Newcastle only bought him to screw us.

I kind of believe that to be the case. I remember people saying Eddie was 'too nice' to do that.

You can't see the Forest for the Woods.

Can't see The Trees for the Wood?

Some systems record traffic updates (usually at the end of a news report) so you can replay them, it may be that gone awry?

dougcollins

Not listened to Radio 2 since Cox and Ball took over.

dougcollins

Or bothered, to be honest. Martial that is.

Is he the Australian guy that was miked up in the A League?

That's the thought I had also.

dougcollins

Richarlison totally to blame for that, flicking Ramsdale in the face as he threw out the last ball of the match.

Was it used twice ?

No, pretty much a whole season I can remember, around 1970.

And, in terms of comfort, wooden seats are superior to plastic.

I can never really understand why we bother teaching German in schools. Aside from the Germans, Swiss and Austrians, it’s not a particularly widely spoken language. Contrast that with Spanish, which is much more widely spoken around the world yet plays second fiddle to German in many schools. It ma...

I imagine he'll have a fair whack of royalties coming back for 'Rocking All Over the World'.

Well deserved.

dougcollins

I kind of learnt conversational Welsh (had to because I worked in a pub where no-one spoke English) but unfortunately, I've probably forgotten most.

dougcollins

Oh no, the Hound of the Baskervilles!

Oh that's a different curse isn't it, but you know what I mean.

Is he a big lad? could do with a bit of height at the back

He ain't small. Quick and skilful also.

City have got themselves a decent player there.

DCWat - BPA were the first team I ever saw live, Kevin Hector anyone? They lost 3-1 at home to Fulham.

dougcollins

Nobody like Jeff Beck.

Started with the classic Brit Blues background (Clapton, Page, Blackmore etc) but soon moved away from that to create his own truly unique style.

One of the very few people in the world I would class as a true guitar genius.

Ninian Park.

Oh we've had some great trips there.

I remember once outside the ground asking a fine member of the Welsh constabulary where was safe to park, and his reply was 'England'.

Which cup was it when a very confused looking David Eyres won a bike for being man of the match?

Thought Newcastle were excellent last night. Some of the attacking patterns of play are really well coached. Said at the time Pope was the perfect signing for where they are at and was surprised how many Geordies (online) seemed underwhelmed with the signing. They also said Tarkowski wasn't good en...

Just missed me beddie... I was there often between 64 and 66. But what a absolutely wonderful place it was. Every evening we'd walk up to the viaduct and up the side onto the bridge itself..then back down to the kitchen for a hefty supper. Dents always been the real hidden gem of the dales for me. ...

That was my reaction.

Can I have your hat?

dougcollins

When we did the journey I was slightly disappointed, as when you go over the viaduct we were expecting spectacular views but we weren't really aware that we were on it, as you can't see the ground. That's exactly the case, you're better off parking next to it and watching a train go over, particula...

I saw the Pistols live and Lydon is most definitely not the worst live singer I've heard, not a note out of tune.

dougcollins

I remember me and my mate back in 1976 saying in 40 years we'd all be sat in the old folks home having sing-along Sex Pistols sessions on the common room piano.

We're getting there.

One of those very very marginal decisions.
Much better that those are given by on field officials, and not deliberated on for 5 minutes by the VAR.

Got it wrong though, I didn't think it was even difficult.

I do appreciate we've benefited by a few of these so far.

dougcollins

Offside.

The prem officials have forgotten how to give real decisions in real time.

2. Crap stadia.

Thoughts?

That's interesting, as I would view some of the new concrete bowls we visit nowadays as being 'crap stadia'.

Our worst two referees this season have been David Webb v Stoke and David Webb v Middlesbrough

What could possibly go wrong.

dougcollins

It's strange for Besiktas to be saying 'He's 100% our player'.

I thought he was 100% our player.

dougcollins

Surely we're looking at an evening game now which is a completely different barrow of fish.

dougcollins

Not sure why anyone would be picking Taylor ahead of McNally at CB.

McNally is an excellent header of the ball, and his extra height could be crucial in some of the games we've got coming up.

But, hopefully, THB wont be out for long.

Alan Shearer: still having flashbacks of Chris Wood sending the ball to row NZ instead of scoring for his beloved Newcastle. Embarrassing.

Row NZ. See what you did there.

Winnable though.

When asked about the prospect of Burnley enjoying a lengthy FA Cup run VK replied “We’re enjoying it but sooner or later you come up against one of the Big Dogs”.

City will be an Irish Wolfhound.

I'm one of only a few who thought that his time at Burnley was a success. If Man Utd do sign him, I would expect him to be a success there ( off the bench ) He would contribute far more to an attacking Man Utd team than he would to a defensive Burnley team.

Faces maybe?.. Small Faces folded around '70ish.

Ha ha, my mistake, of course it was the Faces.

I went to watch the Small Faces pretty frequently also. They had a mini resurge about 1975.

dougcollins

I remember going to Belle Vue in 1974. after a day on 'The Bobs' etc we saw The Small Faces play in the Kings Hall.

Brilliant gig, Rod was amazing.

Charlie Taylor edging it. He powered on and on through the whole match.

Totally agree with you, Taylor was immense.

Still went for Aye Aye though.

I was unfortunate to once bump into him in that chain pub in Blackburn near the church with the giant neon cross.

He’s an absolute self absorbed arse.

dougcollins

It kind of shows how small-time we think in that as soon as we get a decent player, we start talking about how much we can sell them for.

How about keeping hold of them?

dougcollins

NcNally won’t have the passing range but no fears over his defending. He’s a good reader.

dougcollins

What a pass for the 4th. Absolute top class.
