Off Topic Bill Nicholson Arms

LDL sums it up, I still have memories of a great day out at Old Trafford when Watford were drawn against Utd , I went with some mates and their parents in a coach put on by a local company, very early start ,stop off for breakfast and the game which Watford led until late in the game , pub stop on the way home and then we went straight to the ground to queue for the replay tickets .
Watford were my local club and at the time the were 2 divisions below Utd who had Best, Law,Charlton,Kidd and watford had Barry Endean and Rodney Green , over 50 years ago and a non Watford fan still loved that day

 

RIP Leighton James
Only 71
An exceptional footballer, who terrified defenders back in the day when lumps were kicked out of tricky wingers!

 

This stop start season is not helpful at all. If we get a result against Arsenal I'll be amazed.

 

Spoiler alert! We won't

 

Agree but not because of rustiness.

If anything it’s an advantage. Spurs have had plenty of time to work on defensive issues especially set pieces. I’m expecting to see a huge improvement with that on Sunday even though Arsenal are probably the best team at them in the whole league.

 

It’s a NLD. Form etc goes out of the window. It’s got 2-2 draw written all over it for me

Hope you’re right

 

Ok lads...be honest...did you get this right?

 

Yes...by picking the most stupid possible outcome. That sums up football perfectly right now.

 

I did! I've posted this rule on here before, discussing stupid rules that never come into effect.
Virtually any match official would get this because it's used to trip people up.
They wouldn't get "tripping an opposition player in the penalty box" though, apparently...

 

Michael Oliver would wave play on

 

Terry Medwin has died

 

The Club is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Terry Medwin, a member of our famous double-winning squad of 1960/61, who passed away this morning (Wednesday 1 May). He was 91.

A versatile forward who could play in all positions across the front line, Terry joined us from Swansea Town in April, 1956 and went on to make 215 appearances in all competitions for us, scoring 72 goals.

Terry made 15 appearances in that double season, contributing five goals, and then played his part as we retained the FA Cup in 1962 - he scored in the semi-final against Manchester United and played in the final win against Burnley.

Unfortunately, his career was cruelly cut short after breaking his leg in a tour match in South Africa in May, 1963. He fought on for two years before retiring in 1965.

Thanks to Terry he made his mark

 

Does this mean only Cliff Jones is left from the double side ?

 

No. Les Allen and Terry Dyson are still alive, too.

 

So saddened to read this. Another of our Glory Glory squad passed away. I liked Terry Medwin very much. RIP Terry. x

 

Of course, forgot about them boys Les is 86 and Terry 89

 

Les Allen 86!!! 4 years older than me! Its funny how you only remember people as they were when you last saw them!

 

May the 4th be with you

I don’t get Star Wars btw - totally confusing
