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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
