Don't know if this is true but...


Recommended Posts

Slightly off topic but Bill Shankly ordered 'This is Anfield' to be emblazoned above the tunnel. We should do the same with 'We Are the People.' It's psychological - a motivator.

 

Was he not also the one who changed the Liverpool kit to all red, for the impact it would have on the opposition?

 

Never underestimate the psychological aspect.

Oh Catherine!

 

Remember, you sing, "we don't care what the animals say".

 

Thus, why does it annoy you so? Of course, not forgetting your personal proclamation on Twitter, 'a Philotherian'. You are an animal lover who doesn't care what the animals say!

 

Do you think that she talks to the animals, or is it more likely that she grunts, squeaks, and squawks to the animals?

I think Shankly said that the all red kit made his players look bigger, to demoralising effect on the opposition.

Some stories are too good to check out. Like Peter Mandelson, being keen to show off his working class roots, went into a chip shop, pointed to mushy peas and asked 'for some of that avocado!'

 

That story about WS was actually reported in the Glasgow Herald, Diary column, if memory serves. It was seen as a humorous anecdote.

Nowadays, he would probably be charged with some heinous sectarian crime, his remarks being construed as offensive both to Turks, and to our thin skinned friends from the slophouses of the Gallowgate.

 

The Mandelson story I heard was that it was in a chip shop in his constituency of Hartlepool, and that he pointed at the mushy peas and asked for guacamole (which is, substantially, avocado of course).

I reckon it is true, whatever he asked for.

With allowances for the google translation, the first paragraph is quite humorous....

 

A box of surprises, Glasgow. The drivers guide to the right, the pedestrians look first to the left, the tongue is imperceptible (this is not English or anything), the weather is rainy and there is still the question of the three-tooth adapter to fit the main electrical socket . Mind the gap , go. The first exchange of ideas comes at the hotel, where the receptionist praises the Euro-2016 backpack: "It's only worth this blue, Rangers color." We do not even call. A minute and a half later, already in the street, a taxi driver (of the Celtic, we suspect) refuses to us kindly a race for Ibrox, house of Rangers. We are worth the second cab, whose driver is from Arsenal.
