The day after England's semi-final penalty shootout loss, non-football fans were all talking about it and suddenly full of opinions on the merits (or otherwise) of certain players and Gazza's tears.

It had become a cultural moment. The same almost happened for Mexico 86, especially with the hand of God, but the time difference was still too much of a barrier. Italia 90 built upon the drama of Mexico 86, but hit the winning formula of a banger of a theme tune.
Oh do f**k off. You were 4 years old when Gazza won over the nations hearts and us football fans we're no longer classed as hoolies. What do you know about it?

(Based on my theory, I’m predicting 1998, wherever that was).
Yep, 98 was my fave. The eight year wait after first getting into football was unbearable so the excitement was massive

Worth the price of the cinema ticket on her own!

Johna Amos has died, aged 84. He was in loads of films you'd have seen in the 80s and 90s. You'll remember him most as Major Grant in Die Hard 2, who led the group of marines that went rogue and switched sides.

Confirmed. Dead, aged 69.

Which, for a scotch, could be a record.

Careful celtient. 1Ders are absolutely savage. PJ is probably coordinating a pile on as we speak.
