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.

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

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
