This playing out from the back stuff

Big Ron? Wait no blatant racism in it.

I just remember the days when at a goal kick all 20 outfield players were stationed on side of the pitch in a space of about a square metre - and Johnny Lukic would still kick it straight into touch

Ederson's kick last night......he throws that and they probably win the match

Couldn't be arsed to watch it. Championship games far more interesting to me

There is an old saying in football- if there is a bit of the pitch with loads of blokes in it, there must be another bit with no blokes in it.

Not a great saying, and you can see why it didn't catch on

football park", with the word park being said in that irritatingly long, nasal intonation he would always employ ( hated the kvnt )

Not just me then. Admired what he did but hated the mythology around him. And he hated Arsenal - the Kent

By the time I was old enough to form opinions the game and society had passed him by somewhat, and he seemed an anachronism.

For other reasons, I have no love whatsoever for Forest.

Me neither. I had a friend at university who was a big Forest fan. Covered my door in our halls with every single report from our defeat against Wrexham in 91.

Played on the same team as him for a couple of years and we worked very well together but then found out that right wing wasn't far enough for him - he was on a watchlist as a member of the National Front.

Oddly, he loved Rocky (though tbf who didn't - well Norman Whiteside maybe)

I'm enjoying the demise of City.....while it lasts.

Last night was quite good, should've been battered but it was much more enjoyable that way. Real Madrid always seem to know what's best, entertainment-wise.

If it were possible to arrange it (which it isn't), football is softening City up so any punishment they get won't actually cost them anything. Pep says they're expecting a verdict next month.

Schadenfreude hardly does the sensation justice. I forget who the pundit was that showed with just cold stats how City's defence was unassailable with Rodri in it and hopelessly porous without him. I wish injury on no player but if his recovery could stall til the season's over that would be good
