Stretford Ender

Indeed. So what's the story with CHO? We are desperate for a good right winger but I can't see Chelsea selling to us, even if we were interested.

Liew is a first-class tool. Liverpool fan by all accounts. He's written similar bollocks about us too. I swear that what some of these hacks know about football could be written on the back of a stamp.

Team game mate. Every side needs a water carrier or two.

Good job you put that emoji on there. KDB is a bit special though.

Take you blue-tinted specs off. All of the players you've mentioned, including Frank, have praised Scholes.

LOL. I remember one game at Hampden which England won 1-0. The panel in the box was Hill, Allison (again) and someone else. You could see the pitch through the large window behind them. Some Scottish supporters clocked them and all you could see was beer cans hitting the plate glass and the pundits flinching.

He used to get up peoples' noses though with his sanctimonious twaddle. One time, after a Manchester derby, he accused George Best of deliberately injuring Glynn Pardoe, who suffered a broken leg. In the studio, Hill goaded Malcolm Allison trying to get him to say that the foul was deliberate, but Allison, to his credit, would not take the bait.

We had three semi-finals against Leeds in 1965 and again in 1970. The third replay was held at the City Ground in 65 and Burnden Park in 1970. Bremner scored the winner in both games.

Happened to Leicester too in 1969. City beat them at Wembley. Frank O'Farrell was Leicester's manager at the time.

That's an interesting choice of venue. I always thought Coventry's ground was a bit on the small side. If memory serves, wasn't it the first all-seater in England?

For the masses not the classes. I've still got the remains of one somewhere in the house. Mind you, the missus goes on purges now and again so it might have been binned.

I'll believe it when I see it. The latest guff is that we're after Telles but I suspect PSG will get him. As for Bale, they say you can never go back (or is it you should never go back?). He's still got a season or two left in him I suppose and he's got a point to prove to Zidane that he's not all washed up.

Betcha he won't. Woodward couldn't organize an orgy in a brothel. There are still United fans who think we're a football club when, in fact, we are a business. The Glazers will not spend money. They've got their precious top four place and the cash it generates, and that's about the extent of their ambition. People point to the money spent by Van Gaal and Jose but look at the overall investment figures since 2013 then look at Chelsea. Even with a transfer ban, team investment has been excellent and Lampard has clearly been backed. Ole will be hung out to dry.

Damned good striker was Kerry Dixon. He must be up there amongst your leading scorers. Did the business for England too until he got injured. I remember him scoring twice against us at home when Big Ron was manager.

Man, that's embarrassing. Thank heavens for punk.

Reminds me of the old joke. Why do police in Russia walk around in threes? One can read, one can write, and the other keeps his eye on the two intellectuals.

Usually calling him a 'Chelsea Legend'. Legend is a word bandied about so much these days that it really has lost any semblance of meaning. As @Backbitersays, he was a good player but not up there in the stratosphere as some would have you believe.

I have. Wasn't that the one about American vessels coming under fire from strange flying machines? Operation Highjump, I think it was called.

You were living in Antarctica or NZ? The former has all kinds of stories attached to it dating back hundreds of years, if not more including the theory that the Piri Reis map showed part of the coastline not covered in ice.

He was a decent player in his day. He certainly had the talent to be one of the best in the game but he always fell short of expectations. Tony Waddington, who managed Stoke back then, was pretty much the only manager who was able to get the best out of him. Waddington also rejuvenated the career of Geoff Hurst and he turned Jimmy Greenhoff from a journeyman forward into a very good striker. I don't understand his antipathy towards Chelsea though I saw an article a few years ago in which he complained the club had cut off the privileges to which he felt entitled. If memory serves, he also fell out with Terry Neill at Arsenal during his time there.

I thought the first one was the better of the two. I did see the second one but it wasn't very memorable.

I love the X-Files. Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man is a great episode.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead with Clive Owen and Malcolm McDowell. Pretty brutal film with an almost-unwatchable male rape scene. The ending is ambiguous but leaves you hoping for the best. Saw The Way of the Dragon again. The fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris lifts this above the usual cliched martial-arts flick. Going to be on my own for a few days next week so I'll watch The Sleepy Eyes of Death films again with Raizo Ichikawa in his most famous role as the amoral ronin, Nemuri Kyoshiro.

Twitter is a cesspit as well as being a global collective of morons.

One or two, and that was when Zlatan was in the team. What I will say is that no team has made an offer for him, even when he at odds with Jose and made it clear he wanted out. I think we're stuck with him until Raiola decides otherwise.
