Everything were better back then. Oh hang on, no it wasn't.


I do feel gutted that I never experienced those cup final days, but the game has evolved and the fans have basically encouraged that and helped it on it's way. You reap what you sow.


Money is king, Europe is money should that's the priority for the top clubs. Im pretty sure any player in a team placed lower than the middle of the prem woukd still feel just as excited abiut a trip to Wembley as ever, and you could argue that javing the semis there gives this experience to more players.

I'm sorry Otta, mostly you are correct but the FA cup was better then, its not misty-eyed sentimentalism, it's a fact.


The season was over, this was THE showcase game, the build up, the cache and Ringos, I'd watch this over any money laden Euro knobfest anytime.


But you are right, money, money, money.

'bout now, I don't doubt it at all, and it ahoukd definitely come after the league finishes.


However, part of the reason it was probably such a big deal was because there wasn't a kot of football live on telly, and there was nothing else to watch. These days kids would rather play video games or watch other stuff which wasn't available in the 70s.

5 best players seen live:


Cruyff, Best, Ronaldo (the fat Brazilian one), Platini, John Wark.


Unfortunately I saw Cruyff in his last season playing at Barcelona and Best for Fulham, Ronaldo looking very uninterested for Inter, and tbh I don't remember Platini.


John Wark though.....what a player.

      postal collections

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.

      postal collections

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.

      Missing cat

      By Roddy · Posted

      My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
