Turny Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Surely Wood must be on the transfer list for some of the big clubs, some of his goals have been stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only top 7 or 8 team that could cater for him would possibly be Everton imo.No denying that he is scoring goals and top draw at that!

Love watching Chris play and score but he is certainly in the "old fashioned centre-forward" mould and would simply not fit the system of most EPL clubs. Glad Burnley have stayed up. Last night was a thoroughly entertaining couple of hours. Leicester threw it away against Spurs and missed out on CL. Their injury woes finally caught up with them. Arsenal missed out on Europe but in a way I'm pleased as the rebuild will continue next season not distracted by playing crap teams from Europe's minnows. Might be hard to sign some stars to upgrade in defensive midfield and up front although Martinelli, Smith-Rowe, Saka, etc will form the core of a very promising team that could be a top 4 side in a couple of years. Good to see Kun Aguero go out with a couple of goals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think Pep saw him as part of his team initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguero showed his class when scoring off the bench.He made those difficult chances into great finishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hey Craigos I am a fellow Leeds fan. I have been to Elland Road three times in recent years. The last time 2019 to a midweek game 8pm kick off against Brentford when it was packed full. The previous visit to Elland Road was in 2017 about 6 weeks after the All Blacks v Lions game at Wellington Stadium. It was like going from a wake to a giant party the atmosphere was so electric. My wife accompanied me and she summed it up well after the game when she said to me that it was so loud that if I spoke to her in the first 20 minutes of the game then she would not have heard me. I have been supporter since I was 7 when my brother chose Chelsea because of Chelsea sugar so I chose Leeds because of Leed Lemonade. Back then Don Revie was still playing for Leeds We have been to hell and back a few times but when there is success, it is so sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 G'day Bloke, Like you I too picked them because of my favourite Fizz Drink. My first memory of a Leeds Match is when my Father woke me up to watch the 1973 FA Cup Final , A match Leeds lost 1 - 0 to Sunderland. Good to know I've got another Leeds fan. Craig.

Bloke Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Oh yes the 1973 Cup Final. At the time I was flatting on The Terrace in Wellington. We held a party prior to kick off which from memory was about 3am. As Sunderland were the under dogs everybody apart from my good Lady at the time and myself were Sunderland. Sad result but still good memories. Of course we won it in 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the Sunderland manager but a bit of an eccentric named Bob Stokoe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School C back that far ago was probably about how well you could catch a toheroa at the beach, or draw a couple of straight lines in tech drawing. Us younger ones actually had to learn stuff.

(it was intended as humour - it obviously failed). I think Pete would know roughly how old I am.

Turf Digest was what I had. But was following racing and betting from intermediate school age. My teacher used to love the racing and when Levin was on (Grey Way, Copper Belt etc), she would let some of us leave school to go down the road (or listen to the early races on the radio). I was fortunate enough to not really need to study at school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 In School C era Max caught the school bus every day (twice) and spent most of the 25k journey studying Turf Digest, Best Bets and the Friday Flash ..if memory serves, the Flash was studied on Fridays but don't take my word for it, I failed School C biology. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
