MOTM performance in Norwich's 1-0 win away to Luton Town the other night. There was a nice moment after the game, with Duffy hugging and chatting with a dejected Mark McGuinness. Not sure if they've been in squads together before, but good to see some togetherness among the Irish lads.
As you might know, McGuinness's father is a Derry man so that might also be a connection.Quote:

No but, as I saw in a comment on Twitter earlier, the move should suit him as they drive on the same side of the road as he seems to a fair bit of the time.Quote:

Anyway, Barca agree a fee for Johan Cruijff, which as we know in hindsight was a very successful transfer. Thing is, they couldn't easily pay for him. In the end, the loophole they found involved Ajax billing Barca for "agricultural machinery".Quote:
