Kai Havertz to Arsenal for £65m. Seems a lot but what do I know. He just seems lightweight and inconsistent.

Indeed. Nostalgia just isn’t what it used to be :-)

Did that period see the origin of the ‘One Nil to the Arsenal’ chant ?

Not really. Arsenal were pretty successful under George Graham if I remember correctly.

So am I.

I used to go to Plough Lane quite often to watch Wimbledon vs United in the 80s. I really didn’t enjoy those games - partly because we drew or lost but mainly because it was like a rugby match, a 90 min niggly war of attrition with Fashanu and that irritating dwarf Dennis Wise up to all their antics.

Coincidentally, a friend lent me her ST for AFC Wimbleson and I saw their penultimate home game of the season. They lost 5-1 to Swindon.

As with most of your posts, I was unaware of that and had to research it.

McQueen scored 3 times in the 1974/75 European Cup campaign but was suspended for the Final. Are you implying Leeds would have beaten Bayern with McQueen in the side ? Or his suspension was not justified ?

Welcome. A good season for Barca.

My brain still finds it hard to parse that Thomas Tuchel won the Champions League in May 2021 and Chelsea dismissed him in September 2022.

Hmm - I think you might be right. The days of Biesla seem like a dim and distant memory now. I couldn’t believe how poor Leeds were during the run-in.

Yes. I wonder if Klopp will have the energy to rebuild that side after Henderson, Keita and Firminio’s departure. Oh and please don’t forget James Milner.

Are you serious ? The 115 FFP charges have been in place for years. Nothing has happened and nothing will happen. Well, Citeh might get a paltry fine that the kit man could pay.
