    Abuse at Preston??

    There was hardly an ounce of respect during the miners strike, NW, trust me. I worked through it. I was on the staff and we were not in the NUM and not on strike, but I saw every day the lack of respect and bitterness and anger and spitting and fighting and name calling, from people who were...

    Abuse at Preston??

    I worked in the coal industry and lived through all this, with the scabs etc. I saw families literally torn apart, i.e. there was one family where the dad and 3 sons all worked together. The strike happened. 3 (the dad and 2 sons, striked), the 3rd son worked. Then after a few months one of the...

    Abuse at Preston??

    This is never going to happen though, cos the move to Northampton divided the fans right down the middle. We can't stick together, but what we can do is to respect fellow City fans' views.

    Preston fans have 'proper wide on' over Murphy celebration..

    Confused me as well. At first I thought it was a very seldom used fielding position in cricket.

    How come you rate Friends as shite, Houch, yet say you've never seen a single episode? Agree with you on Scrubs. Totally disagree on My Family, which for me is one of the very worst sitcoms ever. Bloody awful, derivative nonsense and embassingly poorly written. As it got worse they threw...

    Guess he's like Marmite. I think the Office and Extras are pure class though.

    England Cricket- another disaster

    Watched the whole thing and England had the game in the bag. A shambles and big, big embarrassment.

    Is AFC / Phoenix a step closer ?

    That's fair enough, Torch. My stance is that I was born and bred in Coventry and still live in Coventry and support all things Coventry, be it the rugby or the ice hockey or the football team, or the American Football team, a Coventry band or a Coventry actor, or athlete, whatever. This is why...

    Pray For Stuart

    RLP was a talented actor. Don't think you'll have too many people bandying about the word 'legend' to be honest. Does get a bit ridiculous when actor after actor and celeb after celeb is called a legend upon their death.
