I'm surprised the media hasn't already started to undermine Philippe Clement. He's had a 5 month honeymoon but it won't last and it's only a matter of time before he gets a target painted on his back. Hopefully he knows this is inevitable and is ready to see it for what it is.

The media fawned over Dick Advocaat until they discovered that he wasn’t going to fawn over them and possibly worse, was going to be very successful.

My Dad rates the 1962 side as best ever, the 1st side I remember was from 1974. 

 

Read alot about the 1970 and know they are highly rated! 

I think your dad could be right.

Best ever Brazil team?

Could be. Better than the 1962 side? Maybe.

Third of the thirties Ms, Meiklejohn, Morton and Bob McPhail, referred to by McCoist as “Mr McPhail”.  McPhail’s book is worth a look.

David Meiklejohn, another of the great captains.

Thats all good news. More so on Sterling. How Beale didnt even play him is beyond me

On the occasions when Beale did pick Sterling, I don’t remember much praise for him here.

Shave the beard and that’s Bobby Shearer.

The truly great R. C. Hamilton, Elgin City, Queens Park, Rangers and Scotland, a couple of small clubs then ending his football career on a high back at the City.

Captain of the cricket club, businessman, educationalist and Lord Provost of Elgin.

Relegation of Everton is not necessary for the scouse greetin’.

City v Arsenal apart, all three should win every one of these games. A City victory over Arsenal or even a draw and the title goes to Anfield.
 

On the other hand, things don’t usually work out the way you think they will. If they did, bookies would be paupers.

Not a duffer among them. Every one of them a walk in to the team today.

Mighty Don Kitchenbrand. The ball must go into the net, the ‘keeper as well if need be and the centre half too, just to make sure.

Thoroughbreds now by a nose.

A Citeh win means the season is over.  

For Liverpool, I hope but not for the Gunners, thoroughbreds coming up on the rails.

He did indeed but the Gunners go top.

A draw at Anfield tomorrow and they’ll stay there.

Two great fullbacks, Bobby Cox and Bobby Shearer followed by two great ‘keepers Bert Slater and Billy Ritchie.

I don’t know the chap in the demob suit at the end of the line but from him, Waddell, Gillick, Thornton, Cox, Duncanson, Caskie, Woodburn, McColl, Young, Brown, Shaw (trying to hide so as not to be seen holding a bunch of flowers) and Mr Struth.

Prefer high waisted shorts to necks and arms covered in drawings, holey socks and love heart goal celebrations, any day of the week.  

Well said. I think that entitles you to a seat in the Chamber of Old Fogeys.

This great force of nature was in awe of the distance John Greig could hoof a rugby ball.

Formidable exponent of the art of goal scoring, Uwe Seeler Hamburg SV and FDR

The last of the Iron Curtain, golden boy, Bobby Brown.

Jock Shaw has already featured in his older days. Here he is again, a callow youth with some of his wee pals, Thornton, Young, Cox, McColl, Rae and Woodburn.
