Quoted from Rodley Mariner


I can't work out if this is serious or some sort of subtle, iron-filings styled tribute. Either way it made me laugh.


Pleased to be of service Rodley!

Take your pick.

Quoted from LH
If you’ve not watched the film you should. Wish I was a few years older so I could have seen him at the time.


Just this.

It'll change your view on him.

Was he wrong to handball against England? Of course.  But then I don't remember many of us fretting too much when Michael Coulson sneaked one in with his hand in the 3-2 win against Bournemouth back in the ill-fated relegation season.  

If you're genuinely happy to see someone die because they handled a football, please seek professional help as this is not healthy.

Not happy. Just not sad. Of all the former pro footballers who have died this year, or of any celebrities who have shuffled off this mortal coil, Maradona is the one I least give a excrement about.  The least deserving of my sorrow.

You could make a case for saying that the blatant cheating by Maradona in that game encouraged the whole cheating culture to grow to the extent that it has reached today. Diego has a hand in the misdeeds of Michael and Thierry. No amount of whataboutism will ever make me say that’s alright then Diego, have that one on us.

The version where England win Italia 90 isn’t that different to be honest.

The Daily Mail employ lip readers to establish that Gazza’s tears induce pent up desires in Gary Lineker. As Gazza blubbers, Gary turns to Sir Bobby and says, “I really want him”, not “Have a word with him”.

Gary and Gazza elope and set up a string of sh1t bars in Spanish seaside resorts

Steve Hodge and Steve Bull replace the lovestruck Spurs duo in the Final. Hodge. Bull. 1-0. Goals pay the rent and Bull does his share.

Steve Bull signs a lucrative deal to promote British beef in the wake of the BSE scandal. “Bully’s Beef - you’d be mad not to”

Poses with Gummer. Goes mad. Mounts anything with udders, including a surprised Gazza in Linekers Marbella.

England still lose to Sweden at Euro 92, with Bull leading the line in an Umbro straightjacket. Gazza and Gary are watching it unfold in Linekers Torremolinos. Bromance. Darling. Brolin!

Steve Bull and Nigel Farage form a political party. BullKIP

Bull has a fallout with The Guardian (it’s just a red rag to The Bull) and, still upset about Euro 92, sets out to demonise the Swedes

Viking FM is taken off air

Ulrika is imprisoned in a flat pack prison

PM Bull appoints Mike Newell as player manager of England instead of Sven, and Gary and Gazza live happily ever after

Zhang Enhua decides he doesn’t want to leave China for BullKIP’s oppressive, authoritarian regime. Peter Handyside(s) ends up playing over 800 matches for Town and gets awarded a Grimsby ‘s’ in the New Year’s Honours List






I genuinely laughed out loud at that. Neighbours must think I’m off my trolley.

Thank you.

To all those calling him a drugs cheat. Yes he tested positive for a banned substance, that substance being ephedrine - similar to what you and I can buy over the counter as Sudafed. Banned yes but hardly performance enhancing, particularly not compared to growth hormones a certain other Argentinian takes.

You have to remember he was blottoed off his skull on charlie most the time and I can’t imagine that made it easier to perform.

He thought he was bigger and better than the game that gifted him his fame. I admire his ability but I have zero respect for anyone who treats the game as their personal property and so shabbily.

I'd counter that by suggesting the game was gifted Maradona, not the other way round.

Loads of people talking about the Asif Kapadia documentary, which is great but as I mentioned earlier, people should also watch the Maradona in Mexico series on Netflix if they haven't. The Kapadia documentary is unbiased and goes into all the seedy, tragic details of his life. The series in Mexico strips all that away though and focuses on when he was in charge of Dorados de Sinaloa in 2018/19. His passion and love for both the game and the squad of players is compelling to watch at times. It's pretty much purely about football. That side of him gets lost in all the coke and mafia stuff and wasn't how he'd have wanted to be remembered. Him playing coked up wasn't the only factor that was working against him, his life was a constant circus so to achieve what he did was phenomenal with everything going on.
