I was lucky enough to be 9 years old when England won the World Cup so Banks was a hero of mine before he came to Stoke that was the icing on the cake.
It was a proper team with the right amount of steel and flair and a fantastic manager who put it all together. Should have won the bloody league with it and certainly the FA Cup.
You owd git.Just been laughing about recording ' We'll Be With You'... saying they fuelled the players up with booze in order to get them in the mood.. recording it at Hatch and Trent's in Crystal Palace. I'd much prefer to be well but watching Burnley Man City with a bit of a legend (in pyjamas) is pretty mint. Oy, watch it, snowflakel! Some of us bought that record when it came out and were enormously proud of the whole 1972 adventure!

I was just 8 when we won the World Cup - great times, and I stupidly thought we'd do it again at the next World Cup as well - if only I'd known. I also bought the record when it came out and played it over and over until the needle wore out on my record player. Happy days !

Oh, Cheesy! Shock! Horror! WotchadoininTHEREmate? See - every time I'm off the MB for 2 or 3 days SOMETHING MEGA HAPPENS! Hope you're all right, sunbeam, and seriously, if you need anything please say so and those of us still out here in freedomland will sort it out between us. (Fel, in particular, seems extra-keen on making sure that your good lady is looked after. He's such a star. ) Anyway, just to enable you to keep up the hobnobbing……… tell MB that your good very best pal Murph was at Wembley in '72, a vision divine, head-to-toe in red & white: Red sleeveless trouser suit + white polo sweater, white shoulder bag + the usual R&W scarf……. I was sitting on the same side as the Royal Box but to the right of it, about halfway along. Ask him if he remembers hearing me yelling the place down when Peter Dobing turned round and held the League Cup up! Got no msgs for the Town Crier chap, though, sorry --- oh, perhaps you can shout that out to him……. (**clang clang, clang clang**) --- "OYEZ! OYEZ! Murph says to tell you she's got nothing to tell you………"

EEFC remain in 7th spot. 36 played +9 gd 65 points.
Man Utd on the same points above us by a +4 better gd.
We face them on the final day, which could pan out to decide our Euro fate. Man U have Huddersfield and obv then us.
Exciting stuff.

A core team of:
Bath Northy HarryB MBernard(c) Deeside Felonious Quietman Pearo Chuffed MSal Murphs
Subs: Cheees, Assassin, Maryland, Samba
WOLVES 3 v 4 EEFC (Ht.3v2) Scorers: MSal (pen) foul on her. Felonious header off a Pearo corner. Deeside (pen) awarded for another bringing down of MSal. Chuffed (penalty) foul in the box on Cheees who replaced an injured Sal. Mom: MSal.
EEFC 2 v 1 WEST HAM (H/t. 1v0) Scorers: HarryB off a Cheees set piece. Cheees header off a Chuffed corner. Mom: Cheees.
EEFC 3 v 3 CHELSEA (H/t. 1v2) Scorers: MSal off a Felonious set piece. Pearo (pen) MSal brought down. Felonious solo worldy. Mom: Felonious.
MAN CITY 4 v 5 EEFC (H/t. 2v2) Scorers: MBernard header off a HarryB corner. Bath solo worldy. Chuffed tap in assisted by Cheees. MBernard solo worldy. HarryB (pen) foul in the box on Pearo. Mom: MBernard.
BURNLEY 1 v 2 EEFC (H/t. 1v1) Scorers: Pearo tap in created by Northy. MSal solo worldy. Mom: Pearo.
BRIGHTON 0v1 EEFC (H/t. 0v0) Scorer: Chuffed (pen) foul on Pearo. Mom: Chuffed.
EEFC 4 v 2 LIVERPOOL (H/t. 2v1) Scorers: Chuffed off an indirect fk taken by Quietman. Cheees tap in, chance created by Chuffed. Felonious solo worldy. MSal tap in created by HarryB. Mom: Chuffed.
FULHAM 1 v 1 EEFC (H/t. 1v0) Scorer: Cheees (penalty) Murphs pulled down in the box. Mom:Cheees.
UIMS.
All poised for the last two games. A strong run of results from EEFC. Mermaidsal regularly finding the net, Chuffed and Felonious finishing the season particularly impressively, Cheees proving to be an invaluable asset coming off the bench. Strong captaincy from the new boy Bernard, but even that couldn't curtail Bath's wanderlust... solo keeper worldy vs Man City.
All to play for (Euro) in the next fortnight. Focus the Ommmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Swino cheeko. That's Spanish for cheeky pig. ( Althoughhhhhhhh............ there is a modicum of truth in your words……. Dry dock????? Heaven forfend! Ooooooh, LOOK: ) Actually, just joshin' --- it isn't really Spanish for cheeky pig. However, 'OYEZ' is Spanish for 'hear', in the imperative form, eg. as in 'Hear this'.

Best keep it handy just in case the new improved "level of service" is only temporary - but keep the top screwed on, we don't want any mistakes do we !

Sorry to hear you're in stir Cheees, fingers crossed they sort your head heel.
Utterly brill to hear you've been sectioned stationed alongside Micky B. Not only a hard player in a hard team, but also a skilfull player in a team that wasn't lacking its share of flair too.
As for getting him to turn out for EEFC, that's managerial genius. Doesn't seem to have done your stats too much harm playing alongside him, either.
Wishing all of you all the best, I'll leave you with this - at least you could bl00dy well eat your toast & drink you tea, even if they were arriving separately.
25 years ago I was in Stafford hospital for 3 weeks with a mashed up finger. Yeah, 3 weeks in hospital with a broken finger .... it was in a bit of a state, though. I'd dropped an oak beam on it & smashed it clean off. Anyway, every morning the nurses woke me up about 3 hours before I really wanted to wake. And they brought me coffee & toast. Lovely. Except my left hand was tied up to a drip stand to keep the swelling down. And my right hand was tied up to another drip stand on the other side of the bed with 3 drips of assorted drugs going into it. I couldn't feed myself so there sat my coffee & toast for half an hour until it went cold & they took it away again.
to be fair, nurses on dinner / tea shifts were happy enough to feed me. Just the morning shift seemed to be evil little blighters.

It has been the overnight into morning staff that have been particularly belligerent. I can empathize with your overnight double canula wiring... it's shit...

Watching their co ordinated whirlwind stripping and remaking beds is an absolute joy.... Let's hope this novelty and my grin endures for a bit...

I'm rather glad not to have any of 'those'........!!! I say this because I had the trainer to me, once, although it was Len Graham rather than Frankie Mountford! In the 1960s & 1970s the main trainers, from memory, were Frank Mountford, Dougie Brown, Len Graham and Tony Lacey. From the age of about 7 to about 20 I used to suffer very badly with very, very serious nosebleeds which used to go on for hours & hours and last until I passed out - generally they happened every time I had a cold - my late mother and grandmother had been exactly the same, so it was purely a hereditary thing and more a huge inconvenience than anything serious. Anyway, when I was about 16 or so my father and I went to the Saturday afternoon match at the Vic as usual --- opposite the main entrance there was a small SCFC Supporters' Club and if we ever got to the ground on the early side we always used to go in there for a drink before a game because it was very close to the entrance gate we used to go in through to get to our seats in the Boothen Stand. This one particular time we were sitting in there and right out of the blue a nosebleed decided to start and so I just sat there with a hankie up to my face, waiting for it to stop - but it didn't. We were still there at half-time, whereupon the door suddenly opened and in walked Len Graham! I don't know how on earth it happened, but somehow the news of my 'state' had filtered through to the Trainer and when he wasn't needed at HT for the team he actually decided to come across to see if he could help! How about that THAT! Talk about a SHOCK! All I can say is that he must have had healing hands, because the nosebleed stopped almost at once and my father and I were then able to go and watch the second half. So I might be the only SCFC supporter who ever had the Trainer attending to ME during a match!

The battle of Tea/Toast was hard won and unfortunately victory has been short lived and somewhat phirric, the TC5 have been split up, moved on and/or discharged.. maybe it sent ripples through the hospital, litmus test in the a.m. I havn't got the same patient back up on my new ward... but things are picking up.... havn't stopped smiling at the physical manifestations of Dr.Seuss' Thing 1&2. Watching their co ordinated whirlwind stripping and remaking beds is an absolute joy.... Let's hope this novelty and my grin endures for a bit... Unfortunately M.Bernard's loan spell is over, we'll have to dig deep and deal with these last two fixtures ourselveses. *he left with a parting anecdote regarding Frank Mountford wartime hardman and later club coach/physio.... "Frank had a particular approach with his magic sponge... he'd ask where iy hurt and no matter what would grab yer bollocks with it and make you stand up." UIMS Must be something about that shift that turns angels into demons. I was terrorized by one who I'd known at school and quietly fancied. Not terrorized in a bad way, maybe teased mercilessly would be closer. Flirtatious and seemingly offering gifts i couldn't collect, tied up to multiple drip stands as i was. Came to a head one night after id been down for my third op + she was taking my obs at about 3am. She looked tired and said her feet were aching so, in a morphine haze, I suggested she could lie down on my bed. She definitely grinned but declined and said she needed to see the doc about my swelling. Oh, thinks I, my finger must be swollen. Oh no, what I got was a 6am iced bed bath. Bloody little minx! As for the synchronised t+t, maybe take the temporary victory and surrender quietly. You cant win in the long run, you never know what they might put in your tea. I'd heard stories about the legendary Frank Mountford. Like he always had a bottle of linament in his pocket but it was filled with Bells. If the players suspected he'd had a few too many nips they'd start going down injured on the far side of the pitch and make him run about. Until the point came each game where he'd refuse to go on to treat them unless they were within 10 yards of the dugout.

Ha ha... it's far more civilized on this ward it seems... tonights night staff is two Czech hardmen, you won't be getting many squeeeks from Cheees toneet. I've got crazy images of F. Mountford.. apparently his gonad grabbing technique was one he'd fall back on in all sorts of situations. He lived in Norton near to where Bernard lodged. Bernard had been out 'courting' missed his Turners last bus and was late back to the digs... when he got back, out of breath, Frankie M was waiting for him, and yes you guessed it...... Mike said he was never late again.... I've got an image of people being cautious, self protective, maybe even wearing a cricket box when in Franks company. Nuts as they say...

I'm unlucky to be in the high dependency unit in Aberystwyth. Loads of CPR and two electrical shocks. Chest is killing me. Hopefully out before the end of the week. Keep up the good work everyone.

Oh heck Chuffed.. I was unaware of all that. Wishing you all the best from one sick bed to another. Bloody hell it's been a tough season (all round). Only two games left for EEFC hang on in there....... If it's any consolation, something to distract you momentarily from your woes... U'm hanging around waiting for larvae to arrive... maggot treatment commences as soon as...... (I've asked if I can have them for fishing bait when they've done, they're checking protocols to see.)... I have some philosophical questions about these here maggots... will they take on some of the essence of me?) Chin up.

Sorry to hear that Chuffed. I must admit I did check on your posts very early this morning and assumed you were looking after your father from the posts.

I caught a few minutes of Giles Brandreth on QI last week talking about cannibalism. He's visited a tribe in India who feed their dead relatives to fish and then eat the fish so technically he'd consumed human flesh.
