Reply | George Foreman has died.

One of my greatest celebrity encounters was being in a lift in a hotel in LA and George Foreman got in. I’d had a few and involuntarily said to my mate “George F-kin Foreman!”
He was a total gentleman. His first response was “now you’re not going to ask me for a grill are you?” |

Surely Jimmy Dunne by miles. Honourable mentions to Smyth and Nardi. Nobody else has stayed fit for long enough.
A weird season once again |

While we did a great deal getting 2m for Sinclair, right now I’d take Sinclair Armstrong and another 1m forward over Celar.
Really hope he doesn’t get any abuse in the home game, he tried his eccentric bollox off for us and earned us money. Despite his obvious limitations one of the most exciting players we’ve had in a while |

I saw Paul Parker yesterday as well in the Ellerslie Road concourse - a day for returning legends |

Dunno how anyone can walk away from that game feeling grumpy.
Maybe it didn’t come across on the stream but the whole team worked their bollocks off today and for once we competed in midfield, thought Colback and Edwards were excellent against a strong team and Andersen played his part too. Frey was his usual industrial self but didn’t stop for 90 minutes. A lot of snidey fouls by us too including Saito’s red which to me is a good thing, we looked really up for it today
A good open game and we could have won it - we had a couple of breakaways where a a better ball would have left them wide open. We could also have lost - after their second goal we sat back and got battered for 30 mins.
Lovely sunny day, pubs packed, enjoyable game to watch, gave the champions elect a proper game and Jimmy Dunne did a 360 pirouette in injury time and almost set up a winner. I’d have taken that all day long [Post edited 15 Mar 19:30]

No Field or Varane has made an already fairly patchy midfield non existent.
It’s like we’re playing in a big circle with the ball. Never ever goes inside, just round the edges.
The ONE time we somewhat fortunately go inside via Yang we almost score.
We’ve turned down easy inside balls so often and it’s driving me mad. Why? |

Another one who went to Mount Carmel in Ealing and then Latymer.
Felt like a fish out of water for years there but got to like it in the end. It’s quite the place these days, not a chance I can send my kids there!
The playing fields were great, still there although I got an email the other day to say the school are moving to a new ground, they’re going to keep them as playing fields though and other schools are to use them.
Used to love the runs round the river, the “bandstand” and the “Briault Cup” |

They've tried this before, anyone at the first Sky game at Maine Road?
At half time on a shitty Monday night in Moss Side Sky brought out fireworks, cheerleaders and Undercover to do his crap cover version of Baker Street, while the whole crowd either ignored it or told them to fk off.
I think it lasted a few weeks before they quietly binned it |

My first ever gig! Roy at Ronnie Scotts in 1988. Was only 14 and quite the eye-opener.
RIP Roy |

That’s called Ark Franklin these days and seen as the school all the new loaded transplants to Queens Park fight to get into.
Amazing how the whole area has changed
My kids are about to head off to QPCS, alma mater of Ozzy Kakay. Anyone go there? [Post edited 5 Mar 19:55]

Now the season feels over felt a bit detatched from today’s game.
We definitely deserved something, draw would have been a fair result. They looked good and I think they’ll go up but we lived with them and lost to better finishing plus weak defending in the air for both goals. Letting the ball bounce for the second goal was not good enough but what a finish.
Their lanky 21 in midfield was excellent and if only Madsen had turned out like him |

Odd not to do it in the close season.
Been going there for over 40 years now for Rangers games, other pubs don’t feel the same. There was that weird period in the early 2000s when they banned football fans, that didn’t last long.
What’s everyone’s alternatives then? Probably The Adelaide for us |

Sadly I think that’s looking less likely every season - he seems happy at Palace, they’re starting to do well and his star faded a bit after his spell at left back during the Euros (thanks Gareth) |
