.... I'd love to see what you say about people when you are attacking them then!!

There was a bunch of boozy blokes at the front giving the Hull players some abuse, and Sutcliffe started giving it back. The kids that were stood in that area probably went home having learned some new words.

Although you can't condone such stuff, Sutcliffe needs to be bigger than that. He's a top level player at a big club, having moved from an even bigger club where he won trophies. If he's going to let a few boozy fans get to him and affect his game, he'll not get far at Hull.

Thanks, this was my guess. Certainly seemed that Sutcliffe, through his hand gesture, was putting forward a thesis that his interlocutor indulged in a little self-love.

Well worth the seven-year wait since my last home game. Was nervous beforehand just in case I jinxed it, but after that splendid first half, I was able to relax.

Hopefully it won't be another seven years before my next appearance back at the HJ.

Great Scott! Did someone send a DeLorean back to 2015 for all these long absent board members?

Blimey we can expect SEB, The All New Chester Wire and Getdownmonkeyman at any moment.

I thought since I managed to get to the HJ, I may as well follow that up by bringing myself back into the RLFANS fold. It's been a while!

I long for the day Dropkick Murphy makes his reappearance.

I wonder what happened to the original Wire2004 from the old WolfWeb forum? Remember those days? You could post a reply using your 36k DialUp Modem and check back 3 days later to see if it appeared on the board…

i feel like i'm a terrible person, he still posts on here as well

Talking of Wolfweb, anyone remember Flabby Merlot? I went to school with him.....

I can’t really remember specific posts, I just remember the poor fella getting a bit of a bashing for some left-field opinions



That was the old days though, and it was all a bit of terrace banter.

These days that could easily be the name of an overpriced Wine Bar in post-gentrification Stockton Heath. The sort of place the 2023 wire squad may meet for a Latte-Macchiato, as opposed to Cullen’s 2003 team talks over many pints at the London Bridge.

I drank regularly in the London Bridge at the time and the presence of Wire players in there is largely overstated. I did have a good chat with Darren Burns in there once but he is a legend whose reputation should not be besmirched.

however, summer of 99/00, post match in the village bar and the mul....

almost the same on here.

have a look at that link, its like stuff off the fb groups now

I've tried but I'm an awkward Apple user (for about 15 years) and I apparently need Java to view the old stuff. All I managed to get access to was some of the old news such as this. Sort of gives you an idea of how far we've come:

Was that Getdownmonkeyman's debut?

Not sure. It got me thinking though how there should be a bit on poster’s profile where they have to declare what their username means and why they chose it

There have been some interesting ones over the years.

Surely the mystery and wondering what the username means is better than the inevitable disappointment if you were to find out?

I once owned a DMC-12.

I suspect that wasn't too practical for your work on the taxis?

I just looked up how much it would cost to purchase a second hand DMC12 and I was surprised to find it's not really that much. A fair condition one seems to set you back about £50k. I don't know why but I just assumed they'd go for way more than that since there weren't that many built.

You must be kicking yourself now though, I bet you wish you'd kept hold of it.
