  1. Ahh .. the famous Coleman balls of the 1968 Mexico Olympics men's 400m hurdles. David Hemery of GB won the gold with a World Record, Hennige of Germany won the silver ... and third, "who cares who's third? It doesn't matter" ... Was John Sherwood also from GB. Who cares who's third? It doesn't matter
  2. For all the disappointment of last night, wasn’t the result … Mission Accomplished? We have (all but) qualified for the next stage and the truly important thing yesterday was not to lose the game. Hence the reluctance of our centre-backs to venture forward when up against pacy opposition who were eager to hit us on the break. Further, we got off lightly when Ghana could (should?) have been awarded a penalty. Dull and frustrating the match may have been but we got the job done. Let’s hope for fireworks from now on.
  3. Nathan Tella?
  4. My tv has frozen at 45:49 - is anyone else suffering similar?
  5. I understand the game will be shown on Sky Sports+. I want to record the match but cannot work out how to do so. Is there someone who knows how to record, please?
  6. Initially I was disappointed our passing wasn't as crisp as it could have been but that was because we were often going for the difficult defence-splitting pass that, had it come off, may very well have led to a goal-scoring chance. We made these risky passes because we had to as we were never in the lead. As regards our support, at the first corner of the second-half (after Archer's shot was saved) there was Peretz at the halfway-line geeing up the crowd and acting as conductor.
  7. Arsenal have scored 23 goals from set-pieces this season, with 16 of these from corners (source: William Hill). Why did they play so few of their corners last night into the six-yard box? Instead they opted for short-corners - a ploy that didn't come off. Not playing to one's strengths is a novel strategy but more fool them for trying it! Source William Hill
  8. Yes, Archer didn’t “miss” a sitter, the ball came off a defender for a Saints corner. I first saw Archer in the League Cup match away at Cardiff at the start of last season. He scored two goals and looked lively. Sadly he hasn’t lived up to that initial promise.
  9. Tonight’s winning feeling is right up there with Shane Long at Anfield in the League Cup semi-final
  10. The website wheresthematch.com tells me the match is on Sky channel 404 skysports+. However, although there are plenty of matches on the red button on that channel I cannot find the Leicester v Southampton match. Can anyone help or confirm the match is not being broadcast, please?
  11. If it ain’t working consider sticking with it
  12. Did she also give him the Eleven million Swedish Krone* that comes with the medal? *around £900,000
  13. Thank you for posting this. Away from the action there was plenty of nostalgia to wallow in. Saints in good old-fashioned stripes, the baggy shorts of the referee, a kid with a rattle behind the goal, an ad for Rizla papers, the half-time scores along the touchline, plenty of police but not a Hi-Viz jacket in sight - Happy Days.
  14. So many to choose from but it has to be 1 May 1976. Off the field, I can recall being gobsmacked on hearing the news Laurie Mac had signed Kevin Keegan.
  15. Same with me
