Booooooooooooooo!

Wolves and Liverpool were just about safely through and then the world turned upside down in the last minutes. 
 

Chap called Amad Diallo scored in extra time to equalise then got the winner a minute later. Bring him home.

EDIT. Got carried away. He only scored the winner. Not good enough.

Rashford got the et equaliser.

The OT pitch was like Wembley in May.

United sensational for fifteen minutes, 1-0, Liverpool dreadful for forty then it all changed. 2-1 to the scousers at HT.

What a day. Wolves v Coventry, Wales v Italy, a bit of Ireland v Scotland, Manchester City v Newcastle and now France v England. Best of all, Mrs 7 is working so peace to watch it all.

The Coventry against Spurs must have been one of the best finals ever back in the 80s

One of the most surprising except maybe Southampton, Wimbledon, Sunderland and Birmingham City.

So not all that surprising really.

In the quarter finals, Wolverhampton Wanderers 2, Coventry City 3.

Coventry led 1-0 until the last ten minutes. Wolves scored twice and packed their defence but lost two goals in added time. 
 

Lesson: do your defending in the opponents’ half, not your own.

Jimmy Gordon of the Rangers. He’s the stalwart chosen by Maryhill BC to feature in their banner.

I'm surprised the media hasn't already started to undermine Philippe Clement. He's had a 5 month honeymoon but it won't last and it's only a matter of time before he gets a target painted on his back. Hopefully he knows this is inevitable and is ready to see it for what it is.

The media fawned over Dick Advocaat until they discovered that he wasn’t going to fawn over them and possibly worse, was going to be very successful.

My Dad rates the 1962 side as best ever, the 1st side I remember was from 1974. 

 

Read alot about the 1970 and know they are highly rated! 

I think your dad could be right.

Best ever Brazil team?

Could be. Better than the 1962 side? Maybe.

Third of the thirties Ms, Meiklejohn, Morton and Bob McPhail, referred to by McCoist as “Mr McPhail”.  McPhail’s book is worth a look.

David Meiklejohn, another of the great captains.

Thats all good news. More so on Sterling. How Beale didnt even play him is beyond me

On the occasions when Beale did pick Sterling, I don’t remember much praise for him here.

Shave the beard and that’s Bobby Shearer.

The truly great R. C. Hamilton, Elgin City, Queens Park, Rangers and Scotland, a couple of small clubs then ending his football career on a high back at the City.

Captain of the cricket club, businessman, educationalist and Lord Provost of Elgin.

Relegation of Everton is not necessary for the scouse greetin’.

City v Arsenal apart, all three should win every one of these games. A City victory over Arsenal or even a draw and the title goes to Anfield.
 

On the other hand, things don’t usually work out the way you think they will. If they did, bookies would be paupers.

Mighty Don Kitchenbrand. The ball must go into the net, the ‘keeper as well if need be and the centre half too, just to make sure.

Thoroughbreds now by a nose.

A Citeh win means the season is over.  

For Liverpool, I hope but not for the Gunners, thoroughbreds coming up on the rails.

He did indeed but the Gunners go top.

A draw at Anfield tomorrow and they’ll stay there.
