As a lad my school was supposed to be having a fight against the local secondary modern every other week, and yet I can never recall one actually happening.
Mate of mine has a theory that the amount of feeble 'you're gonna get banged up you are' posturing is inversely proportional to actual likelihood of something actually kicking off.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

It was once explained to me (by somebody who knows about this stuff) like this
Posturing top lad 'Well, I'm gonna rip your head off and pull your guts out up your neck'.
Dangerous hard man: 'I'll break your arm'.
The former - completely undeliverable. The latter - completely doable.

While I agree it tends to stand true, I remember being outside a club with a friend once in London and a lad threatened to knock him out. His response was along the lines of ‘if you were going to do that I don’t think you would’ve warned me’. Next thing he’s on his arse.

"The former - completely undeliverable"
For you perhaps.
Facters is more used to his guts coming out of his bottom at random moments.

You think it was dull football that led to the steady emptying over several seasons of Block R in the Co-Op Pioneer Stand?

It was true, but I think it is changing over time also. It reminds me of a lucky/underserved escape I had from the school hardman 25 years.
I had obviously mouthed off at him once too often so he grabbed me by the throat in front of a large crowd and lifted me clean off the ground. It was a bit of a stick or twist moment, so (remarkably and perhaps unwisely) I said to him something along the lines of "well done, what are you going to do now? Are you going to strangle me, or just put me down and fk off?"
I think he was just so surprised and confused he went with the latter option. These days his equivalent would probably just stab me. I would have deserved it too.

He should have doubled down and given you a long, steamy, lingering kiss.

Are you trying to tempt Grimboy out to play?
There's no breaking into the Grimboy/Benters/Pickles threesome. Believe me, I've tried.
That's why I had to throw my lot in with Footers and wkj (God rest his soul).

I can vouch for that.
An afternoon spent in the Bobby Robson suite enjoying a Portman Pie and a few pre-match pints led to an evening of farting the potency of which ended up waking Mrs Uefa from her peaceful slumber!

Chantry vs Stoke was a regular after school fixture when I was a kid. I remember them coming over at lunch time when I was a first year and it kicking off by the ice van that used to sit outside the gates.
One year I seem to recall a team up against St. Josephs.
Don't really recall conflict with other schools.
I think by virtue of being a regular away can I knew enough kids from all over town to get by without trouble. Though one night a couple of friends and I got ambushed near Bobbit's Lane... But it turned out to be a "Raiding party" from our school, so as the slowest runner I found out quite quickly as they caught me, one friend turned back to help, the other was a county standard runner... He was gone!

Were you Stoke or Chantry? Some of the Stoke expeditions into Chantry and Stone Lodge youth club were great fun.

If you were being held in the air by the throat are you sure he could make out your garbled utterings......maybe he put you down because you sounded posessed?
