Henderson tries a pirouette turn type thing and does his knee

Skipper

have I just seen a blatant pen for man city turned down by el Deaniho?

Fuckin hell....

Took your advice, Lindos is booked

Norwegian John Carver strikes again 1 each with relegated Huddersfield means top four us now impossible for Manu

Portugal kicked him & Brazil out of the tournament in 66. Beating Eusebio in the semis was England’s best result, technically the final was a draw.

Fucker liked a nutmeg didn’t he? Cheers for posting that, not seen anything like it before. Thing about Pele is you’ve got to be over 60 to remember him at the 1970 World Cup. His first was 1958. That’s why he gets few vouches now for 🐐 because that generation are less likely to pour their thoughts out online. I don’t think our generation(s) can truly appreciate the effect of the Mexico 70 World Cup being the first one televised in colour to Europe. Those yellow shirts mesmerised the public, my old man always said that. But as we can see, he was utterly brilliant too 👍

@Monkeys Fist When was the mural painted? Is it still there?

Shearer 422 in total including internationals. We’ll probably not see anyone like Messi & Ronaldo again...

Liverpool should’ve scored three before Barca’s second. Outrageous how good you’ve got to be at this level nowadays.

After the decision to charge this individual for bloody Sunday I asked my ex squaddy mate what he thought, hed served in NI in the 80s. Two things makes it blatantly unfair he reckons: 1. "letters of comfort" to ex IRA men guaranteeing immunity from prosecution for terrorist offences that no one has been tried for. 2. The rules of engagement for British troops weren't fit for purpose, they weren't allowed to shoot armed terrorists unless the terrorist was actually pointing the weapon at them. This caused huge resentment apparently. Now, at the risk of causing a TT diplomatic incident by opening this particular can of worms, what would you say to these points?...

Terrible times at Gateshead..... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gateshead-boss-clark-handed-notice-16205410

😀

Ajax keeper has just totalled 2 Spurs players at once Him from Dawson’s Creelk opened the scoring.... HUP HUP AJAX!

Anyone been to Rhodes? The current Mrs PL has become so emboldened that she’s just booked the last week in June off without even asking permission Two destinations from the local aerodrome on Sat 22nd; Antalya (NO! ) which leaves the south Aegean... Were DEFINITELY too old for Falaraki, wondering if there’s anywhere anyone would recommend?... no kids, slightly lively etc etc...

Give it a rest Dave, it’s not the fuckin Somme is it?

Well no, the main thread is who sits on the iron throne? That’ll be down to a punch up between Cersei & the iron born v Dragon tits Snow and a dragon or two....

How do you know that Andrew? Also is it valerian steel or one of those ice jobbies? The current Mrs PL wishes to know these things

A week after Billy McNeil, Steve Chalmers who scored the winner v Milan to win the European Cup for Celtic in 1967 dies at 83. Plainly one of life's good guys .....

With Almiron & maybe Perez out there’s little chance of a home win. We might nick a stuffy point if Liverpools front 3 have an off day. I personally don’t care who wins the league.

Spoiler: I was born in England, the Scotland thing is from my old man. I like supporting England too, just not so much Argentina is the first World Cup I remember. I fuckin loved that side as a nipper Two of them went on to manage us, with err “mixed” results. Revie was basically a crook, Greenwood an FA yes man. Both should’ve pissed qualification. Aye it’s pathetic like. Some Scots are only defined by their ridiculous hatred of their neighbours. I’ll not be wearing my new shirt for much apart from gardening, I’d never wear it down the pub etc.

Care to explain why, in what is widely considered to be part of English football’s golden age, they not only failed to qualify for Argentina 78 but also West Germany 74?

In the words of the fabled Andy Cameron in his seminal 1978 hymn to the wonders of the Scottish nation “Ally’s Tartan Army”: Wer’re playin for oor country We’ve got tae do or die England cannae dae it Coz they didnae qualify
