I got dragged to see the live version of 'Allo 'Allo once. Worst night of my life, trying to force a smile for two hours when I was dying inside.
I bet the rest of the audience found it hilarious.

Rennais! What are you doing holding that girl in your arms?

You stupid woman.....
Actually lol'ed out loud.
eh.?

Allo Allo innit.

I’m more disappointed someone couldn’t have titled the thread as a tribute to The Four Tops. Opportunity missed.

Rennais walk away in shame after Archer 4 tops a great Villa win.

I did like that stupid policeman in Allo Allo. He was the best one in it.

Good Moaning. People who leave the motch early are all wonkers.

I liked the little fella in a shit disguise who I dont think ever said anything other than ‘It is I, LeClerc’

How on earth did it manage to go on for so long, it really was hideously bad.

I never liked her in Wurzel Gummidge.

Definitely start with Risso's selection and see how it goes. I would like to see how it works against a reasonable opposition.

I guess the other option would be 3 at the back [lights fuse, steps back]

Now see, your first sentence was great, and if you'd left it at that you'd have cemented your place as one of the up and coming members to look out for. But no, you had to go and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory didn't you?

Was very clever the way they did that

Stick all four Johnny Frenchmen on together at the start.

Yes. Let's make this precious.

It was really corny but I really liked it. It had the same sort of am-dram production as Dad's Army and like Dad's Army the occasional comedy gold nugget thrown in. Vicki Michelle in her black stockings and stilettos might have something to do with my fond memories of the show.

I see SR have a player with the surname Tait. I'm starting to feel ill-disposed toward them.

Should be a good test, they finished fourth last season.

Can’t say I know too many of their players though? Guirassy up front, the defender Traore and then Steve Mandanda plays their now but can’t see any well known players.

Rennes have just sold a 17 year old striker to Bayern Munich for best part of £30m because they needed the cash. He's thought of as one of the best prospects around.
