Howay man Captain Birdseye - where's all that positivity gone ?!

Assuming we're not talking crossed purposes here "I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe toniiiight."

A blend of carpet and dogeggs . You've become the virtual world's equivalent of walking around the house with dogshit on your shoes . Youvegotshitonyashoeyoushittyshoedbastard .

^ I use the headphones out on tv and run a jack lead into external output (into amp on seperates system) as my diy (home cinema setup Fart on with the audio settings on tv and it's rock on Tommo !

I'm always cheered by that Acora picture like

The mighty Pancrate getting a game and all the 'pancake' stuff came out around us - crackin player like, dont over-egg it, he's battering them . . Then my mate sat next to me came a bit unstuck with 'go on son - flip it'

One of my first away games we were on an independent bus . Sat near the back with the lads on the back seats rather exciteable and the sort who (as in Gene's trip) take on strange personas once over the Bridge . Banging on windows to abuse folk at any opportunity . Proper big kids and it became a frenzied competition to 'out-abuse' locals . (albeit from behind glass and how the fuck were folk to hear ? ) . Lunging from each side of the back seat with their stone-cold 'pearlers' . A Jamaican chap in Moss Side with a big leather Aswad job hat got "HEA LOOK - IT'S FUCKIN SUPAGRAN !" Stopped at lights by a hairdresser and bloke happens to walk out *BANG,BANG,BANG* "YA FUCKIN HAIRCUTS ARE SHITE" (!?) That was them told

That's it like - the magic 3-point repellant in action right there .

Dont know his name but he was a smallish chap, bit hunched , grey hair and stubble. Bit of a nose on him . Always wore a big anorak/puffa jacket . Rocking bit of a jaundiced look "spoke with a local accent"

Personally I like it when threads go offroad

That's the stuff wot wot !

Love owt like that Yes this chap at the match would work his way along the potshelf just chucking any fizzy fluid in his pot(s) . Often had 2 or 3 pints of 'house' ale to his name by the start of the second half .

^ im sure ive heard that Central Station thing is meant to be myth .

Shit Shouts , Super Shouts Any snippets of wonderment , tragedy or otherwise heard at the match . Have you ever been proud of yourself with a quip ? Have you ever made a complete cunt of yourself ? There was this horrible scratty rat-faced kid who used to jump the pen-type queues at half time at back of the Sir John . Snide Nike tracksuit , his scabby bird by his side and a scowl to add to his appeal . Hartlepool accent too . Some older chap perfectly politely challenged him on it one time . The lad went right up to his face and sneered "hea man - al knock y owt with a miss" . Oh my . Had a seat pitchside in Sir John for a few year and one fella would always be in the same state of comatose . There were 2 things he would do that you could set your watch by . 1) He was on our row and would back from half time 15 mins late as he would minesweep the bars . 2) Every 'foul' not given he would accusationally warble "the referee's smokin dope"

Amen to that brother .

Went to Marseille UEFA s/f on a charter flight that had Spanish aircrew . Many of the male attendants had rather comfortable shoes on . Sitting waiting for takeoff and they were going through the emergency procedure . One of the more floral attendants (complete with orange fake tan) was trying his best broken English to advise the 'refreshed' customers . Lad behind sings right at him during it "is this the way to Amarillo, every night he's been biting his pillow KEEP THAT MAN AWAY FROM ME"

Another cup game that comes to mind was the Saha Blackburn affair . At halftime the bars were rammed as usual and there was one chap serving who was a Rasta , big dreads tied back . Lads in front were asking for minatures which had sold out and with it being a chilly night game this counter had no hot food left . When ya man with the dreads announced there was no minatures left, as quick as y like, this bloke behind starts singing ". NO RUM AND NO PIES . . WE'VE GOT . . NO RUM AND NO PIES" Loads joined in and the lad was laughing his back off behind the bar . A top moment .

Seeing Goodison in the OP reminded me of a trip there in 97-98 for the FACup . Went down for the weekend without tickets . Before the game we ended up at The Royal Oak by Goodison . Bar was rammed and half Newcastle . We luckily chanced on a pair of tickets for £40 or so from some lads whose mates had 'not made the bus' that morning . Atmosphere in there was getting a bit fraught and it was so stuffy we went to join a few outside to front and get some air . All of a sudden a group of older dressed Everton 'lads' come marching determinedly over to get in . Oh here we go . One Newcastle lad who was inside starting songs off and memorable for being around 6'4" and eyes-half-closed drunk is now stood on the top step to the bar like he was on the door - complete with 'A-frame' stance and chin jutting . He then calmly announced to the 20 or so lads, pointing a dismissive finger at their main agitator . . "AV SEEN YEE , , SELLIN HOT DOGS , , ON BROOKSIDE !" This was the only hairtrigger required and CRASHBANGWOLLOP all hell broke out . . We put our beers down and slinked away towards the ground . The scenes at the pub had caused a chain-reaction and there were all sorts of scuffles going on in the road with police casually walking up and down taking swipes with their long batons to keep folk moving on I can still replay the 'hotdogs' incident vividly and it has to be one of the funniest things I've seen . We won 1-0 with a scrappy goal from Rush (incidentally in a team also featuring Desmond FuckingHamilton)

Aye, fair play to him for his entrepreneurialship like (is that a word !?) I've heard he's a canny bloke

Hey the neck on this fucker man His craic about not having Fernandes "have his pants pulled down again (by agents)" Oh, like you did from the INSIDE at Portsmouth then you shameless shithouseshambles .

He'd get where gas wouldn't like .

Aye knew about the books and his 'bodyguard' role at the funeral .

One of the lads in the bar was talking about him yesterday actually and said he used to go to the match with 'KRAYS' on the back of his shirt . Is that true ?
