    Saw an interesting comment today - 'last time we had a run like this, nobody had heard of the Beatles or Bill Shankly'. Sobering thought.

    Or Roy Hodgson? The difference, I suppose, is that Hodgson never had a stellar cast of players like Slot does.

    I think the point is that the last run we had like this was 1953.

    (Hodgson may have just been starting primary school ;))

    You're kidding - Hodgson was probably doing his National Service in Korea in '53. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    All the Beatles, except Ringo, despised football, and Ringo was an Arsenal supporter. Macca is a nominal Toffee, but has attended matches for both clubs. But I can tell you that, having met him and briefly spoken to him about football (how the **** is that for a name-drop?), he doesn't know one end of a football from another. He does genuinely want both teams to do well, though - he reminds me of my late, Blueshite mum. She didn't write Eleanor Rigby, though.

    They used to tell us in Ye Cracke that Lennon was a half-hearted Red, but I think that's because one of his mates (Pete Shotton?) was.

    Pete Best is supposed to be an Everton fan, according to my sister, who knew him back in the day. :emoticon-0145-shake
