Wee shout out to Lewis Ferguson who captained Bologna to their first trophy in 51 years (?)

Also - Scotland have a midfield of Gilmour, Ferguson, McGinn and McTominay…

That’s suddenly quite good.

97/98? That was the zenith of computer games. Been playing it on Dos Box and won the title with Las Palmas on the last day of the season by a goal, from Valencia. Having lost.

An ageing Bakero was my hero, in his last season before retirement.

Halcyon days. Bring the site back, Iain!

Souness in Sampdoria days was a sight to behold.

Then again, this may just be the Samp Kit doing its thing 😍

Question for radio: who was more handsome in their prime; Souness or Keegan?

So good to see a couple of Italian strikers at the top of the scoring charts again.

(It put us in the mood to play a Capocannoniere quiz from the late 80s onwards)

Brilliant trip overall - and still a day to go (we have to forgo our San Siro trip on Mon as we’re flying home in the morning)

Ciao!

Enjoyed some great food and found it very funny that Tennants Super is seen as a premium product…

T-shirts were purchased with Italia 90 feel… ‘funny’ nicknames in tow. My mate “Ger” features here…

Ended up at a Hellas fan bar afterwards… which was mental, but they were very generous.

Retegui 🤌

With all the chat about Ryan Christie, I wrote this piece this time
last year, when a few of us were getting quite excited by him and Iraola.

I’m sure we can all agree that whoever the new manager is, they must play “the West Ham way”, for that is “all we ask”.

Respectfully, you’re forgetting intertoto qualifiers, Iain.

Early start this year… in Dubai… probably 🤷

And you, Jimbo!

I revel in this patter

If Ruben Amorim somehow turns things around it could attract the attention of illusionists he happens to look like, such as David Blaine.

Spot on with that assessment, David!

A very happy New Year to you both!

Many thanks 🙏
