I think it's simply a combination of timing and practice. I used to train by kicking a tennis ball against a wall for hours a couple of times a...
I spent all of my school years playing in teams with and against kids older and bigger than me. In those days, like you I was also pretty small...
And 'Tie Your Kangaroo Down"
Excellent work, but I'm still recoiling in horror at the Charlton-esque comb-over from 0.39 to 0.42
In what respect are Blackpool players inferior to Derby's of that season?
In that case I hope his family sued the ass off whoever made that film.
I'm a Blackpool fan and to us Stan Mortensen was not only a hero but also reputedly a real gentleman. It's appalling that a great player can be...
Come on you tangerine wizards !!!!! Get innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Madrid - Barcelona is not a derby
No room for Jimmy Greaves?
Out of interest, why is Man U your most hated club, given that you are a PSG fan?

I know, and I agree with you that it would push up the price of some pretty unworthy individuals. I'd like to see a salary cap introduced, but...
Nope. I don't see any English defenders from the Premiership era that to my knowledge are better players than these. Rio came close but that's it....
I'm happy with Nordahl up front.
England: Bobby Moore, Roy McFarland, Neil Franklin, Jimmy Armfield, Billy Wright
Interesting team. I'd have John Charles at centre back instead of Ocwirk, and Tom Finney instead of Stanley Matthews.
British clubs did pretty well in Europe before the Heysel ban, when they were built around mainly British players. However, I certainly wouldn't...
A couple of interesting observations on the subject from non-English observers: Gianluca Vialli Italians take the “real world” with them on to...
Jaysus! That's wrong on so many levels it's hard to know where to start.
Larf. Nice one Centurion
That's right. However, I was brought up to use the term 'defensive midfielder' only to desbribe case 1 above, using 'ball-winner' and 'box-to-box'...
