Top three sort of Britpopish bands of the 90's are: 1. The KLF (this is debatable I know !) 2. Inspiral Carpets 3. Pulp

I used to play for the Centre Spots Sunday league football team when Tony Kellow ran the social club. Every Sunday lunchtime after getting beat 8 or 9 nil, the whole team would go back to take part in his quiz.He used to award a prize of a bottle of wine for the best quiz team name. The best one...

Another shocker of a day for England. Without Pietersen and Flintoff in the team we've no real backbone !. Bopara must surely be dropped for the final test on his current form.But yet again all the batsman have let us down. I fear the Ashes are lost once more and even the rain won't save us this...

Just watched that 73 year old breakdancer who is allegedly on Disability Allowance and goes clubbing every night. Don't think he'll get through though,I used to practise those moves down at Tiffanys and Boogies on the Quay on a Saturday night 20 years ago !. Some of the semi final acts are just...

Newcastle were already in deep trouble when Shearer took over. He was in a win.win situation.If they stayed up his hero status gets multiplied times a million,the fact is they're down but no Newcastle fans will be blaming him. This is down to club mis-management on a massive scale.After Keegan...

As usual Al, a well thought out and well presented thread. How about putting any new or extra monies solely towards the already excellent Youth set up and in particular the Soccer Schools organised by Jamie Vittles and co. I have friends who have no interest in City whatsoever but are more than...

Many thanks for your kind words ! I watched City at Oldham in the 92/93 season. Isn't it meant to be the highest league ground in England ?.

My late Uncle knew Reg Varney through work and told me he was a very kind, generous and funny man. RIP Reg !

Another embarassing cup defeat yes, but no reason to be ashamed of a club that has turned around its fortunes on and off the pitch in recent years ! Three 'shocks' over the weekend and we were one of them. I don't know what others think but I'd rather be a league club on the wrong end of a shock...

I was there at Bognor Regis too...............my football memories of that forgettable day are thankfully overshadowed by memories of a couple of drunken City fans attempting to climb up the floodlights........and failing !

The Hawthorns-even though we lost 6-3 there in the 90's there was a great atmosphere and its easy to get to off the motorway !

Run to the Hills-Iron Maiden

The Chiefs got a bonus point and are second in the league,however unless Leeds really mess up it'll be another year in League One in 2009/10. But surely we're all missing the point.....any sporting win over our rivals from the poorer end of the A38 must be celebrated,be it football, rugby...
