A sign last night at the game read £1.4 billion and I miss Victor Moses.

I miss Bovril and sherry from the little hut/caravan in the corner of the shed.

Blimey, Tom, you paid £1.4 bil for Novril and sherry?

Looks like top 5 places in the PL are settled. Not sure if 6th place will qualify for the CL, but frankly, I doubt we will end up in the top 6. In any event, we are not good enough to be in the competition. At least the title race is still open.

Anyone who qualifies for the competition is good enough in my book.
I seem to remember a Bovril and sherry from under the counter was 3d (about 1.5 pence). I also seem to remember admission for kids was 10d (about 5p). It truly was a working class game in those days!!

Tom, you are obviously reading the wrong books. I was waiting for your typical response.

Don't wait for me. I just have zero problems in how we qualify for any competition.
The last time we won the Champions League, I think, we finished 4th in the Premiership to qualify. They don't put the previous year's league position on the trophy.

The World Cup and Champions League have been extended (diluted) for political purposes by the corrupt officials to obtain votes, to ensure they retain their seats on the gravy train paid by football lovers around the globe. If anyone thinks qualifying for the CL in sixth place in an extremely poor Premier League is an achievement, well...

Tom, I remember paying 50p to move from the shed to the benches in the west stand and the peanut sellers, they were the days.

I don't care how we qualify for a competition. I do care that, if we qualify on a technicality, it isn't used to dilute the manner in which a clearly unacceptable season is reviewed.

Greenaway, the worst thing about the old West Stand was the toilets, or, to be more accurate, the toilet. ?
