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?

      Taking builders rubble to recycling centre Devon St

      By ed_pete · Posted

      Vans are restricted to one hour a day 8:30 to 9:30 and have to be pre-booked.  So long as you went with and were able to show the right ID then I doubt it would be an issue unless the builders van is emblazoned with their branding as businesses aren't allowed to use it.

      GALA 2026

      Perhaps they would run into the issue that Lambeth had if they put it on the  Rye - maybe they would need planning permission for change of use if more than 28 days of permitted development are used up for all the other events plus this. So perhaps emphasising that the two areas are distinct from each other actually helps the council.

      Christmas Lights?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      I think the council could make more of that too. Sell a ticketed event with a local celebrity turning the lights on, followed by a street party with christmas carols and a christmas pop song cover band.

      When we had lots of rubble to dispose of, we hired a zip an and took it. Didn't have to pay, but they don't allow vans in Sundays from memory
