Reply | First Cinema you saw a film in?
at 16:50 5 Sep 2024
For me, it was UGC Staples Corner, off the Edgware Road. Can't remember the year or the film, but no doubt some Disney animation. Only had six screens, and later became Virgin Cinema and Cineworld, where I worked in my late teens.
They've plonked the new Thameslink station, Brent Cross West, right on the carpark
next to the old building. Went past it on Friday night on the way back from the Luton game.
I also have memories of being taken to see Jurassic Park at Empire Leicester Square,
and other films at Warner Brothers a few doors down.
My great uncle was a projectionist at the original Odeon in Leicester Square just
after the war, he would have been present at some classic premieres back in the day. |

Who could forget Bob Malcolm, found drunk and asleep at the wheel in the middle lane of a motorway.
The true crime was his performances at the heart of our defense. |

Bar the pink and turquoise away tops (however popular with some fans), all their designs have been pretty good. The black & gold from last season was a huge hit and the green & black hoops from 2017 was my favourite away shirt in years.
If we were to go with someone else, Castore make really nice kits. |

So if we're not allowed to sign a 3rd choice from a Prem team, does that leave us with scraps from the EFL? Like Warbs said, unlikely any Championship clubs would do us a favour.
Below is a list of keepers either unattached or not getting a game at all, and it doesn't fill me with much confidence.
David Button
Declan Rudd
Vasilis Barkas
Frank Fielding
Fabricio Agosto
Kieren Westwood
Robbin Ruiter

Wonder if Lee Grant would be available? Not exactly got fond memories of playing against us for Derby and Man Utd, but he’s fourth choice there, getting nowhere near that squad and has the experience Warbs might be after.
Ben Hamer has been playing for Swansea in the League and Cup, so can’t see that one happening.
Freddie Woodman would be interesting but don’t remember him pulling up any trees last season.
Andy Lonergan is another Prem keeper down the pecking order and we were linked with him in the summer. |

Assuming we don’t give Walsh a run in the team and opt for experience, I wonder if any of the names below would be considered? At a quick glance, it’s low on quality and free agents…
Darren Randolph
Lee Grant
Rob Elliot
Andy Lonergan
Jason Steele
Brandon Austin
Keiren Westwood
Jamal Blackman
Ben Alnwick

Thread | Pubs showing Brum game ?
at 15:14 1 Jan 2022
Does anyone know any pubs showing tomorrow’s game? Everything I can see says the Sky overlords removed red button games from pubs a few years back but surely somewhere will have it on? |

Thread | Local Businesses in W12
at 10:36 26 Aug 2020
Having taken full advantage of the Help Out To Eat Out scheme, had a lovely meal at Vine Leaves Taverna on the Uxbridge Road last night (friendly staff and fantastic portion sizes).
I noticed that apart from the queue going round the block to get into Nandos, the area still felt a bit dead and made me think about all the pubs, restaurants and cafes we associate with Rangers and the match day experience and how much we're all missing it.
Clive's recent piece put it so well that it's like visiting a model village. Apart from the Coningham Arms and Princess Victoria, both were quite busy last night, it seems a lot of the other local businesses are slowing waking from their slumber.
Here's hoping we're allowed back into HQ sooner rather than later and some of these places are still here to keep us fed and watered. In the meantime, if you don't live too far away, why not pop down to one of them...God knows they need it. |

Reply | Wycombe v M40 people tonight.
at 20:03 13 Jul 2020
Love Gaz when he played for us, really hope he can get Wycombe over the line. What an achievement that would be with their budget, also can't stand Karl Robinson.
No idea why Smyth isn't involved, maybe carrying a knock? I notice he was unused in both semi final games. I thought he'd be very handy in League One but looks like Wheeler keeps him out of the team. |

I believe it was a very young Fitz Hall who appeared briefly in the opening scene of Fifth Element, as a young boy looking into the sky as an alien spacecraft lands in Egypt.
Ian Holm was a fantastic actor, found him really menacing in From Hell. RIP. |

Thread | New Stadium & Statues
at 12:28 3 May 2020
With slight boredom during the lockdown kicking in, coupled with how much I'm missing Saturday afternoons in W12, it got me thinking about possibilities with a new stadium (if that day ever comes) and what we as fans would want to see.
Obviously try and avoid the route of Arsenal and West Ham and maybe take some inspiration from Spurs and Brentford (although I think Lionel Road looks a bit underwhelming but love the idea of a microbrewery that Spurs have adopted.)
Clearly the site at Linford Christie is our last viable option to stay in the borough but it worries me about a proposed capacity of 30,000, we'd never fill that even if we made a return to the top flight. Make it 25k max, keep the stands close to the pitch and I think we'd be onto a winner.
I've also been a bit envious of other clubs who have statues of former players and managers outside stadiums, I'm surprised it's something we've never considered and hope we put this right in the future. Arsenal already have four statues outside the Emirates, which might seem like overkill but who would you like to see immortalized in bronze for us? I've opted for these three...
Classic Stan Bowles dribbling with ball at feet
Mike Keen lifting the League Cup above his head
Neil Warnock, thumbs up and holding the Championship trophy

Thread | Player of the Year
at 13:59 11 Apr 2018
I know we won't be holding a glitzy party for this anytime soon, but it's refreshing to be able to put some thought into it.
I'm guessing player of the year nominees are going to be Freeman, Luongo, Smith and Smithies.
I'd go for Freeman as he's topped the assists chart in a struggling team and can't imagine where we'd be in the table without his contribution.
Young player of the year will be very interesting and appears much harder to call. Obviously a toss up between Smyth and Eze, it could deservedly go either way. Both on two goals but I think Smyth just edges it after his debut goal for the senior Northern Ireland team.
Goal of the season is one with slimmer pickings, the only noticeable strikes I can recall are Scowen's winner at home to Barnsley and Freeman's blistering effort in the reverse fixture at Oakwell. |
