Atticus Finch

Kinell, it's depressing reading these transfer threads as it is, if he signs for them we can just say how shit & overrated he is.

I don't think we are are we? I've read nothing substantial to say we are actually in negotiations for either player.

Have Spurs registered their interest yet?

His name was Simon Smith? Wonder how the bear is?

Always assumed you were from over the pond not Howden & Haltemprice area.

Don't be, he was in with him

The Bearded Clam

When's it due?

This thread reminds me of a home game back sometime in the early 80's, every home game we'd drive over on Saturday morning and park in the Stanley park car park and we used to have a kick about before the car park started filling up before going on for a pre match pint at the supporters club then in to the Kop for it opening at 1pm. This particular day, we finished playing and there was a group of young lads about 8 or 9 years old and they asked if they could borrow our ball, gave them the ball as it was only an old one I kept in the boot of the car and jokingly said "make sure you bring it back mind" as we walked off, never expecting to see it again. After the game and back to the car, it was dark so must have been winter time and there's this one young lad waiting by the car with the ball in his hand. "Brought your ball back mister" he says, felt a bit of a twat so I made all my mates chip in and we gave this young lad a pound note each (which shows how long ago it was), off he went in to the night with a handful of pound notes and I let him keep the ball.

Recently saw a tribute band to Thin Lizzy called Limehouse Lizzy, very good and the lead singer looked and sounded very much like Lynott

Rudgate Ruby mild, a very nice award winning beer, brewed just up the road from me.

Talking of taking a bullet, has anyone heard from RP recently?

I love an ellection, I think I've got one now.

I bet it was you who started the trend of cutting the bobble off and wearing it like a tea cosy

Lads I need some advice, I've just been offered 8 legs of Venison for £20.....is it too dear?

Not if I can help it

Cheese with pickled red cabbage is the toastie of choice in the Finch household

It will turn out for the best, running a pub in Lincolnshire would have been like running the pub in Royston Vasey, a local pub for local people.

Well done Al you rarely fail to disappoint

Good job he wasn't on the Kop back in the early 80's, think it was against York in the fa cup reply, Jan Molby tackled their big black centre forward who went down and needed treatment, Kop started singing "Rambo smacked a sambo".

3 - Bobby Robson

Repped for quoting from an old XTC song there Al.
