Stolen the idea from 606 FB page, but what is your earliest WC (tournament) memory?

Mine is Baggio ballooning the penalty over the bar in the final of USA 94. I can remember other odd bits of USA 94 from watching old videos of it, but that penalty miss has always stuck with me.

"Viva Alex Pearce..."

8k renewals is pretty good I think, given all the likely upheavals over the summer. The club certainly can't complain that the fans aren't sticking with them.

World Cup qualifying gaffes video on the BBC website. Some LOLzworthy moments here, I particularly enjoyed the corner flag one.

Presumably because Pompey were the exception to the rule, and most other people/clubs do actually abide by the general rule of paying taxes in order to keep trading

A decent striker who struggled through some appalling "service" over the past season and a half. Will score a hatful with the right service to him.

Comparisons to Cureton are vaLOLid here. Fozzy was a completely different type of striker.

^^ Plain. Simple. Smart. Win.

Smart certainly, but I'd prefer us in thicker hoops and blue shorts.

A reasonable fixture list there.

Will probably do Exeter to tick another ground off. Have been to all the other grounds, but might still get to a couple of games.

How many different kits have been combined to produce it?

I count 10, although not sure if the sleeve of this season matches the chest with the FA Cup logo on it.

I also think we're guilty of praising "bad" penalties. Too often you see penalties scored where the ball is about a third of the way between the centre of the goal and the post. In my opinion, these are bad penalties. Yes they go in, but if the keeper goes the right way (the variable that ...

Ian Royal I am going to be bloody furious if Saggy Harry lasts the season and gets QPR in the top 6. Let alone promotion.

Fingers crossed for you Ian...

I saw a picture of that "goal" on Facebook. It was as far over the line as Mendes's "goal" for Spurs that Carroll fumbled!

The shame of it is, as soon as one of the other clubs wins the league (like Atleti this year) they will instantly get the side ripped apart and so have a very reduced chance of maitaining a title challenge the next season.

USA_Loyal_Royal just looked it up, last time a team besides barcelona or real won the league was 03-04.

Back in the days when Valencia were very good under Benitez (pre-Liverpool).

It's Atleti's first title since 1996.
