    Monoclinic - your a Saints Fan arent you? ive been out all night with Le Tissier. played football with him earlier.

     

     

    Did He make you do all the running?

     

    I hope you felt suitably awe inspired to spend a whole evening in His holy presence.

    yeah i did all the running! he's still got two pretty decent feet on him though. to think Sheringham is older and still playing Prem football... mind you even cantona is younger than teddy, he retired ten years ago!

    my mate ian on the left, i'm on the right, and tizz in the middle. great night... :)

     

    What is your mate, Ian, doing with his right hand?

     

    I'm undecided between whether he's cocking an imaginary finger pistol, stroking his nipple or about to offer Matty some strange, mutated Masonic handshake.

     

    Not since TLC's profile photo have I seen such interesting fingers.

     

    That photo wasn't taken in the pub, Le Tissier's Feet, by any chance was it?

     

    Cheers,

    i think he's gone for a 'Look its Matt Le Tissier' double fingered style point with a bit of pistol thrown in for good measure.

    it was in the Central in Newquay.

    I met Alan Ball & his wife Lesley in 2003 & it seems inconvenciable that they are both now dead.

     

    The youngest member of the 1966 squad (2nd to die), but what isn't being mentioned is that he is the 6th member of the 1970 squad to die (and on the same day, one year on, as another of the 6, Brian Labone, died.

     

    That seems amazing when you contrast that to earlier teams & nations (say France 1958). An excellent player, lest we forget, both internationally, and for many more years domestically.

     

    A decent manager too, bit unlucky with Manchester City's relegation. Because he was seen as a squeaky, ginger shortarse, this made him a figure of fun, but he was a good, genuine guy, who utterly adored his wife & was devastated when she died. That's the only comfort, that he might be with her now.

     

    More recently, he was seen on the BBC's World Cup coverage in 2006. One of the last things he did was watch the Man U-Milan game last night and then.. gone, of a heart-attack, just like that. Very, very sad.

     

    :)

    Everton Legend, RIP.

    Strange, as i was with Alan Ball's good friend Le Tissier last night, watching the Utd game.. they used to play golf all the time. Big Shock.

    According to this, the Queen is an Arsenal supporter.

     

    How fitting.

    A German/Greek Dynasty lording over us all, supporting a team full of foreigners..............

     

    ..." Hes got no hair but we dont care, Martin, Martin Jol.."

    foreigners? how disgusting. what is she thinking? :blink:

    Only ten teams in the League have not been in the third tier, and they are...?

     

    Ah.. but MIB, you've shot yourself in the foot here...

     

    There is one league team, who after being promoted from the non-league, has also not been in the third tier, having stayed down at the 4th :)

     

    So the list is:

    TOP TWO TIERS ONLY: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Leeds United (not for long), Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United.

     

    FOURTH TIER ONLY: Boston United

     

     

    I await my prize in the post.

     

     

     

    PS Thanks to Rothmans Football Yearbook :)

     

     

    Give that man a cigar! :P

     

    Actually the Boston Utd stat would be a good one to bamboozle less football-savvy gentlemen (and women), that's providing they stay in the Football League of course...

     

    Now I've heard that Hartlepool could win their first prize of any kind if they go on to win League Two. I'm wondering who are the least successful team in the Football League. Don't include those fly-by-night teams such as Maidstone Utd and Scarborough, but ones who have been in the League a fair bit but without a bauble to their name...over to you OoO...

    well im gonna go for Middlesbrough. After forming in 1876, all they have to their name is winning the Old 2nd division three times, winning the new 1st division in 1995, and the more recent League Cup win with McLaren in 2004. and um, thats pretty much it.

    considering an average crowd of about 35,000 - Middlesbrough have to be up there with most unsuccessful, especially compared with loyalty from supporters. 1 Mickey Mouse Cup and a few promotions in over 125 years?

    So farewell to Torquay, relegated from the Football League and leaving Plymouth Argyle, The Great Satan, as Devon's only remaining league team.

     

    Whilst some Premiership teams complain about fixture congestion, spare a thought for Northwich Victoria, who are going to need to complete their 9 remaining fixtures in the next 18 days!

    i think torquay will bounce back. hope so anyway.

    Mark Langford, former boss of The Accidnet Group, who infamously sacked 2,500 staff by text message, has died in a car crash in Spain:

     

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...accident110.xml

     

    I wonder what emotions some of those 2,500 pour souls will be feeling on hearing the news...

     

    "Revenue and Customs were pursuing Mr Langford for unpaid tax. ... A Foreign Office spokesman said they were unable to confirm details of the crash" - hmm, could he be trying to pull a Stonehouse?

    what goes around comes around...

    hang on a sec - what goes around comes around? Death? he sacked people with a text message so what? that isn't karma. poor bastard just died in a car crash.

    Hmmm if the Leeds rumours about him are true it isn't drugs he does...

     

    Are you insinuating that his list of hobbies could potentially be of the same nature as those of Mr King or Mr Glitter, as opposed to drinking weak lemon squash commonly preferred by hobbyists?

     

    Actually now you ask me, no, it's something much more sinister if the voices are speaking the truth. In some ways it has a tie in to this forum, though the link is an extenuous one to say the least.

     

     

    He likes shagging dead people? Urgh.

    f**k me.. hang on. who started this rumour? jimmy savile shags dead people?

    I've a fixture pile up next week;

     

    Monday: Bradford City v Oldham, hopefully Oldham will put a nail into the relegation coffin of the Bantams.

    Tuesday: Ringside seats for Manchester United v Roma.

    Sunday: Ringside seats again for Chelsea v Blackburn, hopefully Blackburn will manage to turn the rich boys over.

     

    Funny thing is, I'm not that mad about football :huh: , it's all about the experience.

    you're actually going to all these games?
