I can remember watching a documentary on the evolution of football and there was a feature on the San Siro during Italia 90 and the players were saying it was like a prison with concrete facilities and drainage akin to the 19th century.

Lets not pretend they're coming to the rescue. Will take months for them to take on the case and years for a resolution. The EFL have taken 3 months already and still no deduction or resolution.

I think at the time short sleeved sweatshirts were the fashion (tucked into stonewash jeans) The club sold one that was very smart (to 15 year old me) it was navy blue and cream stripes with a stylised, neon yellow 'Owls' scribbled across the front. Those fashions translated to shirts I think with blousey sleeves. It was Spurs I think that had them long shorts and Ryan Giggs always looked like an U14 player wearing first team kit. That said, Sinton was a funny looking player, kind of squat and broad so could probably have benefited from having shirt size down

Sinclair would have been a better purchase than Sinton.

Plenty better and quicker. Wasn't he about 27? Ndlovu, Speed, Sharp, Wise, Gillespie...

Think we played Arsenal that first game of season. 93/94. My mate, who knows his stuff if you like, said Sinton hat-trick. Little did we know that the Sinton signing would illustrate the chronic lack in ambition at the time.

Me and my brother went to sleep in that area of directors box when queing for 91 final tickets, theres some central heating pipes run around that area and we got schnucked in.

Good memories of Dave Coupe sat in North with his binoculars looking at directors box.

I noticed at 2.55pm today NOBODY at those stalls.

Couldn't get one, even tried to bribe a Trust member to have his for a tenner. I. WANT. MY. GOLD. AND. BLACK. SCARF!! (to the tune of I want my MTV)

Is international football as important and urgent as it used to be? Football is now such a cosmopolitan, global sport there simply isnt the 'exotic unknown' that came with internationals of decades gone by. Mix that with blanket television coverage and you get an apathy that relegates it to exhibition dirge where the players want to be anywhere but playing Moldova in the Nations League.

Lets call it the Mandela effect.

Apologies. I am wrong.

Earl Barrett was on a team photo one year, top left corner if I remember correctly. I think peoples views are skewed about certain players, Barrett was a veteran of the Wimbledon squad and played in the latter days of the so-called Crazy Gang. Think Alan Kimble, Dean Holdsworth, Robbie Earle... Players not as good as their Premiership status demanded but non-the-less decent pros.

Our previous 25 years or Spurs last 25 years... ...Gee, let me think.

Give over. Lets not get too soft.

A regulator is a good idea in principle broadly for the whole of football, and they may want to hit the ground running with making an example of a club. However, on day 1, they will only then be privvy to the thousands of documents and details of the issue and have to engage in an investigation that follows strict guidelines and due process including the right to reply and appeals. The first letter to hit the floor of S6 1SW will more than likely have a reply duration of 28 days as an example of how drawn out and binding the whole case would be. Secondly, and probably more importantly, people are over-estimating the competency of the regulator considering that such bodies in other industries have been shambolically run. The question is, due you trust the government with football?

People are putting WAY too much faith in the Football Regulator. A completely new body with no previous prescedents that will itself have to follow a government sanctioned protocol amd be the subject of varying degrees of appeals and legal pushbacks. They're not just gonna rock up to his house and give him a thick ear.

I used to be a Wednesdayite member until they agreed to meet Lee Strafford without informing members to be indulged by his paranoid ramblings. Can see nothing has changed.

We should be helping to wean football away from the gambling companies, not directly creating a relationship between the two that becomes irrecoverably dependent. The whole industry is financially and morally bent, and thats from someone who enjoys a flutter.

He looks older in his playing days than he did when he retired in 1987.
