I remember that well. Birmingham were 3-0 up going into injury time and they almost threw it away, but it was 1977 or 78 and a league game, nothing to do with the cup. My Dad was a Blues fan and that was a landmark result at the time - then as you say, 5 years later they lost at home again to...

My Birmingham City contacts tell me he has agreed a deal to go there, working again with Tony Mowbray. A strange one that. Edit - this was the source https://www.si.com/soccer/sunderland/transfers/exclusive-birmingham-city-to-complete-bargain-deal-for-sunderland-midfielder

Who’s the other bird, apart from the lovely Vera? ❤️

Does Vera offer any other services apart from the hair transplants?

I read this from a Baggies fan: Yeah it was a joke, there was about 5 wolves fans in the Albion end though and they chinned an Albion fan. That’s what started it all, all got blown out of proportion.

Not nice to see.

Or Maidstone?

Not great, obviously, but I didn’t see anything on a par with Luton v Millwall 1985. Seemed to be a few in the wrong end and a lot of animated police, stewards and fans running around but I’ve seen far worse….. This was a fixture when something was always likely to kick off, they’ve been...

Would you be able to use her as a spinning option on a wearing track though?

Real bravery from the skipper too to throw the ball to Hartley and show him the faith he needed when others may not have done. Brilliant win!

Maybe the valuation is based on this? But I think they meant the other Crystal Palace: https://www.building.co.uk/news/boris-unveils-500m-plan-to-rebuild-crystal-palace/5061640.article

I’ve spent a few minutes counting them up! Done 84, but plenty of them will have been bulldozed by now, so probably only 50ish of the current 92. I’ve also done 55 overseas and you can add about another 80 if we extend it to other sports home and abroad, mainly cricket and rugby. I have also...

Why do they even want to compete in our tournaments when they don’t seem to have a good word to say about us? Compete in the League of Wales or the Welsh Cup, speak in Welsh and sing all your anti English songs amongst yourselves - win win, shirley? 4 extra teams in the National League can...

Finland, Ukraine, Luxembourg

The hairline is coming along nicely 👍

https://football-observatory.com/WeeklyPost448 Far too many English clubs on there - interesting to see that Villa are 7th, Everton 8th and Palace 11th on the list (which is global), and Villa were in the Championship for some of those years too! It makes you wonder how some of these clubs get...

I was at university with a good mate of Adrian Chiles, who I therefore got to know in the pub way before he got famous, but then met him again a few times in later years when he was presenting MOTD. It was a bit surreal going out drinking with the guy who presented MOTD that I had watched ever...

Maybe we need a rival thread counting down from 500,000 to see where we meet, a bit like when the French and us were building the Channel Tunnel? 😆

Martinez from Villa - controlled the tempo of the whole game from his position generally prostrate on the ground despite apparently being close to death on several occasions.
