What have you enjoyed and disliked in this tournament ? For me I've liked how its been trouble free seeing we expected loads of aggro from the Russian Ultras, like the fact how its wide open for a "lesser" team to win it, enjoyed some great goals,and when used properly the use of VAR. But...

My son is boxing tomorrow night at Ryton Connection. A charity event and he's looking forward to it. Yet he was out running this afternoon and twisted his ankle badly. He can't believe it the day before his fight and this happened. He's resting it tonight,taking painkillers, and hoping it eases...

To balance out my dislike thread how about who we like ? For getting us promotion Mark Robins. I also like my family and friends. I like almost all of my customers, and most of the shop owners in Bell Green. Off the telly I like David Attenborough, Ray Mears, Steve Backshall, and Chris Packham...

I try to see the good in everybody even those I don't know. But every time I see a picture of Ian Duncan Smith or see him on the news I feel like I want to chin him ! Must be something about him gets my ire up, he comes over as a smug rich bastard who seems to dislike the poor or disabled, and...

Been out again. Met a few lads in the Spon Gate pub 12 oclock. Sobered up after a great day ! Paced myself after 10 pints. They are impressed that a 64 year old can still last the pace. That's what window cleaning can do for you. And a woman in the group who's 45 said what's my secret ? Lucky I...

Has anybody else ever noticed that some of the best ever players are/have been short in height ? Take Messi for example, he's only about 5'7" tall.Maradona was about the same height, but both are without doubt two of the greatest ever. Kevin Keegan wasn't tall in fact Jimmy Hill turned him down...

This afternoon I was walking past the pub in the town when a old mate knocked the window of the pub, he called me for a beer . I had a great talk about out past times . I've just got back in wobbling to fuck ! We spent an hour in the boozer which was the old Tally Ho, and we recalled how great...

Might be showing my age as I started going to games back in the 60's when it was all rattles and rosettes, but is anybody else a bit cheesed off seeing fans fiddling about with their phones during matches, or taking Selfies all the time ? If I'm not expecting a call I'll turn my phone off, and...

I know wallpaper isn't trendy as most people paint their walls these days. But maybe wallpaper will make a comeback as there is a firm called Rockroll.co.UK who create designs based on iconic album art from classic bands. For example God Save The Queen by Sex Pistols, and Black Sabbaths...

They mentioned yesterday that Peru was voted the best ever shirt at a World Cup. Not sure at what tournament though, but they have stuck to their iconic stripe, and it does look good. For me the Brazil shirt in the 70's is my favourite, and it has stood the test of time. Any other favourites ?

Is it just me but when I ask somebody will you be watching the World Cup and they say no, are you shocked like me ? Yesterday and today I've had a few say " I hate football, and won't watch any of the games. " To me football is the best sport on the planet, in fact its a huge part of my life...

Where's best to watch games in the World Cup ? I mix it up and go to the pub for England games, but other matches like to watch on the telly. But then again it can depend on times of matches, and what days they're on. But can you beat a lively boozer, for atmosphere ?

Russia got off to a good start with a 5-0 win. So a month of football begins, but that means a month of listening to the panels of "experts" on TV channels and on the radio. I reckon by one week we'll be fed up with one or two of them. Who are favourites on here, and who gets on your nerves ...

Programme on the telly last night about the state of British prisons. As an ex con myself, but not been back for 20 years, I'm glad I cleaned my act up as what a mess they're in now. The inmates are ruling many gaols as there aren't enough prison officers to control them, and drugs are rife and...

This morning had to phone Credit Card company. Sort out my payments etc. It was like a comedy sketch.I got through after ten minute wait on the line, having to endure weird music, and then finally a woman started talking to me. I say talking to me as I couldn't understand a word she was on...

Just noticed a credit sign next to my name on the site. What's that about ? I've got £6.00 some have a £100.00 !

Just sent off to Planet Rock a new Rockblock. 20 favourite tracks. I selected tracks with a link to summer. Not easy, but finally chose songs that rock fans hopefully like to listen to. A few of my favourites are : Holidays In The Sun - Sex Pistols. Summer In The City - Lovin Spoonful. Feeling...

A customer of mine has asked me if there are any papers/magazines featuring our play off matches and the Wembley Final etc ? She has a brother in Australia who's a City fan, and she wants to send him something about our promotion. I haven't seen anything yet.

On Danny Bakers radio show this morning it featured the question of who have you unexpectedly seen while on holiday or away from your home etc ? Not necessarily a famous person, just a surprise encounter. It made me recall the time I was on a break in North Wales a few years ago. I was on a camp...

This is my X1 from the promotion winning team of 66/67 with 2 players I'd put in from the one who got us up this season. Glazier Kearns Bruck Farmer Curtis Machin Doyle Ian Gibson Gould McNulty Rees Obviously only older fans would know of the players I've chosen apart from Doyle and McNulty. But...
