“The European Cup was nothing back then.” Revisionist nonsense. You had to win your league to get in it. Then it was knockout, no seeding, no guarantee playing first leg away etc.
Paisley was an absolutely outstanding manager. To say or hint otherwise is small time.

Thought they were really lucky to get through the first round in 1977/78 when they played Bye.

Paisley always came across as a gentleman too, winning the European cup in a knockout situation against winners of other countries leagues was an achievement.

Said it in the past on here. Ogden is an absolute **** and always has been. He’s your typical Heywood red. Tries way too hard to fit in with his fellow utd fans, which if he worked on a fanzine would be acceptable but the fact he’s a supposedly professional journalist just makes him look a bigger **** than we all know he is.
I used to regret shoplifting bars of chocolate on my way home from school at his parents off license but now I wish I’d have thrown in crisps and a can of lilt..

What his first name and where was his parent's shop in Heywood?

Mark, and the shop used to be known as the bungalow opposite bullough moor school fields.

Telegraph could become ‘PR arm’ of UAE after proposed takeover, MPs warned

UAE-backed deal could be disastrous for UK government and freedom of press, opponents say

amp.theguardian.com

The Grauniad on one again

Amazing how they don't have issues with other papers currently being owned by Yanks/Russkies

Their sports writers will be getting bonuses to slag us off.

Do the UAE need any positive PR? As per my last visit, the rest of the World are desperate to be involved with them.

They have all the positive PR they could rationally want.

Wonder which journalist (a term used in its widest sense), used his only question in today's press conference to ask Pep about Kyle Walker ? It could only be the BBCs United paid fanboy, Sly Stone.

I`m fucking delighted that Pep gave the fucker short change as well.

Is that still going??

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

A programme on bbc NI and Scotland about Irish and Scottish players playing football in England

Quinn’s penalty save v Derby was featured there

 

[Kippax77]

Is that still going??

Think it is yes

Legends you say….

EPL legends vs Singapore legends

Get ready to cheer for English Premier League legends like David James, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham, John Arne Riise, Wes Brown, Glen Johnson, Lee Sharpe, Keith Gillespie, Patrick Berger, Vladimir Smicer, and more.

Have emailed complaint about said article. Guardian not what it was. Kath Viner to blame?

Not sure there’s much to complain about, it’s reporting what some MPs are saying rather than an opinion piece.

Fucking Mirror headline - “Pep Guardiola casts doubt on future amid fears he could quit job” - that’s not at all what he said, snide cunts

 

[waspish]

Fucking Mirror headline - “Pep Guardiola casts doubt on future amid fears he could quit job” - that’s not at all what he said, snide cunts

Funny when he mention he had this year and next and could extend there wasn't a headline of Pep to extend! 99% of media want him gone so there team has an easier chance of winning league and cups

What he actually said is that he is NOT quitting and may well extend. Mirror are cunts, as are most of them (all of them)

Pandering to the rags and dippers which sells papers and clicks.

Look back and you will see that headlines like these always appear either on the eve, or on the day of a pivotal game for us. It's uncanny....

I see Martin Samuel is giving us another kicking in The Times this morning, while blowing oceans of smoke up Liverpool and Klopp arse. Didn’t take long did it…
