Thanks H, I blame the Brussel Sprouts.
I'm glad we agree on who 'Shamess' is who wrote the comments in the Guardian about Craig. I reckon the half-wit wanted to call himself 'Shameless' but didn't know how to spell it. He certainly wont be winning any Nobel Literary prizes in the forseeable future.....unlike me and you eh ?

Quite right Sir.....
I've always said that Craig should have had more time but I was surprised that there were quite a few who wanted him out and who were not happy with him... People see the game if different ways.
Still we support the team and players and managers come and go. I'm sure they are more realistic about that side of the game than we are. I spoke to one of my all time footballing heros years ago and he said "You have to remember, in the end it's just a job to us".
So now I'm looking forward to going to Morrisons tomorrow and compairing the price of Baked Beans instead of standing on the terraces watching the "Sleeping Giants" of South London football....
Bliss.

I've been watching the football 'Mavericks' series of documentaries on ITV4 and was staggered to discover Charlie George only played one hour of International football for England and even that was in a Home International.

I've meet Charlie a few times... What a top bloke and really down to earth even though most Gooners of my age look upon him like a God.
Anthony came very close to being called Charlie... But his Mum put a block on it because of the 1971 cup final upsetting her family so much... Spoil sport that she is...
So he was named after Tony Adams.... His mum says it's after Tony Soprano... So either a gangster or a drunk....
Anthony will probably call his son Frankie....

I met Steve Clarke the ex-Chelsea full back and current Reading manager at a function at Stamford Bridge once.......the most miserable git you could ever imagine......unless you count Cheery Dave.

Morrisons have recently appointed a new manager after the previous encumbent failed in his brief to bring success to the retail giant. A five year stint in charge saw the store slip down the league and this season finish a disappointing mid table. After a promising start to the campaign, with jerk chicken and rice flying off the shelves, things went downhill from November and didn't recover, allowing rivals Aldis and Lidls to claim the coveted play off places. We wish the new CEO all the best in his new job.

As were going down memory lane, the night of our champions league game against Porto, I was sitting in our favourite Italian restaurant in Didsbury, and who should I see about to leave but an all time hero of mine,
" Billy Foulkes" ( for those of you who are going who! he scored the winning goal for United against Real Madrid which took us through to the 1968 final ) being full of beer and Chardonnay I approached him and asked him to join me and my two friends for a glass or two of wine, this was graciously accepted and he and his family sat with us for about half an hour, talk about a genuinely nice man, they do not come more sincere.
Although the memory of Jose sliding towards the Stretford End as he celebrated their equalising goal, which put us out on the night, is also indelibly imprinted in my memory, it could not spoil what for me was a memory of meeting my lifelong hero, a night which will live with me forever.
Happy day`s.

Perhaps, at the start of the season you should stand at the away end, just in case
