They both had very interesting managerial careers too.

You couldn't help but admire a player who put so much into his game. There were more skilful players around, but few showed his determination to succeed. Just a pity that he had little chance to shine in World Cups, but he made up for that with a huge media presence. By all accounts he always made time for autograph-hunters and fans. Kudos and RIP

If resources were allocated to "the Midlands", where do you think they'd end up? Birmingham/Coventry/Stoke or Nottingham/Leicester/Northampton?

Turns out you know football better than most! kudos.

Injustice? An England player (I think it was Fenwick) should have been sent off if the ref had spotted him elbowing Maradonna. And that second goal was justly named the best ever. So yes, poor refereeing, but we lost to a superb display by a legend.

Could he seek re election in Clacton as vote of confidence from the ordinary folk vs establishment?

Surprised (unless I missed one) there's no one who suggests Fire by Kasabian. < reads lyrics > Oh.

World's moved on. Can you imagine Reagan, Carter or even Nixon getting away with the corruption that takes place with theDon?

yeah, we were told by a delivery company today they are short staffed because of drivers calling in sick.. I suppose it's better that way than drivers (or surgeons) still under the influence after staying up late for the game.

At least he'll be in a place where he can research/solve that eternal culinary issue - who has the best Indian restaurants, Bradford or Leicester?

Used to be the case most of the pubs would close at the weekend. More stay open now because of tourism and the gentrifiers moving into the East End. Worth checking the fbook group London Pubs as they often have posts on good pubs in distinct areas.

Given the numbers here who mention this place, there must have been some kind of Tardis effect. We'd often come in here once we'd parked up prior to the match, but it rarely felt over-full. Away fans would often be found in there too.

Seemed to have a great rapport with the fans, particularly the Koppites. Never quite the same after Shrewsbury nobbled him.

Some nice stormy wet weather this morning, 4 to 5am, on the south coast near Hastings. Now mainly cloudy but feeling very warm in any sunshine.

We didn't have any choice, but selling Kante for £30 million was the worst.. still we rinsed Man U for Harry so swings and roundabouts..
