Anyone watching England U-19's vs France U-19's?

The French have a young lad called Brahimi who is easily a cut above anybody on the field.

Not as bad you being in that same seat since the age of 5 is it a wooden one?

Not at all, one of those lovely plastic types you see everywhere now. Talking of wood is the main stand at Anfield still home to many wooden seats?

You wouldn't want me any other way.

It was a school thing – you either liked football or speedway. I'd liked football for years. If you liked football, you were expected to be either red or blue. I picked blue. That was the early '70s. And so it grew.

Ah, so you're a glory hunter then.

Although once it had become clear that I liked football, he liked to buy me Shoot and football cards. As something of a tomboy, I think it made him feel I was almost a boy.

Football magazines, boy those were the days. I might go buy a copy of Four Four Two to relive some past memories.

Is that Ljajic playing for Serbia?

Ignore that, he is. Looks pretty quick, he's playing up top I think.

Watching that Ljajic, he plays like Kaka. He seems to be able to drift players with ease, he doesn't look that quick but he is. His control is good as well, he seems to create time on the ball. His end product obviously isn't there, but at 17/18 he looks frightening.
