    United Thread - 2023/24

    De Gea saved most of the close in shots with his legs and feet - the jammy bxxxxxd. It was his distribution that was his problem. If Tent peg thinks he has solved the “playing out from the back “ conundrum by getting rid of De Gea I think he’s in for a shock.

    City and West Ham fans

    Back in the mid to late 70’s I was posted to Ilford territorial barracks to cover the Fireman’s Strike. On our days off I used to drink in the local pubs. Met many a WHU fan and they showed an interest in City and I was complimentary about them and some the players that had served each club...

    Interview with Bill Leivers - the longest surviving FA Cup winner

    I was introduced to Bill whilst attending Mauldeth Rd Primary School. His kids attended there and he was dropping them off in the morning. I’m pretty sure he lived just off Mauldeth Rd, but before Wilmslow Rd at that time. Nice man.
