Mark Ward - Everton & West Ham (RM). Got eight years for supplying cocaine in Liverpool.

Nice little piece on Planet Football about THAT run from Jobi McAnuff vs Liverpool in 2010. Still expecting to see the ball to go in off the post.

Henningsvær Stadium, Lofoten Islands, Norway. Ball-boys' job is a bit of a cu nt.

Hate to say it, but that is a very nice number indeed. Reminds me slightly of Reading hoops ...

I would not like that paper round.

Had a bit of an argument with a lino during my U15 boys' last league game at the weekend over the interpretation of 'being active' in an offside decision (or non-decision). Perhaps collective body of HNA? refs out there can answer this: A ball was played through the middle in our half to an opposin...

Getting on for a quarter of a century ago. Only Reading fans well into their 30s will have any memory of this :shock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwk4Erxrsqs - let's pretend the rest of the day didn't happen. The biggest heartbreak in all of my years as a fan. I was devastated. I really thought...

Nice little piece on Jimmy Kebe and his new career as a pro poker player.

Yet another Bielsa team runs out of steam. Quelle surprise.

Has there ever been a 5th vs 6th PO final before at this level?

stealthpapes that tranmere kit is nice

but not as nice as our play that day

still :heart: lee nogan

That outside-of-the-left-peg pass from Dariusz to Nogs for the third. Sigh...

Tranmere 1 Reading 3 - PO SF 1st Leg. In all my years, this was the most perfect away performance I ever witnessed. Tranmere were played off the park and their fans showed their appreciation at the end. A brilliant, brilliant day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwxI5e06HXU Similar era, Blackpool 0...

An incredible 1267 crowd at the Stray Dog in Walthamstow watch Clapton CFC clinch the Middlesex County League Div 1 C&E title with a 3-0 win. Been an incredible inaugural season and will be interesting to see how they follow that next season.

Very sad news. A very loyal Biscuitman and Royal. RIP Fred.

At level 12, an incredible 804 at the Stray Dog in Walthamstow saw Clapton Community FC beat London Samurai 3-2 in the Middlesex County League Div One C&E. A virtual decider, the Tons need a win in their last game to clinch the title. The nascent club has performed miracles in its first season: ...

Watching United last night and my overwhelming thought was that they are really, really fu cked for the foreseeable future. Not one of their players would adequately replace any in the City, Liverpool or Spurs line ups. Still, they will always have the Class of '92 and 1999, which were so last centu...

Lovely article about Jamie Cureton's 1000th appearance in the Grauniad https://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2019/apr/24/jamie-cureton-xavi-raul-football-1000-games-arsenal-goalscorer Apparently only the 29th player in the world to reach that landmark :shock: and still a bargain.

Close, but not close enough for the Fuhrer. Ball came in to Friday just outside the 'D' (23-25 yds) on the right and he had his back to goal. Still think that the closest I have seen is Thierry Henry's goal v Man Utd in 2000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksz6K-tJ6Nc although Friday's goal was hit...
