Like a Solano. I couldn’t see him playing as a right winger in this day as he didn’t have much pace but I could see him as a central mid in midfield three. Or a Laurent Robert. Would he play as a left sided player in a three prong attack? did we play 443 under Sir Bobby? Where did players like that fit in? We've never played 443 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townsend was in the squad when England played Turkey in a friendly in May 2016, but was an unused sub and had played his last game for us by that point. So I dunno if that counts. Edit: played in a friendly later in the month against Australia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, after getting lauded for watching Man City walk around him for 90mins. Stevie Fistpumps too. Edit: or did Colback pull out with injury?

Raconteur Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I thought Colback was capped before he came here? And I’m pretty sure Stevie Fistpumps never got called up…? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Didn't Colback play the same game as Carroll's debut, although I could be confusing him with Henderson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 When Final Score of Soccer Saturday show a round up of all the games at the end of the show, there is always a column titled "Pools" with a bunch of numbers.

Someone could correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it something like you pay £13 and you pick a certain number of games you think are going to be a draw. You get 2 points for a score draw and 1 point for a nils each? Smash the points and you win the jackpot. I'm in my mid 30s so never played it but it was big back in the 80s I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassassin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Littlewoods pools were largely how Liverpool reached their position of preeminence from the 60s through till the end of the 80s, the Moores family using their wealth to support them and Everton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfella Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 And when there was bad weather and a lot of postponed games, the Pools Panel used to sit and judge what they thought would have been the outcomes of the games affected. This was made up of ex- pro's, a bit like the Soccer Saturday panel, only with brains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure I saw a comedy of the pools panel played out like Twelve Angry Men. Edit....I think the myth is that Willie McFaul got sacked after a pool's panel result.

I'm in my mid 30s so never played it but it was big back in the 80s I think 3pts Score draw 2pts No score draw 1 1/2pts away win 1pt home win. 8 results counted from your choices, 8 from 10 was one price, 8 from 11 cost more etc. If there were 8 score draws that week the dividend forecast would be high with claims required for 24pts.

bigfella Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, the immortal words on Final Score of "telegram claims for 24 points" would bring a satisfied smile to Frank Bough's face.
