    Was there good reason for him not saying goodbye?

    Seems to me it all comes down to this question. - (1) If he had said goodbye at the time, we would have been disappointed but many more of us would have been OK with him leaving. - (2) If he didn’t make a statement simply because he didn’t care that much, I think we’d all agree that’s a big...

    We ended Paul Scholes’ career

    About 3 minutes and 20 seconds in, said after playing us he was completely fucked and started looking forward to the end. Gary prétends to not remember us in the Prem.

    Gazette & Fleetwood Town

    Did I miss something? Just gone on the BG website for the first time in years and that whole FTFC section has disappeared. Love to see it, just wondering why?

    Hello tangerine family, I’m wondering if there’s any other exiles living out in Canada that use AVFTT? Can’t say I remember seeing many over the years.

    PNE rivalry and WW1

    Random question for those of you more acquainted with local history than myself (probably everybody). I was just reading about Lancashire in WW1, and came across a tale of local sandgrownuns getting pissed off when Lord Derby made an appeal for locals to join his regiment. Supposedly it caused a...

    Chizzy and Brett - back together again!

    Was just appreciating the pre match camera work and to my delight the garbled ramblings of a certain self-described commentator suddenly sparked into life, followed by that of the twirl wielding champion of sandgrown hearts shortly afterwards. It can only mean one thing - the stars are aligning...

    Chant suggestion

    As a club that likes to break records, it dawned on me we should be the first to adopt a reggae terrace chant. Actually it occurred to me thinking of Rangers’ Aribo but thankfully we’ve a CB who just about fits the tune To the tune of Amigo by Black Slate: A-Keogh, A-Keogh, A-Keogh-woaahh...

    Image Request - Stan ont' Beach

    I used to have a massive, super HQ wallpaper sized version of this image on my PC and used it as my wallpaper for years. It's probably my favourite picture ever. Just moved to a new country and on a new laptop, and I can't find it again. Anybody else got the full HQ version on their computer...

    Netflix series The Lost Pirate Kingdom

    Anybody watched all of this? It’s absolutely bloody brilliant. Basically glued different bits of individual pirates’ histories together to make a really compelling narrative. It’s made me realise that Long John Silver, Jack Sparrow and the like have distracted our collective imagination from...

    FAO The Chizraelites

    Evening, Hallowed Few, in the year of our Chizz. I’m thinking of making a simple Chizraelites/ChizzyChizzyvision T-Shirt design and I want to load the entire thing with absolutely every possible iconic phrase or one-off legendary changer. If we rack our brains I’m sure we’ll have more than...

    FAO Seasiders in European Exile

    I know this probably will apply to very few people, if any! But I’ll be watching the final on a big projector at my gaff in Amsterdam, with plenty of beers in the fridge and a few adopted Dutch Seasiders there in support. Any Seasiders that can make it are more than welcome. UTP - let’s do this🧡🍊

    The Preview Show thoughts?

    I generally think it’s a good show, really well produced. Maybe it’s a testament to how good it is that I can’t help but think of ways it could be better Ged Mills strikes me as somebody more comfortable on radio, always avoids eye contact and holds his hands between his legs like you would in...

    Anybody have a spare hanging planter for garden??

    Random request folks and not expecting anything really, but my elderly Nana has been let down repeatedly by some catalogue she ordered her planters from (think she said 22 inch is the mount on her wall), they’ve delayed her for the third month in a row. I don’t live in the Pool any more and it’s...

    Scudamore interview with GN

    Anybody seen it yet? It's quite interesting. One bit that made me spit out my brew was when he said something like 'name me one owner who has joined the PL 20 since Portsmouth who has not been fit and proper' are you ** joking!!!! Premier League failed to enforce ban on Owen Oyston at...
