It's more like being happy where you are, having no mortgage, needing to do the place up a bit but your wife decides we need to move closer to her parents and take on a **** off mortgage so you can't go on holiday or buy nice things.Quote:

I get the whole nostalgia thing but it’s more than that. Maine Rd was a dogs dinner of a stadium but the atmosphere was brilliant in a way that their new ground isn’t. Same with the Emirates. There were @rsenal fans saying during the week that the ground has killed the club stone dead & that was built in the same postcode.
The Aberdeen home support is notoriously fickle. If we’re to expect attendances to go up after the move, they better be sure that what they’re building is absolutely ***n magic. Not seen any evidence of that so far
That definitely ain't a metaphor for your life, not with all the holidays you have planned.... Skiing, Caribbean cruise etc. XD For what it's worth I do enjoy a good cruise. I'm guessing the Americans could be a bit over baring on the Caribbean ones though.Quote:

A raucous support, getting behind the team can be the 12th man and the difference in a game.
Aye aye, your bro......did he sport a blonde mullet in 83 whilst there?Quote:

Aye that’s him although safe to say his mullet was replaced by a shiny cue ball a few years later ..😆😆....Quote:
