All the soft, rich, mommy’s boys went there. The hard lads went to Aston and Camp Hill. Nobody gave a fuck about anyone who went to Five Ways.
I still don't even know where Five Ways is and I played cricket there.

I left STAGS in 1977 before going on my travels. Is STAGS still standing?

Aston from 76 to 83. Used to spend many a lunchtime walking round inside the stadium. Few autographs too, Andy Gray, John Gidman to name a few😁

KEGS Camp Hill now Kings Heath.  Several alumni on these threads.


KEGS Aston me.

KES Edgbaston me.

King of KE schools.

Camp Hill, hard, right, if you say so but agree with your comment about KESE.  Ex-Kings Norton GS and at least we played with right-shaped balls!

If you’re ranking Aston vs Camp Hill, I mean it’s Aston every time. And yes I had to find my real football elsewhere although I did play rugby for all my years there. With my good mate, staunch nose Mark Harrison. Our Academy Manager.

LOL that’s what I’m saying. Nobody knew or cared who, what, where they were and nobody tried to find out.

Is that right ? On the bench at the Albion whilst RLC not in the 18.

Smith was talking about an attacking player coming in. It sounded like a wide player who could play up front rather than a midfielder like Barkley.

Nah, c'mon, that is just not true regarding Salah. Certainly Chelsea fans will disagree with you. And M knows this and has since studiously laid the blame for the selling of Salah elsewhere - it was "the club", not him.


Don't agree really. Family member is a chelsea fan and its meh as far as he was concerned.

Oh, case closed then.


Suit yourself. Albrighton going looks a mistake with hindsight, but i certainly don't beat up the manager at the time about it, because he'd been largely shit for ages and that's all you can go on.

Bit of a blind spot when you're talking about two of the best players in Europe and probably one of the very best in the world in De Bruyne. Piss poor management to let them go.

Like I said if you can find any articles written at the time about how ace Salah was at Chelsea, or what a mistake Mourinho was making letting him go to Roma then by all means post them. He made little impression at Chelsea and I doubt most people had realised he'd left.  All a massive case of hindsight because of his success at Liverpool rather than Mourinho dumping an acclaimed future star.  De Bruyne, granted a lot of people did rate him when he was at Chelsea and a very poor decision.

Do we think this means we're going to 4-4-2? Or JG continues to play on the leftside?

Huh? Having a dig at him before he even signs. (if it even happens) how very Villa.
