Have City outscored Tyrone and Fermanagh combined?

You’d make some wing forward out of Leroy if you’d toughen him up

There’s an indescribable beauty about Virgil van Dijk.

He looks like a male version of Sade. (cc: of @anon61878697).

Actually, Mo Salah, as I have pointed out before, is the spit of Chrissy from Boys From The Blackstuff. It’s great to see the tradition of the Scouse beard and perm kept alive.

I predict Burton Albion will beat Manchester City 4-3 after extra-time in the FA Cup semi-final.

there was a dublin minor football team in the 80’s from an old Gael Sport annual i was looking at over christmas who looked like middle aged men
In football today’s central players look like women for example Vigil von dyke, yer man Guendouzi and david luis- compare that to the likes of Paul Bannon and Gino Lawless or Terry Eviston you’d see with that old addidas ball on the sports pages of the cork examiner in the 80’s on a winter monday

Thursday is probably their dole day. Cant really blame them.

Sidney · January 9, 2019, 10:12pm

What was the 9-1, mate?

Perry Suckling was in the goals when Liverpool put 9 past Palace. I’d say that was 1989. I was watching it on the telly in the Hut in Phibsboro

Sidney · January 9, 2019, 10:13pm

September 1989. John Aldridge scored a penalty in his last game for Liverpool.

I don’t recall it being on television.

Fagan_ODowd · January 9, 2019, 10:16pm

It may not have been on the telly. Bob the barman may have to.d us the result when we came in from playing snooker.

Bod95 · January 9, 2019, 10:17pm

Highlights were on Sportsnight from what I can recall

Sidney · January 9, 2019, 10:18pm

I’d wager Liverpool scored more goals that night than your highest break.

Liverpool v Tottenham at the end of October was the first live ITV game that year.

Sidney · January 9, 2019, 10:19pm

BBC didn’t have the rights to Football League games from 1988 to 1992.

Perry Suckling fairly threw that fourth goal in.

Ashman · January 9, 2019, 10:22pm

Was Nigel Martyn on Palace books then ? He played in 1990 cup final I think .

GeoffreyBoycott · January 9, 2019, 10:22pm

Pep fails to join Mel Machin in the pantheon of Manchester City managerial immortality.

Sidney · January 9, 2019, 10:23pm

Open to correction but I think he signed for them not long after, maybe around October '89.

Ashman · January 9, 2019, 10:23pm

You can see why .

Tassotti · January 9, 2019, 10:24pm

the best team England has ever seen

Locke · January 9, 2019, 10:24pm

Loved that style on the Liverpool togs. Had that style in black and white back in the day.
