Three pre-match pies

I just can’t see him being the ‘sole’ of the team, not the sort of player that would put his ‘laces’ through the ball or add ‘polish’ to the options upfront.

What cobblers (Google translate is your friend here).

I’ve always quite liked Man United, glad they equalised. I know that pov might buck the trend but hey ho …

The Whitton near Twickenham? Potential schoolboy error ….

I think Levy will turn to the obvious replacement - Stevie Bruce (once he’s back from the cricket!).

Ex Birmingham City though - they had the bed sheets out complaining about this when McLeish and Bruce managed them, though I do understand Potter claims to have been a Villa supporter as a kid.

But harsh on Charlton, Wimbledon, Sutton, Barnet ….

Isn't it funny how people get different views from different experiences. I have known loads of City supporters over the years and always found them to be great, whereas growing up in the 70s and 80s Liverpool just attracted plastic, glory hunting fans. I suppose it could be different now and...

I think I saw it on Liverpool Narcos - probably best to let it go if I were you ….

That’s why I made the specific point of it being a sporting rivalry and nothing more than that, ie it’s just a sporting rivalry or, to put it another way it’s just a sporting rivalry. I don’t think that’s quite the same as judging a nation, it’s just a sporting rivalry, nothing more (see...

I didn’t use to mind the Welsh until I was at the 2019 final in Yokohama that we lost to South Africa. These 2 mouthy Taffs behind me couldn’t disguise their dislike of England, the rugby team at least, I even had to remind them that it wasn’t Wales they were watching winning. They could see...

The Park Regis is not bad - £119. Lower than that and you may not survive the night. Edit - that deal has gone, best bet is the Ibis budget @£110, several other options do look expensive as you say.

For anyone going by car, don’t forget that Birmingham has a clean air zone in the centre which operates 24/365. If you are just going to the game and not into the centre then it won’t affect you, but just in case you fancied a wander into the city then here is the link...

Thanks, It’s not me on those pictures but I did find a copy of the magazine from May 1999 and I’m in that one, which is winging its way to me via ebay!

The ebay seller has sent me through some pictures of the magazine and it’s definitely the right one. So thanks to everyone on here who helped me track it down, a nice keepsake to have of a significant day.

That is tragic. I was actually born in Coventry though moved from there when I was 4, it was the Florence of the North, one of Britain’s 4 great Medieval cities (others being London, Norwich and Bristol) but sadly got bombed and rebuilt like Crawley. There are still amazing buildings left if...

There was a copy of the 1999 one on ebay for a fiver, so I’ve ordered it. It can be returned if it’s the wrong one or else I’ll be advertising it on here soon for £4!

My missus was working with him recently in his accountancy role, no Sex Pistols playing apparently!

Good article, I think I’ve read that one already.
