Ooooofft, that kid is ****ing special. We could very well be watching the rise of the next global superstar who’ll dominate the Balon d’Or for many years.
Lamal is 17. Not saying Mikey Moore is anywhere near as good as him but it shows age doesn’t matter if the talent is there. But Ange says Moore has hit a quota of minutes so won’t play again this season.
I can just picture that old Chelsea man that used to give Greavsie a "hard time" watching the Barca right winger,rubbing his hands and saying "see you soon dearte!"
Sunderland head into the play-offs with appalling form: DLLLLL. They face Fat Frank's Coventry, a side that they hate going back to 1977. Said hatred also involves Bristol City, who are also in the play-offs.
It was the last day of the 1977 First Division, when we went down, funnily enough. Sunderland, Coventry and Bristol City were all fighting to stay up, with the latter two facing each other. Their game had a delayed kick-off while Sunderland lost at Goodison. Coventry announced the Sunderland score over the PA, reportedly at Jimmy Hill's insistence. Both sides knew that a draw would keep them up, so they stopped playing for the last 15 minutes. Had either side lost then they'd have been relegated in Sunderland's place. Jimmy Hill was the managing director of Coventry at the time. He was part of the decision to delay kick-off, apparently. Both him and the club were later reprimanded in the form of a letter telling them off. Seems about right for our ****ty authorities.
Former PL rivals Bradford score in the 7th minute of injury time to win promotion in front of a 24,000 crowd. Only in England
Orient make the play-offs by winning six consecutive games. They'll face Stockport who nicked 3rd place from Wycombe by beating them at their own ground. The hosts were 1-0 up with twenty minutes to go and lost 3-1.
The game didn't actually finish until about 10 minutes after this post! Everyone went mental and thought it was over, so they couldn't restart the match. Imagine if they'd have let in an equaliser...
