    Yeah you're not wrong Spurf. I was going to mention our 2011/12 team as being quite similar to the 81 side (King, Kaboul, Bale, Modric, Parker Rafa, Ade) but was afraid of being ridiculed as they never actually achieved any form of success - though they bloody should've done when you consider the talent on show.

    Wasted by Redknapp's weaknesses unfortunately - bit of a red rag to a Boss that comment I suppose.

    Do you know?I can remember actually cheering for Man United.Yes,really. I was much younger and innocent in those days (!) and watched them win the European Cup in 68.
    I can actually see their future coach galloping down the right wing like a cart horse and crossing for Robert Charlton to flick home a goal.

    I'm feeling much better these days!!!!!!?

    I still find that funny when Atkinson was commentating and a player (forget who) made a meal of going to ground from a tackle. Might need the trainer said the match commentator to which Atkinson replied not so much a medic more a Drama Critic. LOL

    It would be interesting to hear him commentate on Ashley Young.

    I miss that sort of commentary. It seems these days all the media channels want are former footballers with expert analysis that bore the living day lights out of you. I mean Michael Owen?! Mark Bright?! Clark Carlisle?! Do me a favour. Though Andy Townsend is the biggest knobber of them all.

    I wouldn't mind having commentators similar to the Arabic or Brazilian ones, absolutely superb when goals are scored. "Goalalalalalalalaloooooooooooooool! Adebayoooooooooor! Emmanuel Adebayoooooooooooooooor! Goaaaal, goaaal, goaaaaaaaal!"

    It seems the newspaper writers of today have gone down the tube.I can remember Desmond Hackett of the Daily Express giving Spurs hell (and he wasn't the only one either) for our poor performance in the 1st leg of the European Cup v Gornik.We played bad and at one time were 4-0 down but we came back late to score twice to make it 4-2.
    Mind you,all those critics and reports brought some chaps at the 2nd leg dressed as Angels walking around the pitch and those same reporters were groveling on their knees after our 8-1 performance.
    Anyway,the writers seemed to be more readable than todays writers!
    I can remember a writer,for the Daily Mirror I think,who called himself "The Man You Can't Gag! In his case we wanted to.Can't recall his name now......
