Great spot, by that score, how many would Merthyr Tyds put past them. lol
Coincidentally, I met a gentleman about two weeks ago at my local football club and we had a quick chat. He’s a ground hopper but his club is Merthyr, he was a lovely gent and clearly knew the welsh football scene quite well.Remember it well. Surreal achievement. Merthyr Tydfil absolutely STORMED the Beazer Homes League Midland division that season 87-88!
@daza_1973 Weirdly the records show Big Bob retiring from Football in July 1987 after spending 86/87 with the Martyrs, but I'm convinced you are right about him missing the Atalanta ties with injury. Maybe he was still in the squad but never played in 87/88 due to injury so the assumption was retirement in summer 87.
I'm going to watch Merthyr FC v Hendon at the hallowed Pen-y-Darren park tomorrow (they're two promotions from the conference), but I'm not sure there'll be 8000 pissed up screaming Valley boys in the crowd this time!
I think your right in what your saying and the commentator was hinting at Liverpool doping last night by saying how average Atalanta had been this season. Yet they go to Anfield and win 3-0, I think it's it's a poorly kept secret that Liverpool are doping. They simply aren't a skilful side, yet have managed all this success. I'm convinced the premier league have allowed Liverpool to dope to have someone challenge City. With United being a mess, you couldn't have City walking away with the league like in 2018, so liverpool started doping in 2018 to keep up with City. When Liverpool lose they don't just lose normally they fall apart. Players like VVD, Salah, Trent and Robertson look awful.
Blowing out of his asre off cycling the peds does that to youCheck out Van Donkey’s defending for the third goal. I genuinely have no idea what he’s doing.
I've got Palace down as a win on 'Pickem'The manager looks rattled and I would't be at all surprised if Palace held them at the weekend.
Don't wanna get too excited about this getting pumped just yet, not til they are out of the competition.
Still though, it's bewildering to me how they have been at the top so long this season. Whenever I watch them they look beatable. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a wed fart of a season's end for them.

Ffs @davek you’ve only been back 5 minutes.The manager looks rattled and I would't be at all surprised if Palace held them at the weekend.
That’s your Pick’em clanked for the week!I've got Palace down as a win on 'Pickem'(Don't you let us down @Alan Whittle)
They’re used to the opposition missing the majority of chances against them. If we give an opposition striker half a yard on the edge of the box they’ve found the top corner before we know it, overhead kicks, outside of the foot volleys, perfect finishes into corners, they happen every game v us. When a team has a one on one against them, regardless of who is in goal, it’s a complete shock to everyone when a striker actually rolls it in. Its got to the point when some of their fans thought it was ‘unfair’ that Diallo finished that chance against them in the cup because they are genuinely astounded when anyone scores an easy chance against them so rarely does it happen. They’ve had a beating like that coming for a long time.
