Port Said Red

I am not sure that players think this way as much anymore. Players careers seem to be generally extending further into their 30's because of the improvements in the medical side, look at the players that are being bought on good contracts at 28, 29.30, also I think there aren't that many players who expect to be playing 40+ games a season, the squad mentality is kicking in.

I have had to go there a lot with work in the last year and I do quite like it and the people I was working for .But, how my heart would sink everytime I hit the road and saw a sign saying London 109 miles, knowing how far I was on the wrong side of the big smoke.

The lad from Chelsea alongside him makes him a bit better than he is these days.

3rd goal of the season, sure we would be happy with that.

Good to see them having do 120 minutes tonight, could have an influence on their game Saturday. The disappointment of losing might have been better though.

Remind me what was the name of that Italian chairman they had with so much honesty and integrity that he had been convicted of tax evasion?

I am shocked to find that this isn't common practice, it seems logical to me.

Did the guy who made the challenge get a yellow card?

I used to drink in the Hen and Chicken with acker and a few others all of whom did indeed "grow up" throughout the 80's, some later than others it has to be said.

I remember we got there early and were penned in one section of the away end, but as more and more arrived, they moved people across section after section until the whole end was filled. I also remember my dad who would have been well into his 60's then being the most excited he had ever been at the game. When Mardon's goal went in, he was jumping up and down for about a minute shouting "we've scored, we've scored". Absolute scenes!!! I was in that section of the old Open End that still had home fans in it, I stood at the very back against the railings. I was completely soaked from head to foot, through a coat a mac and other items of clothing.

Number one in Albania for 6 weeks..... You made it to 2.35? A big thank you from the rest of us for saving us from that. It's from 3 years ago, so if it hasn't yet......

Sorry @Miah Dennehy you are on your own mate.

Ah, so that's where all the bitterness and "rivalry" stems from is it?

I agree and I would imagine there are a few managers out there who will be breathing a sigh of relief that he is unlikely to be available immediately. When he wants to come back he will be top of a lot of lists.
