TLAs everywhere! (Three letter abbreviations)

I went to my first match in March 1969. I was nearly 7. For some time I’d wanted to go with my dad. He’d bring the programme home and reading that took me rapidly from causing concern about my reading progress to devouring everything football related such as Goal and Shoot. The 4-1 win over...

Dewsbury-Hall today

I think my dog could manage that Leicester squad to be top of the championship.

The twat deserved the grief he got, kicking the ball into the crowd.

Still smoke signals from the Ponderosa!

If only Mark and Adi would read this forum and take the advice generously proffered, they’d be even better.

Me and the lad had a season ticket at Cov when SISU held CCFC hostage in Northampton. League 1 playing the likes of Old Albanian in front of 800 as you say. Mind you that was still relatively good support for rugby in that division. First watched Cov at Coundon Road in the glory days of the...

Block 15 as usual with the lads. Given my gentle advance towards senility and decorum I’m usually selective in joining in with the singing but I expect to turn the dial up to full bellow on Boxing Day.

I was also at the infamous match, at the tender age of 15. Kick off was delayed as 38,000 tried to pay at the turnstiles, including 15,000 from Bristol. We were 2-0 up and cruising. The fact is that if Sunderland got a point at Everton then either us or Bristol would go down. Bristol came back...

Used to be the way in the West End in the 70s. Two parallel barriers from back to front about a metre apart, filled with coppers, with both sets of fans flobbing at each other across the divide. The good old days.

A few years ago went to the old Dell at Southampton one bitter winter day with the old man who was about 63 then. Half time dad opened a hip flask with whiskey in it. One of their stewards told him to put it away. Old man told him to fuck off and nearly got arrested. Would have been one of the...

Glad you’re ok

Went toe to toe with a Premier League standard squad, not just an eleven. Could and should have won. Goals change games and 2-0 to us would have probably made their home atmosphere toxic and made it very hard for them to come back. 1-1 gave them momentum and they took advantage. No doubt they...

That’s football. Pity is that it feels a bit like Wembley. We should have scored three and then we’d have won, but we missed sitters. Under the cosh first half but all over them second. We were stood right next to the mutants and when we were on top they all turned their backs and could’t look...

Standing on a box as a kid so as to see.

Some of their former big wigs should really be in prison. Is it too late for Duggins, Reeve, Maton & Co to fund a rescue package? I suspect if the full truth ever came out there might be several collars felt by Inspector Knacker, as never has a relationship looked more corrupt. Likewise...
