Ken 'Legend' Bates? Can't fault a single decision he's made in the last 12 months, helped contribute to my third happiest day in football
RE: Ken 'Legend' Bates? Something tells me that he'll have the last laugh though, hes a wiry old fox without a doubt.... And me thinks hes got all things going his way.... (chinny) ....maybe??.
The wheels will come off They've been fortunate to have the run they've been on, not impressed many people with performances, last minute goals, bad refereeing. When there luck runs out and injuries and suspensions creep in, mid table mediocrity looms
Orient denied winner! Ball clearly over line when Ankergren clawed it back in a Carroll-stylee. No justice!
RE: The wheels will come off (When there luck runs out and injuries and suspensions creep in, mid table mediocrity looms).... Yep i guess they'll be only team to suffer them stastitics over the season.... Be a near miracle though if they do happen to achieve promotion though, i guess you'd agree with that.... (dunno) ....
Not really They have been allowed to sign some good quality players... and I don't remember any club who have just come out of admin who have been allowed to do that. You have got to admit Stevie that the whole business with Bates and Leeds stinks like a month old kipper.
RE: Not really Think the fact they only got a 12 point deduction stinks, especially as they tried to play the media off against the football league as if they'd been hard done by when they blatantly broke the rules and could have got a heavier punishment like Boston! Stevie - I know other teams will suffer injuries and suspensions but not every team has to go and sign 2 strikers everytime another two are suspended or injuried. There first XI is good enough for promotion, after that there's nothing to stop them losing 4 or 5 in a row and dropping back to relegation
I thought it was 15 points? It's obvious Bates is using his old "contacts" to do everything he can to bend the rules, it's a pure scam.
Correct you are Not sure where I got 12 from, think it was from asking a Leeds fan at the England Germany game if the weather really was minus 12 back home
RE: Either way Frank knew what lifes all about....These maybe could apply to Ken.... That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down 'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' around I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life), I tell you I can't deny it I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race That's life (that's life), that's life and I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die Kenny boy, will he be singing .... (chinny) ....
Can't Beat A Bit Of Ol Blue Eyes Yesterday on Jo Whiley on Radio 1, the changing track that got played was My Way. Couldn't believe they were playing it on a "modern" station in full (Y) (Y) (Y)
