We were talking about this in the pub not long ago. What second team have we got,if we have one that is ? Celtic/Rangers were mentioned,Chelsea and Liverpool too. When I was asked I said I've always liked Fulham as a club. This was met with why not a big team ? I went to a Cov away match at...

Fair and valid points. I wrote an article last year on the Mighty Magyars the great Hungarian side in the 50's for Late Tackle magazine, that side with Puskas in it. They were awesome but never won the World Cup losing out to the Germans in the final. A fellow writer wrote as they never won the...

Better than the Arsenal Invincibles, and the treble winning Man Utd side ?

Man City are a very good team but as yet not a great one. Ex players and the media have gone over the top over this current Man City side, saying they're the best the Premier has ever seen and so on. I can see Spurs beating them on Saturday, but they will be champions shortly after no doubt...

Final This Country on now. Been a good series. Also on tonight was Cunk on Britain.Brilliant piss take on history, worth a watch.

What happened to the greasy spoon cafes ? Are they still around ?

On Saturday going to the Notts County game the coach stopped off at Ruddington a village a few miles away from the ground. Told we had 2 hours before pick up. What did we all do ? Straight into the pub not a coffee shop or cafe. It's what we do isn't it ?

In the paper today story featured on how coffee shops are now more popular with people than going to the pub. With pubs closing down rapidly, the rise of outlets like Starbucks and Costa are booming. I'm not really a coffee drinker so never go in the above mentioned places, but I do know they...

Seems like road accidents and vehicle near misses are the most dangerous incidents. Then again someone let a flare off at one of the bars inside the ground on Saturday, and if someone had been hit by that they'd be writing about that as pretty dangerous. I was just about to get served as well...

Give Juggy a game to commentate on before the end of the season ?He goes to all the games and he can talk as we all know.

I'm glad I went to the game yesterday, as I didn't have to listen to CWR and the inane "commentary " for ninety odd minutes. They get on my nerves and I'd like to hear some new presenters now.

Just back from a day at Notts. Great crack with the lads but we were shit on the pitch. I think that's us over with the play offs ? Hope I'm wrong ?

There used to be a criminal code. Do not hurt children, respect the elderly, and if you commited a crime don't cry about it if you got sent down. Now a lot of "criminals" have no respect for anybody even the police. In the Telegraph today a case highlighted saw a bloke who knocked out a copper...

Probably caught him on an off night ? Bet my dad wound him up at beating him !

My late father said Rees was arrogant and cocky and gave it the big un in the Hawthorn pub in Tile Hill. I have heard that many professional darts players hate losing to "pub players" even though my dad was a county champion.

When you look back it's amazing we're still here.From a youngster falling out of trees bird nesting, putting a finger in a light socket as a kid for a dare, standing up to the school bully,(got battered) falling in a busy road drunk, taking strange substances at parties, and so on and so on. How...

The Colliers is gone now turned into flats/houses, but the motorway runs along side. He may have been doing a tournament or exhibition in Cov ? Anyway the landlord was well surprised he came in to the pub in the afternoon. My dad was a good darts player won loads of trophies, and he beat...

I used to drink in the Jolly Colliers pub in Walsgrave, and in the 90's Eric Bristow stopped off at the pub. The landlord said he played darts on his own and had a few beers, before being driven off by his driver. We never believed the gaffer, but he was backed up by a couple of regulars who...

With this tragic news of the pensioner "killing" an intruder, it got me thinking about dangerous situations I've been in. When you look back at certain incidents in your life you realise how different things could have worked out. As I've mentioned before I used to get in trouble and ended up...

When the dust settles he'll walk free. If not the backlash will be huge as all we are hearing is about murders and stabbings in London. He acted in self defence in his own home, a medal should be awarded. The burglar who died was wanted for breaking in to the home of a 70 year old householder...
