The West Ham in the pub in Dubai were sound enough, they had a hanger-on who was Sunderland (I think) who kept having a pop at me for wearing a t-shirt with the Turkey flag on it (of course) - a nice bright red number with the crescent and five stars and a Liver bird. Lovely. He thought it 'disgusting that an englishman would wear that' and I should be ashamed of myself or something - he seemed to sink further and further into his own bitter little world over it to the point where he wasn't even watching the game anymore but just wanted to stare me and the t-shirt out. Each time he muttered something and his face got redder and redder I had to laugh more and more. Good comedy. Poor c*nt. About 5' 4" he was.

WE ARE THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! Been good though hasn't it?

Its not simply post-Shankly that we have achieved succes either. People seem to forget that we had our moments before his arrival too. Five leagues looks small fry to us now, but we were always in the leading pack - we just hadn't won the Cup is all. League Champions: 1900-01 1905-06 1921-22 1922-23 1946-47

Where would be without Rafa, is the correct question.

That 'theme' tune they were playing that night was fantastic - nobody seems to have any idea what it was or where to get hold of it though.

You struggling with the 'on' button for your new portable telly? Ask the fella next door to come round and wire the plug for you.

You won't have any choice. It'll be shown for years and years and years
