I was visiting friends who are Huddersfield Town supporters this weekend and went to the match. The performance of the home team was superb and could have won by an even larger margin than 2-1. Ignore Match of the Day analysis!
However the highlight for me was at half time when Town were 2-0 up. I was walking along the concourse by the bars etc when a woman said to her mate "this is better than going to Hartlepool and getting a good spanking" .....i couldn't believe my ears and introduced myself. Seems like Pools are a bit of a bogie team for them.

What was also helpful is they play in blue and white stripes so it feels like watching Pools.Also they were formed in 1908......spooky!

Was she talking about football, though?

Obviously not, why else would he introduce himself?

Ha, Ha! I hadn't realized they allowed that sort of thing inside the ground at Huddersfield!

I know people who pay good money for that sort of thing.

Yes MPs have a preference for it i understand and a few who are on this board too???

The last time we played Huddersfield was 6-3-2012 in Division 1. We lost 1-0. 5 years later we are in the Conference playing Sutton Utd and they are beating Man Utd 2-1.

There but for fortune eh?

All Pools needed was a 24,000 capacity ground and a chairman who trousered £350 million for his business and that could have been us.

Yes exactly why not...........knock down the shopping centre and civic and build it there financed by a Ramsdens and Wonga loans.

Proper sliding doors moment for us there.

Grrr if it wasn’t for that pesky VAT that’s the promised land Uncle Ken was taking us to

Small margins isn't it?

I blame the council and financial fair play.

And long diagonal balls.

I blame that oldham game.

A mere butterfly flap in the grand scheme of things...

Is a butterfly flap a special sort of spanking? I can't keep up with the pervy terminology nowadays.

I'll show you via PM

I thought it was the new post-Brexit genital measurement of minisculicity, to replace the continental "midgie's dick".

As in, "Borthwick had an empty net, but he sliced it and it went over by a butterly flap".

If I had known I would have called this post subject "spanking" as it's the only word in the post anyone is interested in.......

Do you get spanking in the post. I'll have to keep an eye on the postman.
