Did you watch the video RD? there were some fantastic goals that WERE recorded. I was surprised at how many quality goals there were, albeit over a long career.

He was two footed RD. I remember one goal against Leicester City (not in the edit) in 1968 where he left four players on their arse and rounded a young Peter Shilton that was as good if not better than the ones in the edit. Oh and he got a hat-trick that day too. His third of the season. Scored four in a cup-tie four days later too where the headline in the paper the next day that I remember clearly was Four Goals Can't Equal One Cap. There was a big push to get him back in the England team ("Jimmy For England") but Ramsey wasn't having it despite the fact he'd again finished as top scorer in the country with 36 goals that season.

The Telegraph had an article today looking back to a frozen Maine Road of 9 December 1967 when Man City beat Spurs 4-1. It was a performance that led City to believe they could win the league after 30 odd years. Ballet on ice.


And I just checked today's result....

I could of course once my older brother explained how league tables worked. It was goal average in those days Mick so a lot of maths was involved. There was a classic league cup semi-final over two legs with City that year I think. City won I know. Anyway my name is Alan here. I'm old.

Indeed - lots of Shearer-like "where's the sack Sam brigade now?" fishermen around as usual.


Cresswell and Jenkinson going really well (surely Wenger must be regretting the loan?) along with Sakho and Valencia - I would even go so far as to suggest CC has been transformed a tad by being in a glut of strikers rather than just being a Carroll replacement - never seen him with so much energy and enthusiasm.


When Carroll recovers (sigh) sell and use cash to buy some back-ups or try him in actual game?


And okay, last 2 games WERE only QPR and Burnley - still nice to look down on gooners, spurs, Liverpool etc..

I considered it a bad move to sack him for a long time. Perhaps Shearer is me-like as I haven't heard his opinion on the subject. It's you WH fans on here who should be eating a bit of pie/cake.


Did anyone see the picture of Steve Bruce taken on the tube yesterday after the game? Trying to catch a train to Manchester to get to BFS's party.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
