    Nations league

    Surely the worst offenders were Poland. They hardly played any friendlies, just qualifying & tournament games and they were ranked 6th in the world for the World Cup draw although they have now dropped to 7th after drawing and losing 2 friendlies. The Nations League will now ensure they play at...

    Jury service

    I had to go when I lived in Inverness but wasn't selected and was free to go after about 4 hours, it was a strange few hours. There was about 30 of us and from that they drew our names out of the hat for the jury of 15 and those 15 had to go and were told details of the case, defendant etc to...

    What important, or great goals have you missed over the years?

    Wasn't that the year that they were redeveloping Upton Park? A new stand was being built at 1 and maybe both ends and we were housed in the top level of a stand and the segregation between us and the West Ham fans was a couple of empty and maybe some netting. I was sitting very close to the Wet...

    What important, or great goals have you missed over the years?

    I have only left a game early twice and missed a goal both times. The first was against Middlesboro in 76/77 when the lads I went with got fed up of their negative offside tactics and convinced me to leave with about 10 minutes to go and Alan Green equalised with a couple of minutes to go. The...

    The worst gig you have ever been to...

    Back in the late 80s my mate sometime used to get me tickets for gigs at the NEC without asking if I was interested and I had the "pleasure" of going to see Motley Crue and Dave Lee Roth. I nearly sold the ticket for Dave Lee Roth to someone outside but my mate wasn't happy so I had to endure 2...

    The Great What If?

    Wasn't there an issue where we had Butcher on a player/manager contract and paid him for both. When he had to retire from playing after about 5 games Pointon wanted to renegotiate his contract to be just a manager which reduced his wages and Butcher wasn't happy. I am not sure of timescale and...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    I think it's a good draw. They'll be no over the top expectation from the fans of playing a big team home or away that could potentially affect our league form which after all is the most important thing. Robins will keep them grounded but he will know that we can win this especially in front of...

    Bye Bye Hughes

    I've always liked Mark Hughes and along with the likes of Sean Dyche, Eddie Howe and a couple of others always gives an honest assessment at the end of a game and will acknowledge if they have been beaten by a better team or weren't good enough unlike Mourinho and Wenger
