166 top flight games for Everton and 7 for Brum. Might be the most Prem appearances of anyone after leaving us? Kirkland and Thompson could have had more but for injuries of course.

That's a fair point, although it is annoying that Lincoln were seemingly so desperate to get it called off. You are THE most "glass half full" City fan ever though I reckon. If you found out that your brother had shagged your wife, you'd say "ah well, better than with some stranger"!

Which one?!

Agreed. Plus the releasing of Doyle to save money and the injury to Carsley when their "dogs of war" midfield partnership was a big part of that side's style of play. It wasn't pretty, but for a while it was more effective than any since relegation. And that with Nathan Cameron and Clive Platt...

I remember Vidic doing his and being back in about 4 weeks. I found that amazing though, I was still in a sling after 6 weeks with both of mine! At least he's in better hands than I was at Warwick hospital, though. Doc said "ah I think it's just muscular". I protested so he sent off for an...

Absolute pleasure, guv'ner.

My worst moment with them was going up a Blackburn cup game with my old man and him perving over them and me pointing out the age of some of them and him saying "so?" That was an awkward silence after that....

True genius is often unintentional! :cigar:

Me too mate, on both scores! Bloody love it. It's ended up getting me into Morse just to get more Thaw (albeit a very different character). The political incorrectness is amazing but I keep trying to explain to people, it's not sexist/racist/homophobic TV, that's what things were like then...

I think the OP is using the term "snowflake" in the anti-PC sense?: Snowflake (slang) - Wikipedia -rather than the "warm you up in Winter" sense? Possibly in the wake of the Grid Girls being banned from F1. Right? In which case he should just stay at home and watch ITV4, there's plenty of...

Rec Nah, Mick Harford, goal every 17 minutes. Never gonna be beaten surely?!

Agreed. They're like us if we'd bounced back rather than being....well, you pointed out where our fates differed! They're the well ran, wealthier us: what we could be if we had success again. But atm obviously much bigger.

Great thread. For me, QPR/Pompey to answer the OP. In more depth: 1. Man U 2. Liverpool 3. Arsenal 4. Spurs 5. Everton 6. Leeds 7. Villa 8. Chelsea 9. Notts F 10. Newcastle 11. Man C 12. West Ham 13. Sheff Wed 14. Southampton 15. Leicester 16. West Brom 17. Stoke 18. Blackburn 19. Sunderland...

Well he won our Player of the Year once in the Championship, so wasn't that out of his depth. He was never technically gifted then either but he covered more miles than most players closing down and running off the ball and the OPTA stats backed that up entirely. He was probably at his best when...

I think you're correct aside from the part about them being acceptable! I would class them as a faux pas or Malapropism. They're not much better than "a damp squid" (instead of squib) as used by our previous PM and in an ep of The IT Crowd. But not as bad as "to put on a peddle-stool" (instead...

I do love a poster who only surfaces when SISU need defending. Still, it's a living, eh? I see that Godiva is viewing the thread too!

It really was, the crowd would roar whenever he did it, or laid off then made the run for the return, magical stuff. Best back-to-goal forward I ever saw.

Totally heartbreaking news, it was hard to not well up at work all morning. One of my heroes, an absolute legend and a total gentleman. He was the fulcrum of the attack when I first started going and so many memories are of his give and go on the halfway line a bit like the Sheff Wed FA Cup...

I have no idea what the row is about, the constant rows being a reason to not spend too much time on here, but as someone who knows Torch "in real life" I can guarantee you that he is a thoroughly pleasant chap.

Manchester Utd. My great-grandad was Lord Mayor of Manchester in the 60's and got to know Sir Matt Busby quite well (and received a personal invite to the European Cup Final). My mum had loads of memorabilia growing up, programmes signed by Charlton, Best and Stiles (which my grandad later...
