Anyone know what happened on the corner of Uxbridge & Conningham Roads last night at about 7pm, some poor sod lying on the pavement bleeding very heavily & a trail of blood half way down Conningham Road? Don't think it was footie related...... |

Three games in the following order; Liverpool game when Mackie scored the winner causing total mayhem in R block & wondering how we ended up so far away from our seats after celebrating; Oldham, memorable from some hairy ar*ed stranger kissing me when furlong scored & getting pulled by the law for speeding on the way home; play-off final & kissing Clive after the game! |

Hooray, I just qualified for the oldie season ticket this year by a hairs' breadth so that's £200 in my pocket rather than the club's. I'm kind of challenged - same idiot (me) sitting in the same seat watching the same number of games but for less money. Under the current circumstances I'll suck it up, after all I lost count how much the club made from me over the years. I still retain my card & the box office said it would work for next season. Not that I can't get it on my phone, I'm not a Luddite, just that I don't want to because my life doesn't rotate around it! |

As sonofpugwash was saying earlier The Big Match is on ITV4 every day at about 6pm & they are currently running what seems to be a whole season's matches from season '74 presented by the great Brian Moore. We've featured a few times & it does seems London concentric. I forgot how exciting it was (despite the pitches), no tickie tackie around the box, full on attacking football & some robust challenges but players don't seem to make a meal of it unless it actually breaks their leg! Some of the studio interviews are comical, many are monosyllabic & it's obvious how modern players are so much more media savvy. Plus I like the 'Where are they now' feature, wish MoTD would do stuff like that. Would recommend..... |

Clive, could you let me know to whom I'd write to say keep the refund?
Cheers! |

Saw it Sunday. My grandfather joined the Royal Worcesters '17 & was involved in III battle of Ypres on the Somme & I've been on a few battlefield tours in the salient. The film was amazing, better than Dunkirk & good to see it was mostly British actors. The plane crash bit was filmed in the back lot of Shepperton Studio's, I saw the replica Fokker DVII on a sliding plinth every day last summer as I drove to work. Only two criticism's from a historical point of view, they'd learned by 1917 not to flood the established front lines due to the number of casualties incurred, they were usually sparsely manned with a stronger force in the II line but in the film there were literally thousands; & also it occurred to me at the end that when the Devons were chasing the Germans to what is now known as the Hindenburg line how they managed to dig such deep trenches in such a short time? Cinematic licence of course, but nevertheless I can't imagine a better representation of the sheer horror, damage & sheer senselessness of it |
