Well done Wigan, now go down and disappear for all that crap whelan gave the Hammers about Tevez,


I have seen Best, Moore, Charlton, Maradonna and Platini live, which ain't a bad fivesome. I even saw the first three in the same match.


My favourite player ever tho is, for a host of reasons, Alan Devonshire.

Escape to Victory - what a movie. Supposedly Kevin Beattie accepted an arm wresting challenge from Sly Stallone, beat him right and left arm, and Stallone never spoke to him again. There was also a rumour that John Wark's lines were dubbed by a Hungarian extra because his accent was easier to understand.

Not as delighted as every leaden-footed, muscular, centre forward/half/back looking for a club...


ETA: please let the rumours that BFS is looking at Crouch as a Carroll replacement be just rumours.

This.


Couldn't give a toss about Mancini, he'll be fine, and his pockets will be well lined. I just hate the way football is now.


I have an extra copy of this (having received 2 when I ordered it for a Man City fan as a secret santa prsent)

which I'm told is a very very good read about how football is these days. I plan to read it after I've finished the 2 books I'm currently on.

I agree with City - I think achieveable targets shoud be included in footballing contracts. Otherwise they massivly underperform, and get paid massive compensation eg Eriksson's contract extension for England - there is little or no accountibility but there should be.

      Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
