Howe's a bit tied up at the minute trying to get Gordon to stop laughing at the news and get back to training.

I'd be amazed if Howe isn't top of their list.

 

Howe constantly talks about how everything for him is about working with players every day and seeing where he can make improvements to their game. Which is absolutely not what the England job would offer him. 

 

However, the England job would offer him a crack at the World Cup in two years with a brilliant squad of players, so there are other temptations. There's also the complete unknown of whether the offer will ever come your way again if you knock it back once. 

 

I'm talking myself into believing he might take it if it's offered. :lol:

So Darren’s wife Dawn is the besty of the girl who used to clean for Tindle so am taking this as gospel 😆

 

Spencer is known as “Victor” as in “Meldrew” because he’s a miserable gooner cunt 😀

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that Tindle's ex-cleaner might not be that clued in on current goings-on in Eddie Howe's life. :lol:

The weirdest thing of the lot is Allardyce never having returned, despite the numerous opportunities, to his beloved Sunderland 

 

already been touted over on rtg, not only that he'd have definitely won at least one of the last 4 tournaments....

I was round Darren’s playing cards about 6 months after him and Howe turned up…. Dawn came in with the cleaner (mortal drunk :lol: she texted someone she alleged to be Tindle and we wished each other well ☺️

straight swap for howe.

When you get your air rifle, first time you load it, you have to put the barrel in your mouth, then pull the trigger. If your ears pop, it's powerful enough.

You’re about my age and will no doubt have some vague memories of reading Shoot and Match, plus the annuals at Christmas probably. Back in the early to mid-80s there was definitely still a real reverence for Matthews and his era. I even remember a feature on Wor Jackie and reading about him practicing with a tennis ball. This got me thinking about how the waning of Matthews’ fame is probably as much to do with the passing of time as anything else. But what really made me think that is the realisation that, back then, we were much closer to the 50s than we are now to those days in the 80s :lol: there’s a cheery thought for a Tuesday morning 

 

I said something very similar to a mate who was moaning about the 'young cunt' at his place who knows fuck all etc, etc. I said when we were around 17 and being divvies following NUFC the auld cunts going on about the fifties are basically us now. :lol: (same time difference).

Team sheets for Matthews testimonial. Best was only 19 at this point but it’s certainly contains some of the greatest European players of the era and in Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puskas and Yashin (possibly Gento too?)  contenders for an all time world top 20. The likes of Pele are missing but that’s obviously travel related 👍

You see shite pop up on FB, photos of the 'good old days'  Where silly cunts post saying 'When life was good' 'simple times' 

Aye simple times and good times as you were probably still living at home and just worried about what you would be earing that night to go on the sniff.

What I find absolutely crackers is his playing career started about 7 years before WW2 and he was still playing top flight football in the mid 60s. And I think he played his whole career in an era when subs weren’t permitted in competitive games. So you couldn’t carry players or have them make the odd cameo appearance

And let’s not forget his crowning achievement, cutting the ribbons at the SCS midland stores grand openings!

UEFA Team of the Tournament has been announced. The only English entry is Kyle Walker. 

Now I'm not suggesting for one moment that more than one English player should be included, but the prolific child creator being top of the pile for English talent?! Nice to see UEFA are still on crack.
