    Sounds like he's the footy equivalent of James Hunt the F1 driver.

    Film Thread 2015

    I've seen Coherence, was quite impressed with the originality and quality of it. Time Lapse is one I've got ready for a dull evening. You're quite right though, some Indie films are just downright shite. Tell you another Indie flick that's worth a mention, is VHS. Unbelievable film, a...

    Don Howe RIP

    Yep, this is pretty much my sentiment too. He used to do a bit of commentary on live games for ITV, I recall, and his most-used expression was: "An inch lower and it was a goal all the way!" Respect due though, a good footballing man. R.I.P

    Andy Rose signed

    Yep, sounds like a workhorse, plus he's tall so it'll give us a height boost.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Friday Never heard of him before now. Shouldn't laugh, but the bit where it said he kicked Mark Lawrenson in the face made me chuckle.

    best Christmas telly special?

    The 70's, 80's and 90's ones were always good. In-keeping with the festive mood and whatnot. I don't watch much telly now really, and even so, all I'll be missing tomorrow is the Queen's Speech and a Bond film. Neither are near the top of my viewing schedule. ;) Might stick Only Fools and...

    Would you sell him for £10m

    Based on logical predictions regarding proceedings and outcomes. :D

    Would you sell him for £10m

    I guess it's wishful thinking to hope for a large up-front fee, loan-back clauses etc, but despite everyone acknowledging that his development would be hampered by languishing in a top flight reserves team, doesn't mean it won't happen. Personally, there's no better training and development...

    Andy Rose signed

    Yep, a defensive midfielder, which is either a sign that either Fleck is leaving or Bigi is heading back to Newcastle. I'd go with the latter, myself, being a hopeful wishful-thinker. I like Bigi, but I'd rather keep Fleck, tbh.

    merry Christmas and health and happiness

    After you've had your book token, and your grey socks, pretend you have a migraine but be very apologetic and self-deprocating, saying you don't wanna spoil the day but your head is really banging. Then, go upstairs, shut the bedroom door, and watch something you enjoy and/or have a blissful nap...

    Happy Christmas

    True, actually, I find myself agreeing with 90% of what he says. I find I'm probably more similar to him, in the respect of fighting my own corner, not relying on friendships etc. The art of arguing is one finely tuned here, I've found; one has to find that balance between assertive and...

    You too, Daz. Have a good 'un.

    Happy Christmas

    Well, thanks for putting up with my initial attitude on here, lads, I was trying too hard and I was quite offensive to some of you, so I respect you all. Even Grendel, who I secretly have a bit of a vaudeville-villain crush on. :D Merry Christmas to all the SBT crowd, and here's to picking up...

    Bottom (Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson) Xmas episode 'Holy'

    Aye his stand-up was hit and miss, usually miss, it just wasn't his forte. Anyone recall that song he did at a stand-up festival, the 'I'm Evil' song? That was legendary.

    Would you sell him for £10m

    Can't even remember what I had for breakfast an hour ago, let alone what it was like to be 19 with so much potential. My potential was restricted purely to wankathons and flunking exams, though.

    Watching that video, I imagine Juan Roman Riquelme was a fan of his. Their styles are almost identical; impeccable close control, incredible vision and awareness. Never heard of Sivori before, thanks for the link.

    Bottom (Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson) Xmas episode 'Holy'

    Absolutely, the two of them were just comic geniuses. Rik was never the same after his accident though, sadly. I met him prior to the Live tour 3 (Hooligans Island) at the Hippodrome, he was a genuine bloke. Could tell he was troubled beneath that exterior, but he was a gentleman. Still have my...

    Would you sell him for £10m

    Basically, yes. Ask for a chunk up front, add loan back clauses and sell-on fees. It's crucial this deal is done correctly, for us and for Madders. I doubt we'll get £10mil, that's daft money, if we got £5mil I'd still say yes because it contributes a lot of stability to next season. Plus, if...

    Film Thread 2015

    The Martian was a bit...meh. Not bad, but the hype didn't match what I saw. Interstellar, with it's brilliantly freestyling science was so much more superior. Also, I had a look at Session 9 a few nights ago, a thriller/horror from 2001 that was on Putlocker. To say it was original is an...

    Aye, haha, good ol' Sumo. I think the pies finished him in the 93/94 season though, only got 8 goals all season didn't he? As for Puskas, well, unstoppable...remember at Real Madrid when they had Puskas and Di Stefano leading the attack?! Jesus, I think between them, they scored nearly 400...
