I use imgur. I just checked, and as far as I can tell it still works as it did before. When I select an image, one of the options offered is a direct link to the image.
The sad thing is that it looks like after that injury he got at Nottingham Forest, the old Willock (the one who ran past half the Middlesbrough team) is gone forever.
My thoughts on Inverting the Pyramid (from ten years ago):
Phil Neville instead of 'Arry? by TacticalR2 Jun 2013 11:42 Inverting the Pyramid is great for giving you a historical perspective on football, and the way certain ideas have passed between countries and between decades. For example Total Footall was pioneered by Englishman Jack Reynolds who managed Ajax between 1915 and 1947.
It's also great for giving you a perspective on the way tactics have been invented and reinvented.
However, Wilson can be hard to follow at times, and even though there are many diagrams in the book, I think it could have done with even more as it's still sometimes hard to picture in your mind whatever formation he is talking about (especially if there doesn't happen to be a diagram on that particular page).
If you are not sure whether to cough up for the book, have a look at a couple of his articles on the Guardian website to see if he is your cup of tea.

Come on, that was all about Labour trying to prevent the SNP's motion on Gaza.
In fact the government, not having a clue how to deal with the large pro-Palestinian demonstrations, has tried to encourage violence. This was seen when Home Secretary Suella Braverman tried her 'come and have a go if you're hard enough' to try to get Palestinian marchers to divert to the Cenotaph. The whole thing backfired when the gang of hoolies she summoned ended up fighting with the police at the Cenotaph.
1. Prior to the election I kept asking myself: are we witnessing the crisis of a political party (the Tories), or the crisis of a social system? Most commentators talk as though austerity and decline merely have been lifestyle choices of the Tories.
2. On the whole the people who want to see changes underestimate what will be necessary to make those changes. Many assume that those changes can take place within the existing social order. I felt that quite strongly during the Corbyn craze, but it also applies to ideas like the Johnson's 'levelling up agenda'.
3. We live in very strange times when politicians no longer promise to do anything. In fact they make a great virtue of out not promising to do anything.
4. Gaza. I can't remember an issue like this that has so compromised the ruling class, day after day
a. It has exposed the complete unity of Labour and the Tories in support of Israel, at a time when it appears that the majority are opposed to Israel's actions. b. There is no longer a safety valve (previously provided by the Labour left) within the major parties. In the past, when there was an apparent left in Labour, people could imagine that somehow that left was going to one day take over Labour and change its policies. That was one of the reasons why the left was tolerated in the Labour Party. c. Anti-semitism, Labour's weapon of choice against its internal enemies, is crumbling as a credible charge. The beauty of anti-semitism from Starmer's point of view was that you didn't have to get into discussions about Socialism or any aspect of policy, you could just purge without question. d. Humanitarian intervention has been the Western justification for war for decades. That cover has now been blown.
