A good read, unlike 1962 when we ran out of steam, we now have a big squad of players. The 62 team limped from game to game before sadly surrendering to Ipswich having given their all. No chance of this happening this year, is there?

CleggHall

You can’t win matches without batsmen, too many inadequate all rounders in this team. When did Woakes, Jordan and Curran get scores to justify their places in the batting order?

CleggHall

Unusual to see someone like Rowls misuse the apostrophe s, or should it really be Rowl’s?

CleggHall

“The signing of the season!”

CleggHall

No other batters available, a poor show, Curran and Moeen only get runs when others have done the hard work!

CleggHall

Didn’t Albert Ackroyd play? Were ‘e injured?

CleggHall

A good report on a poor performance, you tell it like it is.

CleggHall

Yes a harsh red card but agree with CT that Rooney should have gone, he has an appalling record and it shows.

CleggHall

A good win eventually thanks to Malan, an unspectacular but effective 1 day player.

CleggHall

Too much cricket I fear and this looks like a 2nd XI, others in NZ and Hales earning big bucks elsewhere. Where is Livingstone?

CleggHall

Best wishes Mondsley, has all that cricket finally caught up with you?

CleggHall

Jeff Stelling sharply/wittily commented on Sky sports yesterday that it was his first senior goal!

CleggHall

Ingham a farmer’s son from Hebden Bridge claimed to support Burnley but, unlike Campbell, rarely attended matches in my opinion. Slagged off Liverpool supporters in Hillsborough disaster and refused to apologise. Not a nice man!

CleggHall

West Ham at Turf Moor, August 1959 took the lead by Connelly but lost 1-3 to a Hammers side possibly including Cantwell, Woosnam and Bond. Hooked since then.
Mondsley was at 1961 Chelsea game too, probably travelled on same coach as you from Littleborough.

CleggHall

When I first went to TM in 1959 and stood on the Longside everything seemed to be painted green and, apart from an odd scarf and rattle, there was little claret and blue on display except on the players’ shirts. Fences, turnstiles, railings and stands were all green, had Bob Lord got a job lot of gr...

Sorry, of course I meant 36 years ...

Didn’t they teach you arithmetic at QEGS?

CleggHall

Excellent result by St Helens, beating Penrith by drop goal (golden point) on their own patch.

CleggHall

Yes well argued piece, as he states, researched recruitment and Kompany have been key to our success. Contrasts with poor spending by Stoke when they were relegated. Let’s hope success continues today.

CleggHall

George Best, Tom Finney, Jimmy Mac in that order, the best 3 I saw play.

CleggHall

Jimmy’s figures, 7 - 4 - 10 - 2, what a bowler, at 40 he just keeps getting better!

CleggHall

A good TV report on a night where several players were misfiring and Muric’s howler was not the only one. I hope his half time substitution does not shatter his confidence and that our “reporter” is well enough to travel to Luton. Get well soon CT.

CleggHall

In Jimmy Mac and Tom Finney both clubs have produced 2 players in my top 10 ever. Arguable that Finney was the better player, a view that Mac (modestly) shared.

CleggHall

Royboy - agree with all your comments re Jimmy Mac, you and me were very fortunate to see him play on many occasions. The finest claret ever and probably the reason we are having this conversation/tribute some 64 years later.

CleggHall

Excellent article Tony, thanks.
I never really thought of Jimmy Mac as a goal scorer but the statistics show just how wrong I was/am.
Whatever, he was a fine magician.

CleggHall

“If you are watching Dave” - he was an English teacher after all!

CleggHall

A very fair video from Ipswich fan, a long way to come for a night match. Thanks to him.

CleggHall

“I told ‘em Oldham”!

CleggHall

But did aliens actually land in Todmorden?
Where - up t’ Lydgate, Eagles Crag, Stoodley Pike or on Bridgeholme’s pitch?

CleggHall

Heinz pea ‘n ham soup!

CleggHall

Last year’s Norwich match was so disappointing and unforgettable for all the wrong reasons culminating in Dyche’s sacking. Cornet’s time at Burnley will also be remembered for his appalling miss. A point today would help restore better memories.

CleggHall

Get better soon Rowls, your country needs you!

CleggHall

Yes a busy, productive transfer window, looking to the future and can only be good.

CleggHall

Heinz Pea ‘n Ham is excellent.

CleggHall

Summarising - nowt to write home about!
Football’s like that at times but a rare experience this season.

CleggHall

Charlton had several South African players in the 1960s, Eddy Firmani and Stuart Learie come to mind. I saw a few of them at Rochdale in an FA Cuptie.

CleggHall

Excellent, declaration of intent and shows our ambition.

CleggHall

Cornet will always be out, incapable of playing a full 90 minutes.

CleggHall

A clear, well-reasoned article, possibly Kompany has surprised himself too!

CleggHall

A bit harsh on the labrador!

CleggHall

“the man on the touch line knows what he’s doing” - I bet VK loves this ringing endorsement.

Another good report.

CleggHall

Sounds to be happy at Brentford having escaped stale Turf Moor, a good move for him.

CleggHall

JBG has been a new man this season, have our medical staff improved too?!

CleggHall

Wout looks a bit leggy and off the pace for the PL....again!

CleggHall

Early 1960s when I started drinking in Littleborough, mild was 1s 3d a pint, bitter 1s 6d.

CleggHall

Yes try climbing the steps at Newcastle and Sunderland as a 78 year old!
Knackering I’ll tell you.

CleggHall

A good read, a good result, a good game, Happy New Year!

CleggHall

Has been a reliable, consistent performer for several years, good luck to him.

CleggHall

We’ve had plenty of duck-egg refs lately!

CleggHall

Sunderland 2022 will surely appear on this list in future?

CleggHall

Massey’s bitter, brings back the memories!
