In Mexico 86 we played in the middle of their afternoons in ridiculous heat. I think we were at altitude in Guadalajara which made it worse for the group games.

Just when you think he couldn't be a bigger sell out.

Henderson on Qatar:

“When we were given the briefing, which was really important, it was quite shocking and disappointing,” said the Liverpool captain as he prepared for a role in Southgate’s midfield against Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday. “It’s horrendous really when you look at some of the issues that are currently happening and have been happening over there.



“As a team we’re just sort of digesting that, coming up with ideas of what we want to do going forward because it’s an opportunity to maybe shine a light on the issues and use our platforms to make change for the better.”

Wow!
Where did you get that from?
It'd be delicious if there was a complete list of Howard Webb's apologies how many, to whom, etc., ..... or d'you know someone at Stoke?

Well this is an entertaining watch

Maignon goes full Harry Schumacher...twice, then has the audacity to plead innocence when shown the red card.

Giroud goes in goal

Genoa keeper comes up and then....well watch for yourself.

Always remember Carl Shutt going in goal for Bradford (managed by Chris Kamara, no less) against us after about 20 minutes and he was bloody amazing. We only won 1-0.

Oh yes! He was excellent. Did he replace Aidan Davison?

On a similar note I remember Dean Richards going in against Stoke and being dreadful, think we lost 4-1.

Tom Bennett went in against Albion when Stowell (or was it Kendall?) Had his teeth knocked out. He did OK, his kicking was worse than Rui though.

Doherty went in away at Norwich, any others?

Jon Gould (son of Bobby) was the Bradford keeper, Iwan Roberts took a mighty swing at a ball around six yards out and kicked Gould's head instead.

Shackell went in nets for about a minute away at PNE when Hennessey got sent off (we were already 3-0 up).

Fairly sure it was Stowell who went off vs Albion, that massive donkey Paul Williams nailed him. Was Eric Young who managed to injure Stowell vs Stoke, nice work dickhead.

Gould didn't have much luck against Wolves, first thing he did for Coventry when Ogrizovic got sent off was pick out Venus's thunderbastard of a free kick.
