...and you, probably consider yourself being "on the ball"..:))


p.s. I know West Ham fans like ???????? are a bit slow and he has dragged Anna down as well but I thought that Leeds fans were sharp as that nice Allan Clarke used to be...B)

If only you had waited 2 or 3 minutes you could have avoided making that little dig and made YOURSELF look silly as you either misinttepreted what I wrote or can't do the "math" like barty....but you just couldn't resist getting a little "pop" in...sigh..:-$

The game's up. What can I say, I was born in Acton!


1964/65 QPR V MILLWALL--Rodneeeee Marsh, The Morgan Twins, Millwall taking over both ends of The Terraces and singing "Bollix To Rangers" throughout the game, especially, as per usual away, we lost 3/1.


I have to say I don't remember seeing you there barty...B)


Following year Rangers Won 6/1 and the Millwall Fans staged a sit-in protest on the pitch DURING the game...


Memories ...:))

david c...I propose we form an unholy alliance to keep the Non-Prem Flag flying high! This thread should be prominent at all times, and retain an ascendency over those glory-hunters on the Prem Thread... Give me a Norman Hunter over a Glory Hunter every What say thee, dear friend...:)-D


I'll take that aas a "No!" then..Game On!

Fair enough I suppose...but I still think watching Rodney win the League Cup Final for them was a bit special! :))


On another subject: Ken Bates (for it is he) says Leeds have had no firm offer for Beckford. So how many have they really had? They'll not get a penny for him in 12 months...

More than special as they were 2/0 down, as I recall.


Used to love popping down, spontaneously, to see QPR in the late 1960's/Early 1970's.


Rod-nee was The King and a great act, though he did not take too kindly to someone attacking him with a stick at The Old Den during a 1/1 Draw..:))



Ken Bates (for it is he) .....Lovely fella--Wanted to electrocute his own Chelsea Fans with a proposed electric wire...lol


Once bumped into some Chelsea Headhunters who broke into his mansion and poured blue dye into his private swimming pool...


Life sucks sometimes, eh Kenny...

1986. The Milk Cup.


They also topped the old First Division from the beginning of the 87-88 season until Xmas, and finished as top London club the following May. Paul Parker, David Seaman and Les Ferdinand in the team I think.


I also remember a live tv league game, Man Utd v QPR live from Old Trafford. listening to the pre-match commentary about how the R's would be luck to take anything away from the game and would be looking to put in a good performance and not worry about the result.......they were 2-0 up inside ten minutes and won 4-1!!!!


EDIT: A little Googling reveals the date to be New Years Day 1992, and that nobody has scored 4 at Old Trafford since!

10 is better than nothing...but with 24 clubs in all that means there's no guarantee every club will be shown even once...


Hope they show 1 of the Sheffield derby games though!


The rumour that Beckford is going to Sheffield United, with Billy Sharp going the other way, refuses to die....although the valuation of Billy at ?2 million in this proposed deal does not lend the tale much credibility...:))

Middlesbrough v Sheffield United live on Sky on Friday 7th August. Looks like, as last season, we play a newly-relegated team in the televised opener. Last season we lost to Brum 1-0 with a goal in the 93rd minute....a 0-0 draw would have given us the automatic promotion spot! Sky are also showing the Utd v Wendies game live in September....

Newcastle being in the first two games of the season is just the way its worked out and its down to the BBC for choosing those matches to screen first.


Personally I can't wait to see how Newcastle perform in the Championship, can they turn around their fortunes and return to the Premiership (the best league in the world) or will they slide further into the mire like others, only time will tell, but I'll be watching!!!!!!

    • 57% of those who actually lived in the consultation area I believe. Around 3,000. Presumably 2,000 of whom are the ‘supporters of One Dulwich (but not members of One Dulwich? So how does one ‘join’?) So tell us about it. it seems fairly clear that Southwark could have done more first time round as they did open the junction back up to emergency services. I’m not sure why this suggests someone shawdowy is ‘pulling their strings’ though as you suggest. You say read up on it - why not share the evidence that emergency services were knocking on the council’s door for months and months?  You’ve just posted a claim the the LFB haven’t been consulted this time round, yet their spokesman says  “Regarding the FOI, the local authority did consult the Brigade. However, they didn’t initially contact the specific Southwark team, who responded on the FOI saying they hadn’t been contacted.” I have answered all your questions that are actual question. You ducked and deflected my two simple questions for several pages, before awkwardly distancing yourself from the claims made in the missive you shared 😳 A question that says “do you agree with a design that does nothing to stop persistent number plate covering offenders” is what’s called a loaded question. Whether one say yes or no it accepts the premise. It’s the classic ‘when did you stop beating your wife” construction, and it’s not very subtle.    
    • Can someone please explain who "one Dulwich" are?
    • We are actually referred to as "Supporters"...2,100 of us across Dulwich...read and weep! 😉   https://www.onedulwich.uk/supporters   Got it, the one where 64% of respondents in the consultation area said they wanted the measures "returned to their original state". Is that the one you claim had a yes/no response question?   Well I suggest you read up on it as it is an important part of the story of utter mismangement by the councils and this is why so many of us can't work out who is pulling the council's strings on this one because surely you can agree that if the emergency services were knocking on your door for months and months telling you the blocks in the roads were delayihg response times and putting lives at risk you'd do something about it? Pretty negligent not to do so don't you think - if I was a councillor it would not sit well with me?   Careful it could be a Mrs, Miss or Mx One.....   Of course you don't that's because you have strong opinions but hate being asked for detail to.back-up those opinions (especially when it doesn't serve their narrative) and exposes the flaws in your arguments! 😉  As so many of the pro-LTN lobby find to their cost the devil is always in the detail.....
