It's been like that for a few years now. Still, at least they've stopped that utter nonsense of playing it before the end of the league campaign.

Well yeah, i thought now it was back with the BBC and there being no other football a bit of common sense would have prevailed, it's gonna be a long day for the beeb.

Still, weather permitting, i'll be watching the cricket untill 5:29.

Its 30th May tomorrow, the football season should have been done and dusted weeks ago. It has caused havoc with local cricket, as the Vile have had two home games on Saturdays when league cricket is played and on top of that the bar stewards are in the cup final too :argh: !!! My own club has five season ticket holders so on a Saturday when they are at home we have to drag the young the old and the infirm off the streets to play.

The one good thing about the 5.30 kick off is that our First Teams game goes ahead at 11.00 in the morning so that the Vile fans without tickets can finish in time to watch the game.

Fuck knows what will happen if Qatar 2022 goes ahead.

Phil Neal: Asked some questions ahead of the Heysel Disaster Anniversary. Other players we also interviewed but here is what the man had to say

Phil Neal
Then: Liverpool captain, 34
Now: Merseyside Radio commentator

I'd rather forget that night. It was an ordeal. But, Jamie, why should I help you out? I'm helping you pay your mortgage [by talking to you about Heysel]. When people ask me for my view, they usually have to pay for it. You're asking for my help for nothing. To pay your mortgage, Jamie. I mean, what do you want from me?

I just thought that as the captain of Liverpool football club on that night at Heysel it would be good to hear your view?

Yes but what do you want from me? If I talk to you for a few minutes, then I'm helping you pay your mortgage and what am I getting in return? Do you know what I mean?

Well, I have been to Italy and talked with some of the families of the victims and they say that the trophy should be given back by Juventus to commemorate what happened.

About Juventus? Why are you asking me? Why are you asking someone on the Liverpool side? Juventus made amends very soon. Ask them ... Jamie I'm helping you pay your mortgage. People who want my views pay.

I'm sorry, but everyone else I have spoken to has ...

Great. So you've spoken to people, you've got your views. You've got your Liverpool view, but if you want mine for free, well people pay for them.

What a twat!

 

[NoodleWolf]

Wow. Classy guy.

 

[Mixu]

Phil Neal trended on Twitter because of that article. Presumably, Graham Taylor had trended ten minutes earlier.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No real surprise but Rio Ferdinand has retired.

 

[Nando]

A truly magnificent defender at his peak.

 

[Jolemai]

I can understand why his heart is no longer in it, but surely he could still command a ridiculous wage in either Italy, America or Qatar?

 

[jd1981]

I think he may just want to have some quality time with his kids after his wife's death.

We'll be playing in the Emirates FA Cup from next year.
