I was a football mad 12 year old when England won the World Cup in 66,but can remember vividly watching the final on the telly with my family. I can recall it all as if it was a few years back and not a half century ago. We talked about certain sporting events in the pub recently that have...

I keep hearing that this Leicester title win won't happen again. But which club could prove this to be wrong ? Maybe West Ham or Southampton ?

Cov band the Enemy have decided to call it a day after ten years together.Reasons given are that the radio stations never gave them enough air play and also health matters too,so they're splitting up for good. Can't say I was a huge fan but they are City fans aren't they ? So for that I took...

As the play offs have now gone and with not much to play for has the motivation to attend the final matches gone as well ? I'll go to the remaining home games, but it may be painful watching the away fans of Millwall and Bradford celebrating behind the goal while we look on thinking that...

In the paper today it said a poll by music station Radio X (never heard of it) to find out what songs were the best by British artists,and it attracted 50,000 votes,and Oasis got the top 4 places. 1. Wonderwall.2. Don't Look Back In Anger.3.Champagne Supernova. 4. Live Forever. 5.I Am The...

There's a new radio station called Radio Dead where they play only records by acts who've passed away.When you think about it they have some great music they can play,as just think of the greats that have died.I'll kick off with a few records I'd want to hear :Purple...

I was asked recently by a non football fan why I liked the Beautiful Game ? He didn't understand why me and a few others in the pub not only went to games year after year,but watched it in the pub and constantly talked about it.People who have no interest in the game just don't understand our...

As there are a couple of threads currently on about gambling it got me thinking about something that cropped up recently.My son loves to bet on the football,horses,and dogs,while I just have a few quid on football matches.He thinks nothing of putting thirty quid on a horse or dog,and if it comes...

It's probably an age thing but for me my favourite decade for football and music was the 70's.Rock music was great as you had bands like Deep Purple,Black Sabbath,The Who,Pink Floyd,and of course a certain David Bowie.And the City had Ferguson and Wallace,Tommy Hutchison,and the West End was...

Jason Cundy on the radio today reckons players diving for a penalty should be congratulated,he says it's a skill and an art form.Callers have slated him and a couple said he should be taken off the air.He doesn't see it as cheating,but he contradicted himself by remarking they should get a red...

I'm sure we're going to win today but as I'm not one for booing or swearing after another defeat,I just head off to the pub in a sulk. So instead I thought if we do lose to Rochdale I'd do my moaning now and beat other fans to it after the match.So here goes: What a load of rubbish,you're not...

Just read a book on Clough and Taylor and how successful their partnership was.Which got me thinking about other great duos etc. Here's my best in no particular order. Laurel and Hardy. Lennon and McCartney. Jagger and Richards. Simon and Garfunkel. Ferguson and Wallace Del Boy and Rodney...

Good discussion in the pub the other day which was ironic seeing we were discussing addictions. One bloke said alcohol is the worst,while another reckoned it was drugs,but then again what about gambling ? I've lost two good mates through drink problems,and my son although he won't admit it has a...

Walking away from the ground yesterday a couple of Bury fans were walking past me and I said hard luck lads,they both said thanks.Then some prat behind me called them knob heads. They both shook their heads in disbelief.They've just seen their team ripped apart and then some idiot slags them...

I'm going with a mate tomorrow to the Cathedral service but have a spare ticket if anybody wants it ?

On Football Focus on Saturday they were talking about Sturridge and his injuries.He has had 18 separate injuries just this season,and Mark Lawrenson said he's probably out now with a twisted sock !Dion Dublin commented that every player in any division plays with some sort of injury,but you just...

Now that Maddison is leaving for pastures new we may have to change the words to he's one of our own song ? So it could be: He's here on loan,James Maddison he's here on loan. If it catches on I want copyright !

I broke the habit of a lifetime yesterday and left with about 10 minutes to go as I was that fed up with the performance.My pal sat next to me stayed to the end and gave me a bit of stick in the pub after the game,saying he couldn't believe I'd piss off as I moan at others that do that.Did any...

Having read the thread on here about Trolls it got me thinking how much I detest them so they're going in my Room 101.Also I'd put in Aston Villa,Manchester United,Olives,Rap music,Russell Brand,Katie Hopkins,the colour purple,sushi,kids on Skateboards in shopping centres,queuing for football...

Have you ever looked back at an incident and thought how lucky you were to get out of it with your life ? I've had numerous incidents, like when I worked on the railway many years ago and got my work trouser bottoms caught on the track we were laying just as a train was coming our way. Two of my...
