There’s quite a bit more about it on the Sky Sports website: FA will not appeal after Paqueta cleared The Football Association has said it will not appeal against the decision by an independent commission to clear West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta of four spot-fixing charges.The written reasons for ...

Y’all obsessed with Sp*rs. I’m a bit obsessed with the John Lyall era, as they were my formative years. Coincidentally, they were also great times to be a West Ham fan! I was living in Lancashire at this point, so I was having to wait for the BBC vidiprinter to tell me the final score. Any away game...

What a performance this was - David Cross at his absolute best!

FA cup win in 1980, division two champions at a canter in 1981, then this! Those were the days - were any of you lucky enough to be there?

I’m happy I turned down a free ticket to the Stadium of Blight

To be fair to Paul Hilton he played twice for us in 1985/86 - in the 4-0 away win at Stamford Bridge and the 2-1 home win against Spurs two days later!

I thought I could remember him saying he'd contact the Network. Presumably he was also TwinHammer1 then, which I think was the user that posted about it the most.

We've had a few 'interesting' posters over the years!

Human Teeth - old Hugh, bless him, with his love of goaltenders. Was he also in the Network?

Well done on a smooth transition while also adding notable improvements.

Both the match reports and the view from the opposition threads always seemed to be popular reads - perhaps someone could be persuaded to resurrect those?

They’ll certainly need to improve their home form if they can’t even beat Leicester. Their last 5 away games could at least make it interesting: Chelsea Wolves Liverpool West Ham Aston Villa They also managed to get relegated in 1977 despite having Pat Jennings and their god Hoddle in the team. it w...

I've been re-watching the amazing World at War series again - it's currently available on "U". Just one fascinating fact that stayed with me is that more Russians died in the siege of Leningrad than the British and American deaths combined for the duration of the war. FMOB on that one!

48 years old and presumably always looked after himself - just goes to show keeping fit only gets you so far. No-one's safe!

Great article. Particularly interesting to read that Moyes did a glowing leaving speech for him, as it looked like he didn't want to play him in the end. My favourite PL WHU player, and I was proper gutted when he was sold.

Gracias Pablo, tu es el hombre!

 

Thanks Zeb - I've joined up as Boston Blitz.

I think we normally have 12 teams but it'll depend how quick the rest get to see your update as to how many teams we have, especially as the game's are coming thick and fast.

Hope he’s ok - he’s normally very active when nfl is ready to kick off.

Let's bring this back - there must be loads of goals that can be erased to make our lives less miserable. How about the Stoke penalty that Bobby initially saved in 1972? Would we have gone on to beat Chelsea in the Final?

Does anyone know Crystal to see if he's going to be able to arrange the draft?

I got a text too, so I emailed the club. If you got the Club Cash this year then it won't expire until 31/08/24. I ended up using mine to buy a replica shirt.

"Count me in too for fantasy please, Crystal - Boston Blitz."

"Haven't they changed the rules on when VAR can intervene for a handball? So only if it's to give a penalty or if the player who scores has handled? Wasn't that why the ""basketball"" incident with Thilo Kehrer had to be ignored?"

"Turkey v Georgia - what a game, best so far. Georgia really unlucky not to get a point Almost throwback football with both teams trying for the win. A couple of great strikes too."
