Graham Taylor denies that he was told by FA to limit the number of black players he picked. Taylor responded*:


"My record speaks for itself. I picked shit players for England regardless of their colour - I mean, I picked both Geoff Thomas and Keith Curle - QED"


*not really

He seems more annoyed that this 'private' conversation is in a book - than the fact that it never happened...


'I?m so annoyed about it. They?ve gone ahead ? as I understand it, what I?ve said to them privately has just got out. Or what I?m accused of saying to them privately, which I deny and can?t remember it, they?ve gone out publicly and said it and yet they?re saying themselves it was said to them privately. Oh it?s very private then to publish a book about it, isn?t it?'


Never the best communicator wasn't Graham.

Alan Dunne has been a bit of a liability as of late. Receiving red cards for rash decisions.


Also making silly mistakes resulting in goals being conceded and fracas with David Forde.


Neil Harris has released 18 players from the Millwall squad.


Carlos Edwards, Ricardo Fuller, Danny Shittu , Martyn Woolford , Nicky Bailey, Matthew Briggs, Richard Chaplow,


Magaye Gueye, Justin Hoyte, Stefan Maierhofer and Angel Martinez .. all gone..



Youngsters Dylan Casey, Sofiane El-Bekri, Denzel Gerrar, Jake Goodman, Josh Siafa and Callum Webb


will also depart the club.


Will be a new team next season.

Apparently Camweon said he got confused as he'd been past Upton Park earlier that day but he was a solid Villa fan who used to go with his uncle. What he failed to mention was he'd been past Upton Park n a helicopter and his uncle used to own Aston Villa!

He probably supports Burnley too.


Asked how he felt after that gaff he said "He felt like kicking himself harder than a Benteke shot". He's obviously been briefed and even knows a player now.

Jimmy Greaves by John Hegley


It's not much of a planet

that everybody leaves

there's not a lot of faith about

but I am someone who believes

that what we need without a doubt

is more of Jimmy Greaves

imagine Jimmy's picture in every picture frame

imagine all religion praising Jimmy's name

the world is just a candle

and Jimmy Greaves is the flame

won't you gimme Jimmy

it used to be his turn of speed.

he left defences in a daze

now he rents his turn of phrase

and when I turn on the TV

and Jimmy's there

my spirits raise

and when I'm in a blazing row

and I'm in the process of rolling up my sleeves

I just think of Greavsie and he relieves me

more and more of Greavsie

is what this country needs

he's the man to sow the seeds of sanity

he's off the booze he's on the ball

he's got a message for us all

he can help humanity

to heal itself

to haul itself

from this self-destructive stupor

he's what you call a trooper

I think he's blinking super

he's a tooper super duper

so please don't give me Henry Cooper

he isn't Jimmy Greaves

people say that I'm loopy

they think I'm nothing

but a Greavsie groupie

but I tell them

you're not fit to wash

Jimmy Greaves' moustache.

    • No they were created by a Hong Kong artist and became a craze when a K-Pop girl band became associated with them. They do limited editions and they've become a collectors item (Like Jelicat for adults)- I'm a bit ashamed that at 65 years old I know so much about them but they are very much a fashionable item. And I'm always interested in Popular Culture. Whover lost it must be gutted because I understand that when you buy one (they're boxed) you never know which one or what colour you'll get...so if the owner loved that one it may be very difficult to replace.
    • Are they a hybrid of teletubby and some other species?
    • Thats a Labubu. I suspect it was lost by a trend-following adult who had it hanging from their handbag. They're a real fashion trend at the moment and people collect them. I hate them they give me the creeps!
