Good old fashioned game, great atmosphere plus a break in.

 

Wolves’ yellow shirts don’t look like old gold, though.

Been devalued, now only 14 caret gold. Probably Brexit's fault

Who would ever have guessed it would turn out this way?

I am shocked!  

Also shocked that Birmingham didnt learn a thing from the Zola fiasco.

I thought that at the time, but the ball in that photo looks in to me. 

It looks like its on its way back in. I'd be interested in a still frame just before this that may show how wide the arc was. millimetres maybe, but the Lino should have seen. 

Merry Christmas lots of pressies and points for anyone playing in blue

Would Leeds ever finish a match with more than five or six on the park?

Yes, "Dirty Leeds"  

First of a hat-trick of trophies.... hopefully.

Vialli, Hollins, now Venables. Three gentlemen of football taken this year.  

Has to be DJ and McCoist for me.

Australia are in the Eurovision 

I must admit i haven't watched it for 20 years or so, they never used to be?

Would it be anti-semitic of me to say that Israel should not be in EUFA as they are not in Europe?

I have wondered about their inclusion in the Eurovision, not that i watch it, but then again i wonder the same about the UK.

Perhaps Man City and Chelsea have better accountants than Everton. Or creative accountants. Both of them do sell a lot of players which may reflect in their annual figures whereas Everton don’t seem to. 
EPL clubs are allowed losses of up to £105m over a 3 year period I believe. Everton was £125m hence the points deduction 

Yes a financial accountant who is close to the matter on Chelsea said exactly that. The sales are huge over the last 3 seasons and although they do not match the sums spent, when you add the commercial side, they very nearly do, within the FFP £105m loss over 3 years rule. There are some historical issues that have already been settled with UEFA as they have a 3 year claim or clear rule, so it would just be with the EPL and the new Chelsea owners have been up front about these, whereas Everton apparently gave faleshoods and were caught out  (according to the news not me Compo) City however have 115 counts and are lawyering up, so who knows what will happen. I think Everton's reduction should be 6 points.

The equalizer probably saved the bookies a few big payouts from punters who would have had an outside single on Luton to win. Surely that would have been minimum 8/1. 

 

Good win for Forest.

 

A weekend where Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa and Brighton didnt win which tightens things up, so its over to Spurs tonight to stretch the gap.  

They stretched something, but it wasn't the gap. 

And just for 24 hours i will go back to my original profile pic of DJ circa 1983!!

Happy 70th !

Aahh even if that happens I'd back them to stay up - the promoted teams this season are desperate.

Not forgetting Chelsea in that category!!

I remember that being said about Leicester 

Yes but Spurs looked like they could pip Leicester that season until Eden Hazard stopped them with 2 goals at the Bridge

Interesting, that tells us that Spurs and Liverpool will have a drop off at some point. Lets wait and see.

Well Spurs will, there is no doubt. Not sure about the Mickey Mousers though.

Best, Law, Charlton. I wonder what their combined cost would be in today's market?

I think i heard a pundit yesterday saying that Bobby was only ever in awe of one other player, and that was Duncan Edwards.

Hazard's retired then...

 

Genius technically and probably with Messi the last great dribbler of a ball who didn't use 'skill moves' so to speak.

 

I think he's said himself that he used to hit the burger van after a game so its no shock that he's retired at 32 and peaked at 28 odd, World Class player with a Sunday League diet by all accounts.

 

I'd put him on a par with Gazza minus the madness - genius that could've/should've done more. Both carried a gut but had brilliant close control.

Totally, and thing is, he always played, was rarely injured despite being the most fouled player season after season. 

Would have loved him in my old Sunday team

As of this moment Neil Warnock is available. And he's often spoke about wanting to manage in Scotland. Just saying...

Bit young and wet behind the ears, why not go the whole way and appoint Roy Hodgson?

Are you saying that because of our league or we couldn't afford him? 

Prob because he has just taken another job.
