The football "yob" look of the 1980s is making a big comeback following the release of hooligan flick The Firm, with sales of sportswear brands such as Fila and Sergio Tacchini soaring.



The above taken from the BBC Sports site is a worry, it was a shite look back then and is a shite look now.

Nah, that's banter, not sneering bitterness...

Please don't circulate that too widely otherwise he'll be in line for PFA Player of the Year again :))

In a similar vein, when Santini was asked to sign as manager for THFC, he said he thought he was going to be the manager of the Thierry Henry Fan Club, and then the bitter truth dawned on him!!

loved the comment from the manager on the lines of ' we were away at Macclesfield and the reality of it sunk in' made me chuckle. What was he actually expecting? Nice thT the real world encroaches on their ivory towers every know and then.


Not like good old Sheringham who'll play anywhere that'll have him, where is he now, Dagenham or something?

The despised Sheringham now plys his trade at Beckenham Town

Sheringham and the word stunt, surely they mean..................................

Truth - it worries me and I've been trying not to think about it too hard. Alcohol helps. Last time he tried, he f*cked up, we lost Steve Bruce (not necessarily a bad thing at the time) and we got relegated. For a 'paper' billionaire he seems remarkably short of cash - needed a bridging loan for the ?3m non-returnable deposit he put down and a rights issue for Grandtop to raise the ?57m for purchase. Grandtop annual report states that their football related director (MacManaman, Fan Zhiyi, Karambeu) all have extensive football management experience - I'm not aware that they have a day between them. So far the takeover has fallen foul of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange twice - his offer to fund ?5m of transfers out of his own pocket (he claimed to have already spoken to players) and lack of information supplied prior to the rights issue - this delays the EGM in Hong Kong to 5 October.


The current board seem to be going anyway - adverts round Brum, emails to supporters, article on website, annoucning Saturday's game is their last at St Andrews. They rescued the club from administration 16 years ago and have made vast steps forward - debt free, yearly profits (except one year) - but never made the required investment to take the club through to the next stage. And they've had a lot of criticism for this over the past few years. They're also getting a good return on their initial (and subsequent) investment. But they've come to the decision its time to move on (and I wish them well, even if this is not universally true for Blues fans).


Ka Song (his real name) Yeung says he wants Birmingham to open up the Chinese market but seems very vague about how he intends to do this. Most fans want him to build on our current status, investing more in the playing side. So far this season, performances have been very solid with some good football being played (unlike the previous season and a half which have been dire) and some good players brought in. Still desperately short of a creative midfielder and a goalscorer. If he gives McLeish the money to bring them in, fans will love him (until we get relegated). Also we need to get the fourth side of the ground redeveloped.


At the moment, it's all a bit wait and see. I wouldn't be totally surprised if the takeover collapsed at the last minute.

    • 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".
