Fell asleep in the second half. Just seen Watkins goal. Amazing what you can achieve when your striker makes forward runs into space.
FFS you miserable bast@rds! we are through to the final! wake up people and go and hug your neighbour and enjoy this moment and get behind our team! its gonna be a belter and i cannot wait
It had better be dry here in Derbyshire when the final is on. Cool and damp yesterday evening. No good for hooning.
I remember when playing footie as a kid we all picked who we were & I always fancied meself as a Peter Lorimer - he of the 90 mph penalty. But I soon came to realise Leeds were just the team to hate at the time.... and guys like Billy Bremner made it all the more easy
As mentioned in a previous post I don't think it'll be the cakewalk for the Spanish some will have you believe. True, it won't be easy and we'll have to be a lot better organised defensively (who does lead the back line I wonder, Stones?) but what with their forward looking outlook they may give us enough space to work in. We do need pace up front mind.... And someone creative in midfield.... Plus a disrupter in midfield.... Hmmm..... keep the faith C'mon England!!!
Those heady days of muddy pitches, heavy lace up leather footballs, and hard men like Norman Hunter remind me of when I was a kid Boro bought a midfield player called George Kinnell from Sunderland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kinnell The song that rang round Ayresome Park at the time to to the tune of “She’ll be coming round the mountain” was “Oh we paid £20,000 for Kinnell, Oh we paid £20,000 for Kinnell, Oh we paid £20,000 Paid £20,000 Paid £20,000 for Kinnell”
Why are goalies almost always a bit spesh? My dad was one and my son is one, so I've a lifelong double dose of it. One of my lames to fame is that my boy has trained with Pickford at Lilleshall and is happy to report that he is a lovely bloke, albeit a bit of a live wire.
