Well done Andy Cook. Delighted and thrilled for the lad. Just brilliant. His two goals overcome a really resilient Grimsby, who looked like they would take the game to penalties.

Womble song in its original Latin Sub terra superque Wombliundi Wimbledoniae Wombli ad sumus campi Frustis relictis utimur nos Homines malos sectamur istos Underground and over it, it's a bantam thing
Dear old Roger Milford didn't have a hair out of place when he failed to expel Gazza in the 1991 cup final. If only he'd had VAR, it would have saved him, Paul and England some inconvenience. It did save Lazio about £2m on his fee.
And his now trademark dink onto the box thst got us promoted
Crikey, that was a right game. Could have gone either way but a rather benevolent goalie helped us to 3 points. That's 8 games unbeaten since the start of the campaign.
This exchange Vasily Stalin: Medic! [Zhukov punches him in the stomach] Zhukov: Not today! You're a f**king stain on that uniform! Jason Isaacs plays him in a Yorkshire accent, brilliant.
And honesty too.
You've been haddocked. WELL DONE MARINERS. I'm pleased Clarke didn't miss twice! Sacking performance, you'd have thought.
Charles Vernam was always a big match player.
Thank you for posting on here. Our front three were great, but just to think our midfield was Metcalfe and Leigh last night. We might talk of the second string of Stoke, but there we didn't have Sarcevic, Pointon, Power, or Humphrys. Even so, we were too good. We even scored a goal from a set play.

3 nil at the Britannnia and in the pens at Hillsborough😏😏😏
Well that will do very nicely indeed Pecking with vigour!!!!!
And Farage would shut the BBC down. Maybe that's the point.
Well said. Pimpernel Smith (1941), First of the Few (1942) and the plane carrying him from neutral Portugal back to London was shot down in 1943.
Yes they are.
Your eldest has now reach the optimum age
Thank you gor posting.
Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

I long for the days when this lady told us how lovely her Shackleton's High Seat was. Her niece got it for her, you know.. Then we got back to 'Aye, 'appen. Tea's in t' pot' on Emmerdale Farm. Simpler times.
Ah yes we went to Bow River at the start of my Rocky Mountaineer holiday. It was where Robert Mitchum and Marilyn filmed River of No Return, wasn't it? They stayed at the famous Banff Springs Hotel whilst filming. I didn't manage to get my photo in the exact position of this still from the movie.
I think I've just been there or near there last month. Is it Lake Maligne? As beautiful a place as I've ever visited.
And Coventry City were until Jimmy Hill's day the Bantams. This list from about 1959 as Gateshead is in the list & the Posh aren't.
You have to hand it to the manager. Playing as was once said of a famous game, like firemen attending the wrong fire in the first half against the best team in the league. We turn it around 180 degrees in the second. Extraordinary.
Tough as an English cricket fan to applaud Johnson but 👏👏👏👏 Spot on, mate.
I bet you stored that tweet after we'd scraped a draw in the Barrow home game last year when I said Graham Alexander hadn't really improved things at Valley Parade. Since then we've won 15 out of 17 home games.
What a good start for those of us with a claret and amber persuasion. Hatters swept aside by #bantams
York in fine fettle for today's #roses clash against Lancashire
Has David Attenborough been talking bollocks for six decades? Apparently so, according to these simpletons.
Make me feel good, Kiddio
Generally speaking if we win or draw our home games and avoid defeat in our away ones, we'll be all right. Luton, Stockport & Peterborough in our next three. 4 points from those 3 would be an excellent outcome.
A sheepdog in disguise in my bit of West Yorkshire. Well, there are #bantams everywhere.
Well this freaky youtu.be/-agHZuB59N0?...
We've really made the most of the games at the outgrounds. A really terrific performance this one. Well done to Dom and the team.

Here's the North Bay in our Scarborough on the North Sea Coast in North Yorkshire, England. A rather lovely sky this evening and we're proud of our castnle in this part of the world.
Lined up in a row. Some canal dwellers waiting for the water bus on the Leeds Liverpool canal this morning
I thought of him too. He scored Italy's goal in the 1970 WC final and also opened the scoring in the famous 4-3 SF game against West Germany. Just like last night it looked like Italy had won the game but Karl Heinz Schnellinger equalised in the last minute. Back then tho it was Italy who won in ET

I'll bough to your judgement on this one
Now in Vancouver on my 🇨🇦 holiday & indeed on Canada Day. Sone pretty cool buildings. The Orca, the Olympic Cauldron, the twisty Vancouver House and also family some Geese sauntered across our path in Stanley Park.
Michelle, I've just spent Canada Day in Vancouver at the end of my holiday from the UK. The Digital Orca seemed chuffed about it. The Canada Place area was a sea of red this evening.
Now in Vancouver on the final leg of my #Canada tour. Som early morning harbour front shots on #canadaday.
Now in Jasper, where we see this bronze sculpture of an eagle on a sphere with words from six Indigenous languages. It's the focal point of the Jasper Indigenous Exhibit. Close by in the centre of the town, and here being enjoyed by a young visitor, is the mythical Two Brothers Totem Pole.
Second day of my trip to Canada. On the left, a breathtaking view of the Rockies from our gondola as it took us to the top of Sulphur mountain. Banff is the town we see with the Rover Bow. On the right, the justly named Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park.
The famous Banff Springs Hotel where Marilyn Monroe & Roneet Mitchum stayed during their filming of the River of No Return in 1953. I got a similar view yesterday at Bow Falls, Banff National Park.
I'm on my way to 🇨🇦. Just abandoned my case on a conveyor belt which 'disappeared' my luggage like an ICE agent might a gardener in Los Angeles. There was no human intervention in the procedure except my own. There's a remote possibility we might be reconciled in Calgary.
I'm still hopeful for the Puffins who've now, I think, won 4 out of their last 5 after a slow start
The little chap going to market has got himself stuck in a poke perhaps.
Indeed and going in at 7 too. England chose Neil Mallender for the Pakistan match at Leeds in 1992 & he played only once more, in the 5th test at the Oval that summer. Mallender's selection was possibly the last time such a 'Headingley' pick worked. He got a 5 for, briefly outshining Waqar & Wasim.
Binney's match. England would also lose to the Kiwis that summer. A few months later, England had recovered and was beating the Australians away. Losing Gooch, but there were several notable additions to this team: Small, Defreitas, Broad Senior and Botham & Gower back in favour/form. So hope yet
My grab below shows when the sub was made, after an hour when it was still 1-1. However unlucky Graham Taylor was with England, this was a peculiar decision. After two 0-0s, we had to score another in a tight group. Had Lineker scored it, he would have been England's highest scorer with Sir Bobby.
3 wins & 9 defeats in 14 matches. Bottom of both leagues we're competing in.
Looking forward to JJ Cale welcoming the new day in, Danny.
Found this article eearching on Google in the Guyana Chronicle. Alvin was a super player and also of course notable for his place in the south Asian diaspora in Caribbean cricket
Late night version. Nice. 😊
It's unfair of course but at that tournament, the Lampard Gerrard debate was that one scored goals whilst the other gave them away. Frank's opener for England should have been doubled earlier in the second half had Sir David not made a pig's ear of his penalty
Blimey, we're back to the days of Capello. Wretched performance.
Very good, you'll need to increase the size of your template.
Just brilliant, guys. Well done!
Well said. Proves that there's always a chance if you don't give in. The Wolves had the game won, didn't they? But this was like a golfer chipping in from the bunker, when the other chap is within three feet.
That's one win and seven defeats in 10 games this season. This silly Yorkshire Grit stuff is wearing rather thin. I wonder what Ottis, dumped by the club after last season's promotion, makes of it all. Next up Leicester & Shan Masood. The Foxes have won 8 of their 11 games so far.
First of a million kisses. Fairground Attraction.
The Toffees won the league by the end of March and by the modern equivalent of 19 points in a 42 game season. The league ended super early due to World Cup in Mexico beginning on 31st March. The Chelsea Leeds Cup Final took place on 11th April.
My grandfather was a wool sorter in one of those Heaton mills. If the ornate building in the middle background depicts our City of Culture's Town Hall, it might put us a little further forward than the 1860s. The mill complex in the foreground could be Lister's, att (1873) the largest in the North.
You beat me to it, Thomas. Saltaire was started a couple of miles to the left of this view (if this is from the top of Heaton) five years later in 1851.

You'd expect better than 0 for 67 from your star o/s signing. A ragged fielding display really, but crucially the Steelbacks kept wickets in hand allowing them to score 126 in the last 50 balls. As astonishing a display of hitting as I've seen live. Well done for making a game of it from 9 for 3.
Well, I'm travelling to Canada next month, Cheryl.
I just didn't know this.
Although Brian Cant (don't put an apostrophe or anything else in, spellcheck) has passed now, Toni Arthur (now 84) & Carol Chell (83) are also still with us. That sinister doll, Hamble, was exorcised in the 80s.
Our Head of State was planning to visit the White House for trade discussions, however we have been informed the “White House” will only discuss trade with our white animals. Our biracial Penguin leader will be allowed, but will be publicly lectured on racism instead. We will wait 4 years to visit.
They should refuse to let either of these teams into the Champions League
Just to confirm, Cheryl's post here doesn't imply that there will be 50 new electric buses taking us to the Piece Hall
This is the best George Wendt joke on cheers by an absolute mile, and its so well done www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FNH...
What's up,Norm? Ny nipples,it's freezing out there! 😔
Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.
Mrs Swan is finding 6 quite a handful on the Leeds Liverpool Canal in Bingley. Mr Swan rather leaving her to it.
For those of us of a #bcafc persuasion amd others oc, this podcast from the excellent Tales of the Battlefield series includes a special commemoration of Jimmy Speirs and his song. 1911 hero Jimmy died at Dochy Farm, 3rd Battle of Ypres in 1917 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
Indeed. Threepenny bit predecimal.
Credit to Essex first. They fought fantastically well. We didn't give ourselves enough time...on Day 3. An extra 10 overs of fast bowling then, and we seemed to use the spinners to improve the o/r, would've won it. 500 has only ever been achieved in the 4th innings in the CC three times, ever.
The Saddlers are in the saddle.
Keighley is producing some fine cricketers
Thank you for posting.
So good. Vera Lynn becoming Tris Prior.

Hello claret & amber blue sky.
It's in! Look at the time. 50 seconds of the season left. Well done City!!! Well done Graham and the team #bcafc
It is the last day. The last time we clinched promotion in the final game of the season at Valley Parade was in 1929 when Sam Barkas's second half effort made it 3-1 on our last match against South Shields. It was our 128th goal of that historic season.
Burton Albion were in dire straits when Gary Bowyer took over and tonight the Brewers have reached safety by drawing against Wigan. He was the first of our managers who fell foul of the pitchforks after we were relegated.
Smallwood Redemption
Better that as many as possible of our Celtic brethen are inside the tent, Brian.
Yed, hopeless as my original guess on here below was overall (phew), for City it was accurate for each game. apart from the first 3, when I had us getting 7pts. I have us winning Sat! It's our away record. A good run getting 11 pts in the 6 games from Barrow to Salford, but only 12 in the other 17.
