Watching re-runs of 70's and 80's The Big Match on Saturday mornings I've noticed that YNWA was not exclusively a Liverpool anthem. Many a time various teams supporters are seen holding scarves aloft singing the Liverpool anthem. So any idea when YNWA became exclusive to the Scousers? Can't remember ever hearing it sung in the Loft. |

7 June 1970.The date of the greatest-alleged-goalkeeping save ever. The Mexico World Cup Group 3 match between England and Brazil. Midday kick off in the blazing heat of Guadalajara (7pm our time.) I remember as an 11 year old watching this with my old man on our black and white TV. A great game of football between two top sides settled by a second half goal set up with a pass from Pele and Jairzinho rifling home from just outside the box.. However,the match will always be remembered for THAT save by Gordon Banks from Pele's header. The greatest goalkeeping save ever? |

In real life Dennis Waterman was-I'm afraid-a Chelsea supporter. Des, the mechanic in the series, was a QPR fan. |

I know some Spurs fans who still insist that they have had a better season than Arsenal because they have a trophy in the cabinet and will be playing Champions League football next season. Conveniently forgetting their team has lost 22 out of 38 league games. OK the season is over, but if one of the 3 relegated Prem teams had had a bit more about them and mustered up 39 points Spurs would not only be playing Champions League football next season but Championship football as well!!! To think Rangers finished 2nd back in '76 and 5th in '84 and for all that effort all we got was UEFA cup football. Different times agreed but it seems harder nowadays not to qualify for European football than it does for it. |

And don't forget Alec Stock and of course RODNEEE! Both legends. No Rodney probably no Stanley? |

Spot on there Nov77. The track "It Was A Very Good Year" I can totally relate to being the age that I am! |

Hi Go to discogs.com enter Sex Pistols Never Mind and search for "filter by country" (UK). The copy you have if it's from 1977 with the pink blank cover and blue and white Virgin label could be worth a few bob depending on the condition of the record and the sleeve. |

Just gone on You Tube and for the first time in years I listened to the Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" album. Headphones turned up and WOW! how brilliant were those 11 tracks? For 35-40 minutes I was (cue for a song) seventeen again. Anyone else got an album that they've come back to after many a year and thought how fantastic it still sounds? |

Quite correct but the issue stays as is because either Braintree-in Essex- or Dagenham-London Borough of Barking/Dagenham-could get relegated. |

Sorry my mistake. Maidenhead got relegated! Berkshire, still not National League North territory I wouldn't have thought. |
 | Forum Thread | National League Conundrum ? at 11:13 29 Apr 2025
Looking at the final National League table the four relegated teams are Wealdstone,Maidenhead,Fylde and Ebbsfleet. From my understanding two of these relegated teams will play next season in National League North and two in national League South. Fylde are based in Lancashire so that's easy. However Wealdstone is in the London Borough of Harrow, Maidenhead and Ebbsfleet are in the county of Kent. So-unless I am missing the point- how can any of those 3 teams play in National League North come August? I realise Oxford City were dumped into NL North but could a team from a London borough be playing in that league next season? Any ideas? Thanks. |

Hopefully this will be irrelevant but if not how about Rob Edwards. A fresh challenge for him and worth thinking about if Marti leaves. |

One more win.But where from? Oxford,Preston Sunderland away. Maybe a point at Oxford or Preston. Bristol City,Swansea,Burnley at home. City pushing for the play-offs ,Burnley don't lose. Swansea..... That game could be this years Birmingham! Let's hope so. Safe...just. |

Seen on the club website... "Football on a smaller scale comes to QPR" Judging by the front line on Saturday I thought it already had! |

Hi if you're of "mature" years like me how about these, Up Front (Clive Allen) Guiding Me Home And Away (Dave Thomas) I Was Born A Loose Cannon (Rodney) ...Controversial but a good read. Priceless (Rodney) Shooting To The Top (Rodney)...This was published in 1968 and covers the League Cup triumph and the 67-68 promotion. Still Saying Sorry (Don Masson)...The 75-76 season is covered. Ray Eaton in AKUTRS often reviews QPR related books but I can't recall anything re Taarabt or Faurlin. Hope this helps. |
