They set out early to avoid the traffic around the Bluewater Shopping Centre.

Well funny!

My fiancee is a proper Scouser, with all the bindipper credentials, dragged up near Goodison and Anfield. As a four year old she got her nan to sew together two scarves so that one side was Liverpool, the other Everton. Then, this innocent looking curly haired little cherub would go around...

You cheeky young get. We haven't all just finished shitting yellow y' know? Good luck Mario.

Tell her to shut up whinging and then whip my autograph book out?

If you call someone a pedophile when they aren't, that's slander; calling them a black twat, is racist. Both are illegal... No double standards involved.

Jeez, talk about illogical logic... It's this simple; he yelled, "Evra, you black twat'... As soon as he'd used the pronoun - there was only one 'Evra' on the pitch to my knowledge - he'd identified the subject for his abuse. Therefore, the 'black' was completely obsolete and not in fact an...

Great picture, and it reminded me of a tale I posted about Bernard Youens (Stan Ogden) on a different thread (Maine Road Memories)... I'll paste it here. "...another Maine Road memory... That of my mum giving Stan Ogden a right royal bollocking outside one of the food bars in the North Stand...

Unless it had been wearing a collar with 'Tiddles' engraved on it.

Ah, this thread made me chuckle. My mum was the catering manager at Maine Road throughout parts of the 1970's. Balti? Steak and Ale??? Meat and potato (no, fair's fair. I did once find a sliver of corned beef in one) or meat (not 'beef' or 'pork' or 'chicken', just a rather vague 'meat') was...

As a 15 year old at Wembley for the League Cup against Newcastle in 1976 I went to the bog at half time. Struggling to get back to the stands you can guess which goal I missed.

Thank you for the video, Petrusha. I knew I hadn't dreamed it. That video had the years rolling back. Although a lifelong supporter, I was at Maine Road that day working for my mum, the Catering Manageress, and was 'fortunate' to be passing the back of the goal as the incident happened. I...

I remember Joe throwing a ball out from the edge of the box and walking back to his goal. He saw all of us behind the net frantically waving at him, so he waved politely back... As the ball flashed past him into the net he belatedly realised why we were waving.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info, Bluemoonbaldboy.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'half and half scarf'?

The passing of the actor who played Eddie Yeats in Coronation Street has brought back another Maine Road memory... That of my mum giving Stan Ogden a right royal bollocking outside one of the food bars in the North Stand. The tale goes thus... Those of you who read my earlier post will know my...

With apologies as this post is a copy of one I did on another 'Maine Road' thread... I am posting it again here as this it is more appropriate to this thread because of the 'memories of Maine Road'... My mum, Jean Ellis (and sometimes my dad, Bob), was responsible for 'the catering'. Both my...

Thank you Holcome and Didsbury. I had a lot of fun writing it. Holcome, re the rats... The North Stand apart, the bars in the rest of the ground were ancient, at least pre-war, maybe pre-both-wars. They were wooden and not exactly well sealed. In many of the bars were under-counter drawers which...

Ooh, I've remembered her name. Anne Stanley.
