Cup Final 1953 cried me eyes out cos of that bastard Stan Matthews

About 9 years ago i enrolled in a quit smoking group run by the NHS id smoked for about 45 years nonstop was on 40+ a day.I thought id never quit but the lady running the course was brilliant no patronising or lecturing she just stuck to facts,like what was in cigs,i nearly spewed up when i heard what was in em, i picked a day to finish as they said, got my free patches from doctor and quit,i had patches of various strengths for 3 months 24 hours a day and it worked ive not had a cig since and feel a hell of a lot healthier. So if your thinking of quitting try hard it is a good thing to do.

Just watched second half of the match (forgot about it ). Anyway looks like Stu Holden is getting back to being match fit,he had a good game, picking things up around centre circle and stroking it around sometimes short sometimes longer but looked confident.First touch a bit poor on a couple of occasions but can expect that at this stage.Took his goal well,a run into box and a knock down to him. All in all he looked to be getting back to something like,if he carries on progressing like this he will be back.

MG i dont think i know you,but i knew your Dad we often spoke in the street around and about Morris Green especially near the Spar,he was a great lad and always had time for anyone my condolences to you and the rest of your family.

Smashing lad RIP, Jack

Remember one game when Peter Thompson made a mess of something JB started having words with him,someone shouted out to JB `How many caps have you got John? he looked over gave us the fingers and started laughing his head off,he was great and a legend.

If she didnt want more years in power we wouldnt have had a war in the South Atlantic,for that reason i wont shed any tears over her demise

Nat was a hero to many including myself.He was one of the bravest footballers ive ever seen.he would take anything the opposition gave him and come back for more,and remember in those days there were some dirty bastards playing.But then, we had our share of em to,but that was what it was like then, none of this rolling over and over when you got ankle tapped or shoved.One of the things we used to say about Nat was that he would head a cannonball for the Wanderers if needed, and i believe he would,those days were good and lots of heros for me then,just as there are for the modern day fan, i have had different favourites through the years but Nat is still my top favourite as he was the one who started it off for me.People ask me if todays footballers are better than the ones i grew up watching and to be honest todays footballers are head and shoulders above what the old time ones were,they are faster more skillful and more athletic.but ask one of em to head a leather ball with laces on a cold wet Saturday in january and i dont think many could or would and that is the difference,Nat would,could and did,all for 10 quid a week.

Arsenal have always played in the top league.

Well said young man with people like you our football club is safe.I go back to the early 1950s watching us and have so many memories,mainly of those early times,and i like you ive been a lifelong supporter and still am,even tho im now in the land of egg chasing i can keep up with things thanks to this site. Carry on supporting you will be proud you have done.

More lines on her face than Crewe Junction

Im in Auckland the bus is late

Jesus listening to some of the comments here im glad we didnt lose....

I I think if my memory serves me right that was the game a young superstar called Bobby Charlton played was a lot of publicity about him at the time.Good crowd on to. If im wrong about this please correct me as my memory isnt all that good and i cant be arsed looking anything up.

Christmas morning here all the best to you all thanks, for all the laughs.

They didnt hold a cup final when i was born nearest one is Derby

Just seen this Glenn, thanks for doing this we met on Friday evening at Derian house im her Grandfather and thanks to all you here who have commented its very much appreciated

Just spat me coffee out

Gudni anyone?

I remember Joe Dean yes he was quite a good keeper didnt get much of a chance with Hopky there tho

I dont think we will be anywhere near a relegation fight. When they get the premiership out of their systems and learn what it takes to play in this league we should be challenging for a playoff place at least.

Its disgusting that this terrorist is meeting any member of the Royal family after what he and his kind did to Lord Mountbatten

Think Spurs will beat us and it will be doom and gloom,then we will go on a 2 match winning streak and stay up by 1 point. I hope.
