I've read people argue that the first 10 or so games of 1994/95 was peak Keegan. Completely agree with that, the football was unbelievably good. Weirdly it was partly without Beardsley as well. Possibly peak Andy Cole, definitely peak Rob Lee. We started that season like a steam train, but we definitely played better football the previous two seasons IMO. All about opinions innit, we certainly had a good few seasons to choose from. It says it all that the season we finished 5th after selling Cole, KK regarded it as a major disappointment and a failure of a season, yet many considered that we played the best footy that season. Again I disagree, but for a period we were unstoppable and did play good stuff. 6th and I only think the start of the season was peak Keegan. The away loss to Wimbledon before Christmas onwards we were nowhere near as good and then worse again after Cole was sold. That's how I remember it like...I was 10. Still got all the videos though. Aye you are right. I liked Kitson, but he was no Cole and didn’t fully fit in with the style of play which hindered us. I’m sure we asked about Sir Les in January along with Collymore and Chris Armstrong. KK always wanted Ferdinand though. Aye, being a daft 10 year old and not knowing any better, I was gutted that we didn't sign Roberto Baggio when we got Ferdinand though. On a similar note, thank we didn't get John Solako and went for Ginola as well. That Wimbledon defeat , I had the misfortune to be there at Selhurst Park for. We were bullied off the pitch , Warren Barton was superb for them. I'm sure that game made Kev buy him. Mike Hooper shit himself every time the ball got within 40 yards of the goal. Ruel Fox's debut too.

Naybet number 3?

No. 6 that one is. No. 2 .Reckon Bernard Lambourde is the Chelsea player who went to Pompey on loan.

The Norwegian lad who played for Southampton was a good player in my opinion, Jo Tessem.

Chris Swailes. Never heard of him. Just googled, looks like the type. I'm gonna say, simply because of the way Justin Edinburgh and he goaded Roy Keane in the 91 cup final, that I reckon Steve Sedgley is a great shout.

Burton 2 up

Happy Birthday Special K.

Chelsea second best here the cunts

Murphy rarely fails to make the correct point. Excellent journalist.

They've never won 7 games this season, have they?

Think Rivaldo's is mine

Haha, they've actually done a Leeds/Portsmouth then Except Leeds had a few good seasons and a run to the CL semis and Pompey managed to win the Cup.. All the Mackems got were annual relegation battles and 6 in a row [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

Knowing what Paully is like in Lush Lasses I get a feeling I know what this was. It was just a photo of Harry Kane and Jamie Redknapp analysing a scoring opportunity that’s all! I can’t believe it’s been deleted! Looked a bit of a limp shot from what I saw. The Spurs fan was trying to suck the ball in from what I could see.

60 years ago today. RIP the Busby Babes and other casualties of the horrific Munich air disaster. History will never allow them to be forgotten. [emoji17] Who knows if England would have gone into 1966 as reigning champions without Bobby Moore as captain or even in the side?
-
That is exactly how I see it. Just bung a goalhanger on the penalty spot and play to deflect the ball to him. It's absolute piffle. [emoji106]

If the law deems Kane to be onside due to a piece of comedic play from Lovren, then it really is an ass.
-
To me he's offside whether Lovren touches it or not. He was offside for the whole of that period from the original through ball. Correct, Lovren's touch is irrelevant as the ball went forward toward Kane who was offside from that initial ball. There were no other phases of play for Kane to be onside, which he never was at any time anyhoo. Wrong. If it had deflected off Lovren it would have been offside but because he played the ball (badly) it is offside. See the laws of the game: "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage." That is offside every single time. The ball is played toward Kane, he's offside from the initial pass, and stays so no matter how it gets to him, and who it touches. If there was a second phase of pay then fine, where the ball goes back toward the Tottenham goal and back toward Kane off a Liverpool maybe, you could argue, which i would argue is still offside but there wasn't. It's interpretation of the laws and they're interpreting them wrong, any person with eyes can see that. The moment that pass is played toward an offside Kane, the flag should have been raised.

Spurs deserved a point like but what a team of snidey, cheating cunts

Only really ironic if you consider Burnley fans to be glory hunters which they surely aren't. And tbf they had won exactly the same amount of league titles before the arab billions came along. Well City were getting 20-30,000 in the third tier, these lot certainly weren't
-
Even just now Smith said that Burnley are being forced into long hopeful balls as if they don't always do that. And the irony of the Burnley fans singing where were you when you were shit to the Citeh lot. Shitehouse tinpot club

This is idiotic, tbh. I was a goalkeeper for twelve years and I was always worse than other two goalkeepers when they compared our fitness, speed... mostly because I'm 6ft 7inches tall, but I always performed better at games because the other two were lacking decision making, determination, positioning, etc. If that's how the squad is picked, then it's poor man management. Benitez should know that manager at his level is mostly motivator, psychologist and tactician and not some professor from middle school who thinks that ones who know subject by heart are better than ones who truly understand it. Ferguson and Big Ron openly admitted Paul Mcgrath never trained as he just wasn't upto it and usually drank a bottle of vodka before training. Come Saturdays though the guy was an absolute colossus of a centre half Picking a team by training statistics is not how a manager should be doing it Jesus Christ man, you're an absolute hoot [emoji38] Tell us more about how you know better than our every world class manager in the game.... Your trophy cabinet must be absolutely bursting chocca? Paul McGrath didn't train in his late career because he was a chronic alcoholic. It was down to his knees not permitting him to do so. Ferguson never allowed him not to train, he just wouldn't show if he was on a bender, hence why he let him go. So he's wrong on two counts [emoji23]
