Down T'Lane again last night. Not convinced Notts deserve their current league position but pretty convinced Carlisle don't, came to play rather than stop which made for a better game. Notts were moving the ball poorly, often in panic, possibly missing Dan Crowley.
-
Always Carlise or Bromley.
A bit like when in the 80s / 90s, whenever UK TV showed Aussie Rules of a Sunday morning, it was always Hawthorn playing someone.
Which probably wasn't Carlise. Or Bromley.
-
Monday night football. Always used to be Spurs vs Villa, or Villa vs Spurs. Occasionally it would be Villa vs Newcastle or Spurs vs Newcastle, but if that was the case you knew the following week it was going to be Villa against Spurs.
-
Fella sat next to me at work today who went last night said he was quite impressed with Carlisle. They've apparently made a few signings of late after an American takeover and he thinks they'll comfortably pull away from danger now.
-
I've seen 3 games this year and there we're the best away side by some margin, Bromley came to interrupt and Swindon were just old school gash. Based on last night they look like they should pull away.
-
Swindon being gash is another 'always'.
I do recall tubbing them 3-0 in the 98 promotion season (I missed the first goal still twatting about getting my ticket) and then there was the 7 (seven) nil in the mid 00s. Might have been a L1 fixture.
I'm sure there are others.
-
We did have a miserable draw at their place when it was pissing it down raining and PVH had just come back from international duty so didn't start or something along those lines if my memory serves me right (a quick check and it was '97, finished 0-0 and PVH played only 20 minutes)
-
Miserable 2-1 loss in the absolutely pouring rain in August 2005 - I had stupidly convinced the future Mrs J to come and sample some real football with a summer away day on an openair terrace. She's not been to football since.
-
Lower league strugglers Derby County are now the only team in the 92 to have lost every game in 2025.
-
In our early days I remember taking the now Mrs Seven to a midweek Middlesbrough away trip, she was feeling under the weather too. She has never let me forget that one.
-
Future Mrs BW came with me to an away day at Grimsby in the early 2000s - another 0-0 draw from memory. She's also not been to one since.
I genuinely have no idea what I was thinking (in terms of us being quite early in our relationship).
"Yes, an afternoon in Cleethorpes, if you fancy it. My treat. To see who? Well, Jack Lester, Christian Edwards, Andy Gray and Jon Hjelde. It'll be ace..."
-
Weirdly I took my (then) heavily pregnant wife to that game, and it was also the last game she went to. Sat in the covered Swindon end thankfully as it was twatting it down.
-
Some team that.
-
Mrs Rave came to this game with me.
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7639369.stmAll game the lad in front of us was berating Speroni and coming out with stuff like 'Gypo - where's your caravan?'. At full time Mrs Rave said loudly enough for him to hear 'at least we had commentary from Twat FM to entertain us'.
-
I took Mrs Shady to a game or two when we first started dating. It was kinda nice. But nowadays I think I'd be annoyed if she showed an interest in coming regularly - it's time I get away from family and commitments - "me time".
-
Looks like quite an interesting game at Villa Park tonight.
