Then Lancashire on the outskirts which ranges from full wool to scouse, not including the weird mix in Runcorn.

Shukes Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Watching these matches, there a few things I have to admit. Gray looks to have great fast feet. And after thinking he had no end product, he has set up numerous chances and attacking opportunities. Townsend is a proper winger, good old fashioned winger. He actually has pace to. Gbamin can be a monster, but really needs to get his pace up. Not just running, but speed of thought on the ball. Iwobi has looked good! Seems faster, more direct, and has such a good turn on him. Kenny is like a cheap version of Hibbert. Gordon is showing promise again. Is this because he is concentrating on attacking more? Broadhead can be a good option on the bench. Decent pace, tricky, and strong. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MikeO Posted August 1, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Was scanning ebay a few days back (as you do) and found an old (1994) t-shirt that I bought back then which I loved. Washed it to death and all the lettering fell off in the end but have just bought it It's a medium so no way will it fit me anymore so it'll probably go to Josh, or in a frame. Made a bit more special as I have a photo of my wife wearing it in the early days of our relationship. It's three days before the anniversary of her death today, like to think she's sent me a present (although, as always, she made me pay for it).

Cant believe it’s been a year, that’s mad. No chance I ever forced her to do anything, I'd have been sleeping on the sofa if I tried. Really don't remember why she was wearing it, she was an Arsenal fan primarily (because her dad was) but she did come over to the Blue side once she saw how invested Josh became.

Hope your mates at TT are keeping you going and thoughts to you and family at this time. Rhanks Gwlad. Have that shirt as well, I've told the story before but I'll do it again; I was living in Somerset with my parents in 1994 after leaving my flat/job in London with heath problems. There was a shop in Wells that had the shirt (Tony Pryce sports) for a crazy high price considering it was the end of the season but I promised myself I'd buy it if we were relegated, to show loyalty, even though I had only about £50 to my name. We won and I thought, "fuck it" and jumped into my parent's car (didn't have my own, jeez turning into a right sob story) and got to the shop just before it closed. Great decision!

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Now that I know I'll be able to attend the games this season I think I'll start to feel more into the club again. Part of the excitement for me is going the game, so the uncertainty around that for me was probably playing a part in me not really being arsed. Fair play to our fans that can't go to the games for whatever reason because that is such a big thing to miss out on.
