But we all know that’s not what they are referring too (well most of them) - thanks to Thatcher mostly it all got taken away

If only they treated them like they do English football fans...

I just looked up a couple of statistics.. Life expectancy in 1975 72, now 78.. car related fatalities 1975 - 8,000, now 2,000... there will be a 1000 more I'm sure....

"Most" doing a lot of lifting here - I'm guessing it's "Most of our senile readers over 70 who still think we are a serious newspaper"..

is there a Government anywhere on this planet with politicians not using their position to line their pockets - at least it is expected when you have a dicitatorship

Can't the Spanish Police just move in and deport them all.. it would be the right thing to do..

Got to admit I did love the 70s.. National Front Marches, Bulldog sellers at London Football grounds, the Troubles in NI, 3 day weeks, national strikes, racist TV programmes.. mind you there was no internet so not all bad...

The World Cup draw is going to be the most sycophantic and sickening ones of all time. Gianni will have his “player forum” greats, the presidents of corrupt governing bodies and, of course, the Orange one collecting his prize. If only we could just all boycott this but will never happen

Presumably UEFA will soon follow suit on Champions League finals and EUROs despite being sometimes critical of FIFA.

For the good of the individuals within FIFA’s bank balances….

Absolutely that

I do actually remember when the DT was a serious newspaper even if I didn't always agree with some of its stances. Ever since the Barclays bought it it has descended to the floor quicker than Jurgen Klismann

Maybe just a silly walk?

I am still waiting for someone to be sent off like Xhaka v Swansea(?) when he fouled someone in the opposition half and was sent off doe denying a GSO

We all know it only happens to us*.. see also Granit Xhaka's time at Arsenal

* - I may be very biased...

Reminds of this classic.. youtu.be/v6v2aXmuWtA?...

When Wenger sides played beautiful football and then lost to a set piece or a bit of thuggery we were soft/weak and whining crybabies…

Every year David Squires captures the whole “poppy wars” in football brilliantly - here’s a wonderful single frame
