But as I'm led to understand they didn't do it without knowledge from other agencies, it was only when the Japanese effectively tried to take Nissan UK back off him in some kind of underhand move and to placate the Japs Maggie backed the foreign power, that it all came out. I'm sure Frank...

If your picking the best ever Albion team, at least the players you have watched live, is it on ability or at the level the players played at? A heated debate ensued at the break at the cricket on Friday, whilst i have happy memories of both Peter Ward and Bobby Zamora, I still maintain that as...

Top bloke, provided major employment in Worthing, tireless chairty worker for the handicaped, then totally left out to dry by the Tory government, sadly died in exile, deserved more. As for heroes, managed to meet and actually do a short interview with Alan Ball while at SCR, a brilliant...

Almost sure all of the above went, Bowles makes reference to it in his book, and years ago the late Peter Osgood did a charity dinner for me and told us all he was there and got pulled over the coals for missing a carpet bowls session in favour of a drinking session with a couple of sorts at a...

Remaining with a 16 team finals, with a limited european representation, how many would we have qualified for since 1982?

But for example at that meeting the list included; Ball, Bell, Marsh, Keegan, Worthington, Bowles, Francis G and Currie, who in 1974 were of a certain level, do we have that depth now?

As the new England boss Don Revie invited the top 50 English footballers to a two day get together in Manchester in the summer of 1974 to outline his plans. I know things didn't pan out back then but would the next England manager struggle to muster 50 Englishmen of quality to have simular meet up?

Sunk like the Belgrano.........

Once again the King Solomon of NSC is bang on, cannot go near him because of the current allegations. Remember how the FA shit themselves over El Tel and made him walk in 1996 when he hadn't actually been charged with anything.

Missed it due to football and cricket, is it being repeated?

Prior's knock was something special, hopefully for the younger spectators one of those 'I was there the night....' right up there with us old gits who recall one October night in 1976 a goaless first half at the Goldstone then Albion hitting 7 against Walsall in the second 45 minutes.

In light of their one all draw with NZ I wonder if they will have a field day like ours have had for the last couple of days? Sir Geoff Hurst put it all into perspective last night when he recalled 1966, and one sunday paper had a front page line, "England win World Cup, see back page'. How...

Not at all. I've sat through two surreal games of football and am just asking the question would he have made a difference? That's not slagging the manager.

In hindsight was it a mistake not to take him?

Mrs Costa and I have enjoyed a relationship for over 20 years which has always remained platonic.:angel:

A learning curve Ern, I clearly remember the cartoonist turning up with the front cover, and whilst we were all prepared to go with it, deep down we all probably knew it wasn't the right thing to do. The ignorance of youth:lolol:

Roy don't do whitewash, when it comes out it I'm sure it will shock a few people, there a certain things that went on that get 'forgotten' (convieniently)

Hence Gulls Ear, which we had to bring out as they had a High Court injunction out against the Eye, so we couldn't publish as normal.

Basically leading into Falmer, the whole warts and all story from start of finish. Starting with the arrival of Stanley and then Archer and Belotti ending with advent of Tony Bloom as chairman. Therefore Gulls Eye is a reference point, one of many, for the years 88-97.

Probably on a par with the Palace 'team of the 1980's' as has been said previously in this thread once the phrase was coined perhaps the damage was done.
