I've was diagnosed with prostate cancer in Dec 19 decided to have surgery to have it removed.

Plenty of advise on here if you need it TH

Sorry to hear that pal, hope you are now on the mend?

He seems to think fine, just sick of getting up two or three times in night for a piss!!

Got some blood tests to do and a bowel ultrasound scan, but I didn't want to ignore it even at my younger age.

Doc said one of those things you try to manage or put up with as long as you can, if it doesn't settle down, always medication or later in life surgery if things get worse?

I remember early 80s when we started printing the NoW, we got £200 extra. Then it all came tumbling down with the wapping picketing and Eddie Shah

My dad also did a bit at the Express on Ancoats, early days.

People don't realise Thomson House was the biggest machine room in Europe, remember walking round it as a kid with my dad and getting cash off all the print workers.

Unfortunately, my dad caught his hands in the rollers one night and it took his finger off and the presses automatically stopped the entire print run.

They managed to sew it back on but it has never really been much use ever since.

My dad hated Shah, Brenda Dean, never did jack shit for my dad or his like when Maxwell brought in colour or fucked off with £85k of his pension.

Remember him dancing around the table when news came in Maxwell had gone for a long dip off his boat...

Sounds like there are some top reds assembling on Sunday before the game to participate in some direct action against the Glazers

Well it won't be Eddie Beef - heard he's on his way out?

If they were playing an alien 11 for the futre of this planet.I would be in the alien end with a green scarf on.

A Dr Who scarf surely !

Provided they make 2 or 3 decent signings in the summer, these pricks will probably be serious title contenders next season unfortunately.

The Paper Boy has done a far better job than his much more experienced predecessors post-GPC.

Sorry, did you say serious title contenders?

I think you are confusing our poorer season with their slight improvement.
They are only within 10 points because we have dipped.
Them finishing on 80 points this season would look shite when we finished 100/99 points etc. So even us finishing on 90 ish points this season makes them a long way behind.

The other thing to be remembered we are not going to sit still. We also will be looking for one or two new signings.
We have a solid team already and a better manager.

Lastly, history has shown every time they look like they are getting it together, they go backwards...

despise them with a passion, but they have improved massively this season. Not as terrible at the back, and seem to have developed that killer instinct in front of goal. When they smell blood, they tend to take advantage of it.

They do ride their luck massively though, the sheer amount of penalties they get is astounding. Nevertheless, their ability to come back from losing positions is pretty impressive, lost count of how many times this season.

It's their games against teams in the bottom half where they generally tend to struggle, thankfully.

Trying to pursued a 33 year old (that is desperate to leave) to stay at the club. Hilarious.

Ahh yes, the breakhands as they were called, loads with missing digits. The power waned when we went from NATSOPA to SOGAT, Brenda Dean had her own priorities
