I was one of the youngsters right at the front of the North stand. Always had 'our' place just to the right of the goal, standing on our milk crates! I was 10 at the time. Great memories of that day; I also got to touch Tony Towner's arm during the game. Didn't wash my hand for a week!

Not bad for a team of goalkeepers!
Clough did things simple, that's it. This is a simple game overcomplicated by those who do not understand what it takes to lead and manage a team. Clough let his players naturally lead without him having to delegate leadership. He saw it as a natural process. I am not too convinced that we have...
Although I tend to agree, without a regular place and only playing a bit-part to the cause, Poke will never gain the experience or confidence required as he constantly knows that he will be replaced. Surely Gus must have some faith in him as he would have been released by now?
ok, read a few threads and replies on this topic. Wholeheartedly agree that a keep is desperately needed as our first choice two are not the standard required at this level.

1. Southampton
2. West Ham
3. Reading 83 pts
4. Brighton 76 pts
5. Cardiff 75 pts
6. Blackpool/Birmingham 73...
I get that but that (imo) is just a small part of it. VB inherited an ageing squad of premodonas and was not given the time to put his mark on the club. Chelsea want results immediately by buying them. VB has kept his dignity throughout and with a sense of humility - this is what the thread is...
I was using it as a comparison between the two. Suarez singles himself out. I was at the Liverpool game and I could only watch and admire his talent; I just wish he could use his talent for good and not the negative that he brings on himself.
Oh, as for zzzzzzzzzzzz, I take you have just woken up!
Man U and Arsenal have built their foundations on youth coming through to the first team. Yes they'll buy the odd individual but only those who will add value to the core squad; the squad is not built around one player. Chelsea bought their success and have nothing to show for it other than a...
