    Potential open top bus celebration

    That return to Cov up the M1/M45 in 1987 was fantastic. Only one bridge (in the Watford area) was empty of people celebrating. The closer to Cov we got, the bridges were simply heaving with sky blue ! London Road roundabout on the A45 was just something else. Fans celebrating all over the road...

    How much money can we expect for being champions ?

    Actual prize money for winning the Championship is around £11 million plus a few other bits and bobs. Got to take tv appearance money into account on top of that.

    Joey barton

    As best as I can remember, he used to be a regular reader of the Guardian and thus gained a (wrongful) reputation of being intelligent in the dressing room compared to others.

    Death List 2026

    Saw Rob Grant at Norwich Playhouse about 10 years ago when I was stewarding his stand up comedy gig. It was a genuinely awful event. Somebody must have told him that he could do stand up when he most clearly couldn't.... The poor bloke just about had a nervous breakdown on stage and, at the...

    Kai Andrews…

    I loosely follow Dunfermlines results only because I attended a preseason friendly at East End Park between the Parrs and West Ham. Geoff Hurst scored an excellent hat trick! I was careful to keep extremely schtum when the anti English songs started up. The Dunfermline fans I was holidaying with...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Thoroughly enjoyed the 1st two series of Kin. RTE keeping their powder dry (for now) if a 3rd series is going to happen or not.

    Favourite ever goal…

    Sometime around the mid 70s and early season 1-0 win at HR against Liverpool. Ferocious volley from the edge of the area. Unbelievable Tommy Hutchison strike from a Colin Stein headed backwards assist.

    I found it very hard to get out of my head, the image of Wendy being shagged from behind while having her backside smacked at the same time 😁👍

    I'll give it a look during the next few nights! I'm well up for gangster series/films. Currently getting to grips with Ozark on Prime. Only 4 episodes in series 1 but highly entertaining so far.

    As mentioned by various people on this thread, Steal on Prime was an excellent mini series that me and Mrs TGE binged over a couple of nights. Only complaint was at the end of episode 1 there was a brief synopsis of what was to come in the rest of the series. Really didnt need that !!

    how many famous cov fans are there?

    Pretty sure every team was allowed a guest member and we had WBA keeper Osbourne ( cant remember his christian name) as ours. He proved to be a huge brainbox and we ended up as beaten finalists In one series... or so my poor memory recollects
