  7. Me too. Sanchez looked very promising whenever I saw him play. He reminded me a lot of Raya.
  8. Yeah, the other keeper, Sanchez, is top class. Definitely one to push Raya all the way with the Spain squad.

  14. Hi Matey, did you see “ Panorama “ last night ? It was truly jaw dropping. An average sized 1970’s terraced house turned into 6 flats ! The landlord was charging £950 for each flat ! The took the previous owner around and she was almost in tears. Somebody was living in what was her old bathroom, somebody else living in her old kitchen ! Unbelievable .

    Regards John C. ( Tyrone )

      I haven't seen it yet John but can well imagine, having lived and breathed this stuff in my previous job. When I first started working in housing, Right to Buy had only just been introduced, and you could walk round estates in Blackburn and be able to pick out the 'bought' properties because they were the ones with the lovely new doors and windows. Fast forward 20/30 years and the exact opposite is the case!

      Absolutely no strategic thinking behind RTB, it was simply buying votes. I hope she's rotting in hell now.

      Yeah, me too. Just an exercise in buying votes. As was all the other privatisations. Look at the state of public utilities now. A shambles the lot of them. You must watch the programme, it’s an eye opener.

      Regards John C.

  15. It’s nice to have some for a change ……… I’d given up completely with the previous manager.
  16. Last nights “ Blue Lights “ had a great revue in todays paper. We watched “ Unforgotten “ instead. Not bad but nothing to rave about. However “ Panorama” about the sale of social housing made my blood boil. A woman in London buys her average sized terraced Council house for £15k, about 12- 15 years later she sells it for £85k. Further on down the time scale road a landlord buys it and turns it into 6 tiny flats. He’s charging £950 per flat per month. We’re paying the £950 to him through housing benefit. This landlord has another 5 house in the same row. Do the maths.
  17. As a kid he was brilliant. For whatever reason he didn’t really go on to be the world beater he looked like he was going to be at 17 or 18.
  18. Bob Dylan - Boots Of Spanish Leather
  19. If the van has a roof rack I’m sorted.
  20. The first time I saw him play for Leicester I thought “ That’s the new Alan Shearer “. It didn’t turn out that way although he had a long and successful career.
  21. I suppose the team picks itself really. Nice to have a reasonably settled line up and a pretty coherent way of playing for once.
  22. Mark Hughes quietened a few of them in midfield. Big Brad won us the game though.
  23. I get you now. They had plenty of very close encounters with the football league trap door. The old chairman, Fred Ratcliffe, had lots of friends among the other chairman and had to call in favours on many occasions. Altrincham came within an ace of replacing them once over.
  24. You must be thinking of another team. They were never in the Conference. The fanzine was called “ Exceedingly Good Pies “. Darlo had the best one - “ Mission Impossible “.
