Ewell CFC

A mates put together a jazz funk compilation for me. Mop Mop- Perfect Day, and Mario Biondi- This is what you are, are on heavy rotation round my gaff. ( Their both Italian oddly enough)

Osgood was good, now he’s no good...

That is top drawer. More than any other song, the “ Chelsea, Chelsea” bit at the end of OMWTM makes the hairs round be backside stand up. Great trip, friendliest Old Bill anywhere.

Never seen that before. Out of interest, when was the first time you saw bovver at the Bridge?

Yup. 4-1 in 88. Was working up there in 91 when Sc**thorpe played your nemesis Leeds in some Cup. Was out on a date in Henry Africa’s when it kicked off big time. Quite a rough town back then. It had a high murder rate for a little place

Getting knocked out of Cups was always a downer. Spurs 82 QF- half time we were dreaming of Wembley- when they equalised early second half remember saying to a mate “ d’you think they’ll give us all the Park Lane if it goes to a replay” Then they tore us to pieces ( they were a top team I hate to say. Next year Derby- we equalised in the second half then they scored with a couple of minutes left. Everyone was gutted coming home. Sundetland the following year in the Milk Cup- we lost it really up there, but having Clive Walker score rubbed salt into the wound. We were a pretty happy go lucky support when we were sh*t, but getting knocked out of Cups seemed to piss everyone off, mostly because it deprived you of a good day out in the next round, rather than thinking we were gonna win whatever competition

I believe that kit is being resurected for the Forest FA Cup game ( 50th Anniversary of 1970) It looks pretty faithfull to the original from I saw in the paper

Their pretty similar and both had the reputation of hellraisers. I always get Richard Harris mixed up with Keith Harris of Orville fame.

And a fine job of it you do Ersk.

RH was a Chelsea fan, Had a chat with him at the Coal Hole in the Strand early 2000s. He was living at the Savoy just round the corner and could be found propping up the bar most nights.

We got lost in Birmingham before the Villa Park semi v Man U in 96. We’ve come off the motorway- hit the back doubles- next thing there’s a small convoy of other Chelsea motors behind us, no doubt attracted by the scarfes hanging out the windows and the hope we knew where we were going- we all ended up jammed up in a culdesac... A geyser gets out the car behind and says ” Trust our luck following someone who doesn’t know where the f**k he’s going” My mate the driver “ What you going on about. We’ve come up to visit our Aunt Mable at number six. You can’t come in”

Thanks Ersk.

When did Palace change their club colours from Claret and Blue, to Red and Blue I wonder?

Yup Spurs fans I know think the same, however even though journalists no doubt have sust this out, there will be no counter headlines proclaiming “ There were no monkey noises and the whole thing is a massive misunderstanding” I’m personally sick of these faux race storms. Ps Where was the ink trades moral compass in decades gone by? It was a thousand times more prevalent, yet received a thousandth of the coverage. Bandwagon jumping pure and simple

In the crowd shot ( Brighton?) if you go above the keepers head towards the bottom left corner of the Union Jack, there appears to be an emu- where’s Rod Hull?

The Boxing Day games at Rangers all seem to merge into one. We got stuck in horrendous traffic at Shepherds Bush Green one year and got in late, another time or it might have been the same year we knocked up a mate who was due to come with us; his Mum opened the door to tell us he’d been admitted to hospital with alcoholic poisoning! Xmas day was always pleasant but a bit boring and you couldn’t wait for football and pubs being open the next day. Regarding QPR away support, the old joke used to be “ Rangers Travel Club Bulletin- the moped will leave at......”

Not sure whether posted before. Half Diamond Pringle which fits the long haired general like a glove.

Goodwill to all Chelsea Fans. Eat drink and be merry, before it’s too late, Or puff, sniff and fornicate x

Hi Yorkey. Not sure where you got political hero from seeing as I consider him a borderline jerk; just not a full blown jerk as in Corbyn case. So judging by evidence, the balance of probability is Rudiger misheard. No particular axe to grind however in common with previous incidents a misconception travels half way round the world before reality has got its pants on. Even if it was one plank giving it, that’s one plank out of the equivalent of a small town, which is piss in a bucket material. Cue howls of faux outrage from our virtue signaling correspondents and their “ one racist is one racist too many” tick seeking raison detre

The way it’s looking ( no one else reported monkey noises amongst a 60,000 crowd), implies that Rudiger misheard something else, however that hadn’t prevented the usual hysterical overreaction with calls for Government inquiries and the likes of self publicists such as Gary Neville spouting off. Its a small comfort that for once the boot is on the other foot ( use that term loosely seeing as we had one fan nicked for alleged abuse of Son) but it’s all way OTT as per usual.

F....img good answer Id say

Remind me, what’s Netherland for let’s go f**king mental? Me Dutch is a trifle rusty

When did the celery thing start? - 82 along with OMWTM probably. Was it a Greenaway creation? They we’re both so daft it was brilliant. In terms of fan power, funny songs and not giving a f**k I really think we were the best in the country. Leeds funnily enough I thought probably came closest.
