Yes those old pitches were brutal. So were the tackles that flew in. The skilful players in that era had to be hard men as well. I watched the Big Match a few weeks ago on ITV4. They showed a game at Highbury from 1977. One of the things that struck me was that Peter Shilton wasn't wearing gloves and it was a freezing cold day. The other thing was that a couple of the coaches on the bench were smoking fags. There was a time when fag smoking on the bench was a pre-requisite of a coach, certainly the east european variety. The king of smoking was Cesar Luis Menotti the world cup winning Argentina coach. He chain smoked through every game.

I don't remember no thrashing Mick, maybe you are comparing a 2-0 win over an English team as the equivalent of beating a top Scottish team 10-0..


Thoroughly deserved win for Bayern tonight, great atmosphere, great comeback. Will be very tough 2nd leg as these Germans are no pushovers like that Italian lot they played in last round. But the highlight of the night was the shell shocked Ferguson showing the first signs of age as he admitted he had no idea whether Rooney had injured his left ankle or his right ankle.

Errr, that transcript has been edited SP..


This is the actual interview on Sky after the match, go to 1m 10s for when he is corrected. No big deal really just surprised he started mumbling, 'not sure, not sure' - as he is usually quite defiant and on the ball in these situations: -

Utterly disgraceful performance from Rangers last night. Hopefully it is the kick up the back side some of the players need as they've looked out of sorts the last few games. Although we can't grumble too much at having only lost 2 league games all season.


Uncle Walter will be fine... he's not got a contract, so won't get sacked!!!
