    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Get Akinfenwa in. Keep feeding him then stick him in goal as the reserve keeper. Going to take a very accurate, swinging shot to get round that huge body.

    Why are male footballers wearing bras?

    Rugby players wear something similar too. You can see the box of tricks under their shirts at the back of the neck. I often wondered why top teams had several guys tapping away at laptops while the game was on then found out it was how to work out who's performance was beginning to drop away...

    Two years ago today....

    Losing finalists always feck off p.d.q after the final whistle. Not surprisingly, they wouldn't have wanted to hear 43,000 living it up, particularly as they had lost the final the previous year too. Cant remember who it was on SBT who said it, (but the anecdote stays with me !), walking round...

    Most Shocked About A Result

    Yes. The players being released had already been told their fate and were in no mood to play their hearts out for the club. Abysmal performance all round.

    Unbelievable!!!

    Peterborough in 8th place looks good to me !

    Just how big is our fan base ?

    I got a food poisoning bug earlier last week and lost 7lbs in one night. Found at one stage in the night that it was easier sleeping on the khasi than getting back to bed only to return to the bathroom again and again. A rapid weight loss not particularly recommended !

    Championship favourite fixtures....

    Carrow Road 5 miles for me so could even walk that if the weather is ok and fans allowed to attend. Plenty of great city centre boozers so the last mile could be a bit tasty !

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    I guess with the Coventry car industry to the south and coal mines to the north, Bedworth men had plenty of money to spend in the pubs until it all went tits up decades ago.

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    I was a regular attendee at Silk at the Plough. The place heaved most nights they were on and particularly when they hosted the London band Hackensack ! Man...they were loud ! When Silk had to move on, I think the next port of call was the Gosford on Humber Road in the back room then the pub on...

    Black Prince pub in tile hill

    Perhaps 40 years ago, I agreed to play for a Walsgrave pubs darts team for a short while. We had an away match at the Live and Let Live and made the mistake of taking an early lead. Going by the growling and muttering, we didnt try too hard from then onwards and eventually lost. At the end, the...

    These look good

    Ordered the wonderful Huckerby light blue/dark blue stripes for my sons birthday. He got me the cup final kit one for Xmas.

    Kenny Sansom

    Poor sod. His life has certainly taken a nose dive from his peak days playing for Arsenal and England.

    Ban him and he'll simply come back under a different name. Just put the pillock on ignore.

    Greatest Escape

    You got the wrong season TS. We did ok in the league in 86/87 without bothering the top 6 or anywhere near relegation. I was at HR for the Luton game referred to above. Time was very short when Killer sort of mis-hit a long range shot that bounced up and passed Les Sealey by into the Luton goal...

    Greatest Escape

    The Pompey fans positive reaction to losing 0-2 to Albion to send their hated neighbours down, was one of the funniest things I've seen in football ! Remember that Norwich needed a positive result at Fulham to stay up and got beaten, I think, 6-0 !

    RIP Norman Hunter

    The epitomy of a defensive thug.... I offer you Chelsea's Micky Droy !

    David Icke Again

    I was at that game too Steve. Souness was by far the best player on the pitch then got himself sent off. Thought at the time that here was a player who is going to hit the big time yet Spurs obviously didnt agree and sold him to Middlesborough without ever playing for Spurs 1st team. One that...
