Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

I do follow my local team Cwmbach Royal Stars. You probably drive past quite a few to get to your club.

 

He would if he went

 

Just bought my Newcastle ticket

 

Go to the earl and chin them all

 

A few of us hoping to get tickets to Millwall away this year.

You done that?

 

They give the lower tier now so you’ll have plenty.

 

No, but Cryuff described McManaman as everyone's best partner while he was at Real Madrid (winning 2 x la liga and 2 x CL), and Zidane called him one of the highest quality players he'd ever played with.

McManaman would've still had a great career if he was around now, but Gazza would've had a career like Ravel Morrison.
Talent is nothing without the will to use it to it's full.

 

Why dont you get your arse down there chaos?

 

I don't drink and obi claims he's a black belt.

 

Yeah twice including last season.

I wouldn't bother if London Bridge is shut, the Met kettled us for about an hour and a half for the walk from Canada Water and we missed KO the ****s.

You going up to the Charlton friendly same day we're at Millwall?

 

Not drinking ain't an excuse to not to go a pub FFS.

I won't be drinking on day of game most likely.

 

This sounds like the sort of bollocks people say about Scholes.

 

What the **** has Southgate got to do with it

 

Called it a day (more or less) after 2015/16 in terms of going to the games - last one was the League Cup game where you failed miserably to get to our pub meet...

... but think Luv was meaning my journey to the in-laws in Wales ... which is still a pretty regular event

 

Did it twice in the 80s for FA Cup games... interesting time!

 

At least Scholes had an actual career, with success to back it up.

It's the one thing about Gazza that I'd go against, that he's described as a 'great'. He wasn't, he was merely a very talented footballer who, bar England, didn't even play at the top end of the game.

 

Can't argue with any of this. I love Gazza as a footballer but his career was very meh.

I don't agree with some who are saying he wouldn't have made it now though, young talent is handled very differently now than it was then and whilst in the 80's he was pretty much left to look after himself off the pitch people quickly realised once money flooded into the game that these assets needed protecting. Young players are looked after much more nowadays and it means someone like Foden gets to have a very different experience to the one Gazza had.

 

Lot of sense there fella ..

 

That's why I don't think he'd make it in today's game, as I can't see someone with Gazza's personality lasting in the regimented and controlled environment of the modern youth system, he would quit or get thrown out imo. I used Ravel Morrison as an example because he was supremely talented and wasted it.
