Currants with a John Bull? Don't be disgusting! 🤣 (With chips, peas & gravy actually)

Well folks, I'm proud to announce that I'm not a virgin anymore. Tonight I have been penetrated with John Bull's meaty goodness! 😅 My daughter's team had a pre-season friendly at Blacksnape, KO 6:45. Hmm, I thought. Perhaps a detour to Holly Tree Chippy on the way is in order here. So that's exactly what we did (me & the missus that is). Damn fine they were too!

Wasn't sure where to put this, but as it's related to Chelsea's new goalkeeper I'll put it here. This really wound me up when I've just read it: 25 Apps for Liverpool, 50 for Spurs! 288 for Rovers. Hell, he even made 114 for Villa. Do Sky even know about any clubs other than the 'Big 6'?

I think that's probably why I preferred it. I always found lilt to be a bit sharp.

She certainly used to 'Can the Can'

I always used to love this - didn't last too long ('82 - '89 apparently) so I must've been one of a minority that did. To me it was an improvement on Lilt (which is now re-branded as Fanta something or other)

Woah! What the hell have they done to the packaging? Where's the inner bog roll cardboard tube wrapped in paper with the liquorice sticking out? I'm sorry but the kids of today have no idea what we had to go through trying to eat one - soggy paper, sherbet sticking to it. You've run out of liquorice, so you try to get the bit at the bottom by licking your finger, then you realise your finger won't reach to the bottom so you put the open end of the tube up to your mouth and tap the other end. Nothing comes out so you tap a bit harder. Now, at this point one of two things happens depending on how you've positioned your mouth as there was always more left in than you imagined - either you end up with a face full of sherbet and eyes stinging like a bitch, or if you go for the "full gob open over the tube" approach, you suddenly end up looking like a rabid dog as it all fizzes up in your mouth with a bit of the ripped soggy paper stuck to your lip. Anyone else, or just me? 😆

David James wasn't it?

Wow! He shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a football stadium if he thinks like that! (Perhaps that's why they're keeping him tucked away at Stockley Park!)

After his errors last season and that last night, I'm beginning to think this Michael Salisbury chap sits in the VAR room watching Netflix 'cos he's certainly not watching the f*cking game!

TBF, it would be handy, I suffer badly with heartburn! 😆

Jeez, I guess I should've used a laughing emojii at the end of my post!

Not verified, but I did see a leaked photo of him on his first day at Brockhall:

Automatic one game ban but could be longer after a review due to it being for violent conduct - so says Gabby Logan anyway!

Excellent read. Fair play to Ramsdale there.

I have yeah, a few times tbh and they're great. Admittedly, not as good as that first bite when pissed though, saying to the missus "ahh babe, you gotta try these, they're f*cking awesome" 😄

Gotta say guys & gals, I've had a right good giggle (and one or 2 LOLs) reading the last few pages. Anyway, I've got a couple here for you to try (or not) Crumpet Pizzas - Admittedly alcohol fuelled this one, you know, when you come in and the only places you think to look are the bread bin & the fridge. So, here I am with a block of cheese in one hand, a pepperami in the other looking longingly at the crumpets in the bread bin. Doesn't need much imagination to work out what I did - sliced cheese, sliced pepperami, on crumpet, under the grill - awesome! Next one is something my Grandad used to do when I was a kid. Try not to gip, trust me it tastes great - dunking your toast in your cup of tea (NOT coffee, has to be tea). Admittedly, you do get an oil slick on the top of your brew which isn't the best, but the dunked toast....😋

After reading through the transfer thread and all the latest news I think we could choose from either of a couple of Basement Jaxx songs. Firstly "Where's Your Head At", cos mine's absolutely mashed with reading about Indian Tax Laws etc, or "Red Alert" - No explanation needed!

yeah, just heard that on the radio. Christ, that's only young - a year older than me! Sounds like it was completely out of the blue as well. Condolences to both families. RIP Chris & Trevor.

Surely a ticket for this game would be as rare as rocking horse shit - wouldn't a majority of people just have paid cash at the turnstile? A bit before my time (first game in '83), but I don't remember ever having a ticket for a league game until late 80s/early 90s after Jack took over & interest in the club started to boom again. Edit: Clarified league games. Remember needing tickets for cup games against Utd & Liverpool.

Love the idea of A Day in The life, but might need a bit of an edit to make it the official walk out song. I know it's a bit overdone, but I still love Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project: Also, really like this version of Karl Jenkins' Palladio. I'm sure I've heard it at someone's ground but can't think who. The key is the timing, players out of the tunnel on 45s:

So she basically took pre-season training for a couple of weeks! Sadly, as I suspected, it looks like it was a bit of a publicity stunt.

I find that quite interesting (in a saddo kind of way 😁), we're using the official EFL ball rather than whatever they use in Austria. I assume that's JDT getting his own way.

Sammie's budgie smugglers! 🤣🤣

Hmm, Jury's out til I see it in the flesh. Disappointed that Macron have once again not reversed the halves on the back.
