    Roiling football blather

    enjoying all y'all Inter analysis (didn't see it myself but as others have said, not that it's a given, but you could have said beforehand if anyone can stop Barca it would be Inter w their rather particular style). in other news i just want to say oh dear Tranmere :o Chris Senior's...

    BNP support NOT linked to immigration

    next to where i grew up Mcr Withington is one of the few non-Lab seats in the conurbation, having used to be a fairly safe Labour seat. but Lib-Dem J Leech got in there at the last general and i think at least partly it was Iraq (despite the fact that for all i know the incumbent Labour bod...

    BNP support NOT linked to immigration

    cheers T. you may be familiar w a few high-profile useful idiot type lads that the EDL use for their turn-outs, these few lads in question happen to be visibly practising Sikhs. slightly OT but i read a piece on Shiraz Socialist the other day where a Salma Yaqoob campaign bod spoke off the...

    BNP support NOT linked to immigration

    give over Matt, the country is full of immigrants. i read so in the Daily Express. (who, incidentally, have NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE RISE OF THE BNP, oh god no, how ever could you suggest such a thing.)

    BNP support NOT linked to immigration

    this is Stoke Central, areas of the Black Country where the BNP have a go, and certain parts of Lancashire to a tee, of course.

    BNP support NOT linked to immigration

    bang on John. the odd non-white Brit would probably support the BNP if they could, certainly w their new tack of anti-Muslim bigotry and their anti-immigrant populism. i've said this on thread before but remember the naive surprise experienced by George Alagiah when he went to Burnley or...

    Who's seeing ash in the sky?

    our kid told me a colleague of his drove back from Turkey where he had been holidaying. mental. well, drove to France from Turkey, then chunneled it at least. great story in a paper today about how some bloke who runs a vegetarian Swiss restaurant in southwest London (that was the description...

    Roiling football blather

    true, true. also what Cracker said :o but still! D_Q: a WBA mate of mine says if you go up (he specified Forest, i don't know what he thinks about any of the others, but is he a fan of you) he would consider a big bet on all three promoted teams staying up. (he is more confident about Albion's...

    Roiling football blather

    this is eminently reasonable. + amid all the media wailing about the lack of English teams in the CL last four (which i'm naturally loving, embittered manc that i am ;) - apologes to Vim, Tom, Paul Nomos, etc etc ), it's also a fair shout to note that two of the last four in the Europa are...

    Roiling football blather

    Luton fan eh Pat? all the best mate, i'm a (rather part-time!) Alty fan. didn't go on Satd but our kid attended and said that you were basically contained. it does rather sound like we just sat there but tbf that's what to expect i guess. he was scratching his head about the six minutes of...

    Roiling football blather

    ^^ deffo. interesting relegatees for the Conference, Darlo and (realistically it will be) Grimsby. there's a lot of southern-based teams in the Conf so this has to be good for the likes of York, Barrow, Alty, Mansfield, Wrexham. and w Newport going up we've got our first south Welsh...

    Roiling football blather

    i know! that disallowed was softer than City's penalty versus the Blues of Birmingham. OVERJOYED for Hucks (and Rochdale and Notts County and Stevenage). looking interesting at both ends of League 1, people. Espanyol's new ground is quite nice. tight. i watched the Genoa derby last weekend...

    Who's seeing ash in the sky?

    i got up this morning and for about ten or 20 minutes saw loads of ash in the sky, dull, cloudy white covering everything down the road, and thought to myself 'hey up! Icelandic, spot on!' then i realised it was a bloke doing a bonfire up the street in his garden.

    Who's seeing ash in the sky?

    yeah i think it's too high up for us to see it from the ground but it's obviously causing delays across Europe, certainly north & west Europe anyway. hope your better half isn't stuck come Sunday, Leo! that said, i think airports are supposed to get moving by this time tomorrow again. a...
