The Miracles - You Really Got A Hold On Me

It’s got to be a better performance than the same fixture last year.

Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World

Yeah Gow could put it about alright.

Wilbert Harrison - Let’s Stick Together

The Hollywood Argyles - Sure Know A Lot About Love

Ike And Tina Turner - It’s Gonna Work Out Fine

The Knight Brothers - Temptation ‘Bout To Get Me

Joe Simon - Step By Step

The Miracles - Mickey’s Monkey. I used to have this on” Oriole “ . Very collectible. It’d be worth a few quid now. I hope my ex-wife sold it wisely !

How did that happen ? Memo to myself, “ wake up before you post “.

The Four Tops - Baby I Need Your Loving

Ritchie Valens - Bluebirds Over The Mountains

The Yardbirds - Over, Under, Sideways,Down.

The Jam - Pretty Green In before you know who !

Great player though. In his prime it was like having two players in one.

The Drifters - Sweets For My Sweet

I remember him doing the same thing to the Forest centre half in that 7-0 home win.

Jimmy Soul - If You Wanna Be Happy

Howling’ Wolf - How Many More Years

What sort of fitness test did he have ? Here’s some darts son, see if you can get a treble, anywhere you like on the board ?

If he’s not starting against Stoke some serious questions should be being asked.

Nobody came out of that with much credit. Rice kept trying, Foden put a few nice balls through. Saka and Grealish were anonymous. Neither of the full backs got beyond them, which is supposed to be the plan. Maguire was just Maguire, an accident waiting to happen. How that “ collision “ wasn’t a pen only the ref knows. He made the other centre back look nervous. TAA went missing for most of the game, apart from a daft booking. He might be a central midfield player in his head but he wasn’t out on the pitch. Watkins never got a pass worth chasing. All in all a really pedestrian game, lacking tempo. Aiming to be No 1 team in the world ? They’re having a laugh. I was watching it laid on my bed and I could barely keep my eyes open.

Slim Harpo - Raining In My Heart

Mm, Matt was a tough centre half, as they all were in that era, but he didn’t really have a reputation for being “ over physical “. Ronnie was a gentleman, reasonably hard but fair, Mick McGrath was a terrier but not a dirty player. Keith Newton was just class, his ability alone subdued most opponents. Only Fergie of all the forwards would get stuck in if provoked. John Bray was the one who liked a scrap. I’ve told this story before but I managed to get into Ewood as a lad to watch a behind closed doors full scale pre-season practice match. Rovers first team attack v the reserves defence and vice versa. John Bray was marking Mike Harrison and he was kicking lumps out of him. Mike was constantly complaining to Jack Marshall, who was reffing, about John.
