Oh wow, will watch back in full later.

I just played the first couple of minutes, it's hilarious how cockernee the singing is. Everyone in the West Side singing 'we love you, Orient' sounds like they're auditioning for Oliver.

Just flicked towards the end and the ref gave 2 foul throws. I don't think I've seen one given for about 10 years!

You should count yourself lucky you didn't have to witness the usual fayre served up that season.

You are correct and he engaged in a bit of light hearted banter with the East Stand enclosure. Primarily about his tash and age.

We could have wired a skeleton to a car battery and got more goalkeeping skills than him.

:lol:

Yeah, probably just about worth a booking, on balance.

I like how all the WBA players get in Hales face (understandably) then sh*t themselves when Cunningham strolls over and takes charge.

We'd have been better off putting a wig on a speak-your-weight machine and sticking that in the goal

David Stride was also rather poor. Incredible that these two were on the books of Arsenal, and Chelsea, respectively. Wouldn't happen now..
