Personally, I'd love to see the Tangerines stay up...it's great for the game! Holloway's interviews are worth it alone! Nice to see the spirit of Stanley Matthews alive & well down by the shore!

Stan the Man is a legend...or is that leg end lol.
The Tangerines were the first team I ever saw play, as my grandfather was from that neck of the woods. There were tears when I switched to the other 'pool.....btw Ciao Torres....

It is what it is....

As I said originally....she has no REAL power....you can tell me all day long that she can she can she can, but the fact is, she won't, she wouldn't...She knows her place...

The UK is a democracy that is governed by an elected parliament....

We are just going to have to agree to disagree....

Sorry Mazo! I started this thread to talk about happy things and here I just broke my own rule!

Holy crap you read my mind! I wish they'd put their royal asses on the street, damn freeloaders! The only reason she might have influence is because theres no one with nuts big enough to tell her to go f*** herself.


Now back to the topic . . . . someone think of something lol!

Stan's bio is a great read! Long...but a great read. Reminiscent of David Moraniss' bio of Vince Lombardi, When Pride Still Mattered, on this side of the pond.

If your boys keep it up, perhaps you can switch allegiances again. They're in the hunt for promotion...and without all of the asshats they overspent for in a vain attempt to stay up a few years back.

First team I ever saw play were the old Washington Diplomats, the year with Cruyff. My dad sang in a barbershop chorus that would get asked to perform the national anthem a couple of times a season. When Pele & the Cosmos hit town, you'd get 55K folk into RFK for the match. I suppose we could be forgiven for deluding ourselves that football would someday take it's place besides "throwball" as a big time sport over here!

Oh well...live & learn!

Yes, December really can be our best month. I remember when I lived in Europe I could not wait to come home for the holidays.I blamed it on having to visit my parents, but really I was just desperate to see warm weather. Summer can get pretty nasty I have nearly driven off the road because the fog is so heavy you can barely see two feet in front of you.

At least we have no snow

You talking 'bout Leeds? It will be a cold day in hell before I support them again after the clusterfuck players they were buying and playing at the turn of the century. Rapists? Racially motivated attacks? and not an ounce of remorse between them. Bad players, bad management. There's still a black cloud over them from all that fiasco....disgrace. Bring on the 'Pool! xxx

He & Cruyff were mere shadows of their former selves by then...but they were STILL fair & away the best two players on the pitch...lol..all of Giorgio Chinaglia's protestations to the contrary...

For your general amusement, check out the book & or documentary, Once In a Lifetime. Great thumbnail sketch of the rise & fall of the NASL from the New York Cosmos perspective.

I saw Beckham play (pre Posh spice) at Halifax...when Halifax were in the Vauxhall Conference lol. It was a cheap way to see Man Utd play...but man they whooped Halifax's ass lol. Beckham was probably just coming to his peak then and was still very shy. Great player to watch then...
I last saw him down at Gillette, playing the LA Galaxy. What a difference! He's too old now and much less focused...but he can still bend 'em...

Ok bed for me now or I'll be yakking about footie with you all night xxxxxx
