Nice to see a youthful Stretch Armstrong in claret and blue.

I was thinking that too. Is it some kind of camera trick? Those arms belong to someone at least twice his age!

It's known as 'Converging verticals'

It's like taking a photo of tall buildings, but in reverse. Looking down at the subject rather than up

Yep, could be the converging verticals. Or he might have hands like shovels and the arms of Mr Tickle.

The Cup game was far closer than the League game, they were fortunate to still be in it going into the last minute. And Lescott's miss was worse than Brown's.

That is a brilliant statue. Very much like Liberace with dwarfism.

I see your Ted Bates and raise you a Jacko.
