Not that old chestnut.

Hasn't someone on this board got that as their sig?

Yes, Lawman3

Was Ton/Tom actually a 'cult hero'? I'm not really sure you could put him in the same bracket as your Hjorths, Dorners and Burgmeiers.

I heard he was a regular in the Palindrome World XI after he left us though.

I've got It's A Sin - along with Deutschland 89 - penciled in for when I've got a bit more time to properly get into boxsets. I agree with theoriginalfatcat about The Queen's Gambit by the way - really good. I also agree on Queen’s Gambit, where’s Deutschland 89 on? I'm probably just going to wait ...

Jonathan Hogg at Huddersfield to add to the list of former Arena loanees.

They all sound like they should be on some sort of Commons select committee, but that trio of Staunton loanees (Hogg, Collins and Davis) have each gone on to have pretty decent FL careers.

The lack of a proper testing regime (which is a newsflash to me as I'd always assumed there was one) is reason alone to can the season/never have started the season in the first place. My six-year-old daughter and the rest of her class bubble are missing out on the education they deserve, while a si...

Yeah, it was Alan Morgan - back in the late nineties/early noughties heyday of one-month loan spells.

Don't get me wrong, EDJOHNS, I understand your concerns and agree that no one should be forced to take the knee if they really don't want to, but what I can't get my head around is why anyone would turn their back on those that do [take the knee] and also those players who are choosing to show their...

As has been made clear time and again by the Premier League, 'taking the knee' is NOT political. Any booing at the London Stadium would've been, at best, ignorant. Are you seriously saying that your first reaction to your team showing their solidarity with the wider BAME community and backing anti-d...

Does Thierry Henry come into the same category as Diego? He also tainted his reputation by deliberately cheating against Ireland Ah :D The Terry Enry question. Obviously his one off multiple handball was a very devious offence but I think he did it kind of "off the cuff" so to speak. Maradona on th...

As brilliant a footballer as Maradona was, I was actually more saddened by the news about Papa Bouba Diop to be honest. 42's no age (I'm not far off that myself) and, I mean, the name and nickname alone are superb, but throw in that goal against France in 2002 and some classic Kammy and that's a pro...

Missed out on a home tie against Sheffield United. Marine v Spurs. Romance of the cup, jumpers for goalposts, John Motson's sheepskin coat, Ronnie Radford - shirt too small. Isn't it? Marvellous. Small boys sat on a wall, a couple of chairs pulled up by the side of the pitch, a header, a dive, an o...

They missed a trick not roping in James Alexander Gordon to go through them.

I'm not sure they did to be fair - I don't think he gets much work these days.

Tier 3 now confirmed, as expected.

I'd love us to sign a left-footed winger in the Richard Hodgson mould or a right-footed one who's comfortable going down the outside (like a Neil Heaney or Franz Burgmeier) as another option for when we're struggling to break down teams. Players who are neither tricky nor pacy, don't like to hug the...

Personally, I don't see why we can't go full tilt in both games and I've no doubts that Alun will have that mindset too. How many times have we seen managers trying to be too clever/preemptive in the league game before a big cup tie and end up losing both? I think it would be counterproductive to re...

Billy Heath's still foaming at the mouth at the way they lost to Leamington 4-3 after being 3-0 up at half-time. The sideshow of Billy losing his s*** on the touchline for ninety minutes would be both entertaining in itself and also hopefully a sign that we were frustrating them with our liquid foo...

Even without fans at BM, I reckon - if we play at Alf-reton the way we played last night - that elusive home win's going to be closer each day.

Yeah, the commentators were good value, to the point where they could call us 'Hartlepool' and I didn't really care - although it probably helped that we were absolutely cruising by that point

Okay, you've convinced me, I can't dispute such a massive body of evidence. I'm too lazy and dim-witted to argue against the balance of probabilities. It was the West Ham supporting that did it-I'd conveniently forgotten that. I really need to make copious notes in future. I'll leave Ted (or Pete) ...

I have no bone left to pick with EDJOHNS, but either he is actually Ted or he's an unbelievably good impersonator of him. I'm not much of a mathematician these days, but the probability of there being two Darlo/West Ham/Hull KR/Brexit Party-supporting seventy-somethings living in the Hexham area who...

So Guiseley will either be refreshed or ring rusty as it will be 3 weeks since their last game. They were really ring-rusty as it turned out, whereas we looked properly match sharp. No Kaine Felix was a bonus too. I thought their pitch looked very bobbly considering how little football's been playe...

Whoever plays, we need to keep Kaine Felix quiet - I seem to remember him absolutely rinsing us at BM last season.

I don't think you're going to get a response, Mister e.

Man, these bots are good.

I reckon we'll more than match that £3350 and have change for an extra pain au chocolat each at breakfast.

The Dave Penney derby and a totaliser - what's not to love?

It isn't on Bondgate, but are you maybe thinking of Baileys Blinds?

Re-read the opening post, Pete - I think you might know the fella you've just replied to.

A chance to topple former Premier League giants in the Mark Cooper derby - if that isn't a sexy cup tie, then I don't know what is.

Curzon is a great little setup. That standing terrace on the far side is excellent The only problem with it is we rarely come away with anything Four points from the five visits since we came up from the Northern League. Any stattos out there want to suggest a team we've got a worse away record aga...
