You like smugly asserting that nobody can answer that don't you? And you cling on to the fantasy that SISU/ARVO/CCFC are separate entities. I'll ask again, when SISU allegedly pumped 70 millions into the club was that their money?

If SISU have, as they often claim, pumped 70 million into the club, then that was their (or their investors) money. It wasn't 'CCFC's' money was it? No. So if there are fines or losses from reduced gates then SISU, the owners of the club, fail to make money i.e. lose money. Just as there...

Oh my God! You really can't be as stupid as you come across. Any criticism of SISU is greeted with a hissy fit. Your posts could be dictated by one Timothy Fisher. He must piss himself laughing at you. There is no separate entity called CCFC anymore who make their own decisions. Fisher is...

So with goodwill what exactly were these other clubs ever going to do for us? I don't give a flying fuck what Sheffield Utd or Bolton fans think of us to be honest. I was there today and had no intention of throwing anything, running on the pitch or anything else disruptive, but you know what...

Probably our fault that Sunderland went down that year as well. Beating them home or away would be reason enough.

1969/70 table. 6th in the old first division. 10 away wins!

You can see a vendor in the photo of Ernie Hannigan and Bobby Moore

Given that you could either go over or under the turnstile quite easily and cash was involved there was a bit of a three way win. The club could pocket tax free cash,as could the gateman, whilst intimidating fans or those with little kids could save a few shillings. I think it was two...

My first match was either the Hibernian friendly or home to Burnley. 1969 anyway and I was six! Loved the club, the players, the kit, the fans, the ground. Started on the Spion Kop with a box to stand on. Used to long to go in the West End but didn't dare till I was about ten. Grew up in...

They all look rather butch to me. Doesn't everyone?

Ernie Hannigan and you know who in front of the West End

Love the fag!

The West End...again

Ah, those were the days...

Going from top of the table to bottom in a year!

Wright and Agyei were bad but Jesus was far worse IMHO

Mate of mine got community service for lamping someone. He had to spend time picking up litter and suchlike. Bet he'd have rather gone on the radio.

My cheque is in the post! Fnar, fnar

Did they get Geoff Foster in off the street one day? Stumbled across him commentating on Wasps recently when he obviously had a heavy cold and it was comedy gold. I think the average cat would do a better job. I also love how touchy Eakin gets when a caller suggests they could be more robust...
