Re: Driving Eye Tests
I'm 72 and have no issue with tests for the over 70's or lower, but would like to see a broader range of enforcement measures to improve road safety which targets dangerous driving usually by younger demographics.

RIP Willie. No one scored a goal with greater joy. When you got your goal to match Andy's five? I was so relieved. My memories as a youngster were watching you train down at Gawthorpe.

Re: Egan-Riley
CJ excelled in ST's defensive system where he had more time than he will get elsewhere. We will probably never know if he would have improved to EPL defence standards at both ends from defending set pieces and scoring at the other end. Genuinely prefer Michael Keane.

No! There was an away game at Hull City under Clive Middlemass that made me squirm. Then another at Notts County where we lost 1-0. In the warm up Adie Heath stood on one spot for 10 minutes with his arms on his hips like a double handled teapot.

Maybe it didn't happen but nobody has discussed the situation at Fulham where the owner's son was interfering in purchases and stuff.
That might explain why he left Fulham. Scott just show us what you can do.

I am not sure how anyone can assess Lampard against other candidates. He did well at Derby, very well in his first season at Chelsea. At Everton it needed the bouncers in. If Frank joins the project I would welcome him and I suspect so would most of the players.
