I am right in the front of the archers road end in the middle of the goal. The Regis goal is pretty much right on my head. Still remember him finishing it so clearly (and Ivan’s classic earlier).
RIP
Also there. Remember the goal and shedding a tear. Also remember breathing a sigh of relief when Marsden didn’t add the fourth - I don’t think that was unique to people with a bet on the game! Remember leaving the ground for the last time.
Oddly my season ticket was also upper east. Row B. Had it for about 15 years and it was an amazing view, as a few others have said. I was a bit disappointed at the SMS view by comparison.
Definitely camera, by some margin. I ended up about 10 yards down the aisle from my seat, with about 10 people, most of whom I didn’t know on the floor in the aftermath - and that was in the Itchen!
But previously, the only reason I could possibly see for not acting was that there wasn’t anyone we could get in who would clearly be better - now there is. In my opinion, he’d be miles better.
This is how I felt too.
There was a moment in the second half when he came out and caught the ball almost on the penalty spot and I thought, wow - not seen that for some time!
FF fails to come off his line even by a few yards (Hudd and spurs in recent weeks) - so he can watch hopelessly as another free header from inside the six yards box hits the net. He should have been dropped for good after the debacle of the Chelsea free kick where he lined up the wall appallingly and then had his hands on his hips looking at the lino instead of being ready to move.
This is excellent. Well done. I can feel SMS reverberating to this at the weekend.
I did wonder, given someone said the initial poster had not posted before, whether the first song was written by his agent, to help expedite things.
Bit of a circular argument that one. The reason that it was reasonably easy to get a ticket was that the number of tickets for Wembley compared quite favourably with the size of our ground.
