Today is a day of rememberance and appreciation for ALL who fought against the Nazis and Fascists. My great uncle died on the beaches of Italy to make us safe from these cunts and their ideology. The least I can do is to continue to speak out against them, especially the ones in our own country who...

For me the poppy is a symbol of remembrance. A symbol and perhaps a few pennies towards supporting those who have chosen to serve in the armed forces. Few survivors now would be conscripts, I would guess.  Sometimes I buy one, sometimes I don't. It doesn't make a difference to my family history. I w...

Stick or twist?

Twist.

Admiring the tin roof at Barnsley.

Standing at the Leppings Lane End.

Waving at Devon and Cornwall's police helicopter.

Being mauled by the tigers.

The walk from the Bullring to St Andrews.

I enjoyed following us away in the Championship.
 

Lost Johnny is a cracking track. I remember seeing Wind of Change performed live at the Roundhouse around '77 - '78. I occasionally still give 'A space ritual' a spin, it still makes me smile.

Telstar Ponies - In the space of a few minutes.

Perhaps Nuno ought to pin a copy of these comments up in the dressing room before the game. If I was a player they would make me feel like kicking the shit out of anyone in front of me.

Luo Reed's Metal Machine Music, Part 3. Strange, this album; it sounds like it should irritate the fuck out of me, but, for me, it's akin to the early days of trying to listen to Radio Luxembourg (on 208m medium wave) or some short wave music station from god knows where - my brain keeps thinking &...

I remember him taking over after Revie and bringing some dignity and integrity back to the role of England Manager.  In a European Chgampionship qualifier v Denmark we won away 3-4. After the match the interviewer asked him if he was concerned that England had let in three, and he patiently explaine...

Thanks Billy, I am aware of the German one but will look up the French one. The German one appears in the Film Chsitiane F. I think.

Good morning everyone. This one opens up an interesting tangent. Scott Walker.  Jacky. Alex Harvey.   Next Bowie.   Amsterdam. The original versions all by Belgian singer / songwriter / actor Jacques Brel of course. Amsterdam was what led me to discovering Brel, who sang in French. Luckily I have en...

Sweet Thing on David Live perhaps.

Does anyone agree that rather than the 'original song' it's often the one you hear first which you prefer and take as the 'original' and therefore are more likely to like.  Put another way, have you ever heard the original version and preferred it to a later version which you had heard first? For in...

This may be sacrilige for some on here but I found George Michael's version of Roxanne so different from the 'Police' original that it was well worth a listen.

Yeah, I saw that, thanks. There are more comments on FaceSpace too. Not having used AXS before I'm wondering if a plain blue screen is normal for a queue, that's all.

Anyone else having problems getting past the queue on this. All I have is a plain blue screen with AXS and a slogan at the top. 

My laptop has anti-virus so there's no point my wiping my knob on it.

 

I find this an interesting topic. I presume that we have few fixed assets; Rush Green perhaps? The value in the club must be in its turnover, player contracts, TV rights - others can complete the list. But it strikes me that the value of these can plummet with relegation which is why I was against t...

I bloody hope not, I've just decorated the hall.

I'm guessing because you can borrow against its value which until now since I've been alive has always been increasing in value above inflation. In my humble opinion. Ready to be corrected if someone knows better.

It was a few years back since I've been there but the Irish Pub used to show the football. It's on the Kurfurstendamm between KDW and the memorial church. Closest underground by the looks of it is Kurfurstendamm. Would be worth checking first. www.irishpubberlin.de   https://www.bing.com/th/id/OLC.T...

Good post but Urchins are gonna muller you on 5th Sept  Good evening Mr XKHammer, I have had the pleasure of visiting your atheletics stadium in the freezing cold a couple if years back just before Christmas. It wasn't for an Ebbsfleet game sadly, but for a pre-Xmas piss up. (Pick a match, get piss...

  The club is hamstrung bya lack of investment and lease situation. The board is mostly made up of well meaning and hard working long term fans but they need a big hitter to come in and invest heavily. Anyone doing this would want overall control which would initially be problematic due to the he n...
