If you ever find yourself in Rotherham (not on a match day) the Cutlers is the best place to drink

Great character, great beer selection, great music venue, 5 minute walk from the station

RIP Spider

scoring in those two fantastic matches

yes it was plain blue on the other side but didn't have a badge or anything on the front

I cut most of my hair off and beard in 1977 when i got into punk

what do you think?

This was a picture from a Sunday paper of the Ken Knighton winning goal in the 88th minute against Bolton in 1974

I got a proper print of it from the paper - that's me circled just above the keeper's head

All those three extra glorious games against Arsenal in 1979 and the welcome income they bring in  - gone for good.

(Appreciate rounds one and two also went to a replay that campaign)

One of my favourite facts ever

We played NINE FA Cup games that season and didn’t make it to the 4th round

The support we took to the three replays at Leicester was incredible for an average Third Division team 

RIP Bricat

He was featured receiving his award and giving an interview at the end of the EFL highlights programme 

I know it was L**ds but they had two blatant hand ball penalties not given

i know it was L**ds but making such deadful mistakes at the top of the table could cost a team tens of millions of pounds by not going up 

Pato got the crowd going too in the first minute of the second half chasing across their back four and making the last guy blast it out for a throw

it was brilliant later on when he went chasing a back pass to their goalie and one of their centre half’s tried to block him and just carried on running and flattened him 

Do we really want them hanging around with that shower that played on Monday?

You take one snap shot of the game. When we get a corner I don't really bother seeing the outcome as 75% chance it hits the front defender.

The number of piss poor goals conceded at our end from corners or free kicks is pathetic 

 

More like 90%
if we know this is going to happen why don’t we put someone in front of the defender and maybe we’ll get a flick on or a header back to the corner taker 

By the way the queue is for Wilson Peck on the corner of Leopold Street

they didn’t sell tickets at the hall itself in those days 

Hope you've had a great day Tee

Happy Birthday mate

I was in this queue for Led Zeppelin tickets for the gig on 2nd January 1973

Quite fancy this one, saw him at Primavera in Barcelona a couple of years ago and before that in 2008 at the O2 Academy in Sheffield surprisingly. Brilliant live performer.

Nice one

I've seen him quite a few times in the last 25 years and with Grinderman

I was at that Sheffield gig and it was amazing thta he played there

I remember someone shouting out "what do you think to Sheffield" and he replied "I like it, I may buy a holiday home here"

First Direct Arena L**ds - 2nd November 2024

Not toured the UK for 7 years

New album out on 30th August

Comment on EFL highlights last night “Port Vale still waiting for Darren Moore’s methods to take effect” 

Played 8

Won 0

Drawn 1

Lost 7

For 5

Against 16

Points 1

And taking them from 5th bottom to 2nd from bottom 6 points adrift 

I think you’ll find that that is his effect and you’ve signed up for 5 years of it 

Birmingham apparently 

1 point in last 15
7 loses in last 10 league games
2 wins in last 9 home league games

surely they are on course to finish well short of 50 points 

No surprise to hear that Wilks only ever played once for L**ds  - in the cup defeat at Sutton

Wasn’t a free kick that was taken at least 10 yards from where it was given

It wasn’t 4 minutes exactly it was at least 4 minutes

everyone knows that a ref waits until an attack is finished before blowing so hardly a surprise 

Draw and we are out of the bottom three

Win and we are up to 16th
