Champions League lowlights, November 3rd and 4th
Jammy Manc buggers. Oh well, at least it livened up the evening. I spent it watching Beşiktaş meekly raising the white flag against the VW boys, while flicking over to the surprisingly entertaining Madrid – Milan match.

Intro to ‘The Big Match’ 1978-79
‘The best thing about this era was…most all of the teams in the 1st Division were capable of beating anyone on their day, argues WELLBRAN. ‘What an interesting time! An open championship where anything could happen. As for the FA cup that was a free for all. The minnows would cheer if they got a [...]

Newcastle return to the top of the Championship.

Who the Hell is Aaron Hunt?
He’s the bugger who’s turned down mighty England in favour of lowly Germany, that’s who.

Hunt was born in Germany but he has an English mother and therefore qualifies to play for England. The Werder Bremen forward has been looking a bit tasty this season, scoring five goals in 11 games, attracting the attention of [...]

Sunderland v Leicester Fosse (1907)
Leicester who? That’s right, Leicester Fosse was Leicester City’s name from 1884 to 1919:
The name “Fosse” comes from the Roman Fosse Way that runs through Leicester. When the club started, they played near the Fosse Way. In 1919, Leicester Fosse went bankrupt, were taken over but a new group and renamed “City” to celebrate Leicester [...]

‘Great footage of Bobby Moore just getting on with it after defeat. No silly weeping or hysterics like we get today. In those days all the refs looked like your granddad and a great nancy boy push.

When Man Utd were crap: Man Utd 3 – 5 West Brom (1978)
For most West Brom fans, their team’s epic 5-3 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford just over 30 years ago is particularly memorable. For then coach Ron Atkinson, it represented one of the most bizarre half-time team talks he ever delivered.
‘I went in and told them that they didn’t deserve to be losing 3-2 [...]
