When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No

Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes

I'd erased Mark Hudson from my memory.

Dianne Abbott was marking mine 😉

Edit. Didn't see the earler Abbott post on this thread.

Dianne is gutted now. She has read this thread and can't believe that 647 people have commented 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Yes it was. I would also have made the same joke had it been a white Tory male that fcuked up like she did.

So dry yer eyes you bleeding heart liberal.

Do it then: Phillip Hammond (the Chancellor who really should know numbers) made a mess of some sums on HS2 the same week on the same programme!

Anyway: It was more a reference to two people making the same (very repetitive) joke on the same thread rather than a political point.

A slight apology. I didn't see the first Abbott joke, so yes I'll concede that one.
As for repetitive, it's fcuking topical  
And just to urine on your holier than thou  bonfire. I voted Labour.

Had to say it made me titter Civvy, despite me being a bleeding heart liberal. And a tree-hugger too!

But LH makes a good point. I didn't realise Phil Hammond copulated up his numbers too but that wasn't aired ad nauseum.

I lost the will to live after about 40 questions. You would have to be a real Statto to know some of those - or maybe a Performance Analyst?

28/50 - very disappointed with my poor performance. I've benched myself and I'll be putting in extra training! Just hope I can prove the doubters wrong and get back to the level I know I'm capable of.

In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
