I don’t think there’s been a single World Cup outside of Western Europe where there’s been anything approaching serious disorder. There were bits and pieces in Mexico in ‘86, caused mainly by bad blood over the Falklands but nothing major. Plenty of alcohol available at all the other tournaments.

I’m a bit too young to remember much about West Germany in ‘74, but from memory the only tournaments with major disorder were Spain ‘82, Italy ‘90, France ‘98 and Germany ‘06.

There’s a clear pattern there that isn’t the availability of alcohol.

You Should have listened to Darren Lewis on Thursday night, explaining how it's been the best world cup ever because of the alcohol ban, has resulted in no arrests and has made this world cup fantastic, he then explained how unsafe he will feel in 4 years time in America as a black journalist!

Remember when our press were fuming about FIFA banning the rainbow armband? The BBC gay employed Alex Scott was that angry that she wore it once only!


Token gestures!

Was this a joke?

Sorry if it was and it's gone over my head, but Livesy literally wrote the book on it. "Babes, Booze, Orgies and Aliens: The Inside Story of Sport Newspapers"

No joke. I was referring to his radio 5 output, when on numerous occasions over the years topics have been under discussion where he could quote legitimately made reference to it, but never did. I’m not as up on him as an author as you are tbh. Is it a decent read?

I've no idea to be honest, quite a title to live up to.
 
Just had Dean saunders speaking to a Leeds fan about stopping our Big Norwegian tonight. Saunders goes on to say. He was born in Leeds his dad played for them and apparently he's a Leeds fan.
They make it up as they go along. CTID

Dudn't Saunders miss penalties against us for three different clubs? Certainly for Derby & Villa. Can anyone confirm there is a third club he failed for?

Absolutely

There was only once when he went down easily, when he was basically in our left back position and purposely wanted to be challenged from behind to go down and get a free kick to relieve pressure

But players do that every game.
 
Since talkshite changed to being 'Powered by Fans' last year they have become worse than ever.

They've obviously encouraged their presenters to state their own club allegiances to stoke debate, and now most content these days seems to be two blokes arguing whether player x is better than player y, or would such and such get into an all-time prem side. Every time I switch it on it's "Is Kevin de Bruyne the best midfielder ever? We're taking your calls now.." Here's Joe in Romford..blah, blah, blah. CLICK.
