  1. Good news at last. Mind you if the defence try to stop him he can just chew his way through them, that's some set of knashers he's got.

    From Wiki

    In November 2010, Ajax suspended Suárez for two league matches after he bit PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal on the shoulder during their 0–0 draw on 20 November 2010. He was also fined an undisclosed amount which the club said they would donate to a "good cause". The Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf branded Suarez the “Cannibal of Ajax”. The KNVB penalized Suárez with a suspension for seven league matches

  2. Before we all lynch Nando, all I'll say is we should take with a massive pinch of salt what SSN, Talksport and the London media sources are saying.

     

    I'm not naive and I don't for one second disbelieve that his head has been turned over the past year or so, and with good reason given the state of us. I also don't buy the idea that he had no intention of leaving last summer either. But this bid looks to me like a massive piece of opportunism and shit stirring by them lot. If they where serious about getting him they'd have made the move in early Jan. Even if Nando gets down on his knees and begs the club there's fuck all chance we'd sell him in January with 3 days to go. It would be suicide.

     

    Chelsea have just lost out in their long pursuit of David Luiz. They are slipping in the league with an ageing squad and the fans are getting on the club's back. This bid looks like a handy bit of PR on their part, because even they must know that they really have fuck all chance of getting him now. They may well be sowing their seeds and turning his head for a proper bid in the summer, but I'd take little notice of the shite coming out of Sky at the moment as it's probably coming straight from Chelsea. He won't be going any where, yet.

     

    Good post and l agree, "wants to believe"... with all of this.

  3. Was that the game when Dalglish went off with a bust jaw ? As he was being subbed he made some hand gesture to the UTD fans.

     

    That train scene reminded me of a time we were on the ordinary to OT. As the train passed OT someone pulled the emergency cord and when the train stopped' date=' everyone got off the train which had stopped beyond the station. We all made our way to the ground by walking along the tracks. What was shown in that vid was child's play compared to some of the stuff that went on back then.[/quote']

     

    I remember an incident similar to that, probably not the same incident as someone has said cord pulling was a regular occurrence back then, it wasn't around 83,84,85 ish was it?

    Anyway we had been for a few bevvies in manc city centre and we jumped on a train at Oxford road to OT. We got near the ground and the train had to slow right down because there were all these lads all over the tracks, no colours on.

    Next thing bricks started raining in from all angles. We were stood up and my mate was stood next to the door, this brick came in and l swear it was about the size of a kerbstone, luckily it hit just below the glass.

    Our train eventually made it to the station, but yeah ......mad.

  4. Derby away in the 1975/76 season was far worse. Went on for over an hour with running battles from the Baseball ground to at least two miles away.

     

    I've heard people talk about that one although l didn't start going to Anfield till 77. Spurs away in the cup was also a bit rough, can't remember the year, maybe early eighties. lt was the game where Terry Mac scored with that half volley.

  5. l was also at that game, didn't see any trouble because l was stood on the kop and then went straight in the pub after. When l arrived at Lime Street before the game there were gangs of lads milling around, you could just sense something as you always could when we played the mancs.

    Also the fa cup semi at woodison and the reply at maine road in 85, the most trouble l've ever seen.

  6. Sky have revolutionised the way football is shown in this part of the world. Before them, stadiums were in most cases, dumps, there were a handful of live games per year, a half-hearted irregular poorly-timed highlights show, and no 24h rolling sports news coverage, hardly any magazine shows or documentaries.

     

    I remember those days ......it was fucking ace.

  7. Like Wow ....RIP :(

     

    Gerry Rafferty dies aged 63 | Music | The Guardian

     

    The singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty, whose songs such as Stuck in the Middle with You, Baker Street and Get it Right Next Time soundtracked the 1970s, has died aged 63 after a long illness.

     

    His family said he died at home peacefully with his daughter Martha this morning.

     

    The Scot was born in Paisley, near Glasgow, played with Billy Connolly's folk outfit the Humblebums, and co-founded the soft-rock group Stealer's Wheel, before enjoying a successful solo career. Baker Street, released in 1978, was still netting him £80,000 a year more than 30 years later.

     

    Rafferty endured battles with the music industry – once taking three years to disentangle contracts – and a problem with alcohol. When he was a child his mother would drag him round the streets of Glasgow, rather than risk his suffering violence at the hands of his Irish-born father, who would often come home drunk.

     

    Although sure of his own abilities, Rafferty was fearful of working with stars such as Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. On occasion his drinking would lead him to smashing cases of expensive wine.

     

    He divorced from his wife Carla – who he met at a dancehall when she was 15 and married five years later – in 1990. She said: "There was no hope. I would never have left him if there'd been a glimmer of a chance of him recovering."

     

    Rafferty, having once owned a Kent farm and a home in Hampstead, moved to California to be near Martha, before moving to Ireland in 2008 and later Dorset.

     

    In recent years, he was better known for alcohol-fuelled incidents, apparent disappearances and poor health than for his music. His last album, Another World, was released in 2000.
