DavidM Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’m bemused at how many folk knock Harry Kane for scoring penalties . They still need to be put away right ? Even in the WC he got stick ... yeh I’m sure knocking those away in that pressure is easy . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 All fun at the Stade de France last night. The kick-off was delayed after they played the national anthem of Andorra instead of Albania. The stadium announcer then apologised to Armenia for this error! 1 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) They did it, AT LAST. After 882 days, and 74 games Fort William finally won a League game 1-0 at home to Clachnacuddin. In August they won a North of Scotland Cup game 5-2 v Nairn after 840 days without any kind of win. They are on a roll now. OK, admittedly the FWFC team that won had 9 players on loan from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but a win is a win, 12th April 2017 was their last League win Edited September 12, 2019 by Bleep1673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) A few days ago was the 50th anniversary of Swindon Town beating AS Roma 4-0 (5-2 on aggregate) at The County Ground to win the League Cup Winners Cup. The competition was created by the Football League, and their Italian counterparts, because, under league rules, 3rd Division Swindon were not allowed to enter the Fairs Cup (Europa League) after their League Cup win over Arsenal. The Italian FA were so impressed with Swindon's performance against Roma, the Anglo Italian Cup was created. Swindon won that too, beating Juventus twice (1-0 in Turin and 4-0 at home) on the way to the Final in Naples. Swindon beat Napoli 3-0 to lift the trophy. Five months after the Napoli win, I was born and Swindon Town have never graced such heights again. Possible connection?

ivans82 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Another impressive display from Arsenals defence , tried to put several people off backing them to win but to no avail . If you look up the words Flaky and Soft in the dictonary it will probably say Arsenals back four . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 A Man City fan just told me he is thinking of going on holiday as it is cheaper after the school holidays... I told him you can't beat the Canaries this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
