Useless fact of the day - Teddy Sheringham is 11 days older than me

In London we had the Evening News on a Saturday, it had a match report up to about half time, then in the stop press on the back it had the final score.

It sure does!!  Try explaining it to a teenager today, wonder what Darlo will make it when he appears!!

 lol PB I was always amazed by the time we got home from a match The Pink was in my local newsagents! it was never 100% correct of course! I've heard in other parts of the country it was printed in different colours..I'm sure some heathen region had The Yellow...

Portsmouth have confirmed Avram Grant has returned to the club as director of football.

Some good news for Pompey after getting their first points of the season, are things looking up?.

lol he wouldn't believe us...

He's  really looked after himself fitness wise,

The Argus used to give the full match report and was delivered to the paper shops about 6 pm, I used to have to go and fetch it and always had a read of it on the way home!! It was part of the Birmingham Post and Mail group and was an tradition round here.  Sadly due to internet, etc it is no longer printed, but I have the very last issue that was printed.

I think he's had a few female fitness assistants

Aaaaah,the pink Sports Argos,how did they get it out so quickly?!!!

He's certainly fitter than I am!!  I had so much teasing when he celebrated his 40th and had that special shirt with Sheringham 40 on!!  My hubby asked if I wanted a Baggie shirt with Titch 40 on as well!!

Got Galaxy on and listened to Cheryl Cole's first solo single, what a bunch of rubbish is what I think.

Might be going to watch FC United Of Manchester soon, mate of mine is a fan... bet its full of die-hard rags who hate M Glazer

Make that Argus

Bringing fond memories back Maggie??

The teenager has arrived, while we are being nostalgic.

 Hi Darlo

Totally agree about that single, total pants!

"fingers in ears Smiley"   Hiya Darlo.

 pmsl c'mon guys..it's just because he rarely broke out of a trot...we called him 'lightning' when he was at Old Trafford  ...but yeah lol..he has looked after himself..and was a classy player indeed.

The shop round here closed at 6,they used to leave the Argus outside and trast you yo put the money in a box

Maggie

during my days of away games, by the time I got back to New Street it was always available, queues a mile long  to grab it to read on the journey south.

Correction there is two teens here

Hi Darlo, we are being nostalgic, doubt if you remember the Argus do you, or was it the Sporting Star (the pink)

He had to at WHL.... but then again he was young then.

Ours was an Asian newsagent so open all hours, but always had a queue for the Argus on a Saturday night and the owner would be trying to read his at the same time as he was a Baggies fan as well!!

Hi Mr Pie - yup it is, I took my nephew to a FC United match at Gigg Lane, it's still a good experience, what ever the level...prepare to get neck ache...

Let's not remember how old he is or the last time England won the world cup as it will make me feel old!!

1966 England won the World Cup, I always tease my mom as she didn't know that.

pmsl you were one of the World Cup baby-boom babies then PB 

I was 3 months old Perones, think my dad must have been looking forward to the footy season in 1965!!

Might have something planned for Friday with my dad, got to find out first then i'll spill all here.

Ooooh tell us Darlo!!!

lol Hi Darlo  our team hasn't click yet..not since a trip to a certain North London club eh...we need nani, anderson, carrick to step upto the plate and stop relying on scholes and giggs eh....Carricks obviously not impressed Fergie this season has he - after having such a good season last season.

pmsl

Not clicked yet this year was always going to be a test with Ronaldo going it has made us weaker in a sense but still a talented team, I bet Fergie has sorted them out good and proper this week and gave some much needed wake up calls. I wouldn't be surprised to see him with a touchline ban for those comments either.

it annoys me this - did you see the whole press-conference? the press clearly didnt - it was only a small part of his comments, the rest he was blamed the result on our own players - but of course that doesn't make a news story does it I think fergies perfectly entitled to comment on whether the ref was fit enough to keep up with the game..all these conspiricy theories are a load of cods-wallop in my opinion - as if fergies plots these comments  he's no angel..but he is no where near as bad as he is made out to be.

Right, I'm off to write a couple of blogs based on this afternoons conversation and finish tea, see you all soon xx

see ya PB a blog eh? I havent got head round them yet..as i understand it, it is a kind of public diary or something..? :-/

 we thought the game only lasted 20 minutes, should of realised it was Man U and it's lasts 98 minutes  . Still it's good to see Berbatov's bursting the net these days.

They'll  lock us in the nut house if you quote us.
