Jones wasn't a hard man, just a thug in a football shirt. Bremner, Case, Smith and Harris were hard men, ferocious in the tackle but could play as well.

Long range screamers from 30 yards out. Nowadays, any long(ish) range shots are usually placed shots from barely 20 yards out. 

I’ve just watched one ten mins ago  in the Palace game LOL

Wasn't watching that game but was talking about the general trend. But, yeah, it just had to happen, didn't it.

Elliot scored one against Wolves on Tuesday but it's still not as common as it was.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Yeah i agree. If you watched the football league highlights on a Saturday night you'd probably see them regularly, but at the highest level they're not that common

The passing has got overdone imo now and teams try to pass the ball forever into the net.  It was a novelty seeing teams doing it 10 years ago but even all sh*tty teams are trying to play the Barca 2011 ball.
I'm not saying I like hoofball far from it but variety is the spice of life.

I dont like clones.

Not sure about the rest but snoods are banned!

What an era that was, Tevez in his snood.

You never see a team who are winning by a goal crossing the ball in the last minute and losing possession then the other team going up the other end and scoring an equaliser

Like Ginola did for France one time 

It’s all too structured and safe these days

It would always be from some random place too. Not like say Exeter or Doncaster etc..

Graham Poll from Tring (Don't why that one has stuck in my mind)
Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn

Long sleeved jerseys.  

Nose yokes that Robert Fowler used to wear

A player walking off with the matchball after a hat trick

Interviews in random places like the bootroom or hallway post match with no advertsing board beind the interviewee

Think they have to do it in case the Ref gives a dodgy decision and people start asking where he is from etc.
