      Paul Heaton, of the housemartins and the beautiful south. great, great songwriter very underated, It was said that 1 in every 3 households in th uk have owned “carry on up the charts” by the beautiful south. amazing.

      I haven’t. That means one of my neighbours either side has. Knew there’d be something to bring down the neighbourhood :(

        You normally find proper tribute bands e.g Bootleg Beatles, Australian Pink Floyd, Stone Roses Experience etc are technically better performers and singers than the originals but alas, they’re not the Real McCoy. I’m not talking about have a go rubbing rags who play local pubs and clubs here, I’m talking properly trained musicians who put on really good shows. The Beatles were the greatest studio band ever but notoriously bad live.

        All Robbie Williams tribute acts will be better than the original, by the way.

          Good point, well made but rather than reply to their reply, I would’ve left it at that.

          Nice to see them giving a decent explanation though.

            There are four people sat on a train, an Englishman, a Frenchman, a young lady and an older lady.

            The train goes through a tunnel and when it comes out the Frenchman is nursing a huge slap mark on his cheek.

            The Frenchman thinks the Englishman must have put his hand on the young lady’s lap and she thought it was him so she slapped him.

            The older lady thinks the Frenchman must have tried it on with the young lady and got a slap for his troubles.

            The young lady thinks the Englishman must have tried it on with the older lady and she slapped the Frenchman by mistake.

            The Englishman thinks ‘I wish we could go through another tunnel so I can give that French tw*t another slap’.

                ”We’re getting entertaining games these days a la yesterday”

                We’re also getting some complete & total pigswill a la Wolves, Blackpool, United, Everton, Arsenal, Hull & Pompey

                I make it Pigswill 7 v 6 Good!!

                I did say I’d only seen the home games and bar Wolves and a decent 55 minutes against United, the ones you mention are all away.

                The ‘patient’ build up can be a bit frustrating but it’s not as bad as the first couple of games where the back four looked like fish out of water.

                I stick by what I say and I think the (home) games have been more entertaining recently. It’s going the right way.

                  I think he’s got the team playing really good football, well that’s at least the games I’ve seen this season (all the home games). He just needs a couple more quality players to make it really come off.

                  The quality of football with this team is miles better than some of the dirge served up in past seasons. We’re getting entertaining games these days a la yesterday.

                    They were only saying what us lot in the ground were saying about the away support – Rome on Thursday or Wigan on Sunday?

                    It was a bit tongue in cheek but I was more irked that they highlighted the empty seats thing, mainly due to the away following of 298 in a 5000 seater stand :roll:

                      I’m with The Duke. I too still call it the JJB. DW makes JJB look positively classy.

                      A sign of a very egotistical man to name the stadium with his initials.

                      Oh and the DW logo looks like it was knocked up in about two seconds flat. Proper classy :roll:

                        …player(s) we’ve signed since we got promoted?

                        My top 10 would be

                        1. Julius Aghahowa
                        2. Kristopher Haestad
                        3. Andrew Webster
                        4. Josip Skoko
                        5. Svetoslav Todorov
                        6. Solomon Olembe
                        7. Caleb Folan
                        8. Marlon King
                        9. Jason Scotland
                        10. Mido

                        Can’t argue with most of them. Don’t think Skoko was as bad as that and at least Scotland’s a tryer. Nice to see owd Julius top of the tree though ;)

                          So losing 4-0 against the bottom club is kind of ok then?

                          “OK”, it is not.

                          “Kind of OK”, I think, is exactly what LHL was implying, points-wise.[/quote]

                          I think there are certain political parties out there who could use this kind of spin on events.

                          ‘You see, it doesn’t matter that we lost 4-0 against the bottom club because we beat another relegation rival 3-1 the week before. When you put these events together and into perspective, we actually gained a point more than we forecast and hoped for. Therefore, we can class this as a positive result.’

                          Yeah, it’s growing on me.

                                You must be the most annoying poster on any message board anywhere in the whole wide world. What you don’t know isn’t worth knowing. Talk about change like the weather? You could teach the weather an awful lot.
