Then as now it had absolutely sod all to do with the press. They are there to report news, not pass off their ill-informed opinions as something of importance.
I thi I think it was a bit more specific - and personal. The Daily mail chief (?) football writer was a personal friend of Bobby Moore , and the appoitment would have been a terrific scoop for him, the Mail. He was so furious , he set his sights against WFC from that moment. The rest, thay say, is history, as recorded in his continuous diatribe against us. And it continues on !
Jeff Powell wasn’t it … I believe Bobby Moore did have a couple of management jobs so wasn’t like he was totally forgotten about . Unfortunately died very young even at 51 I think so was never really involved in football after finishing playing was he in terms of an ambassador role?
Nearly a major upset in Scotland - a 93rd minute penalty saved Celtic's blushes by helping them to a 3-3 draw at Dundee.
Leyton Orient earn themselves a cup tie against Man City - beat Derby 6-5 on penalties. Some well taken penalties from both sides - until Derby's Australian defender stepped up and missed his.
Well I for one, will be there. Ticket arrived yesterday, hotel booked for Friday and Saturday nights. Goddaughter and family to take my mind off the purgatory of the bit between 3+5pm Saturday.
Yes it was. I didn't w ant to mention his name and then receive a 'cease and desist' letter from whoever !
RIP Denis Law. One of the great scorers in Britain. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckgvny01x9go Did he play in 1969 against us for what is our record attendance?
Same player missed 2 penalties for Sunderland or rather they were saved by Trafford of Burnley . TBF the Black cats players and fans consoled the striker involved . Just think of the abuses and criticism one of ours would get from some !
Cardiff now leading 3-0 against Swansea. It makes Watford's draw there now look a lot better than it seemed at the time on Tuesday (despite the dreadful standard of football).
It is so very sad when such events take place. Some of the recriminations about the lack of urgency should prompt questions to be asked within the club.
