Darren Ferguson being brought up in the Prem thread made me remember the time his dad recalled three of the loanees he'd sent to Preston, hours after the news broke that they'd sacked his useless son When you remember a funny football thing that happened, post it in here. Maybe you're in the supermarket buying a cabbage and you remember Steve Bruce getting a cabbage thrown at him, and this world class quote: quote:“It was really heavy. When it hit the floor you felt the thud. Had it hit him on the head, or me on the head, it would have done some damage.

Actually while I'm on an 'Arry kick I remembered when Capello got sacked and Redknapp spent weeks putting out stories about how he'd always dreamed of managing England, but hadn't really given it much thought honestly. Spurs' form fell off a cliff because he was putting in even less effort than usual and just waiting for the phone to ring (after Capello's sacking in Feb they won 4 of their last 13 games) Then the FA went with Roy the Boy Hodgson (lmao) and straight away the toys came out of the pram but in that very Redknapp way, 'I would have turned the job down if they'd offered it me, I never wanted it. Look at all these texts from unnamed current England players saying they wanted me to get the job, I dont know nothing about that though. Whats a text'

Ken bates banning the BBC from Elland Road and setting up his own radio station, the highlight of which was a weekly 'ask the chairman' segment where he'd Skype in from Monaco and the presenter would ask him approved questions of the 'just what is it that makes you so successful' variety for a couple of hours They did a contest once where the prize was a ticket to the Monaco grand prix, where Ken was very clear to point out that the winner would have to pay for their own travel, accommodation and additional tickets if they wanted to bring a friend

Fondly remember Bullardmania for euro 2008 but forgot about Grant Holt's cruel omission for 2010 I think
