Signed a new 5 year deal at Villa Park £135k p.w.
Surprise really, thought United were coming for him.

Today is the Eightieth anniversary of TBOB, commemorated on the 15th September every year.
On this date in 1940, huge waves of Luftwaffe bombers and fighters were repelled, 60 being shot
down, along with 26 RAF and Allied planes.

Lest we forget.

It really wouldn't surprise me if West Ham came back in with an improved bid for him this week after their dismal show against Newcastle. Let's hope not.

ElectroClaret

I think Leeds will get enough points to stay up.
West Brom and Fulham will go, and either Brighton or the Hammers will go with em.

ElectroClaret

Bit of a stroll for Foxes. Baggies not offering much.

Parker's on a hiding to nothing at Fulham.
Surely they'll give him time.

Their poor defensive performance against Toon might mean they'll be back in for
Tarks with a renewed determined bid this week.

Still a long way to go. Let’s not get carried away about our start.

Well, it's not bad, is it?
Unbeaten.
No goals conceded.
Top half position.

Fab start.

That's another five million on their next bid for Tarks.

Great start.

They're brewed for taste of the local market.

Arsenal 3-0 up at Fulham

Fulham trying their best, but a distinct lack of quality on show from them, piece o p1ss for Gunners.
Early days though, but they'll do well to stay up.

ElectroClaret

Scrappy. Think the Arse will get a couple more though.

ElectroClaret

Bloody hell, he was good.

Would compensation be much of a barrier though?

To many clubs, a few million is chicken feed...

That was my first thought on reading this.
Doesn't seem much to pay for a top-line manager.

I think he'll stay anyway, though.

ElectroClaret

Gunpowder.

Watford 1 up.

Hooray! We're off again.
Don't hold out too much hope this one'll be a classic though.
Colin's 33rd season as a manager.

Nescafe 3-in-1 sachets.
Taste really good and saves a lot of poncing about.

Having one now, actually. V. nice.

Very successfully.

Ghastly.
Apart from that, words fail me....

Rovers away.

ER early today delayed the distribution of several newspaper titles, including the Sun, Telegraph and Daily Mail by blockading the entrances to three printing plants.

Legitimate tactic, or suppression of free speech?

Gotta be the famous 1970 World Cup ball with the black and white hexagonal panels.
Iconic ball.

If the frido ball popped, you could sometimes mend it with a fag end.

Bob Lord mentioned in his book that officials from Man United approached him shortly after the Munich disaster enquiring about the possibility of taking Albert to Old Trafford. He replied that, sadly, he could not hold out much hope of such a valuable player being allowed to leave Turf Moor. Never s...

Central heating? Bwahahahahaha!

Nowhere near cold enough for that.

VAR check, handball?

Goal stands.

I remember the PNE game probably because of that Dave Thomas goal. Christ, how much would he be worth now? Though its always difficult to compare the times.

Didn't go to to the Hull game, but I remember they used to have their own station at Boothferry Park, didn't they?
Very handy.

Just a heads up to say that the documentary Peter Green : Man of the World is on BBC4 at 9.30 tonight.
Been on before, but well worth watching.

They often do maintenance on the servers, but usually put up a warning that they're doing this when you log on.
Don't know if that may have been the problem.
Always been a good service for me (touch wood).

Try dealing with the gurning simpletons at TalkTalk if you want to experience bad service...

The Casper goal was brilliant.

Cirrus... Is it true the "RB" stood for Rolls Barnoldswick?
That's always been the understanding, I think.

ElectroClaret

Didn't we win at Villa Park 3-0 that season? I went to that game, but not sure if it wasn't either the season before or after.
Keith Newton scored a free kick, Taffy ran them ragged

Some great goals in that home game, by the way.

Conqueror.

Livened up at the end. Would have been a v. soft peno for me.

Another game littered with players feigning injury and trying to con the officials....
Why do they do it? Get on with the game and stop play acting!

Spot on. Wasn't a bad game, but the faking fouls stuff
was ridiculous.
