Look at the pitch in yesterday’s replay of the 1966 Final ! That’s not to mention the ball. I played on pitches like that. I also played football on a bowling green. A local engineering works went bang and the sports facilities were abandoned until eventually Woolworths bought it for their headquarters. They had a bowling green there and they had a goat on a rope to keep the grass down. We’d tie the goat to a tree and play 4 a side on the grass. It was fantastic to play on after the pitches we played on normally. Ball control was so predictable. That’s what pitches are like today.

Does that apply to some of the first team squad ? I can think of 3 right of the top of my head that miss games regularly.

Ray Charles - Lonely Avenue

I think we might regret doing that.

Dykes can play when Gally gets injured again.

Some guys have all the luck.

It’s a shame because he looks to be a skilful player with goals in him.

Are you his mum or his agent ?

1966 World CupFinal on Channel 4 at the moment. 1-1at half time.

He surprised me the way he ran away from the Leicester defenders for the first goal. He was quick enough that day.

He reminds me of Andy McEvoy in that respect.

Is there another club interested ? If there isn’t he’ll be here, if there is forget it.

At £6 million, no wonder !

Keep selling your best players only ends one way, irrespective of who the manager is.

Yeah, the fans were throwing their coffee cups at him as a token of appreciation no doubt.

I just came across a photo of a very young Harry Kane ( 9 or10 ) playing for “ Ridgeway Rovers” in what would have been a cracking Rovers kit.

I’m afraid dodgy decisions are still part of football. I’ve learnt to take the rough with the smooth over the years. On another day the Saka “goal “ could have stood. I thought it was a pretty marginal off side decision.

Little Richard - All Around The World

Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World

I think most of them have been really good to be honest. Apart from the guy who started handing out yellow cards in the first five minutes and made a rod for his own back.
