Yes, I thought exactly the same, he’s cool, uncomplicated, no fuss, just does his job with ease and technically is probably our best player (at the moment)..
Yes, you’re bang on, that’s exactly what he did say.. he didn’t buy our fish & chips though the tight arse wazzock. I still have the recorded vhs as well. But no video to play it on. 🤣
That Hull game brings back memories of stardom for me.. we were filmed eating fish & chips with Rob Palmer outside a chippy which was shown on Granada’s kick-off show!
One Christmas Day when I was about seven, I came downstairs in my new football strip.. red shirt, black shorts and BLUE socks 😳 asked my dad which team it was and he said “Manchester United I think” - so I was a scummer for a couple of years with a huge poster of George Best on my bedroom wall which my brothers used to throw darts at 😁
Then in 1972/73 my brother took me to my first game at Burnden, sat on the huge steps on the embankment v York City. We lost 0-1 but I was hooked and never returned to the dark side.
Good job I had an older brother to show me the right path..
A chap at work used to be a Bury Season Ticket holder (I don’t know who the other one was) and he’s now a Utd supporter - makes my piss boil that!
if we’d gone under I would’ve gone watching Chorley..
Interesting point that.
when we were a decent team I used to enjoy watching the match with a relatively clear head (2 pints max) that way I could appreciate the game from a tactical perspective.
since we’ve been shite I tend to prefer watching with a fuzzy head (up to 4 pints & a hip flask for regular in-match top ups) this method seems to help me get through the 90 mins without contemplating suicide!
Cheese is bonkers, I love it (especially a strong cheddar or Stilton) but it’s all aver the place and tries to be so many different things, it gets confused about it’s true identity and nobody knows what’s going to turn up next.. (Smoked Cheese or Cheese with bits of fruit is just Crackers!)
