Can't entirely blame him, at his peak he was some player. Niggly, but skilful, and certainly good at his job. He'd be worth a few bob in today's game.

Kind of a pity, I wonder if it's a drinking/bravado thing. I'm sure I've heard him on the radio before and he's come across quite well (in a "professional northerner" sort of way). Ho hum, he's at least been man enough to apologise, which he deserves some credit for...

What are you actually grumbling about mate? Can you write in actual sentences, because it's really hard to understand what you're on about. You might have a point, but it's rather lost in your incoherence I'm afraid to say. Save the emojis for the eight year olds, and make your point - if...

This thread's worth it just for the HH centre-parting. :) And I'd agree, I've always had a good time in Liverpool, (and Newcastle, and Bristol, Sheffield, etc etc.). Personal opinion: Take people as you find them, make a few jokes at your own and your own team's expense, and you tend to...

I'm not quite with you. Are you upset that Speedie (whom I loved as a player, still do), is challenged on a pretty daft statement? That doesn't upset me, it reassures me. This sort of claptrap, much like racism, deserves to be called out. If it isn't challenged it just keeps going and then even...

Sounds like hell. 🙂

I'd get a tenner on it mate, though I think in 1987 that was about my week's wages. 🙂

At least they'll be able to stay warm by wrapping themselves in flags...

Ah, this did make me laugh. I'm also relieved that it wasn't something that I'd just made up! Cheers mate, hope you and your cousin (edit, not brother, sorry!) are both well, pity he went to the dark side, but then you had the last laugh in 87. :)

I hate diving, so I've got no problem with this, as long as it's applied to every single player that dives. And if it's going be applied retrospectively, let's start going through Fulham's and everybody else's videos from last week, and dig out all of their diving too. In fact, let's start...

He's better as a keeper, mate... "Christ Saves!" "But Keegan gets the rebound!" Am I the only one who remembers the seventies? :)

That's absolutely fair enough, but if our total energy imports are more than a third of what we use, then I think we could justifiably be regarded as 'heavily reliant' on them. That's the point I was trying to clarify... There's no argument from me about the need to increase renewable energy...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but the stats I've read put our dependency on energy imports at around 35%... https://www.statista.com/statistics/267591/dependency-on-energy-imports-in-the-united-kingdom/ Are you using a different source, perhaps?

I never met his dad, but I don't know many people who'd try to punch Aggie. I can imagine his father was probably cut from similarly 'direct' cloth. I think the biggest disturbance I've seen at the BPA was when a drunken eejit rugby tackled the mascot. That and some outrageous tutting when the...

Sorry mate, but where's the evidence for this? I did a bit of digging, but other than a Welsh BTP officer complaining about their rugby fans, there was nothing to back up this 'fact'. I found an old newspaper article about arrests at Twickenham, 50 in five years. How many arrestable offences...

In the old days club owners were in it for a bit of personal glory and sometimes because they held the team in genuine affection. Now most owners are in it for 'sportwashing' or profit (or maybe even money laundering I often wonder). I remain to be convinced that our owners are ultimately...

That is brilliant. Fair play to the lad too, because even when they're coasting the pros go faster than I could sprint!

He'll fit in well with the clickbait crowd, no doubt. I seem to vaguely remember he was quite funny on his football program, but a bit less so when on his political rants... still, if it keeps Grendel happy then there are worse things I guess... :)

Got to be happy with that, great comeback. Loads of positives in that performance. Big George would've been happy with a centre half who takes no prisoners winning the game for us.

Christ, even Boris had to listen to the scientists eventually. This is getting like flat earthers. There's a absolute ton of evidence that masks suppress transmission, a ton of it. Google it for yourself. If you don't want to wear a mask for some other reason, that's your choice, but let's...
