Early B-Sides are incredible.

Oasis probably have some of the strongest B-sides as evidenced by the masterplan album and the amount of those songs that made the live 25 set list.

I think KOL had some equally amazing B-Sides early on in their career. I would say that my third house, woo hoo and head to toe would comfortably be among the best songs on any album released since because of the times.

I wish that they still had a life apart from the hardcore fans and were played live

The best team in Europe maybe even the world.

Does it drive anyone else mad when commentators use this expression to value a player or team (when talking about club football). I hate to be euro centric but don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the best players in their peak play in Europe. European teams due to the sheer talent that plays in Europe are far superior to other parts of the world.

“Man City win the treble which proves they are the best team in Europe, possibly the world”

Sorry mate. Do you think Orlando Pirates might give them a run for their money

Football is becoming all about genetics.

I miss the ears of fat little number 10’s. Support strikers who aren’t quick or big but can finish. Centre mids that can’t get around the pitch but have a wand of a left foot.

It seems today you have to be big strong fast and have an engine otherwise you don’t fit in modern football.

I know a few short players havnt done too badly (messj, xavi etc) but they seem to be a thing of the past.

I hate to see football become like the NBA and you only get the chance to play if you’ve won the genetics lottery.

Juan Mata is one of the most sublime players of the last decade but he doesn’t fit as he isn’t a centre mid. He can’t play the 10 role or as a winger as is physical make up means you doesn’t have the attributes modern managers want.

Help needed finding missing letters for 1998/99 Beckham Lextra nameset

Long story short, I recently had the opportunity to meet David Beckham and, in a bit of a rush, I ordered a felt No. 7 from the treble-winning Manchester United season.
Unfortunately, I didn’t do my research beforehand and only realised afterwards that there were player-size and replica-size versions of the Lextra Chris Kay nameset.
I’m now trying to complete the set so I can get the signed 7 framed properly, but I’m struggling to find the missing letters.
I’m looking for:
A
C
Specifically, I’m looking for the replica-size, felt Lextra Chris Kay letters from around the 1998/99 season, and I need them to match the style and size of the 7 I already have.
I’ve searched everywhere I can think of — eBay, football shirt sites, specialist sellers etc. — but can’t seem to find individual letters in the correct size.
If anyone knows where I could find an A and C, has a spare set they might be willing to sell, or can point me towards a collector/seller who deals in these, I’d be massively grateful.
The Beckham-signed 7 is ready to go — I just need to complete the A + C!
Thanks!
