Is it true that Danny Blanchflower was the creator in chief.

Tottenham become the first English winners of a European trophy when they destroyed Atl?tico Madrid by five goals to one in Rotterdam to lift the European Cup Winners Cup, with White scoring one of the five goals himself


This team obviously had no problem scoring goals.

I have never seen a goalkeeper win a reputation so quickly as Joe Hart.


Goalkeeping is a position where you should win your reputation as being dependable for long term consistency, over a number of seasons. Joe Hart cannot be considered a top goalkeeper until judged over a couple of seasons.


Good as he seems to be, Joe Hart is goalkeeping in an era where the ball is moving more than it ever did before, and he could well be heading for a fall.


What will Man City do then? I guess Shay Given knows he could well be back in the mix at some point.

Blue/MM, Having had the good fortune to see Joe Hart last season, I have no doubt he is going to be a great keeper. At the start of last season, he had raw technique and a tendency to flap at crosses. As he developed an understanding with the (stable) defence in front of him, his reading of the game improved. Also, his technical ability came on leaps and bounds last year, which he puts down to the coaching of Dave Watson. He has the unshakeable attitude and confidence of youth (check his save from Lampard on Boxing Day last year - sure it's out there on YouTube - and his reaction to Frankie boy). Undoubtedly he is still learning, but cannot see him heading for a fall. Yesterday's error seem to be from a lack of understanding with his defence, which he should develop over the next few games. Also, seems like a good guy off the pitch - hope he stays like that.

Still feeling smug Anna? Mid-table mediocrity becokons. ;-)

Regarding yesterdays match, I was pleased I got to the pub late, and missed most of the first half, as it was shite. Good thing the keeper was in form, but to be fair, Birminham don't lose at home very often, so there is no shame in a draw.


Didn't think I'd ever enjoy "Fergie time", but it happened this weekend.

The point about Hart was not related to Saturday's mistake, which I had not seen, but more a general point that a goalkeeper's reputation should be based on a reasonable period of time.


Hart is still "potentially" a top goalkeeper for me. Lots still to do.


Reina is right up there - he's been top drawer for a number of seasons. As have Given and Cech.


Hart is likely to suffer a dent to his reputation sometime soon as we are in an era where the ball moves like it did not do in the past. Its almost inevitable. Its how he reacts then that will determine his long term future. Robinson took a long time to come back from the cock up for England, as have Green and Carson.


Hart has the ability no doubt, but the test of mental strength is still ahead of him.


Anyone remember Jim Leighton?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
