It's because he missed the date by 101 years, it was in 1415. Basically a very small English army was caught between a massive French force, but the English dug in and held their position by using the longbow and by the muddy ground slowing the advances of the French cavalry on horseback.

Blues-Man. City tomorrow. First home game of the season. They'd better bloody win or it'll be doom and gloom for the rest of the year.

True.. getting confused with the battle of Crecy 1346 (another pasting for the frogs against all the odds).

Field of crows a.k.a. field of blackbirds. Serbs v. Turks was the battle I was refering to adidasss.

Franscar; I hope you slaughter City tomorrow

In order to do that we'd have to score some goals, and I dunno, I can't see where they're coming from after Fulham. We were awful. Plus we're on the telly as well, and we always play **** when we're on the telly.
