Rip off is a bit strong!
Yes, they were clearly influenced by The Jam and while many Jam songs similarly touched on suburban town themes as WLADITT did, Going Underground itself was primarily a political dig at Thatcher.
If you want to be equally pedantic of course you could lazily argue that...
I will be very surprised if Woolfenden comes straight into the team. I would imagine (and hope) that Saka will come in for BTA. Left back is the big unknown. I haven't seen any reports on Dasilva's injury, so I guess he might yet be available. If he isn't fit I'm not sure if Lampard will go for...
Yes, he was a bit of a star in the 98 World Cup. At the time he was synonymous with a bit of trickery when facing 2 markers he put the ball between his 2 feet and bunnyhopped with the ball past his markers. My description doesn't do it justice, but it will probably be on Youtube somewhere :)
They probably got the wrong end of the stick. West Ham fans hate him and it would be a 360 degree turnaround for them to suddenly want him back. If you've been posting on here for any length of time you will know that football fans changing their opinions once made is very rare.
That's helped pass half an hour :)
Some educated guesses but here goes:
Q1. Name 5 players who have played for City and scored at a FIFA World Cup finals - Moldovan/ Hadji/ Strachan/ McAllister/ Keane
Q2. Name the cup semi finals City competed in during the 1980s - 81 League Cup/ 87 FA Cup/ 88...
It probably depends how old you are. We were in the top flight in the first 28 years of my supporting the club so Villa were generally viewed by our fans as our closest rivals. This was partly exacerbated by our failure to beat them for so long and losing important players to them (Mortimer/...
He would be nuts going there, given the mutual hatred between him and their fans these last 20 years. They would crucify him the moment they hit a bad spell, and their board would end up sacking him as a result.
I remember problems in the early days when their customer service was poor. Sorry you've had so many problems with it, and of course your complaints about being blocked in such circumstances are not OTT. You've plainly lost patience but I can't help thinking there is probably a simple solution...
Feel like I'm the exception. I don't seem to have any problems these days. Saying it is worse than ever seems a bit OTT when thinking back to those early days of a single camera, no replays or commentary etc. I imagine most of the problems mentioned are connected to your choice of browser or...
Completely wrong. They were predicted to bring 1,500 when there was talk of a boycott, but then they went on a winning run and bought about 4,500 come the game.
