I enjoyed it; didn't think it was too emotionally manipulative or a sob story - came across as honest and open. Good strong format - just him talking to camera - hope they do a lot more of these with others.

Reminds me of the Samassi Abou chant - well not really a chant.


Was at UP in late 90s when I heard it first as he was brought on as a sub - copied weeks later by Gooners chanting Kanuuuuu! - didn't really have the same impact without the 'B' but soon spread to other clubs who had a player with an 'oo' sound on their surname.


Think THAT originated at the Boleyn but could be wrong...


ETA: also seem to remember first hearing the "There's a hole in your heart dear Asa..." at a televised West Ham-Man City game in the 70s but that probably started elsewhere.

Arsenal fans later used it for Eboue, but the boo eventually turned into actual get off your shite boos.

I like it when fans can be self-deprecating about their own team/players. Back in the mid/late 80's I used to watch Celtic games, and their fans started a chant in 'honour' of new signing, the rotund Mark McGhee...


He's fat, he's round, he's worth a million pounds, Mark McGhee, Mark McGheeeeeee

People often tell me that Rangers and Celtic would, if they moved to England, be in the Championship. Next year Rangers can let us all know what its like to be a championship side.

Was that reliable cab made in Wales?

I thought it was awarded for going unbeaten in a season. Perhaps you can tell me different?

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
