Didn't Alan Thompson ensure someone end up in the Burnden ditch?

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

I remember Tomo taking out a Blackburn player away one year. 

No worries about winning the ball just slid in and took the fucker out.

Rings a bell. May not be the right one mind. 

[MickyD]

Definitely Kinkldze. City’s star player hit the cinders in first 5 minutes and didn’t want to know for rest of game

[Rudy]

Yeah it was kinkladze

Got Dortmund v Bayern on and altho it's far better than that Korean shit I watched the other week it still feels a bit like a pre-season friendly.

[radcliffe white]

Been a professional job so far from Bayern 

[Roger_Dubuis]

Aye, Bayern 1-0 up deep into the 2nd half on the 26 May. What could possibly go wrong..

[Marc505]

Heard earlier there's been just 3 home wins so far since Bundesliga came back, and virtually no shocks. Does seem to go against the argument that home advantage means anything behind closed doors.

Get PL games on at UniBol, charge them a million a game.

the co-commentator sounded so much like Arnie, I was expecting him to leave in a CHOPPA

I guarantee Owen Hargreaves has never ever been compared to Arnie before in his life!

Martin ‘Dirty Red’ Tyler’s guide to Bolton Wanderers

[birch-chorley]

I played in a pro am with work nearly 10 years back, we were Arsenal and had Ray Parlour in our side 

The dinner afterwards was at the Reebok, Ray knowing I was a Bolton fan was giving me loads of grief 

I had to remind him of that 2-2 game as it’s the ground where they pissed the title up the wall

happy days when we had such an impact on the PL

Came back from the north of Scotland for that game. 8 hours in a car well worth it

Re-watched all of England's Euro 96 games these last couple of weeks, the number of times Gazza has lost possession is ridiculous. Was he always like this, very costly in possession but liable to do something brilliant?

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

In his pomp he was nigh on impossible to disposess... Certainly a contender for the best player in the world around the time of Italia 90.

I remember the runs he would go on in Italia 90, and what I've seen v Czech before that and for Spurs etc, but he's losing it time after time here.

Just looked it up and we didn't make a single substitution in 120 mins of this semi, got Les Ferdinand sat on bench he'd have really driven at Germany.

[RONNIE PHILLIPS]

Against Holland in the group stage he was immense, made Gullit look average 😊... Bobby Robson tried to warn him he was up against the best player in the world, Gazzas reply was ' no boss, he is!'

I've just finished watching England v Scotland (it takes me several sittings to get through a whole game) and even though I was there on the day, behind the goal next to the Scots, I couldnt believe how bad we were re-watching it.  We had 10 minutes around the time of the 1st goal and 5 minutes around the missed pen/Gazza goal.  Scotland a much better, balanced team on the day (McAllister real quality on the ball).  Gazza shows glimpses of being a class above, but yes he gives the ball away too much.  In comparison Redknapp does very little, McManaman continues to look completely overrated, weak and one paced, and Darren Anderton.  Can anyone explain?  So bad!  Its not helped by the commentators getting over excited if there's so much as a shot on goal miles wide, the quality is few and far between. And England fans singing Swing Low Sweet Chariots, a bit embarrassing.
