Footie grannies?

I have read somewhere that it could now be possible for England to hold the World Cup again, maybe in 2030. This is possible because Blatter has gone, hopefully with the rest of his corrupt band and Infantino is now in charge of FIFA. Oh, please! Remember vividly the last one, World Cup Willy, Alan Ball all over the pitch, Nobby Stiles sans teeth! Only got to last another 14 years!

That would be amazing. Alima I was a little girl of three when we won the world cup! No doubt I was put out to play in the garden or kept out of my father's way by my mother. Legend has it that 27 adults crammed into our lounge to watch the final match. I have seen it a couple of times -watched it with my boys when they were in their young teens and those iconic goals and the moment when Sir Bobby lifts the trophy are good for the heart!

So today is the Spurs V Arsenal derby ... I support Spurs, DH supports Arsenal - tense household!!! This match could have huge implications for either side in the title race. Of course I want Spurs to win ... somehow feels a bit of a lose / lose situation though ... am drafting in DS1 who also supports Spurs for moral support!

I am an ardent Yeovil town fan for my sins and organise my life around their fixtures !Sad but true.

Do Yeovil still have their sloping pitch? Remember loads of comment about it when they had a run in the Cup though cannot remember when it was.

A draw - peace reigns in our house hold tonight!

Was really saddened to hear that Johann Cruyff has died. Remember watching him play for Holland many times. Wonderful footballer.

Hi Alima
No Yeovil Town moved from the famous slopping pitch many years ago.Sadly now it is a giant Tesco.I have very fond memories of that slopping pitch and sure our opponents dreaded playing on it.
