    Turk Thrust got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Mighty Rams are number 1, who are your number 2?   
    Born within earshot of the BBG in Abingdon Street, so always a Rams fan. Second and third teams are the ones nearest where I now live in NE London. Orient are a great family club and just 3 tube stops away. Their supporters club bar regularly wins CAMRA awards. Next, and one tube stop further away, is West Ham where I became a STH 4 years ago, mainly because of the over 65s price which has now gone up to £160!

    I'm sure the EFL will acknowledge your acceptance.

    I'd probably use unsociable rather than unsocial, but I think either is valid.

    Uninterested and disinterested. There’s a difference but so many posters say that “he appeared to be disinterested”. Should be  “uninterested”.  “Disinterested” means unbiased.  
     
    The noun of “disinterested” is “ disinterestedness” but confusingly the noun of “uninterested” is “disinterest” so it is correct to say “he appeared to play with disinterest” but wrong to use “disinterested”.

    It was like watching Derby. Backwards, sideways, forwards, sideways, back to goalie. Pathetic performance

    Turk Thrust got a reaction from Kingpin in Baseball Ground Memories   
    Also I seem to recall from my days at the Wardwick local history library that the area near the Ground was bought from the Reeves family hence Reeves Road. Their farm was Leacroft farm and so Leacroft Rd. Dairyhouse Road was where they milked the cows.His daughters were Catherine and Augusta (both streets) his son was Malcolm hence Malcolm Street. And Grayling Street is named after the farmer’s donkey! There’s probably more Reeves family connections such as Douglas Street and Olivier Street but my memory isn’t what it was

    Think she was confusing Joz with another player. I watched the whole match. There’s no way he was one of their best players.

    Anyone with the same surname as me is going to be great! When I went to Nigeria I was introduced to the President of the Court of Appeal. When he heard my name he “oh we have lots of you in Nigeria”

    Yep they still have the song but a record not a live band. It’s hardly a rousing song to get the blood up is it “I’m forever blowing bleeding bubbles” My nearest team is the Orient, a lovely little family club with a supporters club bar that has won CAMRA awards. I go there now and again, once wearing a Rams shirt and didn’t have to pay for a drink all night.

    I’ve been a STH at West Ham for 4 years and I’ve never heard anyone refer to them as The Hammers anymore. It’s the Irons and even the official screen says COYI.

    Whats all this rubbish about that alonso has spoken to cardiff , he did speak to them they have confirmed that but never got into serious discussions . So the bloke is telling the absolute truth .
    Im getting sick of this . It looks like to me we have finally got someone young and vibrant taking over the club and alot of people are jealous , and a few Derby fans are irrritated as well as they dont have an excuse to moan .There seems to be a campaign to make this bloke look bad . Jealousy springs to mind to me . 
    The bloke has done nothing wrong at all so at the moment im fully behind him and find its bloody brilliant that it looks like we will have funds again
