Spurs are 8 points clear of 7th spot so a defeat tonight shouldn’t do too much damage in that quest for top 6

We still pretending sixth is the goal? This year’s title is for the taking. No European football and City not as strong arguably as usual. Salah going to Al-Ahalalalala in January. Arsenal being Arsenal. It’s yours if you carry on going.

Yeah that was great. Lawrie Sanchez celebrating in some **** room under the stand in a rain-soaked banker’s coat after calling a linesman a bent nonce for bottling a penalty call.

that was before Leicester had world class Yoof. Having to sell Maddison who had been with them since birth to make room for someone with a double barrel name.

Was a good Lesta team from memory from that era if not that game. Izzet was a good player ruined by injury, Lennon and Savage were ability-free enforcers kicking the **** out of people and you had hard as **** blokes like Gerry Taggart and Matt Elliott just kicking lumps out of folk too. I think Heskey would’ve moved on by then but he was a good poor man’s Les Ferdinand at the time. Steve Guppy got an England cap around that time too I think, Collymore was there maybe at the time, Ian Walker, Ian Marshall. All decent players for the time.


Edit- just looked it up and they had Akinbiyi and Dean Sturbridge up front with Trevor Benjamin on the bench so not that good at all.

Was a **** team ... otherwise your comments were pretty much there on the earliest lads with the distinct exception of Neil Lennon - superb technical footballer - we only got him (from Crewe) because he failed his medical at Liverpool due to some issue with his back - fused vertebrae I think ...

Saw Lennon's debut at Reading - came on as a second half sub and him and Garry Parker had a spell where they just passed and moved to each other - 5 or 6 passes - both of them a joy to watch, Reading players chasing shadows ... added Izzet soon after - cracking midfield - Robbie Savage mainly just a sub behind those guys ...

Second time that a failed Liverpool medical gave us a club legend ... Frank Worthington the first ...
