Makes me so damned mad, I am aabsolutely sick of the media hate for a Club who do everything right.
;)
So spend beyond your means, buy useless priceless players…cheat, abuse referee’s, spout rubbish. Darlings of MOD, the Mail, Sky sports.However we are probably the best footballing side in the Prem, have a manager and staff who only want the best, an elequent manager, who’s first language is not ours but speaks a 100% better than those who are indigenous to these shores.
Yet they want to belittle and continually want to see us relegated..why?
Because we have no history. We didn’t win the cup when they still used a laced ball. We didn’t have crowds of 60,000 back in 1930, when they all smoked Woodbines or Silver Service. We’ve never had a legendary Jock manager who smoked a pipe and made bold statements. We’ve never had top class footballing legends called Stan or Tommy playing for us. I could go on.
Basically, we are in the process of MAKING history. If you look at other North West clubs, I think I’m right on saying that Bury haven’t done much since they won the cup twice in the first few years of the 1900’s. Nobody is alive to remember.
Preston were last finalists in 1964, I think. They lost to West Ham. They last won the cup in….oh lets see….was it 1934 or 1938? (I know George Mutch scored the winner from the spot)••
Bolton were last in a final in 1958, when they beat a patched up United side (after Munich) two nil.
Last time Blackpool played in a final, Stan Matthews was man of the match! Shows how long ago it was. (1953)
Burnley were beaten finalists in 1961. (by spurs)
Blackburn, including Mr Whelan, were beaten finalists in 1960.All these ‘historic’ clubs have all had their big moments, but its fair to say that there will not be many people around to actually remember them. They were back in the days of Pathe news black and white newsreels.
WE are currently making history;

You’re wrong, west ham last won the cup in 66, thought you’d have remembered that one ;)[/quote]
Nope. 1980 actually. They beat Arsenal. Everton won it in 66. Beat sheff wed 3-2.[/quote]

Do i really have to explain, 1,stop the media from guessing like everyone else, jesus it cant be hard, millwall had no problems in letting people know,So, the media knows the correct number of tickets sold, do they? All, they know from the FA is that 10,000 tickets have now been made available. The media is therefore now slating us because they now know for a fact that we have sold a maximum of 21,000.
What if we have actually only sold say, 15 or 16,000? How much stick would they give us then. They have enough guns, why on earth would we provide them with bullets?
So no, you don’t have to explain it to me. In fact, it’s probably the other way round, actually.
rossmci90 it is 90 mins wrong sport you knobYes I am aware. The point was that at 90 mins we’ll be singing about a return to Wembley rather than the score line. Furthermore, I don’t watch rugby. Finally, thanks for the warm greetings. You seem a lovely chap.

:blink:[/quote]To be fair on Dave im 37 and can remember having milk stopped at school so it must of happened later.
The club can’t disclose how many tickets we have sold, because they are still on sale until 12.00a.m. ;) Could be a mad rush in the last hour :)

Nope. Thatcher only got in in 1979, don’t forget.
I started school in 81. Must’ve been 81 or 82. I was 5 or 6.

Thatcher stopped the free milk in 1971 when she was education secretary.
isn’t google great from the telegraph
Harold Wilson’s Labour government stopped free milk for secondary school pupils in 1968 and then in 1971, Lady Thatcher, who was education secretary under Sir Edward Heath, ended free school milk for children over the age of seven.
Although the move gave her the nickname “Thatcher, Thatcher, milk-snatcher” and cemented the public view that she would ruthlessly cut spending, documents released recently suggest she had actually fought to save the grants. She was overruled by Sir Edward.
Despite the cuts many LEAs continued to provide free milk and in 1977 the EEC School Milk Subsidy Scheme was introduced to allow them to claim extra funding for secondary and primary milk sales
In 1978, further concessions to the Left were made and free milk was provided for children between seven and 12 from families dependent upon Income Support.
The 1980 Education Act added a further £25 million in EEC subsidies to LEAs to help subsidise milk in schools although six years later as part of an amendment they were told it could only apply to the very lowest income families.
In the 1995 Budget there were yet further cuts when the Conservative government withdrew even more subsidies.
Recently milk’s image as a naturally healthy food has come under attack. The Vegetarian and Vegan Foundation claimed it was not as healthy as alternatives and heart charities suggested it contributed to childhood obesity.
However, along with water, milk is the only drink that dentists recommend for regular consumption by children.I know some mad football stuff, considering I’m only 36!

Yeah, she may have done. But as I’ve said she stopped MINE in 81 or 82. That’s the point im making. End of debate. Fucks sake….
End of debate.Thank f*ck for that ;)
