Going home for lunch from School on a Tuesday, listening to Johnny Walker on Radio 1 for the Top 30 countdown and having to run back to school to tell everyone who was No.1 that week.
Rods strapped to the crossbar, all my fishing tackle in a rucksac, cycling 6 miles to the Thames to sit beside a freezing river with ice-floes catching nothing....
Doing the Status Quo Boogie at Discos
The Summer Holidays that just seemed to go on forever.....

I'd say it was more clear cut than the sending off,' but I suppose that doesn't answer the Question

You know me mate, I lost interest a while back. FC all the way nowadays.
I think you was spot on though with Fergie losing the plot for 15 mins after the sending off and united not being able to regroup before it was to late.

I can't believe The Nani sending off has made 17 pages on here though.

Watching a dancing flower with sunglasses whilst in a bomber jacket listening to tapes whilst drinking tab clear and rubbing a dock leaf on a sting from a 'bumpy stingy' I walked into trying to avoid a white dogs turd. All whilst sucking on a push-pop.

Take me back to the 90's! haha
