It's a staple feelgood song now. It was Peter Kay who popularised it at his shows recently and it's spread like that.

Peter Kay has NOT toured recently! I am still miffed at him after spending 2 hours on the internet getting tickets for his last tour couple of years ago that he then cancelled.

Or is this a cunning plan to avoid a repeat of last week?

I find myself wondering if the lighting is the responsibility of the landlord or the tenant, but at least they are working well enough to get the second half under way.

You could not make this up if you tried are they back on yet?

I think he means what I've always called a 'rebound goal'. During the promotion season under Cyril Knowles we were experts at them. It's where a shot gets deflected in the box and someone else is on hand to score from the rebound. You need a bit of luck for the ball to drop favourably. I guess ever...

It’s been a tough week but we have a chance to get back on track tomorrow.Not sure if Hadfield is banned for this game. If so will be a big miss. Hopefully we will get a positive response from the players and get something out of the game.Chester will be a hard nut to crack but we are capable of pl...

Thought we were excellent first half, played some great passing football and should have been 4 up.Their goal straight after half time was poor from us and without doubt was the turning point but even deep into added time we were very unlucky not to make it 3-2.Still cannot believe we did not take ...

Perhaps if SS get beat on Tuesday and you then want to convince them that Connell can play for us in the FA Trophy, calling them out on your official website maybe isn't the best way. It doesn't seem an unreasonable request for the parent club to not want a player on loan to become Cup tied. So I d...

Interesting must have been pulled.

Presume we don't want to upset South Shields, if we are trying to keep a good relationship with them.

Upset SS about what?

I agree an ideal opportunity for us to make progress in a competition that we have had much success in recent years. The weather looks horrendous today, so it's bound to affect the crowd. In the run up to Christmas, ST holders & 500 club members will have to pay, plus only a few away fans, means a ...

I remember the day when people threw toilet roll on to the pitch.....would that be allowed? There aren't any football special trains to pinch the toilet rolls off these days and in any event the trains don't use toilet rolls, they put individual sheets in toilet paper holders now Bring back British...

That is a CRAP idea.

They don’t grow on trees unfortunately. AA went back in for Tyrone but that was a no-go. Newcastle had nothing to offer us either Understood but AA has known since the day Tyrone was signed that he'd have to be replaced. It's unfortunate that is sooner than he anticipated but hopefully replacement ...

Hope the lad has brought his shooting boots with him. If AA thinks Jack can do us a job, then he must have some talents.

And there is me thinking we needed a striker to replace O'Neill? In AA we trust.

What if the rugby club are plying an evening fixture? It's possible

This is an amateur rugby club there's no way I don't think their opposition would agree to play on a Friday night.

If it's a draw I see there's a replay date but I've just read Colne v Southport will play to a finish. Is this something teams can just decide between them? Interesting. Do you mean a bit like when you played football in the park as a kid and you were losing 36-24 and someone said "next goal wins"?

Been on Walsall fans Twitter not a happy place one fans comment is Walsall six consecutive defeats Darlington seven games unbeaten prepare to be on match of the day first next Saturday night. Here's hoping we can prove him right. Think you will be disappointed Saturday MOTD tend to cover Premier te...

Finished 0-0. I’d be livid if I was Hereford’s financial backer, all that money wasted on such an average team... Does that mean we were/are average as Well? Difference is, we haven’t spent £750k on our team. So considering our budget, no, we aren’t. If I was looking for an argument I might say so ...

Sounds like Pete will relive that episode of The Likely Lads!

That was one of the funniest ever episodes of The Likely Lads does someone want to tell Pete that there is fog forecast on the Tyne tonight?

He seems to have only played about 12 games a season for the past five years. I was really hopeful that he would be a good acquisition but clearly something went wrong. [/quote Not many 1st Class appearances for 5 years is it? His Wiki photo is like a character from an Austin Powers movie don't you...

Gray is one of the favourites according to the Echo Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk I really hope AA is not a candidate, but surely it must be at the back of Poolie's minds? I would guess he pretty much works full time already for us, so managing a full time team not that much different for hi...

Interesting article where AA says we are contributing "a bit towards his wage" at Boston. Looks like AA and the Board did a good job in saving us some money before his contract expires. I guess the difference between Ainge and Burn is that one wants to play regularly, and the other appears not to wa...

At the moment, by not saying anything, the inference being taken is that Burn is an unfit, uninterested parasite, stealing a wage doing very little. Perhaps the silence speaks a thousand words. As an owner, perhaps it's not unreasonable to know why one of your most expensive assets is sitting idle ...

We can't afford for them to miss out Saturday. I'd rather they missed out the following league game. Don't understand your logic. We are only 5 points clear of Bradford PA who have better form than us over the last 5 games. You would rather we won a Cup game and lose a few more players who aggregat...

I agree - we aren't that Blyth team, the playoffs aren't the be all and end all, we probably will end up midtable, and we definitely shouldn't be resting players in a cup match for the league games. But considering we're 7 points off the playoffs and it's the middle of september, to say the league ...

I think you'll find grytters and I were engaging in a bit of banter. It's not quite the same as the endless reams of point scoring and argument you find so much fun. Now you've got me at it! My last comment on location, their official Twitter says Urmston. One person’s banter is another person’s te...

Massive shame if Heaton has gone. You just don't turn into a bad player overnight. I think St. Mirren was maybe a step to far for him too soon and has knocked his confidence. Maybe he just hasn't recovered yet. Regards your first quote. I have seen him twice this season and he was very poor. None o...

Re Hodgie’s pre match Q and A session, I wonder if anyone will quiz him on Singh’s failed takeover attempt and his part in it- or would this prove to be a little controversial. More like Pointless Surely that is hosted by a different Armstrong? :lol: Am disappointed our AA is not teaching the lads,...
