Tackling is going out of the game and I for one would love to see it brought back 10 or 15 years ago we would see a decent tackle now the physicality is almost gone from the game I dont think Hutton went out to hurt Long he just went in hard to win the ball.

And if both our full backs take the same view then we'll be playing most games with nine men.He looks like he's auditioning for Street Fighter 2. It's awful.

.He cost £2m , and that looks about right for me.
I have to take particular care not to dwell on the old days because I know how boring old blokes are but when you consider that the man with the Bovril tank on his back was not allowed within four or five yards of the field of play when we played Blackpool because everybody knew that was where Stanley Matthews was going. Out of courtesy to such a magnificent player he had to be afforded a soft landing.
