  1. I've said before on here that the greatest football night of my life was at Ewood park  when he stroked that one home. For younger supporters they will probably never experience away followings like that all 4 sides of the ground erupted and on the pitch after was just unforgettable. For that night alone the man is a real legend.

  2. Very good friend of mine is a Cambridge lad season ticket holder and knows his football, told me when we signed Taft that in his opinion it would fail as in my mates words hes flatters to deceive and Cambridge wouldn't be weakened by his loss. Good enough for me.

    Not always easy, but likewise always buy British if I can. 

    Write to your supermarket if you think they could do more. 

    Farm shop I go to always has big Spanish onions, but I choose the local ones for example. The French apples can get to fuckery.

    Aye I chuck blueberries on my porridge in a morning fucking Peru they are from, how old are they .?

    Perhaps there should be a concerted effort amongst us all to buy British wherever possible, even if it means a few quid more, just to stimulate the economy post pandemic post Brexit?

    I've been trying that for years fucking hell its impossible, before you start on big purchases like cars and electrical appliances, I once spent ages in one of the supermarkets looking for an English apple they came from the four corners of the planet but not England.

    Bit unfair that- folk are often working, or without the capabilites to look after old folk with complex needs. Cant be an easy decision. 

    Aye you are right mate , wasn't meaning to be unfair , my old mum ended her days in a home, we simply couldn't have her its its often how it is.

    I imagine there wouldn’t have necessarily been the same level of international travel for it to spread quite so easily either. 

    Also I don't think their was as many owd folks in homes, now they live longer and we pack em off to care homes because we don't want them at home.

  7. The questions probably been begged before but for anyone kicking around in the 70's would we even have batted an eyelid at the virus ? No 24hour news channels, no social media, only 25 or 30 years since the end of WW11 , life didn't seem valued the same.

  8. Feel sorry for young uns , its a magical time and passes so quickly, its a fookin long time ago but i dont think a squadron of SAS would have kept me in the house as a teenager. Then again I don't think it would have been like this int 70's we'd have just cracked on and died.

    Really has been a f**ker of a year, hasn't it?

    I lost my favourite aunt this year (non-COVID), despite the very best efforts of the amazing Bolton Hospice, which is partly why the wife and I raise funds for them.

    Just want to pass on my most sincere condolences to all of you who have lost loved ones, COVID or otherwise, this year. In most cases I'll not have seen or known your relatives, but I'm sure they'll be sorely missed. I did, however, know Bolty's dad from years back and he was a good man, well liked around Bolton. 

    A silent toast tonight to all we've lost in 2020 and I hope we all have a better 2021.

    Love to all of you and your families,
    Uncle Traf xxx

    I'd like to second Trafs sentiments 100%

  10. Ive often wondered how it would pan out if everyone had the same amount of money to spend on players and wages, would that find the best manager. Look at the list of players the great Sir Alex could afford to sign and disregard Djemba djemba and Jonesy are not the worst!

    The likes of Chelsea, Leicester and Tottenham should pay him to give their managers tutorials on how to withstand the pressure Liverpool put a defence under at Anfield

    If the scum had him he would have took a team thats cost a fortune to Leipzig and got the required result and they'd still be in with the big boys.

    Correct. My bad.

    The principle remains ... we had Duncan Edwards on our books. He was snatched from us. He shouldn't even have been on that plane. 

    We should, in the 60's have had Edwards, Ball & Hunt in our team. Add Lofthouse, Hill & Hopkinson. Or, post Lofthouse, Lee & Wyn Davies. Then the odd additional signing. 

    Ah well.

    That would have been some side, we finished up selling Franny Lee and buying Terry fucking Wharton for more money.
