I thought the real reason that the Imp was built by Scottish nailbenders 🙂 was that Rootes was bribed by the government to shift production there. I think the theory that if you can weld a 3" thick steel plate on a 50,000 tonne ship, then you can install a fiddly dashboard on a small car was...

Back on topic though, I can't see that King has done much wrong yet, but I think "trust but verify" is always going to be the right approach towards anyone daft enough to buy a football club. Especially ours. 🙂

Sergio Costalot is an absolute steal at £5m, totally ripped up FIFA 23 for me. We should snap their hands off. 😁

Best: Houchen's header and the final whistle in 1987. Honourable mentions: Speedie chipping the goalie at various grounds. Any Big Mo dribble. Peter Ndlovu leaving Liverpool players on their arses. Worst: Can't think of many. Lloyd McGrath breaking his leg in a nothing game, perhaps...

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” A line from Hemingway, says Google. It's also the story of rugby's Premiership.

Don't get this at all. All of us started as fans somewhere. If it hadn't been for the unexpected glory and joy of 86-87 I doubt I would have stuck around for 87-88, let alone the next few decades. Pretty much everyone who went to Wembley in the Cov end either had a season ticket, or had...

Possibly not Panzo. I think he was probably still shaking!

And next season I'll make sure to collect my points properly! 🙂

It is what it is. They finished ahead of us in the league and we weren't quite good enough to beat them on the day. No bitterness here, we've done brilliantly well to get this far and this takes nothing away from Robins and the team. Go again next year with a ground that solely ours and an...

On the upside, we'd have to go some to have a worse half than that. Time for some Robins magic...

Doesn't look any better on the telly, fwiw...

Handy for next year's FA Cup final. 😁

Thank you mate, very kind of you guys to say so. Give it a day or two though, and I'll be banging on about something random and boring everyone rigid again. 😂 Hope everyone is having a great time down there - stay hydrated! 😁

I'm guessing the big man upstairs is asking him for a bit of financial advice and this was OSB's price. 😁

You too sbwm. It looks like starting the journey from the South coast will be a tactical masterstroke. :D

You're going to have to do the vacuuming or wash the dishes or something mate, or you'll go pop! 😄 Have a great day, and bring back the win.

And having written all that, I'm going to be very disappointed if Nick doesn't tell me to fuck off. 😄

Very decent of you to think of me, @Skyblueweeman. In truth though, it's not a problem. The father-in-law can't make the trip to Wembley, and he wants a bit of company to watch the game, so I've decided to settle in and do it that way. There's plenty of deserving cases out there, and I've...

Terrific stuff. Where's the Wasps one then? I'd have thought the kitman at least would have enough time on his hands to knock something up for us. 😁

Bugger. I was hoping for two. This is going to hurt. 😄
