Who is this Noone character and why can he buy tickets?

Never get this argument o Never understand this argument of ‘I’d like to see some of you try’. That’s not the point. If I think my plumber has done a bad job, I am free to comment. Doesn’t mean I am obliged to give it a go myself.

I find him very difficult to listen to. Smug with no good reason to be. His compulsion to use the opposition’s nickname grates on me. The Robins, The Bluebirds, The Foxes etc. Give it a rest.

I shared a flat with an NME journalist in London in 2005 so have quite a few of these.

I’ve been decaf across the board now, both tea and coffee, for a couple of years. The I hear that the chemicals with which they use to decaffeinate are potentially harmful. Nothing is straightforward.

Being as the Earth is 4.6 billion years old, I reckon the difference between 3,000 years and 6,000 years is fairly negligible.

YES is fantastic. All four floors of it.

Been there a few years. Worked under Dean Smith and Steven Gerrard too.

Judging by RedcarRed’s surprise/incredulity earlier on in the thread, I’m surmising that he has conflated Gustavo Lombardi and Attilio Lombardo.

Of course the Terry’s Chocolate Apple pre-dates the Chocolate Orange, although it wasn’t apple flavoured. The 1970s saw the Chocolate Lemon. Sounds resistible .

Someone needs to tell him it’s ‘another think coming’ and not ‘another thing coming’.

I saw them about twenty times back in the day. Cherry Jam, Rhythm Factory, Cockpit etc. Saw Babyshambles several times too including their first ever gig at The Troubadour. However, this leaves me cold. For me, The Libertines were about a time and a place. It doesn’t make sense to me seeing...

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned the presence of the (in)famous Boro Bugler that season.

Not really true. Karanka, Monk, Robson and McClaren were all younger than Mowbray when they took the reins and they were all backed heavily. Warnock was highly experienced and not hugely backed financially. Neither was Wilder really.

In my opinion. Needlessly stigmatising the rest of the neurodiverse community.
