Why did Greenwood give up on the Coppell/Barnes combo?...In the qualification for the 82 world cup he regressed to a 4/4/2 style which caused no end of confusion..In the qualification for Euro 80 England walloped their opponents...Keegan's absence for a lot of the 1980/81 season also undermined his plans but he forsake the promise of the early adventure of this late 1970s period..
Strange people the Northern Irish they paint their houses red white and blue. They march up and down waving the union Jack,they build bonfires and burn an effigy of A man in green on top. When they play England they take off the Red White and Blue put on the Green then cheer for a team in Green and Against England. They then take off the Green and put the Red White and Blue back on. Then back on the march against the green. bizarre
