Just finished This Town Thoroughly enjoyable

She wrote shit stories about a boy who isn’t quite what he thinks he is And made herself quite a bit of money So folk didn’t like her Then she had opinions about boys (and girls) who weren’t quite what they think they were And folk hated her even more. Because she was rich. And famous. And had an opinion. Simples

Aye we were sat next to a load of Stokies in the Wing Stand. Absolutely leathered and hugging everyone Edit: yep didn’t take long for normal service/hostilities to be resumed

Was really looking forward to The Secret War on BBC. About an American documentary following IRA active service units in NI in 72 and how the film disappeared, collusion with the security services, etc Remember watching a few years ago when the film first resurfaced. Shocking at the time. McGuiness prepping a car bomb, top IRA bods demonstrating how to use weapons, make car bombs, etc This was rehashed bollox desperately trying to find an angle on the original documentary. Shite

Last game I went to with my dad My Stoke mate was there. It was their “Promotion Commotion” game iirc. Was it that game that one of their lot scaled a floodlight on the embankment?

Same. Was shocked when I saw what league they were in

Derby did well tonight. Got a good point. Fair play But if there’s one club capable of fucking things up as good as us it’s them No happy clapper here but the fat lady hasn’t even started rehearsing yet It’s down to us. Forget who has the easier run in. They’ll drop points. No idea where, they are as unpredictable as us. We just need to grind it out

Agree

Noted

It is indeed. Some fascinating historical stuff that I knew nowt about

Latest ‘Sunderland til I die’ popped up on Netflix recently Good watch. Season we gubbed them 6-0 Their run in at the end of that season has echoes of us now. Snatching draws from winnable games. Won the playoffs in the end Is where we are at

Some player he was. Hard as fucking nails but skilful with it

Mrs opened an Amazon Prime account for the shite that she orders. All of a sudden anything I order is free next day delivery and I can access Prime on the telly. Must be linked to our address I guess as I’ve never registered? No extra charges so guessing @bolty58 you’ve been scammed mate

Aye was also there. Even from the away section you could see it was a bad one. Seem to remember when asked about it Holden put it down to one of those things that happen and absolved Evans of blame. No idea if he ever changed his mind on that

Sad that she’s had to come out and reveal what she’s going through. Deeply personal and absolutely nobody’s fucking business other than her’s and her family’s State of the world now. Depressing

I see Harvey Elliott turned his collar up in the U-21 game and the flag couldn’t be seen Piss my sides if players do it tomorrow Not that I actually give a shit other than watching folk froth about a stupid flag on a stupidly priced shirt

Went to a fundraising dinner round here quite a few years ago (Old Mostonians I think) and he was the main event. Sadly he was utterly dreadful but best Sportsman’s Dinner I’ve ever been to purely due to the fact that I got half an hour on my own with him talking about his Bolton days and a signed menu with a personal message. Bit like players now always run to ESL corner when they’ve scored he always aimed for the Burnden Paddock. They say “never meet your heroes”. Fuck right off. Made my year that night

Couldn’t make a choice between the two tbh. Although The Clash were first and have a bigger, better catalogue of songs Actually really interested in the Poly Styrene story.

Yep. Looking forward to it. The two programmes following it look good as well - one about The Clash, other about Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex Heads up @bolty58 if you weren’t aware

No way United should have won that but by Christ that’s how you win a game. Sheer effort. Fair play

Wow. And a red card

Belting game. Scousers should have been out of sight in normal time

Listened on the wireless McGinlay and Dearden saying Bod should have easily scored. Reading it was a worldie save. Which one? Or a bit of both?

In a corporate box that day. Closest I’ve been to being removed from a ground. Got officially told to button it. Unofficially got a bottle of Coke lobbed at me
