You aren't wrong mate. No roof either. Generally much more passionate crowds generally. All to do with standing as opposed to being sat in my opinion. A more social affair too. Indeed. The goal he scored against Everton at home (bullet header at the Gallowgate) stands out as one where the ground erupted in my memory. Craig - we need a tardis Edit Been trying to find youtube of THE Kelly goal at the death in game before that Leicester away. There was actually a fantastic QED prog at time on how KK turned it all round / how close club was to potential oblivion. I've got it on vhs somewhere in the loft I'm sure. One day . .

Managed the first 5 minutes with the dreadful Winkleman Macintyre strikeforce. Gave us the shits.

Unfortunately we're saddled with the master of both

Rod Stewart next to'm.

Fuck it - if youre gonna be a bear, be a grisly - let's name a stand. ! The Puce Ballbag Stand.

if you are performing on the pitch it isn't a problem or shouldn't be. It is up to the manager to manage him, that is why they are paid big bucks. It's when someone stops performing, or lands themselves in civil action or long suspensions for their actions, is when you consider if you are better off with a different player. Mancini has admitted he doesn't listen and "isn't getting through to him" God knows how surreal it must be round Eastlands with all the egos! ? This fella must be a nightmare to have around I rekon. Arrogance personified. He's a human handgrenade. he must have known what he was buying. To be honest, it seems to me Mancini is struggling anyway, relatively speaking, he is too negative. Ironically if Man City still had Keegan as manager he would be getting a lot more from all that talent at the club now, they would be expressing themselves far more home and away and would be much nearer landing the title. Mancini gave the goon his Inter debut. Think he's stuck with him out of a misplaced loyalty. The way Mancini seems succeptable to these prima donnas publically humiliating him backs up what you say about him struggling.

I can not ABIDE the cnut. Citeh fans should've hounded him out after his tights n tissues antics other week.

Billy Askew was a great player for Hull, just shite for us had a lot of injuries. He made his debut against Brighton and I was playing football on a field after the game, and who turns up with his Staffy Bull Terrier but Billy Askew, he'd had a shite game. "Billy ye wo magic the day like", then he started talking and I called him a mackem which he took well, but he took his dog home and had a kick about with us for 30 mins, was like playing with Pele at the time or so it felt 11 year old. Sweeney was pony but I remember one game he was like Roberto Carlos against Derby in the ZDS, he scored to this day one of the top 5 goals I've seen at SJP. Was nails Sweeney like. Still is ! 'flame haired jock' . Used to see him up to few year ago on Metro off t graft. Manual labour at a guess given the clobber. And t think how much some of these jokers earn today never have t work again.

^ Billy Askew, Paul Sweeney

Paul Stephenson's mullet's a bit of a burden mind ! ?

Amazing away , so emotional and exciting. - up there with Grimsby promotion and Inter Champs Lg. Out genial hosts had put up fences especially for us too. At full time ouu could hear all the coins tonking the roof. Spent most of it stood on our seatsdodging the coin showers too. We were central but the seats going both ways at the boundary fence was mad. Was it Kelly who actually had t jump into our end at one point . On way back to our bus passed minibus and Stevie Charlton was on it smiling like it hurt at the window. Me immediate reaction when saw him was a clenched fist 'geediin' up to window to him. Grinning even wider he returned a thumbs up. Seeeing some of the kids clambering back on the bus was class. A couple had half seats as souvenirs. Think coupl Leicester lost eyes with some of the carry on actually. Stunk the bus out on way back with some torrid resin .

What age are you like LTB, I thought you were 30, you'd have been 7 then cos I was 10. Mint memory A few years older. No need t fret about 'validation' here btw Columbo

Was at this game too - in the West Paddocks, just to the left of where the camera position in. Class times. Used t stand in the east corner but along the side wall . Just far enough away from the middle rabble t be able t watch without getting shunted down to corner flag but with the wall y had to shift at half time when the older lads took a lag there! Can remember lads walkin up the terrace with sombreros on at that game. Out from the loft from tha'bit'holidaz haha. . 'whey waddya rekon 't's alreet innit ! ?'

Haha aye I remember the shoe sniff! Was a tubby fella who used t sit at front of East stand benches n ball went out of play invariably into his hands. Would give it a Harlem Globetrotter spin (whey a fumble) then he would stand up, graciously and innocently offer the ball on one hand to opposing player for throw-in . When player came for it would drop it at their feet haha . What became of the Hiawatha screech bloke that used t belt out random calls top corner east stand too! ? I'm laughin just thinkin of him. Used t have a denim jacket that was half way up eez back n didn't give a fuck haha. Great great days

Shows how out of touch he was. Makes y think though - is it an inherent thing ? does his ex-boss think "they aren't keen on me - but its only because I'm a cockney"

Ferguson criticises envelope SIR Alex Ferguson has questioned the fitness of the stationery that was used to deliver his touchline ban. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-...e-201103173636/

Aye haha, just that one line just a bit of crack. Like on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there's a prize for the finder, I decided the first one to spot it was getting £5k when I win the national lottery. Champion ! Whey pull ya finger out with the geurlden ticket eh

so what are you suggesting that would actually help? Well I haven't quite sussed that one yet but I can pm y the cure for the common cold if that's any good t ya ? I was coming from the angle that its obvious they're struggling, and as noble as they are I think a brave front is not really convincing anyone all's under control.

Have you edited that with ya billy stamper ! ? Half way through ". . the total mugs" haha On serious note, understand Japan's playing down - cultural, economic and to avoid panic but readong that found myself primarily annoyed. I'm sure an onlooking and concerned world would think no worse of them to be upfront at he severity / accept or appeal for further help. Goes without saying, I hope its not too late to avert a full on catastrophe but was hearing this yday how they were looking at bringing in police water cannons after abandoning the helicopter dousing. Pissing in the wind . Time to drop the front Japan c'mon !

Lush innit, was nearly bubbling when first saw it ! . . Only just got onto this thread tonight . . Sombreros at top of cornrer haha. Can y remember Mira kicking Beasant at FT in the cup replay (night time game) . Was a sneaky kck from behind im sure . Beasant livid n chased him up the pitch. Was at Ggate and Mira headed off zig-zaggin towards the East Stand/Leases corner (!?) his little legs givin it 6 nowt and Bsant all arms aloft n gloves like a Wookie, was fuckin hilarious.

'a heurp ee gets the geurls' the fat scarf bloke by Strawberry, hot dog seller, Windrunners, Jackie, 'Mirangeena' , Ando straight into Hertford for Gazza . . love it . great times.

I remember going to Wolves one year, (about '89), with a bus from Value Travel of Byker and being stuck behind a bloke who drank Stones Bitter all the way down and kept singing 'we hate tunnel and we hate tunnel' as we used to cross the Tyne through the tunnel to pick up lads from the South Shields branch of Value travel, (they seemed miserable cunts, it has to be said), and this blokes arse must have turned radioactive, his frequent bottom burps were truly rancid, we were nearly spewing it was that bad. I cant remember the last time I smelled a really bad fart at a match, to be honest. Went t see New Order at Academy few year ago n met in the Bodega. Chocka because town match on sky that night too. What with the beer and the rest of it I was dying for a dump prior to heading to gig. Was one of those gurgly 'this won't keep' cases. Braved the kermit and set about releasing the payload. Anyone knowing the bogs in there its as stuffy as . Whey me sweetmeat wafts permeated pretty quickly and all I could hear as I sweated and whinced in trap 2 was kids taking a lag physically wretching and moaning in disgust haha. It was some walk of shame coming outta there - all could do was a hands high 'i knaa lads I knaa sorry' . Not me finest hour.
