Jah, if you read this and don't know, there is a documentary about Jimmy Greaves on BT Sport tonight I believe.

Whatever happened to that nice August Walker?

Thanks Alan. My boyhood idol. What a player he was. The greatest goalscorer I've ever seen and I've seen a few. Did you watch it? Marvellous stuff.

[Alan Medic]

Haven't watched it yet Jah. Have recorded it though.

I've recorded it too, so I can watch it again and again and again. I think you'll enjoy it enormously. I know I did.

Anyone feeling nostalgic for football back in the day, ITV hub has lots of episodes of The Big Match (revisited). Lots of stuff from the 1970's. I wonder what football fans from more recent era's would make of it?

[malumbu]

One for the Mancs and Scousers

"We're 3-0 down!"

"It's alright they're bringing on Bale"

"Sorted!"

[diable rouge]

Didn't Spurs go on a long run of not winning a game every time Bale played, when he first signed for them?...

[????]

Irons

[diable rouge]

Any coincidence that Hammers perform much better without their fans?

Meanwhile, another piece falls into place of Gerrard becoming Liverpool manager, Low quitting Germany job after the Euros...

[diable rouge]

Don't be put off by the Twitter link, this is rather good, Premier League managers as characters in a prime time TV crime drama...https://twitter.com/d4nf0x/status/1374077449475088387

[Alan Medic]

I made up a really bad joke.

Why are West Ham fans superspreaders of covid?

'Cause they're forever blowing their bubbles.

[maxxi]

WTF are we gonna do when Lingard leaves? We'll never be able to afford him now!

COYI

[Sephiroth]

I'm finding the West Ham season to be one of the few bright spots of last 12 months - good on 'em

You can have Messi Lingard plus ?30m in return for Declan Rice...:)

Yep, good to see the top 4 shaken up a bit, especially if it will be at the expense of a certain team at the other end of the East Lancs Road...

Since malumbu has started a closed shop thread about a closed shop European Super League, I'll vent my spleen here.

MONEY. GRABBING. FUCKERS...

[diable rouge]

Whatever happens, Spurs will always be Spursy.

A week before their first domestic final in 6 years, Spurs 'qualify' for the European Super League and then promptly sack their manager...

[malumbu]

Do come and join the other thread DR, I was never expecting it to stick to cases for the ESL. Looking at some of the debate on this thread maybe shows why ESR is the logical conclusion. If football was the 'true working class' game as it perhaps was 60 years ago then most of the discussion would be about Palace and Millwall. Just take a look at kids training on the Rye on a Saturday and most will not be wearing local colours. And perhaps you have said as I have, just pee off to the ESL big 4 (now big 6); perhaps they heard me.

Even when I was growing up there was so much bias towards the 'big' clubs - not counting Chels and Man City in those days.

[maxxi]

It's selfish and only motivated by those whose idea of fans are those paying to watch on tv in the large markets outside of Europe. If anything, the detestable fan 'muzak' played over games at empty stadia during the pandemic has probably convinced the yanks they don't need real ones at the grounds anymore.

It's just for those who want to help themselves to an 'open goal'-

[maxxi]

like this 8000

[Alan Medic]

Tut tut maxxi. That's an own goal.

Laddy Muck

Strafer Jack

Otta

Huguenot

David Carnell

Katie 1997

with places held in reserve for;

Ted Max

Atticus

Jeremy
