@lucyjaynewhite1 So John Barnes shouldn't have played for England then, or Terry Butcher; two of our greats in past years. Thick fascist dope. "If I can shoot rabbits, then I can shoot fascists."

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

@_ChrisLepkowski @UtdBeforFergie @80sculturefan @sid_lambert Pretty sure Robson, Wilkins and Hoddle started the WC in Mexico, first two matches, with Waddle as a wide 3rd attacker supporting Lineker and Hateley. Probably one tournament too far for Butch. Hoddle didn't contribute enough for England which was a real shame.

@80sculturefan @sid_lambert @UtdBeforFergie One of the best footballers of my lifetime. I know it is not the done thing to criticise Bobby Robson, so I am going to hammer Don Howe influence for not allowing SBR to build a midfield central 3 of Robson-Wilkins-Hoddle. Howe and his 4 4 bloody 2

@1968Tv @markcummins1 @ITVX Good to see an Irish game feature. Truth be told, that game v England in 1990 ( Sheedys rocket apart) was turgid.

@stusfootyflash A lot of people aren't aware Gazza's problems in adult life began at the age of 10, when his 8-year-old friend died in his arms in the road following a road accident. A terrible thing for a young kid to go through, but to then be thrust into the biggest spotlight of all...wow!

Today marks 35 years since Paul Gascoigne’s infamous tackles in the FA Cup Final. Here Des Lynam & Jimmy Hill look at Gazza’s behaviour at Wembley that day, and the impact his injury might have. A damning assessment from two of the best in the business.

@rogeradey1 @MemorabiliaMal What was the reason so many games were played on a Sunday back then? Very unusual as they weren't on TV. Was there some other reason?

May 1st 1982: Twelve Sea Harriers from HMS Hermes prepare to take off to strike Argentine targets; nine to Stanley and three to Goose Green, most with 1,000lb bombs set to explode mid-air, on impact and one after an hour, to keep them guessing, plus some with cluster bombs. 1/2
