A poignant thing about the footage is seeing Les Sealey in the prime of his youth. He was easy to both love and hate, but mostly I loved the guy. I think he was a West Ham fan, and after the first leg game said he was gutted to have conceded a goal to 'Bonzo'.

I would have done, but we were all a bit jammed in! One of the nostalgic things about that TV footage is how much more fun it was on a crowded terrace, at least if you were young and it wasn't overcrowded to dangerous levels like it was at Hillsborough.

I agree, and I think the idea that he couldn’t last a full game was exaggerated / imagined anyway by certain people. Even in previous games, OK he drifted out of them at times, but I don’t think it’s a fitness or desire issue. It’s just incredibly hard for flair players to keep impressing across...

Yeah the home game was incredible, and I was in the West End too, immediately behind the goal. Losing the 2nd leg at the death was the worst I've ever felt at a game. Had to travel across London with loads of Hammers fans on the tube afterwards, with my City scarf well buried under my coat 😬

It was awful really

What's that in the foreground?

Don't think so

Rugby never ceases to amaze me. The Worcester Warriors name is disappearing but they are hijacking the Stourbridge club and “rebranding” them as Sixways Rugby to groundshare with Wasps at Worcester! Wasps may just be a concept that can go anywhere, but surely Stourbridge must be a local rugby...

They presented it in terms of CCFC needing to own a stadium as a reliable source of additional income / profit to help fund the football. Neither the Arena nor the pretended new stadium were ever likely to do that, and the transparent agenda was that they wanted to pick up real estate for next...

Looks like the original 1960's Sky Blue to me. It was much later that it became brighter. Edit: not sure a 0% lager on the front would be very Cov though

He hasn't got two feet touching the ground, so it's a foul throw! Edit: the point being that in chucking it like that you are effectively striding rather than standing, and the ball will go half as far again. The ball has long gone before his trailing leg comes to the ground. How many other...

No wide attacking threat at all, except when Vik pulls out to the wing. We play three at the back and defence-minded wing backs. Hope we get better options there in the summer.

Illegally launching the ball into the 6 yard box like that all season is going to be a huge unfair advantage to West Brom if the officials keep allowing it.

I doubt if you can throw the ball that far anyway if you apply the rules properly. Both feet are supposed to be on the ground, and his technique needs to be examined and called out by the authorities IMO. Why isn't the linesman watching him?

Might that have been the game when Brian Borrows (briefly and bizarrely pushed forward into midfield if I recall correctly) got injured, thus missing the Cup Final?

tbf it says 'The role can be very different in different clubs'. If this change is confirmed, it will be interesting to see how it's intended to work.

If these changes are to shield Robins from some stuff and make his life easier in managing the football team and recruiting players, that's good. If it's undermining him in any way, I'd be very concerned.

I’ve been a fan of Vik from the start, even during the loan spell because despite the occasional clumsiness you could see he was physically so much stronger and more athletic than any striker we’d had for a very long time. He’s improving all the time I think, but the weaknesses are still there...

Yes please shmmeee. What are my duties, can I work from home, and when do I start? Presumably I get paid holidays?

True, but they are still getting pissed on every week.
