Happy Birthday

I had one of them in the 80s. I had loads of Matchbox and Corgi cars, and the Matchbox Motorcity roads and garage.

Actually, I can't stand the NME. They write a load of sh!t don't they. As much as I like quite a few bands they bang on about, I can't stand the way the NME hypes it all up, invents its own genres ('New Rave' etc) and starts catagorising bands. I've got a mate who has the NME as his bible, it's infuriating!

I used to get Match and Shoot when I was about 9 or 10. I remember me Mam knacking me brother because he ordered a Newcastle strip from one of the ads in there without telling her. The first she knew was when it was delivered. Obviously, the league ladders were a must. I moved onto 90 Minutes when I was about 15 - that was a really good mag. When I was younger, my Mam took me to the match and used to buy The Mag, so I've been reading that since about 1991. I started buying it for myself at some point in my mid teens, and still get it. I used to buy Talk of the Toon and The Number 9 as well from time to time. The next general football mag I bought was Goal. Black and White sometimes, although it felt a bit like an extention of match programmes - not suprising considering it was an official NUFC mag. I used to buy Match Of The Day. It first came out at around the same time, or not long after 90 Minutes finished, and in it's original weekly guise, it was the closest thing to 90 Minutes out there. I prefered it like that. I carried on buying it as a monthly for a while, but gradually stopped. After that, I was buying Four Four Two every now and then, and also World Soccer, which I still get occassionally. Then when True Faith came out, I started buying that, and still get it, along with The Mag.

I went mental over David Kelly's goal against Portsmouth, as did everyone that day, but I think Peacock's winner against Leicester the following week pips it. Of course, as things turned out, it was the Portsmouth game and Kelly's goal that saw us safe, but we didn't know that at the time, and we went into the final game at Filbert Street still needing a win to guarantee safety. We got the win of course, but the results of the other games meant that we'd have been safe regardless. But the whole atmosphere and the whole day down at Leicester is something that I've never experienced before or since. Those of you who went will know what I mean. It was almost absurd it was exciting and scary and funny and horrible and fantastic. The maddest day I can remember.

They were very much like Twirls. Probably why they're not around anymore - too similar.

I've been to the ones that England have played at SJP over the last few years. The Albania game in September 2001 (WC 2002 qualifier), I was up in level 7 near some Chelsea fans who were utter pricks whinging about having to come so far to watch England. The Azerbaijan game (WC 2006 qualifier) I was in the bottom tier of the Leazes, sat next to some Derby fans who were OK, but there were some pricks from Barnsley not too far away with a BNP flag. Generally most people were OK, no problem, but I think the prick ratio is higher than watching NUFC (not that we don't have pricks ourselves). And whether you're at the game, or watching on telly, the brass band are annoying. I'm not against a band during the game as such, but I think they should have a more varied repetoire than a few short and constantly repeated excerpts of a limited number of tunes, and I also think that they should know how to play in tune.

*sharp intake of breath* Ah, that's the one I was just about to post. Actually, it was slightly different - but the same idea. What's the difference between Colin McCrae and Gary Glitter Only two kids went down on Colin's chopper.

oooh, where's the bad taste jokes post gone? I heard another Colin McCrae related one today

Aye, in the NE corner we weren't really paying attention when the goal went in - definitely happened before the goal was scored.

Fair enough, but if it turns out to be true.....

Ours never used to be out on a night, we'd call them in every night and shut the cat flap so they couldn't be out. They were also litter-trained and used to always use that (if they were out, they'd come back in to use it and then go back out again - oh aye, we had them well trained). I can't say that they never shat in the allotments, but they tended to use the litter tray and were well behaved. We had a few cats when I was a kid, but these two were definitely my favourites. My parents split up that year, and then some b*stard murdered me cats two days after Christmas.

Fuck England! He's an NUFC player - NUFC pay his wages. Who suffered when he got fucked playing for England in the World Cup? - NUFC that's who. If he's got an injury, he gets it sorted out ASAP. We come first, it's not our fault that other England strikers are fucked, we shouldn't have to suffer because of that. Sorry like, but if he's fucked for NUFC, then he's fucked for England. I'm getting a bit sick of 'Inger-fucking-land and their filthy cockney and or charver fans. Now Wembley's back open, they drop the rest of the country like a stone and go back to being another London team, but we're meant to make a sacrifice for the greater good, well bollocks to them - England are a bunch of cunts. Oh Ecgfrith, why did you have to go and get yourself killed and subject us to them buggers.

That first one is exectly how one of the cats we used to react when we got a new kitten. She arched her back up and hissed at him and even knocked him across the room like the cat in the video did to the puppy. Basically, she was jealous, used to getting attention, didn't want another cat on her territory. But after a couple of days, she'd got used to him, calmed down and became like a surrogate mother. She used to get a hold of him and clean him and he'd be wriggling away because he didn't want her to clean him. They ended up getting on fine, and then some b@stard in the nearby allotments poisoned them. That still upsets me, 15 years on.

Aye, that's what a few of us were saying when he came back. We couldn't understand why he hadn't gone to hospital.

It did take a while. There was a big thud, we all looked around, and he was just lying there in the aisle, with loads of people at the front of the second tier waving frantically, and a few people going over to him. It took a minute or two for the steward to spot the comotion, and even then he was stood looking, and then he realises and starts waving madly at the paramedics.

Scousers always have a whinge on 606. One minute they're on whinging about really f*cking trivial things, and if they're not doing that, they're on bragging about how great they are, how they're the best team in the world and how great 'Rafa' (I f*cking hate that name, due to Scousers saying it) is. Spurs fans are similar. Liverpool and Spurs fans on 606 is a big pet hate of mine. Actually a few things about 606 are pet hates of mine. Spoony knowing f*ck all about anything, People from the West Country who support Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool bleating on and on and on about very small, trivial matters.

Did anyone see what happened with the lad in the Leazes just before half time? There was a big thud, and all of us in the NE corner looked over and there was a bloke sprawled out in the aisle between the 1st and second tier of the Leazes - out cold for a couple of minutes until the Paramedics brought him round. They carted him off on a stretcher, but he was back out just as the second half was starting, so I asume he's OK. I'm just wondering if anyone saw how it happened?

0/20

At the minute I'll go with papers looking for stories. Apparently he had a scan as a precaution, but the club is saying that the result of the scan came back OK, and he'll be involved on Sunday.

2-0 up already against Argentina. 2 goals in a minute - the first was a very silly o.g England totally dominating right now.
