Everything were better back then. Oh hang on, no it wasn't.


I do feel gutted that I never experienced those cup final days, but the game has evolved and the fans have basically encouraged that and helped it on it's way. You reap what you sow.


Money is king, Europe is money should that's the priority for the top clubs. Im pretty sure any player in a team placed lower than the middle of the prem woukd still feel just as excited abiut a trip to Wembley as ever, and you could argue that javing the semis there gives this experience to more players.

I'm sorry Otta, mostly you are correct but the FA cup was better then, its not misty-eyed sentimentalism, it's a fact.


The season was over, this was THE showcase game, the build up, the cache and Ringos, I'd watch this over any money laden Euro knobfest anytime.


But you are right, money, money, money.

'bout now, I don't doubt it at all, and it ahoukd definitely come after the league finishes.


However, part of the reason it was probably such a big deal was because there wasn't a kot of football live on telly, and there was nothing else to watch. These days kids would rather play video games or watch other stuff which wasn't available in the 70s.

5 best players seen live:


Cruyff, Best, Ronaldo (the fat Brazilian one), Platini, John Wark.


Unfortunately I saw Cruyff in his last season playing at Barcelona and Best for Fulham, Ronaldo looking very uninterested for Inter, and tbh I don't remember Platini.


John Wark though.....what a player.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣

      Move to SE22, school recommendation?

      By Angelina · Posted

      You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.

      Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback
