On what occasion did Hughes and Ince physically confront supporters?, I can't recall any, though I seem to remember Liverpool's Jamie Carragher getting sent off, a police warning and ?40k fine from his club for throwing a coin back into the crowd at Arsenal...didn't that 'thug' Ince once play and captain Liverpool, or was that before your time as well?...

Mark Hughes got to grips with a Swindon Town fan who was in the front row of the stand. Eric Cantona did his cowardly kung-fu impression on a guy at Crystal Palace. As for Ince he also charged into the crowd at Selhurst Park.


Yes Jamie Carragher was also a muppet throwing a coin into the crowd at Highbury, just like Drogba recently, it is totally unacceptable.

Eric Cantona's kick was stupid, but not sure I'd use the word cowardly. If never should have risen to it, but as he walked off the guy he kicked was leaning right over the barrier giving him proper verbal! Much as I love football, footballers in general are a simple breed, and a lot of them are complete knobs, who just happen to be very good at a game.

Has anyone been watching the "Time of Our Lives" series on Sky Sports? Each week Jeff Sterling has 3 players belonging to a clubs golden era around the coffee table and they reminisce from back in the day. If you like anecdotes, such as Jack Charlton's black book, Tony Adams making Ray Parlour into a drinker, then set your Sky+ to 10pm every Monday night!


The one tonight was the 1970 Everton Championship winning team, and they were saying Shankly's back garden used to back onto Everton's training ground (which is where I guess the famous line from Shankly came of he'd drawn his curtains if Everton were playing at the bottom of his garden :) They said each Sunday (on Everton's day off), Shankly would take his dog for a walk around the Everton training ground so his dog could have a piss ;-)


Next week they have Nottingham Forest from their European Cup era.

A great night at the Emirates and wonderful to see Eduardo back on form - hope he can replace Adebayor in future! All the way now to the semis with our home ties - fingers crossed!

What can you say about Eduardo? Wonderful performance after nearly a year out following a horrendous injury. You've got to love his positive approach and hunger for the game, as well as giving credit to the backroom staff who helped on his road to recovery. It's almost like signing a new player.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
