Playing Football is the safest thing to do in London, it's the other stuff that gets you stabbed. Look at the amount of Footballers from the rough parts of South London. London isn't really know for Peados due to how busy it is, those crimes are more common per capita in rural areas
As a Crystal Palace fan I have to say Curbishley is one of my all time favourite football managers. What he did at Charlton in the PL was incredible. If I was a professional footballer I would love to have played for him.
@@palacehaunter5442 I think that’s a bit unfair to conclude that he was a crap manager because he kept both Charlton and West Ham up comfortably, plus I think he would have taken them to the top had he been given the budget that Newcastle now have. Watch the PL classic from 2001 when Charlton beat Arsenal 4-2 away and you’ll see how good he was. He even nearly got the England job in 2006.

There are too many football clubs having foreign investment with suspect money. Foreign players also have priority over the English, which is wrong. Sky BBC and ITV are so woke that it's sickening. The old days were far better. I can't watch football on TV any longer it's painful.
I agree totally, my Mrs wants me to get our kids into football, but I've slowly lost the love for the game, it's not the same, probably started going off it about 10yrs ago, I loved the 80's, but all the money, wages, nonsense like VAR, it's ruined it for me, just not the same anymore.

He has a plan for us all.
Indeed. I was at the League Cup match v Blackburn Rovers in 2005 when fans first started shouting for Curbishley's head, when CAFC lost 3-2 after leading 2-0. I hope those fans were pleased with what happened after he left.
if all that nonsense hadn't occurred at west ham when alan was manager i'm sure hammers would have eventually become a premier league force, alan is claret and blue through and through, he could have taken west ham to the next level instead of the perennial struggles that have continued notwithstanding moyes initial progress which now seems to have ended, if moyes is sacked (i think he will be) alan would be a great choice to succeed him
1:27 was my childhood, but I grew up in Anfield supporting Liverpool. Just hearing him talk about how it used to be growing made me sad. I never see kids out playing football anymore. We used to have massive games against the next street. Then you'd end up mates with them and joining to play against lads from a few streets down 😂 I'm a lot younger than Curbishly. I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s. It's crazy how similar it was for us, but it's scary how different it is now.
I was never going to be a great footballer, but like so many during the Seventies, my mum had to drag me in from the dark to stop me playing. That said, I was good in goal, but for the want of another six inches in height, i might have been good !
I grew up on a new Estate in SE London , all familles and in the late 1960's and early 70's my mates and me was always playing football , never went home till it got dark , only time we was never out was when it rained . And "experts" today wonder why kids are lazy , because they stuff there faces with burgers and sit indoors playing computer games
I’m exactly same! Grew up similar time and was out in morning before school playing football and evening till it got dark like he said! Good days looking back!
I'm a blue from Canny farm and it was exactly the same mate. Sad isnt it. The sport that was, is now a business and the community part of things has long gone coz the corporate bubble has taken over. All double Barrel names and no street kids in the game anymore and its got no soul.
Great to see a real football man like Alan getting some air time, it's what us fans want, not some box ticking exercise & a woman we've never heard of.
The autobiography of Alan Curbishley, the Charismatic Dark Lord, should be gathered from its disperate fragments strewn across the centuries. The Vatican has fought to keep them seperated, but Alan has a plan for us all, and his subjects should learn of the triumphant inferno of his sombre legacy.
@languageoffootball The Charismatic Dark Lord who is Alan Curbishley does not worship gods. Nor must we, in our quest to devote ourselves to his sombre cause. So it is written.
As Milton said in The Devil's Advocate: "Look at me. Underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was any master of the Universe now would you? I'm a surprise, Kevin. They don't see me coming." Alan Curbishley, as the Charismatic Dark Lord, was aware of this satanic text, and fully understood the value of obscuring his triumphant inferno, even if for an eternity. So it is written.
I remember watching Charlton Athletic Vs Barnsley in maybe 2000/2001 at the Valley where Clive mandonca scored a hat trick. Think it finished 4-1. I was 9/10 at the time. Always had a soft spot for Charlton
Soccer is actually a British term. Football comes from futbol which is European. Americans call it Soccer but technically Soccer is a British word for football
@Golden.Lights.Twinkle they call it soccer because of our history with America. America was started by the English. Americans used to say trousers now they say pants.
Alan was one of my favourite players at Birmingham and we had some great young players as well as him, Mark Dennis, Kevin Dillon and some good experience in the side he was in with Colin Todd, Frank Worthington and Archie Gemmill. Good days.
I think when he was at Charlton they often had an excellent ‘middle third’ of the season, with their fans then getting excited about potentially qualifying for the UEFA Cup or maybe even finishing in the top 4, before their form then nosedived during the final stretch of the season and they finished mid-table. I think had things been the other way around, and they struggled during the middle of seasons before finishing strongly, the fans who grumbled probably would have been a lot happier. After returning to the Premier League in 2000, they never faced any relegation danger at all under Curbishley from 2001-2006.
Timing is pretty overlooked sometimes. Ten Hag has been idolised this season at Utd for a winning streak since the world cup. Look into it though, and somehow most of their matches in that time have been at home, and almost all of the opponents they've met/beaten have been in the bottom 5 or lower.
Alan was and could be a great manager ⚒ I watched him play many times also. It seems that some gifted people go through life suffer when time and circumstance just don’t quite line up. Alan was and is a class act .
I feel the same about Bingo...what started as an amusement for old ladies in the local community hall on a Friday night...has become this multi million megabucks extravaganza....all bells and whistles shiny corporate business model built on gambling greed and financial acquisition
Such is the cursed trail of destruction that was blazed by Alan Curbishley. Yet we must trust The Charismatic Dark Lord in his eternal designs for Bingo...and for the non-initiated subjects alike.
A tiny minority of so called fans wanted him out. It's lazy and boring to tar all Charlton fans with the same brush. If you understood Charlton, you would know what the fans did to save their club from extinction. I have been going to Charlton since 1975 and Curbs brought us our best times. I was gutted when he left and yes, since then it's been a total disaster. A series of crap owners, crap decisions and financial troubles are what has put us where we are now.
It was absolutely without a doubt. Football is not a sport anymore it's just fake showbiz and half of the people that follow football know nothing about it.
Another pointless interview by GBEEBIES. Hasn't managed at any level in over 15 years, his last big achievements in the football world were over 20 years ago and anyone under 30 who is into football probably doesn't even remember him properly or if they do it is as a footnote.
