Saw a documentary on Sky about Souness, heard there for the first time that the main reason he left for Italy was because his wife, as the heiress to,iirc, the Famous Army Stores retail chain, was facing a huge inheritance (or capital gains) tax bill, so they wanted out of the country to avoid it. Which is an ...interesting... perspective

Jari Litmanen Fernando Morientes Brilliant players, no doubt, but never quite got the game time or had the impact I expected and moved on too quickly

Mine did. He's a 32 year old Solicitor.

...amongst our weaponry.... No-one expects a Utd win. (One for the teenagers there)

Phew. Thought I was the only one thinking this. The goal was horrific from any point of view, but other than that I saw it as flatness and overplaying and wasn't worried that we wouldn't or couldn't up our game at any time if it got critical, as it did - and we did.

I think Taylor has improved massively on his on-field demeanour and authority - he could get bullied and looked like a frightened rabbit; Webb, being an ex-copper, had that authoritative demeanour in spades, of course. As with Webb, though, I remain to be convinced that Taylor's decision making is elite, although it is definitely no worse than that of most of the other Refs (and better than Webb's)

He kind of did the Bergkamp thing when he dummied the goalkeeper and ran round and collected it himself - 1970 WC. Then missed the open goal.

Didn't get that as much as thinking Guy Mowbray must have some kind of cognitive disorder. How anyone professionally involved in Football could say the game appeared even as he did beggars belief. And laughed at the suggestion the Salah penalty should have been given with the evidence on screen right in front of everyone. He's a tosser

All the Stuttgart fans were saying this - he would become a cult hero. They were right. Love him to bits.

Yeah, I just checked an old You Tube favourite - Rush's fantastic hat-trick at a frozen Villa Park - and that was a televised Friday night game from 1984, so I was well out about 1989.
