Webb, Hurst, Hudson, Venables,Ball and Marsh. Only one I am not sure of is the cigar smoker -
looks like Terry Neill?

Magnificent player - the over-used word icon can be used in his case.

Reading this nonsense from wenger makes me sad. The one person who was supposed to not be for sale and whose morals were unquestionable and is now trotting out this fifa propaganda (not to mention suggesting the World Cup should be every 2 years)

It's Terry Mancini. And he's the only one who looks at all comfortable to me in this strangely fascinating picture.

Thought Hurst was Roger Daltrey at first glance which is a resemblance I'd never noticed before and possibly doesn't really exist. No idea why Webb, Hurst and Venables are standing on chairs, nor why Alan Ball is lounging on the floor like that, though I'd rather he wasn't.

Noteworthy that even back then Venables was so bent that his arms didn't fold properly.

Portugal with 5 lucky goals, lucky domination of possession and several lucky beautiful passages of play against the Swiss. Nothing to fear here…

It's nauseating how it was still somehow all about Ronaldo. Morocco must be desperately hoping that he is selected.

I don't know this but I seem to recall that the board were seriously considering getting Venables to manage us after Rioch. Again, I don't know for sure and am open to being corrected about it but if so, how well would we have likely done (or rather how badly) under him? Total supposition of course.

L to R:

Brian Talbot, don't know, Tommy Caton(??), John Devine, PEELY, Graham Rix, Kenny Sansom, David O'Leary, Paul Davis

I think 2nd from left is Brian McDermott. 3rd left is not Tommy Caton - he didn't arrive until 1984. Picture is 1981.

Imagine living in the home to the lower left?! What surprised me the most when I visited Highbury was just how close to the stadium the homes were.

I see Raheem Sterling is to re-join the England squad, now that his personal problems - all of which have been detailed and discussed in the media - have been resolved.

I'm by no means social media savvy, nor have I searched the media particularly deeply, but I have seen no trace whatever of an explanation, nor even any comment on Ben White's absence. Does anyone find that strange?

Yes. It seems very odd indeed.

In fact it is surprising in today’s climate that it is possible to keep things under wraps like that.

I did see a suggestion that he is a gay man and being threatened in some way of a public 'outing'. Absolutely unsubstantiated and probably complete bs.

Looks like she could cause a few personal problems.

Might solve a few too.

Alex Ferguson playing for Rangers against Arsenal in 1967. Surreal.

Looks like we have a goalkeeper who can stop penalties. Hein stopped 4 penalty kicks from going in. We scored 2 Marqui and Smith (not Emile Smith Rowe I think).

Just seen a clip of the penalties. Truly dreadful all round.

Hmmm. I think it could be a bit more nuanced than “vile”, Rotter.

Times have changed to a remarkable degree. Wouldn’t be a problem for me, nor I’d hope for this august forum.

I’d go further. I think Gooners generally would be entirely supportive - witness the rainbow banners that adorn the stadium. I think the media would absolutely laud him and the football world would totally embrace and support him. On a personal financial level, he would absolutely clean up.

Who but an obvious neanderthal knuckle-dragger would - or could - criticise, risking getting nicked for doing so? I actually think most crowds would applaud him. To be fair to our nearby neighbours, they applauded Saka in support for the stick he took after missing that pen. I think the whole nation would breath a collective sigh of relief that someone has finally done it.

I actually think I’d love those rumours to be true.

As my father said to me many years ago ‘I don’t care what other people do and neither should you, unless they make it compulsory’ . Good advice about a lot of things. I only want him to be a great player for us. Full stop.

I’ve got a feeling for Vieira in the second half of the season. Technically he’s there and has incredible ball striking. He missed nearly all of pre season and so these 4 weeks with the coaches and in Dubai are huge for him.

So this story has appeared in the UK media about White.
