My dadā€™s generation can remember when the players used to catch the bus on matchday with the fans.

The contrast with the spoilt brats of today couldnā€™t be more stark.

Yeah mine too. But my grandad used to recall when the fans gave the players piggy backs to the ground and woebetide anyone who dropped one. Life was hard in those days and especially ooop north :persevere:

I remember seeing Jimmy Case driving around in a sponsored Ford Cortina. Where have the years gone?

Somebody should send a vid of that first goal to Di Maria just for shits and giggles.

Jim Beglin :weary:

After Di Maria got sent off he sort of shrugged and referenced his latin temperament, as if saying ā€œwhat do you expect.ā€ 10 minutes later he appologized for the offense people might have taken at him using the word ā€œlatinoā€.

No you dipshit, that wasnā€™t why it got a response.

Di Maria has accepted Beglinā€™s Twitter apology. Said the Argentine in his own post. ā€œBecause heā€™s Irish, Iā€™m sure he was drunk when he said it, so we shouldnā€™t hold him responsible.ā€

Donā€™t check Di Mariaā€™s account. Of course, I made this up.

Lovely to see Albi Moreno putting Arsenal out the Europa League.

He was a bit shite but always had a soft spot for the lad.
