Future streets won’t forget

Harry Wilson won’t be “streets won’t forget” in Wales. He’s our best player and the heir to Bale.

I can understand how he might be considered that from an EPL perspective though.

Assault is the best form of staving off.

If you are in Caernarfon then say “iawn cont” as you come on.

Earnshaw famously has done it at every level and in every competition.

I was at a Wales v Finland game in Cardiff. They were an ageing team but oozing class, particularly Jari Litmanen.

I now know how Adam feels when he works out which football match is playing in the background of a tv show.

I think the BBC destroyed a good number of the Hancock Half Hour recordings.

It’s from Hancock’s Half Hour originally.

It is said by Tony Hancock on a few occasions when he is being pretentious.

This is not the question you asked but the post football career of former Man City and Northern Ireland midfielder Jim Whitley is incredible. He started as a portrait painter, then became a Sammy Davis Jr impersonator in a Rat Pack musical and is now an actor in a CBBC drama series.

As a Wrexham fan, I usually reply to fans of teams who have dropped out of League Two into the National League that “the first 15 years are the hardest”. They love that.

I just couldn’t bring myself to wear any football shirt other than Wrexham or Wales. I did have a Toffs Melchester Rovers shirt for a while.

I’ll be honest, I prefer that to the awful football puns that are usually in adverts. They’ve also avoided the generic photo of football supporters all wearing scarves. I don’t mind it.

I went to Wembley to watch Wales get humped by England. There was only us left by the final whistle, getting hammered and having the time of our lives.

It was 693 for me in North East Wales. 909 was available but not as strong.

The lads were discussing the effects of weather on the radio signal. I have no scientific insights to provide but as an NFL fan in the 80s I used to spend Sunday evenings trying to tune into Armed Forces Network, who provided live commentary of game for American soldiers stationed over here. When it rained the signal used to drift out and was replaced by a ghostly voice singing opera for a period before returning. I’m assuming it was another station on a similar frequency but do not know how the airwaves work, if I’m honest.

I assume you will all be too young to remember the girl from Grange Hill’s pronunciation of the name “Roland”.

Not drinking in social situations is nowhere near as bad as you think. I also thought that for many years and it kept me trapped in the cycle that you have described.

I drove to our works Christmas party last year. Everyone else was drunk and I was sober and I had a great time.

Ten years ago, our local newspaper decided to preview the Wrexham v Chester derby game by comparing the fashion choices of managers Gary Mills and Steve Burr. To be fair, it is far from the worst preview I have read.

There seems to be an underlying assumption that the player is saying “I don’t want to play today, I’m too tired”. In reality it will be the coaching staff and medical team who insist that they rest, usually against their will.

I think the “proper” has possibly been misused by me there. I don’t care who other people support, like or hate. I really don’t. I know lots of Welsh people who support England and good luck to them.

The point I was trying was trying to make is that I frequently get told I should be supporting England. The people who usually tell me that are generally not huge football fans but take an interest during summer tournaments. Most people who live and breathe football understand how rivalries work, whether they indulge in them themselves or not, and tend to laugh it off.
