I thought that was a full bodied Spanish red wine, but the squad has arrived for pre-season. No mention of personnel. One name we all know will be missing, but as far as I can tell, no word of Willock and it'll be July 2nd in 15 mins. |
| Forum Thread | The Concept album at 23:11 9 Jun 2024
Generally thought to have started in the progrock era but in my collection I have two from the mid-fifties : West Coast Suite by Mel Torme which is about, well, the West Coast of the USA, and Just Strike A Match by April Ames which is an album about cigarettes ( I kid you not) . Favourite concept albums anyone ? |

June is bustin' out all over. Or so the song from the film said. I think Messrs Fuller Smith & Turner have ensured a good night's sleep. G'night. |

……from the defector's Weld and Charlotte Elphicke was in there. Oh well, I tried. |

| Forum Thread | 380 million years…….. at 11:02 16 Sep 2022
Since we last beat Blackburn. A fossilised fish has been found in Western Australia reckoned to be 380 million years old. Scientists say because we have two of everything we should have two of, plus the shape of our mouths, we are descended from fish. How come there are still fish about then ? |

Could be the answer to our right back problem. No seriously, those of a certain age will remember him being “Minister of Floods” when we had the drought in '76. No sooner had he been appointed, it started slashing down for days on end. Hosepipe bans on the way for most of the country and I understand, steam iron bans for some. I reckon Boris would be a good Minister for Floods. |

I've always been torn between Beethoven's Ode To Joy and the audience interpolation of 'ave a banana during the singing of Let's All Go Down The Strand. |

Christ that went quick ! The government, especially the forgotten but not gone Boris, have had it in for the Beeb for years now, and I wouldn't join that hostility. However, I hate the way the corporation has dumbed down in order to compete with commercial channels. Not being a snob really but I'd like the BBC to focus on more serious and artistic content. Anyone else ? |

The Box Office is closed today, no doubt to get the staff mentally prepared for the rush of people renewing tomorrow, when next season's prices are announced. |

Anyone know if he's OK ? He was clearly badly injured in the clash with Thomas in the second half. We were all amazed he was able to play on. |
| Forum Thread | Loans at 12:05 7 Apr 2022
Taken for granted as part of the game now but didn't exist at all when I started watching football. Although we've benefitted from some loans I've never really liked the system as it can distort competition with some clubs better able to access loans than others. Is it just me ? |

I'm having to isolate this week ahead of a minor op next Saturday ( that's put the tin lid on the Fulham game ), so I thought I'd check on what beers Ocado have. Amazing - hundreds of beers at keen prices and no lugging heavy bottles or tins home. Recommended to all fellow Artistes de Pisse. |
| Forum Thread | Hols at 14:47 9 Mar 2022
A nice spring day and an old man's fancy turns to hols. This year presumably untrammelled by Covid. The wife fancied a few weeks in Bridgewater, Somerset. I was a bit put off by that song, what was it ? Oh yeah, Trouble Over Bridgewater. Any plans yet ? |
| Forum Thread | Reasons to be (quite) cheerful at 20:08 5 Mar 2022
It looks like we won't be playing Fulham or Brentford next season, so a few hidings avoided. Leeds like quite likely to be relegated so that will occupy Sky's “minds” if you can call them that. Any more ? |

Don't suppose many on here old enough to remember him - I can, just. Quite a ball player it seemed to me at the time. |

How about Ossie returning at right wingback thus releasing Albert to bring a bit of pace and a different dimension to the attack ? |
