  1. I don't fancy anyone on the Paddy Power book except just maybe Jimmy Calderwood to try to get us to a level of basic competence but then what?

     

    A better idea is to 'phone Conte at Chelsea, play the Blues Brothers card and ask if he knows anyone good looking for a challenge.

  2. Tommy Gemmell was the first attacking or "overlapping" fullback that I can think of in Scottish football just as Danny Ferguson of the Hearts was the first defensive forward.

     

    But if its hipster fullbacks you're looking for Tiger Shaw and Bobby Shearer are the men you want.

  3. Magpies, Wednesday, PNE, Villa, Forest, Wolve all big names from Sports Report on the wireless in the distant days of childhood. No telly then, so your "visuals" came from cinema newsreel a week out of date and the magazine Charles Buchan's Football Monthly. Superb photography most of it black and white.

     

    Get rid of the Norwiches, Sotons, Stokes and Palaces and that poncey Chelsea and bring back these great names plus Bolton and Sheffield United while we're at it.

     

    I apologise to followers of my reject clubs for my prejudice, bias and arrogance - except Chelsea of course, deserved champions-elect. Damn them.

  4. Is that the first time a non-league team has reached the last eight? Some achievement. Their manager has no doubt put himself in the shop window now, can see him jumping a division or two now.

     

    Somebody on radio was mentioning QPR when they were non-league but I suspect YB is right.

     

    In the Scottish Cup the only non-league side to get to the quarters was Elgin City 1968 lost 2 - 1 at Morton. Morton's first was offside and the second was a blatant push on the 'keeper while City were denied four clear penalties. At least that's the way I saw it.
