Has anyone who opted for delivery by post for their Port Vale ticket actually received it yet?

I'm off the beer for 3 months, so if everyone could not post here till April in solidarity.

I did the 'dry January' job in 2020, just to see if I had the willpower (and working in Norway for some of that time certainly concentrated my mind)!

To my surprise I managed it relatively easily, but come 1st February, I felt no better and my blood pressure was still high, so here ended the lesson for evermore, cheers!

Similar thing happened at Shrewsbury too. A load of youths came in late (after KO) and just stood in the aisle/on the steps in front of me. The stewards just shrugged their shoulders and did nowt.

Did the bogs resemble those on the Popside at a 38,000 gate for the full experience?

Maybe misguided, but I'd sooner be in form chasing than being top and looking over your shoulder.

We're midway through January and no sign of our annual meltdown, (ducks for cover).

I think it’s called levelling up. Bird’s goal was so outrageous (in a good way obviously), the officials probably felt obliged to allow an outrageous goal for Cheltenham as well. ?

There’s no need for that kind of language on here.

This may have been covered already but how did the lino miss the offside for their 2nd goal

 

There were two offside so it doesn’t count. In L1 two wrongs do make a right.

Missed the end of the game. Just reading the comments. How many did we lose by in the end?

we won by a single cardiac arrest

Was the Cashin sub to save any chance of a yellow?

Who else is a nervous wreck? ?

I reckon if it’s very wet the lads should be allowed to play in wellies.

Train out of Paddington is f*****. Our railway network is about as much use as Lewis Dobbin in a 1v1. Ducks sake

Yeh, but at least the NHS is £350,000,000 a week better-off and all those pesky immigrants have gone home.

Nobody does but how do you know Chatteris if you dont mind me asking? 

I worked for a business based in the Cambridge/Fens area for a long time.

I'm used to negotiating those Fen roads in the dark when faced with a Mk IV Cortina coming the opposite way with only one working  headlight. ?

Just now, David said:

Have you thought about getting a hot air balloon back to the North West after the game?

Just inquiring about a sedan chair TBH, David. Hot air balloon would have been a goer normally, but north-easterlies forecast for 30th Jan (and I don't want to end-up picking carrots in Chatteris).

It was serious suggestion.

Read it again B4, I'm saying West Ham fans will be able to get home after the game as there is a train to London at about 10:30 PM, but I'm travelling from the north-west and no trains are available from Derby after about 8:45 PM, so it's completely pointless.

Well that’s me not going then. London to derby on a Monday night is not fun

But at least you can see the full game and still get a train back the same night!

Evening game means a hotel stopover in Derby for me so it's not going to happen. ?

Crazy when the the vast majority of the West ham fans will be able to get-in the full 90 minutes and still catch a train home to London.

I can remember him scoring a beauty against Ipswich.  He was a really decent player…

in fact, here it is.  Wow I haven’t seen this clip 35 years!

 

Been said upthread, but that penno! ?

The lad at Accrington should watch that to make himself feel better.

Sorry, have I missed the link to Coronavirus here?

Is that the best you can do?

Bentley cars in Crewe post record numbers in 2022. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business-car-sales/bentley-breaks-sales-record-bumper-2022

Normally anything positive to do with UK manufacturing would be great news, but this is a very sad reflection of a divided society in my book given the state of everything else.

Failure of the second stage rocket according to the latest info on the BBC, reason as yet unknown!

Well, depends how much he’s being dragged.

More like a lurcher chasing a rabbit.

Lights blue touch paper, stands well back, then pffffft…., we’ve all been there!

Shame though.
