Just found this on You Tube, a compilation of full episodes of ITV's the Big Match and BBC's Match of the Day from nearly 30 years ago.
Back in the days when I was a regular on the terraces, so good memories :)
The Big Match features Chelsea v West Ham from Stamford Bridge back in the days when Chelsea couldn't afford grass and had to supplement their income from the half empty ground by using the ends as a car park and storage area for building supplies.
A good game with West Ham having Paul Hilton in defence (a defender we signed from a team we put 10 goals past in the cup?), Chelsea had left Hazard on the bench.
The other game is Everton v Newcastle with Sky's Martin Tyler commentating.
Match of the Day from the next week features 2 Manc v Scouse games first Man Utd v Everton again, followed by Liverpool v Man City.
Also the 2nd Division game Brighton v Portsmouth.
They also have Cricket with England getting hammered by the West Indies.

Nearly There
The "championship" kicks off tonight with Norwich vs Watford, the main talking point being Norwich's top striker Grant "fat boy" Holt who is due in court today 200 miles away from the game and looks likely to miss the game, if he drives like me he should make it :)
West Ham have signed Winston Reid the New Zealand defender who's claim to fame is the last minute equaliser against Slovakia in the World cup, I've no idea if he's any good but they've given him a 3 year deal, the Hammers have also signed Tal Ben Haim on loan from Portsmouth? he looked good when he played for Bolton but seemed distinctly average for Chelsea, Man City and Pompey. The fact he's israeli and ex Portsmouth must have appealed to Avram Grant as I can't think of any other reason to sign him.
Talking of Portsmouth they have at least won one battle beating the taxman in court who were trying to get them closed down, they can at least start the season although the debts are serious enough to make Pompey fans think they might be on borrowed time.
Liverpool won 2-0 again against the Macedonians and stay in Europe's second rate competition, only surprise being that Ngog scored again making it 3 in the tie! seeing him last season you wouldn't have backed him to score 3 all season.
Next week could be interesting will David James be lining up at Wembley for England against Hungary or at Roots Hall for Bristol City in a Carling cup tie against Southend? hopefully it the Carling cup tie as Southend need all the help they can get :)
