A generous viewpoint, I'd like to agree with you but I fear he's not so innocent or naive.

Tony Gale I think

I had to Google that and I still don't................................I'm very old mon frere

I personally have no knowledge of him but my friends in the construction materials business in Leicestershire, told me that he used to be a concrete block salesman.

@Wymsey Not like you to scoff mate. That was bloody hard work

I worked on that. The river diversion in the upper left was my contribution. Known as Salford Park groundworks.

If a gun seller has no idea that the purchaser is mentally challenged, he will make the sale. How would he know otherwise? BTW you don't have to be a dealer to sell a gun.

Steve Whitworth Keith Weller Frank Worthington Peter Shilton all played in Joe Mercer's England team

Lets' hope eh?

Oh joy, Gary Birtles is commentating on NBC

obstaculos... adjective. noisy or rough, esp in resisting restraint or control. Is that what you think of me assuming that's the word you were using?

I didn't say I knew what he would have done, I said I doubt it

The big difference is that Khun Vichai was in charge. I doubt he would have stood by and watched the dismantling all that he had built.

The Good. The Bad and The Ugly

Oops sorry

Maybe, but he is ultimately responsible for all departments under him, including Head of Recruitment. Someone has to be accountable, as DOF he is man in charge. Seems to me Rudkin has a lot to answer for.

Wow, what did you say? That's awful /

It's the arrogance of the man that galls me. He decided that he could match Blackburn with a third rate starting line up and win.

What a great guy he is. How we miss his leadership. I still believe he crafted the team that Ranieri managed to be Champions.

That is an illuminating view. Thank you.

I prefer Ratae, sounds more street than Fosse, which in it's way, don't.

There seems to be minimal perspective width difference between the edges of the white line as you look up the photo, Using photoshop ruler , I can detect maybe a point or two. Yet proportionally , the distance from the white line to the players is far more. This suggests to me that Spurs players were nearer to the white line than Barnes was.

Thank you Victor Meldrew

Good luck Marc. I have nothing but respect for you. You are a Champion.
