Re: Premier League sack race

Yep One thought he was in charge of Man City and had their budget, the other was always living up to a club legend.

Re: Bristol City v West Ham United :Replay match thread

What Pearce was on about was a recurrent theme. He just droned on about all manner of crap, whilst Danny The Silent Gabbidon stood by. He seemed to mention every ex-Bristol City player from the year dot...Never heard of 'Joe Dyer', he said he played in the 70's. Danny G wasn't much better when he d...

Re: The Avondale FC 1922-23 (Non West Ham)

He suggests further research by checking the Barnet Press ,and the results which is held at the Hendon library if you want to check the league's results till...

This is a long shot and probably a Micky take so apologies. I live up north and have done so for many years. Someone working in the city tomorrow has 3 Villa tickets for me but they cannot meet at the ground Sunday. If there was anyone city based that could have got them for me that is coming to th...

Re: Romford

Like a lot on here I didn't know Romford, he did once PM me giving me some advice once on something, probably travel related. The advice was as you would expect good.
