  1. Big argument for Ajax. For me theres no place at the top table for PSG..... yet.
  2. If modern history counts then ancient history counts too. Preston and Huddersfield had their success and that is in the bank. Things have been lean for them since those glory days. If Huds & PNE hadn't have had them glory years they would be on a par with clubs like Peterborough, Hull and Reading. But for me they are a notch above them because of them days.
  3. Be at interesting to see where the none Wanderers fans on here put us, and the rest, in this list. Can only think of these two jockeys. @green genie @Pablo
  4. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world no matter what any Man U or Blyth Spartans fan says.
  5. Too close to call between us and Rovers.
  6. Bolton & Blackburn are both bigger than Burnley. If you asked 100 fans today who's bigger I reckon Burnley would still be below both.
  7. I reckon your right. I once accidentally started a online debate on who's bigger, Sheffield U or Sheffield W. I said, and with no axe to grind, Sheff W were the bigger club. Obviously this rattled the Sheff U fans cage and as is normal on SM it got nasty between the Steel City brethren. But reading the neutral post it was as good as a 50/50 split.
  8. I predict the 57 year old rapist will win.
  9. I think you can only measure this comparison on good days at both. When Burnden was good it was very good. The TS at its best isn't as good as Burnden. But that's not saying it can't be good because it can. Burnden was just as drab as the TS when it wasn't rocking.
  10. In a past life I use to delivered wicker coffins to Livesey's funerals in Horwich. Normally someone there would help me to get it off my vehicle and we would take it in through the front. Once they had no one to assist me so the lady asked if I could leave it in the 2nd room at the back of the premises. Wicker coffins are very light so I did. Went in the wrong door I saw the tenant for the box lying on a mortuary type table. Not nice.
  11. Basically evening matches are fucking faff. Out of town stadium, and if you are working it's only a couple of hours turnaround before you have to make a move to get there. Unlike Saturdays were the majority of us have most of the day to get there. If you throw in live TV coverage then it's not surprising folk give night matches a miss. I know it's only 15 mins but bringing the ko time forward to 1945 makes that slot for getting there even smaller. Bring back the 8pm ko for me.
  12. Maybe. Maybe most Bolton fans didn't even know the significance of the date.
  13. I don't want to go into a full out Scouse mode. God forbid. But flags at half-mast and fans putting some effort in would be nice. The first bite is with the eye and these individual outward expressions of remembrance are missing.
  14. Yes, well done Stoke. I'm disappointed that BWFC and the fans don't make a bigger thing out of this. Last year I went down and left flowers where the memorial book is located. Apart from mine there was an only one other bunch of flowers there. Nothing at the Nat statue. The flags at the front of stadium weren't even at half-mast. Shoddy on everybody's part.
  15. I expected Joshua to win and he did. I hope this puts an end to these circus's. Ngannou shouldn't even be in a ring at this level. This farce will put Joshua in a good position to fight the winner of the Fury/Usyk fight. That in itself is a joke. Joshua is a modern day version of Frank Bruno.
  16. I had no choice in the matter but I ended up working for FedEx after they merged with TNT and became the dominant partner. Let's just say the expectation levels they put upon their drivers were interesting. I'm not surprised the level of service has been effected. I'm no longer in that game. Thank God.
  17. Iredale, Thomason, Total even Bod giving it verbally to the Yorkshire knobs! Did anyone see Thomason right in the face of the Barnsley player when we got the pen? Iredale takes no shite from anyone. Some folk might moan about the style but this team doesn't give up. Feels like a win this. Fkin get it!!
  18. Here's me thinking that the majority of Brits went to Greece for the almost guaranteed certainty of baking temperatures and to lie on their beaches. I've not met many who are attracted there just for their history and snowboarding.
  19. No hassle for me. If I want to be surrounded by lobster coloured cretins then Greece is probably one of the places I would choose. Isolation and St Ds for me. 6hrs driving is nothing. I enjoy driving and is part of my holiday. Each to their own I spose.
  20. I've been every year, except for the great plague year of 2020, for the past 6 years. I cut across from Newtown to Aberystwyth and down the coast. Yes it is a long drive and probably the reason folk give Pembrokeshire a miss and go to Cornwall instead.
  21. I'm sure it is bigger but St Davids seems to be no bigger than Middlebrook. For me Pembrokeshire beats Cornwall and Devon for beaches and niceness. Less folk like me clogging up the place helps as well. Going again at the end of July - K2K
  22. Anyone been to St Davids? I have. Smallest city in Britain and a bloody treck to get too.
