Some fantastic photos here https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...tures-manchester-united-scotland-huddersfield
Truly fantastic pics. I particularly like the early one in a Huddersfield shirt sitting in a dressing room after a game. Sat on an old slatted bench with mud all up his leg and what appears to be blood on the leg of another team mate. Exactly as I remember it...............
I’ve come home, turned on tv and landed on EFL Peterborough v Soton 2011. 4-4. Mmm brings back horrid memories of our capitulation there back in the day. Feature in this game though wasn’t ex bluebird Ricky Lambert scoring but Nathaniel Mendez- Laing getting a last minute penalty which Lee Tomlin notched.
Just watching the champions league highlights. A mid table PL side showing the gap to the top of the SPL. From the highlights, Schmeichel's heroics kept villa down to just the 4 goals. This worth a watch though. Felt sorry for Watkins, though he'd have pushed Johnny Wilkinson close. Ollie Watkins penalty miss Aston Villa v Celtic Champions League
I see the Jacks have lost Grimes now... Darling could be next to desert. More shocking though is the Northern Yankees spending again. Two strikers brought in in one day. Lad from Reading but also Jay Rodriguez from Burnley... They must be forking out a fortune in wages alone for him!!! Very much looking like poop or bust going on . Panicking a bit after recent results maybe??
How do they get around FFP? The Swans bitch and whine about lack of investment from their Yanks. A different story for the team in red. Both approaches could cause problems.
FFP was my thought... If they fail to go up, will they suddenly have to pull back on spending and offload players, or, will they get around it all with dodgy sponsorship deals, e.g. Reynolds whiskey company paying say £1m a year to have their logo somewhere or something?
I'm sure their 'welcome to Wrexham' documentary income will go into the club. It's still a chunk of change their spending though.
Loads of Cov fans in Porthcawl this morning enjoying early beers and beautiful sunshine while looking bewildered at something they are not used to seeing...... The sea!!!! Come on lads sing along "Swansea get battered everywhere they go". No sign of Robbie though.
He's in the queue outside Beales (sure I glimpsed Vince there as well). Nick Beale is probably doing the battering today, his dad Arthur was down on Newton beach again this morning with his dog picking up driftwood - that's him collecting the driftwood, not his dog. Such is the life of a retiree fish and chip vendor who was actually an electrician like me before he entered the family business.
One of the collies belonging to our daughter has a habit of picking up bits of fallen branches in one of our hedgerows then carrying them into the middle of the field and dropping them. Its a pain when you come to do any field work. Chunks of wood everywhere. Forever picking wood up.
