I've just had that for my tea...
Always a true gentleman, RIP. Just like the Earth will lose all the men who have walked on the Moon, England will have lost all those that ever won the World Cup. Sobering, and I'm not even an England fan.
Should have mentioned he scored that 'other' goal in the final, of course, the second. As you say, Howard, always a true gentleman, and I'm by no means a West Ham fan.
That was a tough game. I think Liverpool just wore them down eventually though.
Almost, although I’d say a draw in that game would have been a better result for Liverpool in a way, as I still think City are the biggest threat, despite how good Leicester have been this season.
I remember winning promotion there to lift us from the third up to the second tier!
Blyth are managed by the self-described "top top manager" Lee Clark, so that ought to be an easy one!
How is it supposed to be said - Middles-bruff? Or Middles-burrow? Mind you, Brits can't even get a short one like Bury right. It's Burry, not Berry.Blyth are managed by the self-described "top top manager" Lee Clark, so that ought to be an easy one!
Our inability to perform against the teams around us (and an £8m striker managing to miss from three yards out) cost us today, along with ongoing injuries meaning we fell to a sloppy 1-0 defeat to the Smoggies.
Genuine question for those from the area: why are people from Middlesbrough so insistent that people don't add an extra "o" to the name of their town, yet regularly refer to their football team as "Boro"? Pick one and stick to it!
It should be Middles-bro. And woe-betide any non-Smoggie who says Middlesborough, even though they themselves sing it wrongly every week!
They did, after we lost our only experienced midfielder (Jonny Hogg) after 22mins and didn't really get going until after the break... missing two gilt-edged chances in the second half didn't help either. At least one point dropped, but that's football.

Yep, though it's now 8 years since he left Huddersfield having failed twice in the play-offs despite being given a huge (for the 3rd division) transfer budget which he used a scatter-gun approach for.
