          Yes they would (I believe), but to get a work-permit they would have to show they were an exceptional talent.

          Which would cover most of the Premier League signings. Residency rules would then give others a way in. Basically it would be the same as we have now for non-EU players, and there seem quite a lot of them.

            I’ve actually got “The League – At Last” in front of me as I read your post. I was looking something up a few days ago.

              I actually went to the Scottish Cup Final last week, in among the ICT supporters, and I must admit thinking that Billy boy could have been out there prancing around with a cup, instead of bench-warming at a team that got relegated to the third level.

                Good choices.

                I’d agree 1,2, 4 and 5, but I’d have Neil Roberts’ goal against Man City in the League Cup. The first time we took City’s big-name scalp.

                I know you asked for 5 but number 6, just missing out, would be finally beating Man United.

                /By the way – for the Reading game I think you mean East Stand/

                  Of Springfield Park.

                  The piss stones with a mixture of baccy that ran an ockery yellow adjacent to the Phoenix Stand. The vile stench of the only shit house on the ground, dungeon like and forever in darkness with no bog roll under the Pheonix stand. The smell of hot dogs , burgers and pies. That fantastic smell of aromatic pipe baccy that whifted across the pop side. That stale ale smell near the supporters club. The smell of countless brands of cigs being smoked. The smell of wintergreen. On occasions when the pop side was allmost full the fart odurs that used to slowly work their way up the terrace. Jumping Jimmys lads pits. Faberge Brut in the late seventies.

                  On many occasions the sweet smell of success which 37 years ago yestersday resulted in Latics being elected to the league.

                  You didn’t mention the smell of wacky-baccy as well.

                    I am sure they could have done it a little better.

                      Liverpool were champions in 88 but Wimbledon actually finished 7th yet it is seen as one of the biggest upsets of all time. I simply don’t see it. If it was Sunderland beating dirty Leeds it may be understandable.

                      Besides the point that we view our win through rose-tinted glasses (and I agree fully it was amazing and a moment that will never be bettered in my footballing life) and that while amazing we could ask in all the major FA moments where does it lie, we also have to remember that this was a compilation for a TV show.

                      They have to balance it out. They can’t have a run of Liverpool games, or 1950s games for example. The order meant nothing.

                      Enjoy the fact that little Wigan were even in there.

                      And most of all remember that day in May 2013. Wherever it comes in a list made up by some producer.

                        Just renewed no queue

                        One more renewal and not a queue in sight. That’s 26 and counting.[/quote]

                        Well there’s me, son and grandson – that’s up to 29.
                        We may actually break the 30 mark.

                          Can’t c a damn thing in the east stand when the sun is out.

                          That’s why I wear a baseball cap. Easy.

                              This is the thread about ghoul-keepers, isn’t it?

                                Are you not a bit long in the tooth for this type of thing Garswood?

                                I’m certainly not going to bite at that sort of comment
