He used to mention us quite a lot at one time - always said we were his favourite first division team in his younger days

Just what I thought would happen. Easy to ban players at that level. There haven't been any such incidents in the Premier League this season where the referee has given a penalty for a dive. Video of the incident at http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11732/11089847/carlisle-striker-shaun-miller...

Carlisle's Shaun Miller has become the first player today to receive a two match ban for 'Successful Deception of a Match Official''. A penalty was given when he went down untouched but he appealed because he actually tried to carry on playing and made no attempt to ask for a penalty. He's lost the ...

I remember Man United once drawing Wrexham in one of the European competitions and they opted to stay at a hotel in Manchester. Unfortunately they couldn't because Uefa rules state they have to be in the country where the game is being played for a set period before the game. So they stayed in Cardi...

I haven't seen this mentioned yet after aquick search.

How about we’re currently 7th in the table and they’re where exactly...? Of course I’m being facetious, but I am asking what makes Everton a better option (club) now for SD and going forward?

Leicester did some extremely creative accounting Harry Rednaps dog would have been envious of, writing off millions of debt just a few years ago. By rights they should have joined Pompey in Div2 ,for breaching the financia regulations. They and Ipswich went into administration in the 2002/03 season...

Don't we also know that games can be scheduled on a Sunday (like Christmas Eve) with clubs having signed up to the television agreement allowing Sunday games?

Fred Smith still lives locally and he's one of two Burnley players I'm aware of born on Christmas Day (the other is Trevor Meredith), and he'll be 75 this year. He was usually deputy for John Angus but actually played just over half (22 out of 42) of the league games in that 1968/69 season. He playe...

If and when the manager does leave there is no doubt that Woan and Loughlan will go with him. Not sure about Billy though, he's been here now for closing in on 8 years. He replaced Phil Hughes following the exodus to Horwich.

Based on what exactly...? Financially Leicester are bigger, and they have a newer stadium, and they’ve won the league more recently...

Wonder if Liverpool fans will have an easier time getting back from their 7:45 kick off on Friday night rather than 4pm Christmas Eve. Obviously not, but it's not an argument because we know this can happen with clubs having signed up to the television agreement allowing Friday night games. Richard...

I’d say Fletcher was as good as any player I’ve seen in the air. For a player only around 5’9” his technique was superb.

All very subjective of course CT but if Haworth or Potts were manager of my team I 'd like to think they'd have them playing in a style akin to Barcelona than a battling team. Forgotten about Uwe and he would without doubt be on the bench with about 30 others! How blessed we are to have witnessed s...

Elder was strong and reliable and would be one of the subs but Newton was the most cultured left back I've seen in a Claret shirt. Defour was easy, I rate him the best technical player since Jimmy Mac. One day perhaps Sean will play him higher up the pitch and then we'll see him at his very best. T...

McDonald Angus, Adamson, Dobson & Newton. Connelly, McIlroy, Defour & James. Irvine & Pointer. If that side failed to finish in the top two of the Premier League I'd be very disappointed.

A game I almost missed. It was my cousin's wedding and there we were at the reception. Suddenly my dad said: "Come on, I've got a taxi. Get out before your mum notices."

Thought you'd have Irvine and O'Neil in your team. Looks outstanding I would have liked to have seen that team. Surprised Keane makes the bench though.
