Do You Remember Choosing A Team To Support?

[mrbojangles]

BTW Mr BJ, where is Old Trafford?

Just outside Manchester Toady. I went to watch the Lady Boy's of Bangkok there once. Now they play there every other saturday

I think I might report this post to the mods Is Manchester in the North East then?

What are you harping on about Toady. Do you not know where OT is? I thought you'd seen a picture and shared it with james.

Daddies is better than HP. Loads of it over any savoury pastry, especially sausage rolls. Bloody lovely.

Anyone found Daddies brown sauce here?

no. HP sauce is the brown sauce. if you walked in a caff for a brekkie and there was daddies on the table you turned round, left and went to another caff. it's like any ketchup that isn't heinz, it can only ever be slightly disappointing.

So very wrong. HP is too sweet, it's got a barbeque sauce tang to it.. Daddies is more hardcore. Agree on the Heinz ketchup though.

no malt vinegar or tamarind in daddies. it's a pale imitation of HP.

I prefer to use quality ingredients...not smother monkey sauce over spam.

Rijits story should be interesting

Still no word

[MrRed]

Not much story on yours either Alfie!

Correct Red, plain and simple mine Why, who else's hasn't got much story ?

[Sunderland]

I was born in Wallsend, within spitting distance of Newcastle city centre. My dad, born in Gateshead, was a Sunderland fan, much to the disgust of his father and the rest of the family who were all Newcastle fans. I was dragged along to Roker Park in 1977 at the age of 6 and never looked back. Red and white ever since then. Favourite season was following Sunderland in the old 3rd division under Denis Smith. Happy days!

Used to travel to a lot of home and away games from south-west England after we moved there. Used to meet a wide range of fans supporting a huge range of teams. Particularly remember one lad who was from Somerset who travelled to every Fulham home and away game ... this was around 1987 when Fulham were in the old 3rd division.

Never doubted the fact that one's 'knowledge' or 'understanding' of the game is not dependent upon the team you follow or the level of the league in which your team play.

Could we not set up a Joys of Rochdale thread - it certainly seems the place to be. Do they have an Ice Hockey Mr BJ?

No Toady....Devon and Cornwall is the place to be in England

I prefer Cornwall, Devon's not really the real deal - although lived in Plymouth for 3 years. They don't make proper pasties, and they don't make proper clotted cream

Pasties would knock the pastry off the crap pies that most football league clubs serve up. That's the best reason (maybe the only reason) that Cornwall should have a football league team.

You can harp on about Pasties all day Toady but until you know how to make proper Gravy to put on the top, they will never taste any good. We can even make those Scottish Pies taste good with our Gravy. Now that is a miracle.

Pasties are fantastic, but a stotty cake stuffed with ham and pease pudding washed down with chips covered in gravy and mushy peas can't be beaten.

Give over man. Cornish-bloody-pasty's don't come close to being as tasty as Hollands Meat and Potato pie, Mushy Peas and Gravy. We are talking serious heaven in a foam tray.

Northern monkeys...Daddies sauce indeed!

Thought you were the Northerner and we were the Southereners

Don't mistake Highlanders with Northerners mrboj....we're a far more canny bunch.

Mancs are alright though I suppose....

Edit: Folk from the Midlands talk funny...have you noticed that?

They are quite useful at weddings for a quickie with the bridesmaid Stevie.

You English of course prefer beating each other with hairbrushes and dressing up in latex.

Or whinging about great tennis players.

Just to advise there is another world cup break in the middle of October

At Exeter last season

Perhaps you can expand a bit on this Rij

[oldgit]

mjj, not really a surprise that you were supporting them before 2005 but certainly a surprise if you were supporting them before 1996

I remember being dragged across Vauxhall Bridge,by the old man,at the age of four (1951). What sticks in my mind was that,no matter where you lived in South London,everybody walked to the ground.

I think you'll find oldgit was quoting Monty Python but it seemed to go over everyone's head.

No, lets just hope he stays on the Liverpool thread

Never watched Monty Python...before my time time.
