:snoop:

I sub to the Dyck Cavett show on YT. Got some classic interviews on there with iconic celebrities from the past.

And one of the suggestions it has a debate with Enoch Powell if you don't know who he is, google. Very famous Tory :mjpls:. And Jonathan Miller, who was a director, writer satirist etc. This interview is from 1971 and what Powell was saying then is no different to the idiots talking points now. What these phucking idiots forget that Caribbean and Asians communities were invited in the first place to help rebuild the country after the war. Pure Anglo Saxon is a myth really, when the reality is England is a country made up of mongrels.


I come to this thread for the football banter & i stay for the jewels :whoo:

Dan James isn't horrible, he just looks lost in the system. I think he would thrive under bielsa is he did land at leeds. Someone who will help him understand the mental part of the game would change his career

Robben being second to Cruyff is a little surprising, but I couldn’t tell you someone to replace him tbf :ld:

Van Basten or Gulllit.

Both had been Ballon d'Or winners in their peak. Van Basten won it 3 times. 2 CL wins and both Euro 88 win.

It's a shyt list. When they don't even put Matthaus on it.

England's is :flabbynsick: from the Black and White TV era
