Other Games - 2016/17

[Bad English]

I see Messi scored for Argentina last night. He's worse at retiring than Nigel Farage!

That is a strange one.  They blamed the loss of three finals on him, he retires.  They then beg him to come back, build a statue of him, so he comes back.  Then when he's back they accuse him of deceiving the Argentine public.  Make your mind up lads.

I know. It's not as though Messi has form for deception.

Messi won't do anything taxing.

Just switched Sky on for Peterborough v Swindon and in Swindon's line up is one
Nathan Delfounso....hadn't a clue he was there.

[Brend'Watkins]

Yay, just switched it on and had to do a double take. I remember Mazrim once of this parish constantly eulogising about him being destined for greatness. Ah well, we can file under 'best days were at Villa'.

[fredm]

Didn't do anything at Coventry or Blackpool and has now landed at Swindon.  From what I saw did not make much of an impression on the match.

I also thought that, as a youngster, he had a good career in front of him, particularly if played alongside a big centre forward.  Alas another one who just drifted away on the breeze.

[Witton Warrior]

I remember the Fonz in one of his last appearances for us, played in a dull draw and at the end had a fizzing shot that clipped the top of the bar - thought then that of it had gone in he might have stepped up but just faded away after that...

Brighton in the FA Cup (third round?) a few years back, danced through a few players and smacked a shot against the bar from thirty yards. Goes in, might start the next dozen games, scores a few and becomes the next one that Man City deign to throw millions at us for.

Or it's harmlessly cleared, he has a few more substitute appearances and drops through the leagues, and the next we hear is that he's scoring forty a season for Coventry Sphinx in three years time.

[PeterWithesShin]

I thought he'd do ok in the lower leagues, like Byfield.

if the 30 yarder at St Andrews in the 1-1 had been an inch lower it may have been a bit different for him.

and Martin Carruthers.

[CJ]

I was going to say how long before Hoddle says "2 v 1" - three minutes in and it's "3 v 3". Not long til the "midfield diamond"

[PeterWithesShin]

As long as he doesn't start Diamond Lights i'm good.

[UK Redsox]

I'd clean forgot that Ingurlund were playing today. C'mon you Slovaks

[CJ]

As long as he doesn't start Diamond Lights i'm good.

* shudder * Memories of mullets, rolled up jacket sleeves and electronic drum kits - 80's bad taste personified

[olaftab]

With Rooney, Dier and Henderson as the midfield trio Sam really has gone for it!

[devilla]

World class air shot by Kane just then.
