(yes, I meant that) Completely unrelated but I was listening to Witness by Roots Manuva earlier and changed the chorus to "Witness the fitness, the Cruyff turn liveth, Johan Neeskens" for absolutely no reason, as it just popped in my head. And people say I chat bollox on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Just a plug for the best football book I’ve ever read “Brilliant Orange” by David Winner. It’s the highlights of the history of Dutch football. It’s incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He co-wrote Bergkamps book as well which is really worth reading. Also, this might be of interest. I've pre ordered one. https://www.waterstones.com/book/beautiful-bridesmaids-dressed-in-oranje/gary-thacker//9781785318467 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read Cruyff's autobiography, which is as brilliant as he is ingenious, but my god he just wanted to row with everyone all the time.

Keith Houchen Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I once wrote something about how Cruyff taught me how to drive on a motorway and David Winner said it was “Very Good!” That’s my Shakin Stevens quote on the book sleeve!

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted April 22, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 22, 2021 Does that book correctly state that Dennis Bergkamp is the best Dutch footballer of all time? 33 minutes ago, Keith Houchen said: I once wrote something about how Cruyff taught me how to drive on a motorway and David Winner said it was “Very Good!” That’s my Shakin Stevens quote on the book sleeve!

It's probably not true, but why let truth get in the way of a good story... Anyway. As of next season, North London and Wrexham will combine once again into the general thread. Unfortunately, West ham fans are fucked. They're banned from the all new. Edited April 22, 2021 by PowerButchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eesh. death to the mega thread It's almost as if Wrexham have had a surreal and interesting season that Netflix are making documentaries after being bought by two A listers after 20 years of uncertainty after several poor owners, several of us driving miles away to confront the owner to get him to sell, a local owner who it turns out was asset stripping the club, and into administration, the fans raising 100k in a day to stop a winding up order and the fans buying the club and them all kicking off and so on But fuck me, West Ham are pushing for a Europa League place so downvote soapdish is here with a hard on and he wants to talk football. I make no bones about being excited about Wrexham at the moment as I've lived and breathed them since 1991. And anyone who loves their team would do the same. You wouldnt know though, because most of your posts have been in here digging at Spurs rather than celebritating your own team. I stand with North London.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 22, 2021 @PowerButchithe problem is, I actually think what’s happened with Wrexham is interesting and celebrated (though don’t get it twisted, the Netflix documentary is part of the package of them buying the club). And you should be excited. But dictating who and what can post when you’ve posted almost double what anyone else has I don’t find endearing. Just because I don’t talk about every game West Ham doesn’t mean I’m a fair weather fan. I remember being excited about Moyes, and annoyed he was axed so early, and then predicted when we got in the tree man we’d be reaching Europe 😂. But yes, in this thread, for Arsenal and Spurs fans, I have posted about Spurs. When we played against each other, and another the Super League because it’s hilarious and for some strange reason Spurs fans to West Ham fans are like Tories to flags. Can’t get enough of them, pretend it’s not weird to be so obsessed with them. But if banning West Ham fans from a football thread because you’ve got an issue with me is what you want to do, so be it.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 22, 2021 Author Moderators Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I haven't got an issue with you, you're not that important. And I don't give a toss what you find endearing or notAnd ironically enough it's you that brought Wrexham chat in here . (NB: don't tell me about Netflix being a condition of buying the club, as a former part owner of Wrexham I can tell you unequivocally that's untrue as I had a vote and saw the full fucking thing), so you sullied the North London stronghold. Especially after coming in this thread essentially being an arsehole to the spurs fans a couple of months back. Anyway. This conversation ends here. Back to Charlie George and Jimmy Greaves.
