And the perfect symmetry of being in the first and last at the old ground. Saudi's PIF could spunk all of their $0.75T and still not achieve that, by definition. History in the making, which is why I can still feel the second's worth of collective thrill of anticipation we'd got to know in previous games...yes!...only to get it shattered into oblivion. Fucking hell - still hurts when I think about it.

Done bigger bits of meat directly in it before now - e.g. a leg of lamb. Just put it in with nowt else and it slowly cooks in its own juices.

According to the wiki page on Terrys: The flavours were: Milk Chocolate (Blue), Plain Chocolate (Red), Mocha (coffee flavoured plain chocolate) (Brown), Cafe Au Lait (coffee flavoured milk chocolate) (Turquoise), Orange Milk Chocolate (Orange) and Orange Plain Chocolate (Pink)

Slow cooking? First thing in the day, mix up 2/3 of a bottle of Henry Westons cider with one of the packets of Colmans powdered chicken mixes (e.g. their coq au vin one), add two free range chicken breasts (which look and feel like real meat unlike battery stuff), add in a big bag of mixed veg plus some onion and cherry tomatoes and then a chopped Naga/Scorpion/Bonnet. Hours later when you come back, wash the food of the Gods down with the rest of the cider.

Yeh, its weird how a box of chocs could make you sadly nostalgic, but as I say we'd just kept on with the tradition of me old mam giving me them at Xmas and I was into my 40s when they went. Never had them any other time of year.

Always used to get these as a kid - and as an adult. Looked them up and discontinued in 2005 😟

Even if it's a "proper" game like Pompey, would we take as many as last year?

Little known Pink Floyd b-side from the Syd Barrett years.

For a damn site less than £250M we could pay the trafficking overlords a very decent wedge to act as a border patrol. No dafter an idea than flying people to Rwanda.

Always thought this was the best performance of this work, and with savage meaning now:

Must have been as we got 50k on the Everton LC semi. So 7k on top of the above quote, which could only have been Lever end minus a few hundred. So yeh, implies that held at least 11k. Bugs we to this day that the first game I went to (apart from a couple of earlier excursions courtesy of a birthday bash for school chum thanks to his dad) was Notts County, which was the one before the 50k. As I relied on the goodwill of some compo holders back then the semi was out. So the biggest I ever saw there was 36k after the Lever seats went in. God knows how the official capacity was 43k - games like Liverpool in that first top flight season, 78-79, I genuinely can't think how 7k more could have been squeezed in.

Just on the capacity topic, I'll quote myself from 6 years ago:

They missed out the bit where the old cock goes round to thank them the next day and accidentally runs the dog over with his mobility scooter. Shaking with shock they sit him down by their door to have a ciggy to get over it and he inadvertently sets sets fire to a bottle of paint stripper they were using - and burns the house down. Back at the pub he tries to get over all with a pint and the battery in his scooter goes off, burning the pub to a cinder. "I'm not crying" he says as he sifts through the charred wreckage of wood and bones, with a strange look of satisfaction in his eyes. He's finally shaken off the grief of his wife's death and it's just like the old days before her mysterious chip pan fire (which was mysterious, given that she didn't own a chip pan). As he saunters off clutching a pack of Swan Vestas the video finishes on a quote thus: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire" W.B Yeats

Wasn't it him who implored the doctor "don't tell me I've shaved me nuts fer nowt?!" after the vasectomy appointment turned out to be for a discussion only?

Dreaming of happier times

Aye, Tony Curtis looked nowt like Kirk Douglas! Fun fact - the latter was born Issur Danielovitch but changed his name to the capital of the IOM as he was a big fan of the TT races.

Aye, back in very early 90s I was living in London and mate at work was a Hull fan. So a few of us went to their League Cup 2nd leg at Loftus Road. 3-0 down from the home game they were, but even so quite a few Hull had come down just for the hell of it!

Trouble is, can you imagine the legal power City have at their disposal - not to mention political. Schemes as you say have been used - there was City thing where they got significant sponsorship from a betting company nobody had ever heard of and they wheeled out Teddy Sherringham (for some obscure reason) and the company's "CEO" (who turned out to be a "glamour model" power dressed for the day) to celebrate it. A company started and owned in the middle east, with no discernable activity. Everton are any easy win at the moment as right now the 3 or 4 basket cases will ensure they don't go down (though they will be hit with positional prize money at the end of the season - it was nigh on a million per place when we were struggling, so it'll be very significant now). In their case, fuck 'em. I hope their new ground stalls and they end up playing in L1 in their ramshackle pit for the foreseeable - they deserve it. Though they won't. But the self elected big boys have too much clout unfortunately, even if the investigations are remarkably thorough. City could take the hit of a big points deduction, wipe the slate clean with a lack of CL for a season and then obliterate all and sundry from then on. Long term they'd care not a jot. Best you could hope for is Newcastle's owners to be a bit more discreet in spending their $0.5 trillion PIF money from now on.

Right thinking but wrong answer
