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 is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
