Commo 1,292 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Oh dear, a result that was unfortunately on the cards? It's a good job that poor old Sean has gone and that Alex McLeish has stepped in to steer The Reds in the right direction. It was probably a planned defeat so that Alex can now concentrate on promotion without the distraction of a Cup run! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah , right !....... Just about your nearest club ain't it ??..................LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Unfortunately I don't think Notts will be troubled by a cup run either having been unceremoniously dumped out of the competition whilst being completely outplayed by a League 2 side! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Could have been worse, we could have had millions spent on our team and in securing the services of a 'top name' manager. .............................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 'I told 'em Oldham'; I remember this catchy little slogan: it was used to advertise tyres back in the late 50's. I recall a school bus trip at the time the slogan was popular, passing through Oldham and feeling disappointed with the place; it didn't match up to the magic of these 4 little words, especially as at the time the slogan was tripping off everyone's tongue.

StephenFord 866 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think Oldham was always a dump - it even had a railway station called "Mumps" - imagine if Nottingham Victoria had been called Nottingham Chicken Pox! But wasn't the "I told 'em Oldham" slogan for batteries? Not sure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yes, "I told 'em Oldham" was an advertising slogan for car batteries 50's & 60's 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The original phrase was in in an ad for Oldham batteries: - "I should've told 'em Oldham".Morecombe and Wise apparently later shortened it to: - "I told 'em Oldham" in one of their skits and used it regularly thereafter.

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Glad you read a post for once. Pooh , nice one. Lee Hughes has left Notts. (I told you I thought there was something up at Meadow lane !!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Lee Hughes already 'left' Notts recently Beefy, don't know if you knew? It fell through for some reason. It originated in an argument about not getting picked I believe. He wants regular games at this late stage of his career apparently which he not getting at Meadow Lane.

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yes he was supposed to go to Port Vale but Notts wanted a fee for him, PV couldn't agree on a figure so it all went out the window. That was when i first brought up the subject of there possibly being "Trouble at the mill" (Or rather Meadow Lane) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't see Notts regularly so can't really comment but even with his legs now slightly gone he always seems to be in and around the scorers when given a chance. I wonder if Curle is making a bit of a mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 A BIT OF A MISTAKE!!!! He's dropped an almighty bo****k, Stu, in my opinion. The strikers we have at the mo are just not scoring and good enough!! The slide down the table testifies to that..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Okay I stand corrected: the saying was probably used to advertise car batteries but I know that at the same time the advert was being shown on the TV, we kids at school were milking it to death in the playground - before any comedians on TV.

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyway as we were saying ...... I don't claim to understand it at all but, I'm pretty sure there's more to the story than is meeting the eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Did you try to copy the 'northern accent' also, can recall going through a phase of dong accents at school........................my Welsh always sounding vaguely paskistani.............still does.................
