  1. Criminally forgotten nowadays in the pantheon of all time greats, along with Pele. Ronaldo and Messi didn’t help invent a new way of playing the game. Johan Cruyff did and Barca (& now Man City) are influenced by it to this day. He was my dads favourite player. I’ve just sent my battered copy of Brilliant Orange to a charity shop…think I’ll get it on audio book.. David Wimner is always up for a chat on twitter too, very nice fella 👍
  2. I know what you mean, I sort of like it but it as a sitcom it’s hugely overrated, mostly by the whole of southern England . I do like that scene though it always makes me laugh
  3. AM NOT COMPARING WILLOCK TO CRUYFF!! but the great man would’ve been 76 today… I think he’d have enjoyed our display on Sunday
  4. Youre probably right but the point to me is Bayern are a better bet to win their league title next season..
  5. No guarantee of a trophy at Man Utd? 🤷🏻‍♂️
  6. Kane to Bayern Munich? Can they afford him? Would make sense tbh, they really miss Lewandoski
  7. Yeah 1984, we got bigger crowds than them that season from the division below… and they won the fuckin cup that year http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/league/newu.htm http://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/league/ever.htm
  8. From the (brilliant) thread AB posted yesterday….Blackburn apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
  9. The old man loved football but didn’t really support anyone bar Scotland. He often said “you should’ve been a City fan” (all mums lot were blue, uncle Bob is a red, he married her sister and is the only one left now the smug twat ) which only increased after Abu Dhabi turned up, just as Mike Ashley got his shitty claws into us
  10. Do you think there’s a chance of enough exits from your midfield this summer for you to go for both Bellingham and Rice? 🤔
  11. This son of West Gorton (via mother ) hopes you smash that shitty Salford/London/Dublin/Bombay hybrid in the FA cup final
  12. They deny that to fuck and apparently the Moores family had more of an influence at Everton. There was some involvement at LFC but I can’t find an independent source to get to the truth tbh. There’s no doubt that they did good business back in the day, they signed Rush for 20k got 3mill for him which went a long way to paying for Aldridge, Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton the following season. They did the same with Coutinho too, signing Allison & VVD off the back of his sale…but as someone said (might have been Dave) a while back they’ve had an elite level of funding for decades. It’s only when Klopp told them what to do with it that they came good (2005 not withstanding)
  13. England’s next few fixtures….if I see a squad with Gallagher, Mount or Kalvin “cunty” Phillips in it and no sign of Joseph George Willock in it this summer I won’t be responsible for my actions 😡
  14. This looks like a care home has a whole section all to themselves at SJP
