The old days

[Blue Til Death]

True enough, but I never suffered from sinus trouble then!

They should have bottled it and sold it to boxers and MMA fighters, they would spring back up like grasshoppers after a knockout, with a single whiff of it…. :-)

Luxury, compared to the river caves at Central Park rugby ground Wigan, another wonderful stadium surrounded by fantastic pubs, replaced by a soulless bowl in a beer desert. Stokes Victoria ground same apples no doubt many more.

Do you remember old Meadow Lane (Notts County) bogs, where you could still see the match while you were having a piss? Lol.

When Peter Reid was manager, having the piss was more fun.

Talking about the old days,bit of a coincidence my old mans last 2 visits to Villa park for fa cup semi-finals with City were 55 and 56 won both games 1-0,my last 2 visits Villa park cup semi-finals 69 and 81 also won both games 1-0.

Because it was a stupid comment aimed at just white middle aged men, it's an untruth.

And don't miss-colour me mate ;)

Fuck me ,you sound a right fucking know looking to be offended but sounding offensive !!

Totally agree, those toilets in the Kippax though , fuckin hell they were something :-) don’t miss them one bit..!

Wonder if that’s why my dad always took an empty hot water bottle down his pants, to piss in, when he took me to the Kippax as a nipper.

And, can anyone confirm(agree with me), the meat & potato pies were the best ever ?

Have you inadvertently mis-gendered there?

Christ, the season needs to start. Listen to yourselves.

Now dont get me wrong I'm living the dream and wouldnt want it any other way.

But I miss when football was just about what was played on the pitch.

Now every one is an accountant, a lawyer, a ref etc.

FFP bent as a nine bob note brought in to stop competition and protect the old school.

VAR again brought in to protect the old school and to effect games ( Rashford at old toilet for one )

Football press/media only cover 2 or 3 clubs, and again properly employed by American owned media outlets.

Tweeter, Facebook etc allow hatred to be passed around the world so quickly.

American owners wanting a closed shop league.

Fans seem to spend most of their time talking about things of the pitch.

I really fear for our game and deep down think we have seen the best and the American owners will slow destroy our game we loved as kids.

Anyone else miss the time football was simple and just a game between 22 players ?
Or am I suffering from rose tinted glasses ?

Despite all that we are still dominating everything. Years ago it was more simple but I still wouldn't swap. Been there and it.

The bogs on the Kippax stunk. You could smell them from the terracing.

They were worse when they put the car port style roofing on them!
