Incognito

That just isn't true, and I say that as someone who was in the Holte End that day. Men my age and older who had lived through the Harry Kartz era in the 80s were at it, vitriolic in their abuse. They were genuinely ecstatic at our demise. Some of it was banter, most of it wasn't

Hats off to him Kinell

I'll have a smidgeon of this please if still available. A couple if possible

To the Daily Mail?

Hed never have dropped Wilkins if not suspended nor Robson but for his shoulder which wouldn't have brought in Peyter Reyd and Steve Hodge which fully allowed our best midfield player, Glenn Hoddle to properly flourish .

Eight years in the hot seat (third longest serving England manager). 95 games, with better results (w47 d30 l18) than achieved with Newcastle. It’s easy to pick out woulda-shoulda-coulda choice points, decisions he might have made etc. There are also lesser, in my opinion, shorter serving mangers wth better records, many of which include more meaningless friendly wins. But I think he got so close to winning the World Cup with two well organised England sides that my main take on his tenure is he was unlucky. There was a nice bit of footage of him from Italia 90 which perfectly captures that feeling, I'd say we got close to winning 86 World Cup in spite of him not because of him. Then there's the dismal failure to qualify for France 84 and the pathetic showing at Germany 88. Not as bad as any of the recent managers nor his immediate successor, but in my opinion, not a good England manager.

People either forget or just don't know that as England manager, Bobby wasn't that great. He probably should have been sacked after Euro 88. We would never have qualified for the second round in 86 had the selection of Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins been taken away from him. He did seem more flexible come Italia 90 though, but his use of subs in the semi weren't very good. It was crying out in extra time for Steve Bull to set about the German defence but he left alone. Possibly could have took Shilton off for penalties too. I don't ever remember Shilton saving a pen and sure enough he never got near any of their pens

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/day-bristol-city-game-led-66455.amp FFS, obviously one of the many Chronicle sister papers, by the style of the website, do those papers not bother with editors ? First few words: "It became know as the game of shame" My dear old man and an 8 year old me were there. There was no shame at all, my Dad spent the last 20 minutes of the game laughing uncontrollably. Tommy Hutchison of Coventry and Gerry Gow of Bristol sat on the floor in the centre circle chatting for ages, while the game continued. Goalkeepers kicking the ball to each other. All while the electronic scoreboard highlighted the Mackems defeat at Goodison.

Spencer from the Phoenix looks happy though.

Aye, they're nowhere near catching us .

Ideal for such a pantomime club.

Ricky Villa. Though his goal in the semi replay against Wolves was a corker too

79 caps for that goal and a decent 20 minute appearance as sub against Argentina.

Fuck me, Gimp thinks he's at the Oscars

Marco Tardelli.

Justin Fashanu

Michael Thomas

Lawrie Sanchez

Keith Houchen

He's known for the penalty in the final or the deflected free kick in the semi?

Fuck knows how we've lost that. Everton have had two shots against us in two games and waltzed off with 6 points.

I don't understand why they keep allowing this bloke from Greater Manchester to referee Manchester United.

10 , complete guess at the Chinese lad, Knew it wasn't Sun or the guy who was at Charlton though.
