Quote from: "olneythelonely"
"Mrs Beckford has announced that she is pregnant, we should sign the foetus", by Coopers Injury - 1983

I like that one. I miss Coopers Injury a bit.


Good work in invoking the spirit of his quirky quoting style, too.

If Bari want want Platt, they can stump up or do one. We don't need the money.

I hope Ellis stands firm on this.

August 80: Saunders best days are behind him, he's not kept up with the times, should've kept Gray, we'll win nothing without him.

It has been great but what I meant was, after coming second in its inaugural season, we probably would have thought we could win it or at least finish second again in all the seasons since. We wouldn't have anticipated that by now top four would be the holy grail....

Regarding the new claret and blue kits, I think they are an abomination. What exactly was wrong with the green or the piebald?
