Um stating the obvious here, but any chance of posting the list with points? think we’d all like to see it?

According to this link off the BBC’s gossip page https://www.calciomercato.it/2022/11/15/calciomercato-patino-arsenal-blackpool-iniesta-barcellona/ Not a shred of attribution so no idea what the sources are, but Google translates as follows: “The school is the noble school of Hale End, the...

Southend away May 1988 last game of the season. Car broke down on A13 on the way in pouring rain. Finally got it going but only arrived covered in oil and grease in time for second half, parked up in some local side street. Lost 4-0, uncovered away end. When I returned to the car, some local...

and had their only shot on target, they only scored with a lucky o.g. Good luck to him but we move on…

Undefeated in qualifying, 70 goals scored, none conceded… but can they do it on a Tuesday night in Stoke (v Luxembourg) ? 😊

Watched it about a dozen times now on Sky, and no way is it serious foul play, it’s a deliberate trip, so a yellow. The response was serious foul play, just watch the side angle, and is a red. Surprised nobody has mentioned how Jimmy and Marv bossed the melee (as Sky call it) - great to see our...

Sadly this was only too true.

Ballard went off injured after 9 minutes. He’s susceptible to injuries. And Sunderland managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory in the last 5 minutes. Yes, not sure that’s a flyer.

I took flexi-retirement in the months leading up to normal retirement age - redundancy was never an option, my role wasn’t redundant (I helped recruit my successor). I loved it, 5 days down to 3, Thursdays became the new Friday, that Sunday night/ Monday morning feeling vanished overnight. One...

…and when we got promoted to the prem I will never forget how some lazy, ignorant, smart-arse hacks in the football press suggested we might get even fewer points - “are Blackpool the worst team ever to be promoted?…” etc. etc. And then we won 4-0 away on the first day. Soon shut that crap up!

Hi Jane, just to say congratulations on your article on Blackpool pubs in the new edition of Camra’s BEER magazine - a pleasant surprise to see you in there as guest contributor. 180,000 Camra members will read that, plus it’s very good timing, as this edition will be available to thousands of...

My Hudds supporting mate just reminded me they got stuffed 5-1 by Fulham first day last year - and their season didn’t end too badly…

Yes, Derby v Pool, 14 April 2015, he scored the second and didn’t celebrate. We were 3-0 down at half time. Maybe everyone has erased it from their collective memory - awful times?

York City were in the EFL until 2004, in Division 2 in the 70s. Back again in 2012, out again 2016.

I had all the above problems yesterday on iPhone. Once I got the repeated spinning wheel and “redirecting…” the penny dropped: I installed Chrome and everything just worked - linked my existing ST to new account and SSO all working sweetly. Someone suggested this on another thread so thanks to...

I did the 16 Bridges Walk last year, Putney to Tower - 23km, took 4 hours. Would be quicker mind if you didn’t walk over all the b****y bridges 😂

Maybe means Ian Hutchinson?

I agree but for some reason political posters don’t bother putting O/T in the subject. That really p***es me off after opening them
