Well I am VERY old and my memory isn't what it was. It must have been that whack from a cudgel...Screaming J said:Well I was watching us beat Villa 1-0 at Stamford Bridge; don't know what game you were at!
Did you pull some bird either immediately before or after doing this? :jealous:Dick Knights Mum said:No - but I have held the Charity Shield and polished our name.

Yeah, Webb was the goal scorer! Tch, these johnny-come-lately fans, I bet some people posting in this thread weren't even AT the game!Uncle Buck said:But John Robson was manager.

PS - In the press report of the game (this is true) it said that Webb 'frequently got his line moving in business-like fashion'. Shows how tactics and formations have changed, probably the only time a forward 'line' is referred to nowadays is when people say a striker 'leads the line well'.
Bring back center-forwards, inside rights, outside lefts and half-backs, then we'll see some REAL football not this poncy 'strikers, midfielders and defenders' Euro-style we have now.
Actually I think the offside law has always been in existence. I could be wrong but I think originally it was offside if you kicked the ball forward! Didn't the rule in 1910 say there had to be three players between the attacker and the goal? (Later amended to 2?)Icy Gull said:Hardly a suprise there were so many goal hangers and the offside law had to be introduced. Old style 2-3-5 is the way to go without a doubt, a bit like Tottenham under Ardiles.
