Good knowledge, didn’t know that about the Tango but googling it is interesting. The two previous tournaments used the adidas Telstar then Telstar Durlast (sounds like a condom that one), but Tango was the first of the modern balls as we know them, much less water absorption and so on. Wasn’t...

That conditioning has been diluting for a long time, a lot of younger people don’t give a shit and are much more confident in vocalising it in a way a lot of the older people who felt that way were unable. Much to do with social media and the digital age of course. The whole house of cards is...

Yes, was a Sunday evening. Google says 7pm ko. We’ll all have world cups we reminisce fondly about for all sorts of reasons but that one had it all. Ally’s army cocking up it up against Iran, Peru and the aforementioned Cubillas taking them apart also before the Holland game and that Gemmill...

Loved that World Cup, first one I properly remember and to this day the most into. Crackly commentary on the satellite link up, ticker tape, Kempes, Ardilles and so on. Hell of a Dutch team too getting beaten in the final (again). Ticking a lifetime box and will be at the Estadio Monumental on...

Yep, ‘78, what World cup that was and what a team Peru had. They took a very good (by their standards) Scotland apart and embarrassed them. Teofilo Cubillas scored two but his first was a phenomenal free kick. Cubillas and Peru owned the sash kits from then on, with everyone else still playing...

CP 1 - 1 WW

Charlie is going to be shitting himself too. This isn’t stopping and he’s going to end up in the crosshairs regarding the cover up and his role in that, including the 12 mill.

Google says he does, and he’s got his navy pension approximately 20k. That’s say 27 grand a year, should get by fairly comfortably when he comes out of chokey and only has to pay for a room in a hostel.

Not just any birthday either. He should be given a kick in the bollocks and told all funding ceases with immediate effect and he’s needs to get by on his state pension.

24 hours in Police Custody is going to be a bloody good watch with a coffee and packet of digestives.

Colors. Bloody hell. That film came out a couple of months before I moved to LA as a young guy to seek my fame and fortune (found lots of things but neither of those) and it did make you stop and think tbf. There was a lot of publicity around the film at the time and pretty sure my parents...

W 0 - 2 A

Did get a ticket a little while back. Nightmare London traffic, stopped at lights, second in the queue, tight behind the large van at the front (no visibility other than the rear of the van). Everyone does the traffic light Grand Prix when they change, but it’s straight into a box junction and...

Going to own this one and no sympathy sought but wondered about thoughts of the likelihood of points and a fine… Very busy crossroads quite close to here that has red light cameras, plus a speed camera. It’s also where the Ulez zone starts so has those cameras too, plus the full safety cctv...

I let my membership lapse last season as it no longer seemed necessary and got tickets to the half dozen or games including three London aways without any bother. Funnily enough has been harder this year with no joy on the London games, although iirc there were some right crappy dates and kick...
