Re: Old Timey Football Thread

This is the 1930 FA Cup final (Arse / Hudds) being photobombed by the Graf Zeppelin, it took approx 15 minutes to pass over the stadium. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BSx49UgIIAA8i6n.jpg And a colourised alternative from the opposite corner https://scontent.flhr4-4.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-0/s600x600/2...

Re: Best/Worst Pundit

Royal Rother One of the most impressive has been HRK. :shock:

Articulate, doesn’t talk in cliches, calm and confident. Impressive. Should find it easy to get a placement when his playing days are over.

If he wants one - I suspect he'll be more interested in expanding his health supplements range

Re: Best and worst of 20/21season.

Don't know about best and worst but I'm watching the Huddersfield playoff final being rerun on Sky. Jesus, forget just how bad it was watching Stamball. How did we ever survive 90 minutes of watching this crap let alone finish third. You can actually see that how easily it went wrong for Stam once ...

Re: Who do you WANT to win the play-offs?

Brentford, Barnsley, Swansea, Bournemouth in that order No animossers towards any of them, at all, I just disapprove of the three relegated teams all going straight back up. Plus Brentford really have set a good example of what can be achieved using a "Reading Way" style of thing, much bet...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by Yakubu

Watching us win 2-1 at the Baseball Ground in 1994 with our last fit 14 players (front two - Gilkes + Scotty Taylor, they both scored) remains one of my highlights as a loyal Royal.

Re: Arriving to games late

We beat Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park in 1995, we were already 1-0 up when I got in, and it was 2-0 shortly afterwards. This game was notorious at the time as Robert Codner bossed the midfield for us and Paul Holsgrove was outstanding playing as a sweeper, two facts which people familiar with those tw...

I took one of them cardboard glasses things with me that you can put your mobile telephone into. I hit play as our game kicked off today and I watched our 4-0 demolition of Stoke from 94/95.

I had a similar one to Ayjaydee - me and a mate went to watch the reserves play at Highbury. The first team match was off so Porterfield played the first team. Arsenal reserves had Hillier, Dickov and Tony Adams who was playing his first match since leaving prison. He was marking Super Trev, who sco...

£½m for Sean Evers.

£700k for that right winger from York City was a lot as well, whatever his name was.

Re: FA Cup Final thread

bobbybottler Anyway, Wigan have so many out, and will be taking it easy in order to save themselves for their remaining Prem fixtures, plus Manchester City will need to win this to cover their league shortcomings - it's an obvious pick of Manchester City.

Glorious, I'm not going to let this one go.
