturally. 99% of the time it's forced. I've been called cold before because I don't swan around the place offering smiles and platitudes. **** off, I work and **** off home to cry wank into a quilt to forget you all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuminess I don't mind, it's the people who seem to love deliberately falling out with others so they can spend 8 hours bitching about them, then going to great lengths to make it obvious that they're ignoring the colleague that piss me off. Just a complete waste of energy and time, **** grow up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get this all the time. I get people who have a conversation with me and say stuff like "Oh you're actually really nice, I thought you were just the moody guy who sits in the corner!" I'm not moody. I'm the opposite! Just because I don't sit at my desk smiling like a moron or go around starting conversations with people doesn't mean I'm not friendly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I read it as "clumsiness" It works for the first line, I had visions of @AVFC_hitz swanning around knocking things of peoples Desk's and laughing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
