Sympathy vote time here – but when I was little (and we are talking 1950s here) I always wanted my Dad to take me to Anfield. He always promised, but never did. I really wish he had.
Enjoy taking your kids to football.
Yes – they will get bored, want to know when it’s orange juice time, want to wander off.
But they will be so grateful later as you will have given them a life time obsession.
And if they’re not you can always leave them out of your will :)
You haven’t missed anything Garswood. I went to Anfield once in the home end to watch them lose to Leicester. Being 6ft 4″ i find it difficult to sit in stadiums as it is but at Anfield a midget would struggle for ball space. The most uncomfortable i have ever been in a stadium, And i have probably been to about half of them in the football league.
owd woman in bus station was telling me i looked like Cristiano Ronaldo but taller. Mates dad says it too.
Failing that, i used to get Jim Carrey when i was younger.
I got box (or whatever it’s called in one of the suites) tickets given to me for my birthday a few years ago, and I took my six week old son. We got to meet Kirkland after the match, and he had just become a dad again around the same time – so he had his picture taken with him, and as I handed him my son – I just couldn’t resist and said ‘Dont drop him’!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Did he laugh?
And was injured, He is one of the main links to this squad. His work rate is as good as any i have seen any in a Latics shirt.
please change your picture but i like what you wroteI think it’s quite comical, Sums up the Dave of old with humour like that :cheer: :cheer:
On the subject. Why has Rio Ferdinand been fined £200k for not doing something that he doesn’t believe in. It isn’t a mandatory thing and he has his own mind. I think it is a disgrace and no person in either the F.A or Man Utd can say yes or no to.
Freddy Kanoute went to Seville and refused to wear the shirt because of the gambling websites’ sponsor and caused all kinds of trouble with everyone concerned, But in the money making scheme of things it was a major blow for the team and city. They gave him a sponsor free shirt to accommodate him.
I know it isn’t the same thing, But if a human being believes in something he or she thinks is wrong then who is anybody to say different. Especially if the person in question isn’t actually doing anything wrong other than standing up to what they believe in.
Football is getting waaaaaaay to political.
The fundamental thing about this sport is all about kicking a bag of wind about a grassy patch of land for 90 mins a week.
As the joker once said ‘why so serious’
I just sat there like a tit for about 15 mins trying to work that out in my drunken state then realised to turn my speakers on :blush: :oops: :oops: :oops:
What happened to him, He was forging himself a great CV then he started to take clubs backwards. The warning signs were there with Sheff Wed that he cannot work without funds but to be failing so dramatically is worrying for him. He will soon be in the lower reaches of football management.
Dear me, An innocent question that should have only had 1 reply and has chalked up 10 already……………..The board is screwed
Are you talking about the bloke who sometimes plays with a Chinese lad called Ray? If so, he’s called Warren.Griff would be happy with that. Warren’s ten years younger!
No Standish, Not seen them before. I’m sure i would remember someone so distinctive :P
Thty, Stop trying to create the divide between the board again. I have spotted you trying to do it a few times now.
You are going to have to elaborate on scapegoat because that is not the case and you are wrong. So far Ramis has been poor and a good few goals that could have been prevented by us have gone through him. That isn’t making a scapegoat, That is saying how it is. Why tred on egg shells saying he is doing well if he just isn’t. He might do in time but i very much doubt it. That is where i disagree with Standish. I think his lack of pace in a league where it is bombed from end to end will be the undoing of him here. He would have been well suited at West Ham though if he had gone there because as you say, He is strong in the air and his vision from the back going forward seems very good.
If our system and the way we play cant get maximum points out of West Ham it really will be panic time. And the rumblings start again. Fans (in general) will not pay if there is no value for money and/or no attempt to amend results or the squad.
end of the day we have known for a while what our weakness is and will be,
failure to address it year in year out is why we struggle as we do
blame lies at the hands of one person onlyIf he had a bigger budget to work with I’m sure it would be addressed.[/quote]
I thought it was addressed with the 5m signing of Ramis.
I knew his pace would ruin his chances in this league. You have to have great feet to compensate for lack of pace in this league but he doesn’t have either. I reserved judgement after Chelsea but i haven’t seen anything different from him unfortunately :( :(
You will probably find that these migrant workers have filled the void left by the work shy unemployed who refuse to see any benefit (no pun intended) in taking a job and no matter what the governments try to do will more than likely find an excuse. In an ideal world we will see the young coming into the job market and taking these jobs.
Whilst sharing your views on the workshy younguns it is unfair to tar them all with the same brush many younguns can’t find jobs especially round the Wigan area with places shutting left ,right and center there is also an unbalanced view to the labour market with many older folk working past there retirement age thus taking a big chunk of the jobs that should be available to the younger end .
A lot of firms don’t bother to write back to you anymore even if you apply for a job these days ,Maybe we should of kept the coal mines open and steelworks which a certain bitter old bag shut down putting thousands out of work and actually being encouraged to go on the sick by that government of the time which then sprouted a generation of layabouts that we see today[/quote]
Thty i can’t believe i am going to say this but i agree with you 5000%. I couldn’t be in agreement more.
Look what they did to me in the 80’s, I was asking every bugger for a job ;) ;)
Seriously, I do agree with everything you say. I have been saying the same stuff for a long long time.
I’d be a hypocrit to be against it because I have worked a lot in other countries and think it’s great that anybody can go anywhere in Europe to work for a while.
Time for the really controversial comment that a few people are really going to hate, but if you have knuckled down and become really good in your field of work, you wouldn’t worry about anybody else taking your job, be it English, Polish, robots or them little green buggers from Mars. The country as a whole has been far too lapse in recent years thinking that we will be prosperous because we have been for centuries. Unfortunately, times are changing and other countries are fast catching up to us and overtaking us. Unfortunately, it’s often far too easy to blame everybody else but ourselves when we don’t get what we want from life.
Let the abuse begin…
I’m in total agreement with you.
My argument on the last thread was with people presuming Eastern European are coming to the UK to sponge off society, when in actual fact a vast majority of them are coming here to work, and work bloody on the whole, to earn money.[/quote]
You can’t compete with someone who wants to work bloody goodpost[/quote]
Of course, I was referring to butchers…[/quote]Good save ;)
I don’t have a problem with the Eastern block migrants coming over and working because as Standish says, They DO work very hard. I have a problem with Middle-Eastern migrants coming over though. The majority are scroungers and i detest their religious beliefs and teh sly way the look at our women.
The overall problem is that the amount of immigrants allowed in is just far to many.
