Re: PREVIEW: Burnley go to West Ham having hit the bottom
Superb official programme at the top of the preview from the 1946/47 season at West Ham.......Just a mere 77 years ago!

Re: Everton points deduction reduced
Fair enough but the goal Luton scored was a foul on the goalkeeper. Reminded me of a goal scored in an FA Cup Final against Man Utd; but that was back in 1958.

Ian probably never scored a better goal, an absolute thunderbolt.

Yes, correct. We haven't found it this season or more importantly recruited it. The winter window was much better but too little too late and still didn't solve the issue in the middle of the park. All of which, surely, was the responsibility of one person. An absolute waste of a special season.
