    Bruv Sledge, is it really that long ago. I can always remember having a few beers with him at various watering holes.

    Hope you're OK my man.

    Sending you a virtual hug <3

    Ironically, it's Glioblastoma Awareness Day today. Not that you or I need our awareness raising :-(

    If I believed in a big Boleyn Arms in the Sky, I'd like to think Sledge and Grey might be watching the match later with a beer or two.

    One of the few Liverpool players I liked as I was growing up in the 70s .Even pretended I was him on the school playground .RIP and thanks

    Fame didn't change his personality in the slightest, which is a rare quality indeed. If I had to name someone who personified 'Britishness at it's best', it would be Kevin Keegan.

    Indeed, such as when he went over on a bike on a cinder track I think it was on Superstars, and got up, covered in friction burns and grazes, and went again.

    I saw an interview someone put up yesterday in which he said he is remembered for three things, his hair, his rant as Newcastle manager and falling from his bike in superstars. I also remember him for his move to Hamburg, which seemed exotic back then and gave me an interest in European club football.

    I also remember him winning (I think) European Footballer of the Year twice while at Hamburg, and then there's the connection he always seemed to have with Sir Trev whenever they played together for England.

    Wouldn't have affected us this season anyway, but if we win promotion at least we won't have to worry about this clown being in charge of us again:

    I started to write it all up, but we’d just been relegated and I thought nobody would care!

    I’ll share it later today

    A good response from UEFA, (t's the same argument we needed when we decided sell of our utilities.)

    Infantino is as corrupt as they come and I would hope UEFA will go further and refuse to be a part of FIFA whilst he is in charge due to a lack of confidence. There is no Fifa product without the European and South American teams.

    UEFA will never leave FIFA but Infantino could be finished

    Bad news; Qatar’s Nasser al-Khelaifi is being considered as a replacement for Infantino
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Infantino has had to scrap his plans:

    Uefa really not pulling their punches:

    "The shabby, back room, opaque deal he hatched and tried to force through were anything but transparent."

    Anybody tried to look at the club site recently? I was trying to browse and it kept defaulting to the log in page.

    Even after I'd logged in...
    ;doh
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    I just watched the highlights of the pre-season friendly on the site and it was fine for me.

    It appears they are all games also being covered by Sky. It would be nice if BBC, ITV or any other channel could cover matches not also on a subscription platform.

    Looks like we have negotiated some ground improvements for allowing agreeing to the bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships.

    Freddie Potts is in the starting line up for Brugge.

    Just watched a ‘ Big Match’ highlights replay of West Ham vs Bolton in the 1979-80 season on ITVx.

    What a player Alan Devonshire was.

    Could do with him on the left this season
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    I think he may have slowed down a tad. ;)
