The Birmingham keeper pulled off an absolute wordlie last night. Think it was a triple save in the end but the first one in particular was amazing. Then to get up and make another save. Up there. Schmiechel v Liverpool 2003. James. V Chelsea 2005 from Lampard. Ederson v palace a few years ago...

As we are in a World Cup year. What’s been your favourite. I really enjoyed 94 USA. Felt entirely different from anything I’ve watched before. The stadiums all looked amazing. I loved the kits especially the generic adidas ones. Watched some new amazing teams and players for the first time...

What players do you remember more for being good at a world cup rather than anything they ever did at club level. For me. Daniel Amochaki. Toto schillaci Florin radaciou Stoichkov Michael owen Mario gotez James Rodriguez Bebeto

Wasn’t me but in the 80s my old man came home pissed one night with his brother and had brought home a pool table complete with cue and balls. Apparently got a good price for it in the pub that night . I hardly ever played it and it was dismantled and placed under my bed for most of my...

Growing up in the 80s and 90s subbeto was right of passage for most young lads of that era. I remember having the pristine green pitch laid out on my bedroom floor and if I was good my parents would put it out on the dinner table. Used to get easily ruffled up though. Used to love going to the...

Indirect free kicks in the penalty area after an obstruction. Goalkeepers drop kicking the ball out of their hands. Players shaking hands after a goal has been scored. Toilet roll being thrown on the pitch. At a World Cup or cup final players with socks rolled right down. Players wearing...

Who would you say is our most important player. Not necessarily the best but the most integral to the way we play. For me it’s between Rodri and Walker. Rodri is the fulcrum of the side. Knits everything together. Doesn’t get dragged out of position. Knows when to press and to hold off. Play...

As Monday mornings go I’ve had better. Last night I felt that my pulse rate was skipping beats. Got up this morning and went to work but didn’t feel great so thought I would get the once over at the hospital and be out as soon as I walked in. However about a dozen tests/cannula’s and saline...

Just reading the post about the 19 or 22 seasons and what one was the best. For me I couldn’t really enjoy them as much as I would have liked. The stress and pressure of it all was at times off the scale. Don’t get me wrong I loved winning the league both times but even after gundogans last goal...

I was listening to that under the cosh podcast this week and Nicky Weaver was talking about Ousmane Dabo. I remember being really excited at this signing. I was on holiday in Rhodes at the time it was announced sitting in a bar with the wife watching sky sports news when it flashed up. Obviously...

Goalkeepers wearing leggings under their shorts. players wearing gloves with short sleeve shirts. any number over 49 on the back of a football shirt. ex players proper celebrating after scoring against their former side. Assistant managers on the sidelines wearing football boots.

Just got in to hear that Joey beauchamp has passed away at the age of fifty. I was at Oxford when joey was there and he was something of a legend there. Moved to West Ham and Swindon but never worked out for him and returned to Oxford and had his best years there. He loves the club and played...

My lad needed a new pair of football boots for school so had to take him to sports direct as nowadays there are limited sports shops knocking about. Every boot seems to be a different colour or an array of colours. What has happened to the good old fashioned black football boots. Ended up...

Just watching the Millwall v palace game. Any refs on here know about the six second rule for keepers. Has it been done away with or just ignored. The palace keeper has the ball on his hand for well over twenty seconds at points in that game. It never gets penalised and I was just wonder if refs...

Growing up in the 80s and playing football more or less everyday I used to love getting a new football. I think my favourites were either the Adidas Tango or a mitre delta. I used to hate it if one of my mates used to bounce it on the pavement on the way up to the park in case it went under a...

As the Euros are just are just around the corner it comes with the releasing of all the new shirts. Whilst shopping last week I noted the lack of any real stand out shirts. My favourite from years ago was the France 96 shirt. A real good effort and looked really nice. I remember buying it as a...

I’m just reading a book called “we are Sunday league” Really good book and brings back a lot of memories for me. I loved playing Sunday league football, for a few years me and my mates had a cracking side, won loads of leagues and cups and had just the best times, that we were all close mates...
