I think we need a few more hard men than just the one. Going back over the years (I can do Joe mercer's team) that was full of hard men, both mentally and physically. Opponents all had one or two such players but apart from Leeds, Arsenal and Dipperpool who all had a squad full of such types...

What is the projected capacity in the upper tiers of the North and South stands?

If it's true that Levy has offered £80m then take it with a sell-on clause, and make the deal watertight and payable in full. As one of our sternest critics and an instigator behind EPL charges against us then we have to punish him in a way that shows him how we balance our books.

I well remember the Everton fans singing "We'll walk a million miles to the end of your nose" and he gestured an enlarged nose with his hand and even they had to laugh. He also received applause from the same crowd when caught offside and he would fetch the ball and return it to the spot where...

WILL not might. Unlike the Spuds way of working, City work for the building of a squad that will likely be successful for the season. Spurs under Levy are not about building a squad for success, they are just trying to trade players in a way that builds annual profits. Victory on the field is...

We all piss in a red and white pot A red and white pot A red and white pot.

Or how to pronounce it.

Talking of which, the Platt Lane Stand was originally for standing spectators and I was one of those when I attended the 1960 Derby when we beat the rags 3-0. What I remembered of that day was being precariously balanced on one of the barriers near the back of the stand, and that the back of the...

He wasn't called 'The Barnsley Beckenbauer ' for nothing!

Look at the admission charge back then. Even pocket money would have got me in.

The camera does not lie. The drab scene captures the mood of the fans who were watching on helpless as the club was systematically being destroyed by a tyrant.

And not just a manager. He's become one of us too.

You're right, I looked it up on the video. My bad. Must be some other game I had in mind.

But he never built a team with a solid spine and he should have been sacked after the 0-5 at the swamp. Playing David Brightwell at LB against Kanchelskis was asking for trouble, not that there was much logic with the rest of his team selection.

Anyone here old enough to remember Alan Ogley? Signed from Stockp't County but was too small and wore contact lenses. A deadly combination for a keeper. Replaced by another keeper from the same source, pretty boy Mulhearn who wasn't too great either even though the outfield players won him a...

We should have trade marketed that chant. Everyone knew who sang it.

Wasn't he the commentator who frequently called Kinkladze Gigi?

Swales missed a trick there then. He could have sold you a season ticket for that.

Not sure about this but I think Freddie Flintoff learned his cricket at the same school. If that be so, it would seem that this school rates sporting achievement highly.
