Well I was going to ration them...but I'll leave you with this one...

Which player who won a Prem league winners medal in the 21st century, had an uncle who played for Sheff U in the 70's and a father who scored in an infamous match against the club in question?

Player.....uncle.....and father and team required

handbag

is it Veron?  i recall he had a relative playing yonks ago?

Juan Sebastian Veron was the united player. Pedro Verde played for Sheffield Utd (his unvle). His dad Juan Veron played for Estudiantes and scored as they won 1-0 at old trafford.  8)

 Correct....that's a relief.

 His uncle Pedro Verde played 9 games for Sheff U.

  His pa also Juan scored for Estudiantes v ManUre in the World Club Championship final of 69.

 Now this question and answer session you have in  the Saveloy?

I heard something to do with a relative of Veron's playing for Sheff Wednesday (but was obviously United) off my dad and his mate Len, who is a right football anorak.  I wouldn't have been able to tell you his dad or uncle, so it was a stab in the dark really.

I had a marathon footy trivia discussion on Saturday night in the Greyhound as opposed to the Savoy this week.

 Last time I ws in the Greyhound....it was at the back to see Crass.

 I went with a black dude, there was a heavy racist element present who took exception to his presence and it ended in a massive brawl...we were lucky to get out in one piece.

 BTW it doesn't matter how you get them/

Sounds, erm, pleasant.  Never had a single bit of trouble in there, and its 50p pool table is a joy to behold.

 No..this was a good few years ago Crass were a left wing punk band...who used right wing imagery like swastikas in a questioning fashion..this led to an  audience composed of left and right which appealed to their anarchist tendencies.

Crass - fucking hell!

Reality Aslyum is without doubt one of the weirdest songs I've ever heard.

Erm, bollocks. Crass were a wholly anarchist band - no "tendencies" about them and to say having fascists in the audience would have "appealed" to them is just, erm, crass. The only place Crass and their ilk wanted fascists was in a shallow grave (albeit they wanted someone else to put them there as they were Cambridge/art school pacifists). The right-wing skins that did attend Crass gigs generally did so either to smash them up ("fucking commie pacifists") or because they were too thick to understand that Crass had a go at the student Trots because they hated the authoritarian Left as much as the authoritarian Right.

[Early morning edit] - you are right about the logo though, which was deliberately designed as "an amalgamation of several "icons of authority" including the Christian Cross, the swastika and the Union Flag combined with a two headed snake consuming itself (to symbolise the idea that power will eventually destroy itself)" (from the Wikipedia). ie it was supposed to be provocative in a bollocky-art-school kind of way. And, from memory, it was also designed to be easy(-ish) to produce spraypaint stencils for but disctinctive enough that their graffiti would be recognised as a part of a campaign. Kind of an early "tag".

Big A Little A is a triumph (as is Bloody Revolutions) - most of the rest of it is a demonstration of why it is important to learn a few chords after all and why atonal singing never really caught on. But the clip of Tim Eggar (and who remembers him now, except as an adjunct to Crass?) trying to justify prosecuting Sheep Farming is still one of the funniest burstings of pomposity I've heard. Sounds like a "Not the Nine O'Clock News" sketch - Jesus I'm irredeemably stuck in the eighties aren't I?

Conflict, now there was a band who couldn't play for shit but who really could start a decent ruck. And no ambiguity about their message, no art school collages, just good honest hopelessly naive anarchist politics, redeemed by a decent smattering of rioting. Stop me before I start talking about Flux of Pink Indians, someone ..... or The Ex - even then, I thought they were crap.

The battle of the oldies commences... :wink:

No battle here Blackcurrant....I'm not about to argue the epistemology of the term anarchy.....any more than I was in The Greyhound, when having to retreat  through a shower of flying tables and chairs, glasses, and flailing arms and legs.

reminds of a meteors gig i accidently stumbled into at the bell many years ago. what was it with those stupid haircuts dodgy tatoos and indiscriminate violence?

If it was anything like the meteors gigs I went to, that indiscriminate violence was probably dancing  :)

Erm, sorry about all that. The dangers of posting when pissed and nostalgic (and more than a little pedantic). You set me off, Reg - I've gone and dug out all my old LPs this morning and am now busy wondering how the f**k I'm going to play vinyl through the MP3 player on my mobile!

THIS THREAD IS FOR SLAGGING OFF DAVE!!

Don't be a cock all your life, sunshine.

whits is on the prowl ready to banish you to the valleys, be careful
