Did it twice. 0 points and 1 point. ? Confirmed that I know nowt!

False advertising me thinks!

As long as he doesn’t grease up his gloves again.

I was there—albeit worse for wear drink wise—and the Dabizas one is lost in the mists of time for me. Can recall being convinced Anelka controlled the ball with his arm on the build to a goal. Happened right in front of me and was fuming. Couldn’t wait to watch it on TV to confirm the referee’s miss. All these years later still not seen any evidence of it ? (…still convinced though!)

?

Me too. Dennis Weasel Wise was the culprit.

Loved Speedo, but similarly never forgiven him for missing a header in the Chelsea FA Cup semi. We’d primed the crowd on the way up Wembley Way with a new Gary Speed song. We weren’t winning that game (Zola was immense) but convinced the song would have taken off if he scored ?

Loved that. Muchas gracias, amigo mío!

You’ve a remarkable memory for players’ gaffs ?(or the feckers have caused you deep emotional scarring! ?)

Counting down how many minutes it’ll be before the ‘H Amigo’ drops being ahead of you in the Predictions league ?

Tease! Might be an interested read.

Mbemba playing for Marseille tonight. Loved that old bugger.

“A little bit neuro-diverse” ? Diplomatically said, sir.

Ooh! Wait a minute, they do have an all time record!! Fair play ?

Went here: https://talksport.com/football/fa-cup/183601/top-club-english-football-decade-1870s-2010s-170118224250/amp/ looking for a (hopefully humorous) ‘Yes, but….’ Sunderland were bigger and better than them in ‘190-whenever’. Failed.

Must feel like a right kick in the nuts though.

It’s nice to see a manager who has worked his way up the leagues, learned his craft rather than been equipped to play real life fantasy football, get a chance at the highest level. He might also help with their PR/appalling public image.

Do you think Chelsea with have a ‘managerless’ bounce for West London derby?

And the hits just keep on coming…

Big presumption that Howe is only here for the next couple of years. I know it is a results business, but I can see him growing with us. Getting the additional experience, Neville’s imagining we’ll go shopping for, as he goes. If the relationships with ‘the grown-ups’ upstairs stay good, he’ll be here for a long time.

Bias acknowledged, but I wouldn’t currently swap him for any of the above. Not based on what they’ve achieved thus far, but more to do with his level headedness, good values, the team spirit and connection with the fan base he has recreated, and what I think he is capable of. Doesn’t hurt than for the last 19 games of last season his team (who admittedly had January additions—some not featuring much due to injury) returned an incredible points total: 2.05 pts per game. We haven’t seen that kind of consistent run here in decades. Only Liverpool and Man City did (slightly) better. I know I have given him a bit of ‘settling-in’/influencing time in this stat, but it is still quite mind blowing that a team (majority of) who were clearly relegation fodder and had averaged 0.58 pts per game for the first 19, could pull out this kind of run. That has to evidence of great management.

Truss wanking sounds kinda edgy… .

Well I didn’t think there was much in it. I’d seen them both play, sooo…

We are winning this.

Now you have prophesied, let it be so ?
