    Give me a second while I google him.

    Was that the game where Aaron Hughes made his debut? And aye, I think Holland just 'clicked' at the last World Cup but I'm not particularly convinced it had a lot to do with him. I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to point out that @@ChezGiven sometimes doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

    Used to love Diego Tristan in that La Coruna side

    Don't think it was a massive achievement either fwiw. Certainly don't rate the bloke as an all-time great or anything. Seems like a total cunterhead anarl

    A league that (other than Barcelona) contained a side that won the European Cup twice in that time (plus had another finalist in Valencia) and that Deportivo side wasn't competitive? Right you are.

    I don't think you could argue La Liga was wasn't competitive at that time anyway. Apart from Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid won the league in the mid-90s and Valencia has a class side that got to a European Cup final (against Real Madrid, which further underlines the class in that league around then). Deportivo were shit hot then too and won the league while Van Gaal was managing Barcelona. It was a much more open, competitive league than it is now. Not a defence of Van Gaal as such as I think he's past it. He's also a massive twat and arrogant even by Dutch standards. Just disagree with Chez's assessment of his time in Spain.

    Champagne for my real friends. Real pain for my sham friends.

    Didn't they win the European Cup during that period? Mijatovic scored the winner against Juventus iirc. It was just the start of the side that became the Galaticos. It was a pretty good team.

    And won a Champions League

    And got the better of an NUFC side managed by Glenn Roeder.

    Assuming I manage to stay awake that late, I'm looking forward to Frampton v Quigg in a couple of days. Could be a cracker

    I wasn't having a go at you for living away. I don't go to games any more anyway. It is a tacit approval of the regime in my view. But we can't sell out any more and the tickets have been frozen again so there is a drip-drip effect. If we went down again you wouldn't get the good will like last time. Not least because loads of people were tied into long-term deals then (and we came straight back up with no problems and a feel good factor). The worst thing is buying season tickets. All that money upfront makes any subsequent attempt at protest useless.

    Can't understand why the situation described in the OP is making that poster thirsty mind.

    Have to love someone who lives in a different country telling match-going fans how to spend their Saturday afternoons like. Blocking buses ffs The globe-trotting looky looky man has spoken
  18. Alex
    Yeah, both those things are English.

    Know a bloke (friend of my Dad) who used play for Ft. Lauderdale Strikers (mainly a squad player) back in the NASL days. He still lives there.

    How do you come to the conclusion we have fuck all chance of getting Remi Garde?
