No doubt this is an excellent post. I got a lot of knowledge after reading good luck. Theme of the blog is excellent. There is almost everything to read, Brilliant post. Visit Emergency Plumbing Newport for professional plumbing services.
I just called and asked if they could look at a leaking tap this afternoon. They told me "fcuk off, you're 200 miles away" - maybe you could do likewise?

The Happy Shop's released what it's calling a "Heritage range" with old crests. Hopefully it's only the start – the T-shirts are a bit "Will this do?" - but the li'l badges are quite nice.

...now some retro jerseys. Not entirely sure about some of the choices meself - I could live without the bottle-green one - but taste is subjective.

After seeing that Green BEN one in the flesh last week, I really like it - It would NOT be very erm.. Flattering on the 38yr old gut though

Not really a cheerup but maybe is as it is on a DVD,
I put on the DVD of December 29th 2001 it’s part of the 5 disc set of Reebok Classics
This game Vs Leicester City we got 2 players sent off within 28 minutes and conceeded own early goal and another but played well and drawn game 2-2
RobbieSavage Subbed off first 30 minutes as well

One of the other DVDs has the game got me following Bolton Wanderers forever the League Cup 1st leg semi final Vs Aston Villa 5-2 win that game , I’ve mentioned this before many times

I’m glad the past seasons full EFL Trophy is on the youtube (the final)

Savage subbed off before he was sent off.

Think that was the game that a TV company wired up both managers to measure their heartbeats. Dangerously high, apparently and unsurprisingly.

'twas indeed that game - I was there. Big Sam and Dave Bassett I believe. Perfect game to prove the medical point - didn't we have 2 players sent off (Warhurst & ??), they had 1 (Izzet?) and Robbie Savage was indeed subbed to prevent him either being sent off himself, or maimed by our players. Seem to think Ricketts scored a last min equaliser for us after an early own goal?

Yeah Ricketts header in added time

Other player to be sent of was Holdsworth. Both he and Warhurst were done for challenges and confrontations with Savage

2-0 down, got it back to 2-1 9v11 then Izzet was sent off for them before Ricketts’ equaliser
