D860 VICTORIOUS Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Back in 75-76,QPR came 2nd to Liverpool in the First Division,with a team playing fabulous football.Around that time,me and some mates had recently started work,so we bought season tickets for the following season.Wasn't quite such a good season... In the late 70's,if QPR weren't at home,we'd go to either Stamford Bridge,Craven Cottage or Griffin Park just so we could see a game. Younger viewers may find that hard to believe... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember that, and City beating United 4-0 in the latter stages of the League Cup around then, Dad had gone out and for some reason it was on the 'box, I can remember him coming home and seeing my face (he supported United, I was City!) and not having to ask about who won! City had a cracking team back then but never fulfilled their potential, some great young players, but always pipped at the post, all I can remember is Liverpool keep winning 1-0 everywhere! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 A case of a respected manager leaving his successor with a team full of massive names that was well past it's sell by date. Then having a string of managers failing to live up to expectations, some of them young and upcoming, and others big names. Along the way spending a lot of money to try and get the glory days back. Seems familiar..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there are the strangely rich ladies spending large amounts on credit cards with no apparent source of income, one lady from Russia went from being a cleaner to owning a bank. What upsets me is that the Government quite happily allowed all this to happen, for large swathes of cities to be bought up by faceless shell companies to launder foreign money. Looking at the backgrounds of these people, they should never have been welcomed into the UK and now it is coming home to roost. I don't disagree at all with what you have said. But you have not answered the question. (Have you considered a career as a politician?) A company (in this case a PLC which is little unusual when there is a sole owner) has its own legal "personality". So it should be treated separately from Abramovitch. Seems to me that Govt , and the Chelski lawyers, have made a basic error here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't deny the absolute class of Havertz for the goal but, arguably, he shouldn't have been on the pitch. Also thanks, in large part, to a shocking decision by VAR not to give a penalty... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
