a few of us are taking our boots...... :devil: :}

I dont know why. but maybe its the monotony of the present predicament. I read that to mean Das Boot...... Up periscope.

Dianna Rigg when she was in The Avengers.

Missiles of October
The Cuban Missile crisis in 1962. Kruschev Puts 1sy strike Nuclear weapons on Cuban soil for 1st strike capability right under the noses of the Americans. Yet deny they have done so. Wierd how photographs showed exactly what was there yet the Soviets denied the existence of them. Kennedy Blockades the area and there is a showdown. This could have made a good stage play. mixed with archive footage. and starred William Devane as JFK and Martin Sheen as his Brother Bobby.

As the podcast started puns. I will liven up this thread cos its like a morgue in ere at the moment, one wonders where all the exiles are.
will we be having any special efetes for the match.
are any of our wide players able to pass the duchy on the left-hand side .
Are we gonna score any ghouls.
am waiting for our striker to ghost in and hit em where it hurts.

p.s. tomogull: Whitby Town are at home today in the 1st qualifying round of the FA Trophy (versus Marine). Our recent cup history is worse than United's.

Your a sucker for punishment ain't ya Wivell. and ive seen ya disagree wiv Brucie even if you didn't realise it.
I was once told it was his name, but I've only ever referred to him as Brucie. personally, i would call him Lurch. he usually is so negative about the team I can just imagine him going oooouuuuuurrrggghhhhhhh.

noo i'm very comfortable in it thanks. its specially made for me. in yellow. It's got a TUFC badge on it.
and thanks for the birthday wishes Brucie. even if a bit early. just hope i dont kick the bucket beforehand. ..ow, flippen bucket, oo put it there!

this is one match where I want to agree with Wivell. even if he is a knock-kneed knackered old Nosebag,, lol.
You dont agree with Brucie much now haha

an Interesting Statistic. looking over the form for the last 5 games ours is equal to Woking and Dagenham, and better than Aldershot. (what a shame we played them where we did.)
compared to the Bottom sides. we are also equal to Chester and Fydle. and way better than orient who will drop into a relegation space inside the month of November if they don't pick up sharply. If we can get another point or even 3 against Hartlepool we will be well and truly on the up.
The confidence will be boosted hugely if we do well against Hartlepool. Success begets success as they say. and a win I think will start to build a winning mentality which will see us rise fairly rapidly up. Lose and I think it will take probably until Christmas to really build up steam. But from reports so far we seem to be doing ok.
In fact, it's entirely possible that it could be us that puts Orient into a relegation position. as it comes right on my Birfday. I'm planning on coming down for that so I would appreciate a win as a nice pressy lads. we can do this. I've nothing against Orient Personally, but then I would just like to see the Facebook trumps who told us that orient were coming and they were going to walk the league. Yeah Right!!! they haven't won a league game since September 2nd.
for some reason I thought Orient was a good target to aim for when i saw their form dip. and watched it continue to dip. 15 point from the first 24. then 2 points from the last 27 have seen them slide from 2nd to 19th. this form is even worse than ours was. and now we are flying compared to them. if we can keep up the momentum we could see Utd ahead of Orient and Hartlepool. Eastleigh, Gateshead.and possibly one or two others. I think it hangs on Saturday's results.
Hartlepool, by comparison, had an awful start to the season and only picked up 2 points out of 18. then fortunes turned around and 10 out of twelve points made things look a little better and pulled them out of the relegation spots. But their fortunes have taken a turn again and their last 8 league games have seen them only pick up 10 points. My intuition says this is an odds-on banker for a score draw. or Possibly yet another defeat. as they have only the two wins and both of those were against Solihull Moors and Barrow. both of whom are doing badly themselves. This is eminently winnable if we can build on the confidence-building performances of the last four games.

Don't know about a used car lot. but I do remember the old disabilty cars or plastic chariots behind the goal line in years past. only carried one person and always blue to remind you of the colour of Bathrooms in the 70's. i reckon my mobilty scooter was faster.

just as an aside. whats happened to John Paul Pittman?
It was his birthday today.

Well they had to have something to complain about.

Gloomy Gull wrote: ↑24 Oct 2017, 21:18 A 10 - nil win on Sat could see us out of the bottom 4 !!

no it wouldn't. if we won we would then have 14 points. Chester already have 15. so another week yet

yeeaahh. that was so satisfying. onward and upward. and Jamie Reid scores again.
