old git

Ron has got the only decent seat in the house!

Ah, the exhuberance of youth. In my heyday, the nearest I got to fashion was a Ben Sherman shirt and a pair of frayed bell bottomed jeans. Buttons compared to the stuff you youngsters were wearing.

Always thought that Harry's caricature was Alan 'Fluff' Freeman while Paul was supposed to be Kid Jenson, which is probably why Tony Blackburn couldn't do anything about the sketch?

"That's a free kick, not a throw!" Ken Wolstenholme on the Hutchinson missile. Love it.

Yeah, he married her and was then all weepy eyed when they divorced.

Ah, the old sweeper system. Wouldn't work nowadays with the high press being the fashion. Brilliant goal by Osgood culminating in woofing it up'em. I'm sure I was at that game.

Even better when I was going Ersk!

Hattie Jacques?

I'd play Christensen instead of Luiz. He's a better defender and has the pace to deal with quick fire City attack. After his outburst last week, upsetting the luvvies in the forward line, Rudiger should be brought back for this game. Kovacic could play the Jorghino role with his eyes closed.

Dennis Waterman's brother Peter was a very good boxer, winning the British and European welter weight titles. After he retired, he used to have a mobile cafe on the edge of Mitcham Common, where all us weekend footballers used get our refreshments

Oh yes, now we're talking "legends!"

Fantastic old photograph collection. That kid in the top photo, could have been me being passed down to the front.

Gutless, inept, tippy - tappy football with zero idea of how to penetrate their defence in the penalty area. And you just knew that any cross, any corner, any free kick was going to amount to zilch because we have no one with those skill sets. Here's a Plan B Maurizio, next time we play away, whether it be teams like Huddersfield, Cardiff, Fulham and Bournemouth, we sit back and let them come to us because, what is clear is, the defence and Jorginho are much more comfortable facing the play. They might hesitate to risk the high press against us, so they'll be a bloody great empty space in midfield but at least we're guaranteed a point out of the game, as boring a watch as it will be.

That picture has got me flummoxed. Fairly certain that's Bobby Tambling slotting the ball home, but who are we playing? Maybe Blackburn in a changed strip?

Yeah, a top class striker. I first saw him in Italy playing for Palma. He was absolutely different tackle to anybody else that day.
