He also captained Villa for a while

Dennis Mortimer was the most important person in the world to me (a slight exaggeration) for a few days. Then I finally swapped something for his panini sticker and moved on to someone else. In my head, I like to think that was Gary Shaw but it probably wasn’t.

I'm sure Thommo once said something about he and Mortimer being two lads from the same school who went on to lift the European Cup in consecutive years.

 

What's funny about that Villa side is that for years they had Doug Ellis on the club's board, and they were a mid-table club who would have the odd decent season, maybe winning a League Cup at best, but flirt with relegation (and even fall through the trap door once or twice) every now and then. He got kicked off the board, and they went on to win the league title and then the European Cup. Then Ellis was voted back onto the board, after which they became a mid-table club who would have the odd decent season, maybe winning a League Cup at best, but flirt with relegation (and even fall through the trap door once or twice) every now and then.

So you're saying our neighbors need to sack Kenwright off ?

Just watched the Benfica game on FreeSports on BT. Benfica must have put crowd noise thru the tannoy system, nothing loud, no singing, just drone, they also draped a scarf over every seat. Makes it easier to watch compared  to the Sporting game now, no noise and no colour in the stands. It’s shit.

Yeah I saw a few mins of that Benfica game, very eerie. Bored the piss out of me, mind you football was boring me before the lockdown!

If you find this season boring it's probably time to just pack it in.

Football has bored me for years, but I can't stay away, it's like an addiction. I've tried leaving it behind completely but it's always in the back of my mind niggling at me.

Drew with Tondela and some fans attacked the Benfica bus with rocks after, inuring two players. Could have gone 2 points clear of Porto at the top.

One of them was Julian Weigl, who was also on the Dortmund coach that was involved in a bomb attack a few years back.

Must be shite following German football with Bayern hoovering up titles. Worse still, if anybody has the temerity to put up a proper challenge they just buy their best players.

 

It’s like Scotland without the smack and dickheads. 
 

I can’t wait until I can stop pretending I care about it due to the deep existential void that has become my ‘weekend’.
