You married Aunt Bessy?

Great assist from me

 

[Jonboy60]

I thought the only times Coventry looked dangerous was when Collins had the ball
We provided all their decent chances .anf if we can eradicate these .by shipping out Collins to Maltby miners welfare fc we will continue to improve.If Colins could pass to our forwards in a game as much as he found Coventrys hed be world class

Harry tibbins, full time butcher and part time manager of Maltby Miners welfare fc here. Fuck off.

 

[sitwell]

Do you reckon if Clough had played Collins and Butler we would have gone down ?

 

[Jonboy60]

No, I don't think so, but Collins would have given it a damn good try.

“Look at that smirking twat (George Long), he knows it was in.”

Was it?

 

[metalblade]

Quite modern. I understand that's because the Germans flattened it in the war in the belief the Spitfire engine crank shaft was produced there. Whereas it was being produced at Neepsend in Sheffield.

I think you will find Spitfire crankshafts were made at Shardlows down Wincobank & Blackburn who had the only hammer in the country capable of doing the forging at the start of WW2, it was still shaking the ground night and day when I left Wincobank in the late 70's.

So you ver a spy mb?

I am ex wincobank (Newman Road) when we were first married. Could hear the hammer when I was laid in bed, quite soothing

 

[SUFC Guy]

Apart from a couple of mistakes (that didn't cost us) I though Collins did quite well actually. Won a lot of headers when Cov went long near to the end. I thought the back 4 were quite solid in fact.
You cannot expect players of their ability to never make a mistake within 90 mins - otherwise they would be playing a division higher.

Having said that I would keep just the Beard and Edgar from that back 5 and strengthen in Jan.

Hopefully something like this come the end of the Jan transfer window.

Long (getting better and better)

Yeah I couldn't sleep elsewhere without the background noise of Shardlow's hammer and the trains going past across Barrow Rd

I could hear it as a kid too. Felt like the heartbeat of the city.

They are awful….probably the most overrated overpaid players in the league. I wouldn’t swap one of our players for theirs. They won’t finish top 6!
amen

i think you all mean Rolls Royce Merlin crankshafts.. also used in the Lancasters and Hurricanes
pretty astonishing tactical error by the Germans that they didn't bomb Sheffield into the stone age. they left that to Thatcher instead

Not many sour grapes in that statement I see

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Loving the irony of people from Coventry (aka Concrete Central) calling Sheffield a shit-hole!

Sheffield = RIBBLE Valley

Coventry = RUBBLE Alley

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

It looked in at the time and having seen the reply you're right about it not being close.
It was clearly a goal.

Can't see a problem Pete, made up for the Brayford no goal against Oldham.

I don't have the slightest problem with it.
I'm delighted it wasn't given.
Just said it was in.
