Christmas is a time for being kind to people so please, spare a thought for little Timothy.
Timothy is a quiet boy, shy even. He doesn't have friends and his family, his dad in particular, are not very nice to him.
Timothy Christmas wasn't like yours and mine where, all gathered round the Christmas tree, presents were given with love and opened with wonder and suprise by the children.
Timothy had a miserable Christmas morning and today will be even worse for him.
Today Timothy, the poor boy aged just 8 and three quarters will get to use, no, will have to use his Christmas present. At 6.30pm his dad will utter the words Timothy fears the most,
'Come on son,we're going to the match'.
Sadly, little Timothy isn't a Geordie.

Disagree. I don't want them going down and getting all galvanised with big away followings around the country. They would be lauded as the nations second club, everyone has a soft spot for them.

I'd rather they festered in the top tier and watch us continue to take the piss
Apart from Blackburn they wouldn’t get a big away allocation. They’d get the same 10% as everyone else gets

I remember when that was City fans, but the difference was we didnt have the air of entitlement

Can't agree with you there Gouldy. Even if it was for (more than likely) just the one season, it'd be hilarious to see it. Unfortunately, it isn't going to happen. Even last season, when they were far worse than they've been so far this campaign, I don't think any sane blue seriously thought they were going to go down. Saints were pretty much doomed by Christmas; that meant that the rags only had to be realistically better than two other sides. Same this season with Wolves.
 
My dad used to say to me "If you don't behave, I'll take you to watch City again next week".
When I was at university in Stoke, I used to travel to Manchester with a couple about 20 minutes' walk away, but we’d alternate in driving.

One Saturday, just before I arrived at their house, I realised I’d left my season ticket book at my digs.

When my mate answered the door, I told him, and his response was, "You’re not getting away with it that easily".

Reminds me of the bloke who ran on the pitch & threw his season ticket at the bench & the club posted it back to him. Wouldnt happen nowadays

I remember going back to my local after losing to Bury in those dark days. Pinned it up on the dartboard and left it there in disgust. Come back the next day and some **** had nicked the drawing pin!

I threw mine at the directors seat aiming for swales. Towards the end of the cup game against Spurs ( the phelan Wonder goal )
I also received it back through the post explaining my renewal slip is in the season ticket.
Typical swales watching every little penny. CTID
 
Lots of chat on the BBC about the Fletcher twins on the bench. Not a mention (that I've seen) that they spent all those years in our Academy and were bought by the Rags.

I've just sent a comment in. No way it'll get posted.
