    A Stoof in the Shelf: Liverpool (H)

    Thanks Stoof. Really enjoyable read, especially for someone like me now living in NY, but who can still taste the WHL ambiance. It's not minty. COYS

    A failure of leadership

    I totally agree with JG2's summary of events. The team capitulated after the penalty. Fergie changed his team to all out attack & it worked. We should also have changed tactics to try and reverse their momentum. Keane, Corluka, JJ were ineffective. Replace them - Hutton, Hudd, Bentley. No one...

    Some thoughts on the Wigan match

    For the first time this season, after today's performance, I am really worried about relegation. This inept, gutless show by highly paid professionals, was inexcusable. Besides O'Hara & Dawson (& perhaps Gomes) no one showed either the quality or determination we need to stay up. Harry's...

    Reserves assessment

    Pleased that Adel showed his skill later in the game. He is very talented, but when I have seen him, too selfish. Hopefully, he can develop into a good team player with the right training/instruction.

    Reserves assessment

    Thanks COYBOY. Very interesting, enjoyable read. I don't know too much of the reserve team players. Your analysis of Taarabt, Ghaly, Rocha indicates that their qualities haven't much changed.

    Should Juande Ramos be sacked?

    Many of the fans are baying for blood, but dismissing Ramos at this stage would be suicidal. Admittedly we are in a dire position & desperately need a few wins to restore confidence. Last Sunday's display was much better & gives me confidence that the team will be able to turn things around...

    Run down on players vs Villa

    This was a mind numbing performance. On paper all our players have the individual quality to play top quality football. Today only Woodgate, Jenas, Bale showed they had some idea of what to do. However, the team tactics, if they were given any, were completely absent. To quote Brian Clough, or...

    Spurs team 1950's

    Those names bring back some great memories. Especially Ditchburn, Burgess, Ramsey, Medwin (my hero as a youngster) Duque. I remember little Tommy Harmer, but I thought he was a bit later on. Again, many thanks for these memories. Come on you Lilywhites!

    Spurs team 1950's

    I have supported Spurs since after WW2 when my Dad would take me to home games. I have now been an avid fan for over 60 years. However, can't remember the names of the teams of those days - except "The Duke". Of course I remember the later teams including Blanchflower, MacKay, White, & later...
