Re: On this day matches (Football)
Don’t remember Cudicini being at Chelsea that early, but he was an underrated keeper
And is that Davor Suker for Arsenal?
No recollection of him ever playing for Arsenal

He was out of favour at Real Madrid in the 1998-99 season and his contract was up and moved to Arsenal. He was 32 at the time and beginning to be over the hill

Re: On this day matches (Football)
Rooney dived, Arsenal cried
Beautiful
But that was revenge for the previous game I was in attendance for at Old Trafford
Fucking Cunt Keown winding up Van Nistlerooy, along with Parlour, Cole and Lauren

Re: On this day matches (Football)
I had an English assignment where we had to do a transcription and analysis of speech.
One of the things I picked was Tyler and Gray's commentary on that Ruud penalty incident. I must have listened to it a hundred times.

Re: On this day matches (Football)
Can you still recite the commentary?
And if there’s one Arsenal player I always couldn’t stand, it was Keown
Cunt is so biased for Arsenal on BT and he’s still bitter about United when he’s on commentary.

And Martin Tyler practically singing "HE has HIT the BAR!" I said he sounded triumphant... He really did.

Not sure I’ve ever actually listened to the original Sky Sports commentary
Did you get a good grade on the assignment?

I also did England's 4th goal at the 1966 World Cup final and 5Live commentary of Beckham scoring a penalty for England. I remember Alan Green saying Beckham's name as though he were spitting it. More like 'Pffeckham'. Terry Butcher was co-commentator. Odd memories. I drilled it all into my brain by endless repetition. shocking stuff.

Vieira also got sent off and United hit the post with a cross from a Giggs free kick that evaded everyone in the box
Blimey, Alan Green. Is he still going?
He’s made himself seem like Tony Angelino’s cousin with that call.

I hope Butcher was supporting the head-bandage on the gantry

I assume Alan Green retired. I do miss the old bugger and his curmudgeonly ways. All these bright white-teeth banter bots of today who all agree on everything... diversity my bottom.
