They once listed "Runners Up, Watney Cup" in their "honours"!

You've just jogged my memory about being at Pickmere Lake in '69-'71ish.

I was a young kid & gutted listening to them beat I think Hull on pens on the radio in one of the rounds.

 

[its grim up north]

He's just made an €80m bid.

Big Malc, RIP, likes this post.

Diallo bags one goal and he gets a full write up on the BBC.

‘Sensational’ header my arse. I’d expect anyone worth a professional contract to be able to tap a header over somebody stood 4 yard away and 10 off their line.

See they are reporting him as costing 19 million also, where elsewhere he cost 37 million

Place mates, Rotters, Thursdays, Brewsters, Mike Shaft DJ at The Gallery.
Early 80's were mint for me.

My memory might be hazy but I'm sure there was a place on Great Western St early 80's like the Plaza. I think it was called Johnnies and had a similar menu. Mild, Medium, Hot, Johnny Special and one life threatening curry named Call the ambulance.

There was , Somali Sports & Social Club ...aka The Palace , many a Friday & Saturday night walked from town , short of money and it filled a gap & a hole in our stumochs , curry for a pound , stack of popedoms up to the ceiling , the madras was like brown soup with bits of chicken floating in it ...gorgeous . You’d open the door at 3.am and it was rammed , like a Chicago speakeasy full of lads from the match doing the same thing ....glorious days

Depends if you count the add-ons. Both are right.

Whereas our signings are reported as fee + wages+ add ons + agent fees

Cavani wants out anyway according to his dad.

Plays when he wants to, he only plays when he wants to......
Although the Gnome wants him, the powers that be never did.

It is Friday night and I have just checked so I can confirm that officially they are still scum

Bravo sir, bravo............

Surely just angling for more money

 

[Gingers Dad]

If it is true they will be all over it. The so called racist isnt happy and wants out albeit they could force him to stay for one more year, but with the rag history of signing geriatrics they do would it just for the constant publicity.
Allow Cavani to go and get fake Ronny in.

He'll probably go to his boyhood club. China or the USA this time

Pickmere lake, I used to go there a lot as a kid, fairground, club, it was great.

Nope, not if the rags have their usual unilateral extension option in, he's got zero leverage.

 

[jaiguruKun]

His boyhood club is the Rags, like all their signings. He had posters of them on his bedroom wall as a kid.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Always useful as a toilet paper .

 

[Blootoof]

Inevitable if Messi comes to City.

Without a doubt. Pep and Jose all over again. They'll do anything to stay relevant.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

Any footballer has leverage by virtue of the fact they can just play without being arsed until the club comes to understand that upset players doesn’t earn their massive wages.
One obviously miserable player in the dressing room can upset a whole squad too.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

I hope they get him, it'll prove the point that they're just a tribute club now and not the real thing.

Like an MLS club
