  1. Being of a certain age, hooliganism was part and parcel of the matchday experience, with many people, whilst not a part of a organised firm would get involved in the heat of battle or say, if a mob of opposition supporters appeared on the Holte. In the 70's if you travelled away, male, female or child you were classed as fair game by the home supporters. The 80's saw the rise of the more organised football firm, like our C Crew, one of the first multi racial firms in the UK in a predominately right wing pastime. People often forget that the firm that came before the Birmingham Zulus, the Apex were extremely right wing with hardly any, if at all multi racial members. Thatcher and later, the rave scene in the late 80's diluted football violence with everyone pilled and 'loved' up. However it morphed again in the early 90's with smaller much more organised groups in the main meeting well away from the match and much less bullying of so called normal people that was prevalent in the proceeding decades. A couple of instances stick in my memory, one of them being dragged out of the old Witton by Dad when a Millwall fan pulled a knife next to us shouting he was going to kill Brian Little after he scored in a FA Cup game at Villa Park. On the other hand the relief that was palpable in the away end at Forest one year when the Steamers arrived meaning the family Villa support would have some protection when leaving the ground later, something they often did. Loads more but just interested in any tales witnessed, as stated at one time it was part and parcel
  2. Slightly off topic but I’ve got a real thing for that woman on that fraud advert a few months ago that asks for the second and third digit of someone’s pin number and then pretends not to hear the answer and she then asks for the first and fourth. She is smiling whilst asking the questions and her face goes into an evil sneer devoid of human emotion when she gets the information, stating ‘ Did you see what I did there’ She would not have to ask me for my pin twice
  3. And to become that key in just 10 games Shows you the abundance of talent that the boy possesses. I would say his potential is limitless

    And it’s great isn’t it. The strong silent type of owner. I think we are in incredibly good hands
  5. That’s great news, if I can save some money on my football subscriptions I can buy my new CARRRRRRRRRR
  6. You forget that Jack was a fanatic Gooner as a young man and evidence of this is all over Twitter and has told friends he has brought a flat in Kensington in preparation for his dream move to his boyhood club.
  7. I agree, i honestly do not think there is a story here. The moment we officially stayed up he was going nowhere, his bond with Smith clinches it IMO
  8. My Mrs has fish. Chips, mushy peas, curry sauce, pickled onion, picked egg but no gravy. Make of that what you will.
  9. I completely disagree with the cheap comment. The owners spent every single penny they could under FFP rules. They are a pair of seriously wealthy individuals who are committed to driving this club forward. I’ll take you up on your bet as well

    I would say one header, that goes in we win the game
  11. So refreshing to hear this type of comment, in the day and age where players think they are bigger than the clubs they play for how humbling that one of our own knows and understands
  12. I have said this a few times, I honestly think the lad Could never turn out in another clubs colours at VP against us. I think he stays and he stays for life. In all fairness why should he not, we are now officially back in the big time and on the up we have done the hard part let’s kick on from here
  13. In Dean we trust - he has earned that trust
  14. slight correction my friend, he has earned the right to manage his club next season
  15. Always shit on the Tesco's carrier bags
  16. Quite simply, in Dean we trust, Manager, coach, gentleman, one of our own, already a legend in my eyes
  17. 1) it was half time 2) why bother being an admin on a site dedicated to something you have no interest in 3) WE ARE STOPPING UP I SAID WE ARE STOPPING UP 4) there’s a party going on upstairs
