The Football.....

What does it matter? He's known as an Everton legend, nobody cares that he played for Liverpool 3 times. In four years.

A player could have played for Liverpool 500 times, if he'd played once for Celtic/Rangers the Scottish media would forever call him a "former Old Firm star"

Aye but you would have got to see the legendary Kevin Sheedy in his prime!!

I did. Then we sold him to Everton.

I don't think "they" do, it might be a very small footnote, but Sweden, Helsingborgs, Feyenoord, Celtic and Barca will be more prominent in any reference.

oh they do.......my united friends still call him an ex united player when we chat about and reference old players.

All supporters do the same with their teams and ex players, its natural to do so, cause they were players of those clubs

OK so just your daft united mates then jowwy not media as referred to in...

i never refered to the media.......joey shabadooo did and then Only the Scottish Media. But no not just my mates, it happens all over social media, skysports, BT sports, Amazon a lot during premier league games.

Maybe watch a few games and you will hear it happen regularly

I don't know Paul. I never supported Wimbledon

Sorry, you did say you went to Plough Lane so I made the assumption.

This is a very good point.

And on Larsson, he was an incredible player. I thought he was done after seeing him get his leg snapped in half, but somehow he came back better. Unreal.

Any one else see the speculative reporting linking Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos to buying Manchester United?

Given his involvement with Team Ineos, the All Blacks Blacks and Maclaren Formula 1, he seems to have a thing for former world beating teams who are on the slide

its probably the best time to buy them isn't it, when they are on their way down ( some would so they been going down for a long time)

Well my boys got well and truly stuffed 3-0 last night. My lad went as he's working in London this week. He says Rovers were very poor and hardly got over the halfway line.

We've seen it before and just as well JDT has seen it early on.

Disgusting refereeing.

Havertz blatently pulled down, possession to Spurs and goal. No foul given.

Corner from Spurs and Cuccerea pulled to floor by Romeo by his hair. VAR checked - nothing given Spurs then score from retake.

Rarely do I get worked up by referee decisions but I am fuming.

The video ref has now admitted he made a mistake with the 2nd Tottenham goal.
