I live in Newbury and there is a big company called "Stryker" (make medical equipment I think). Every time i drive passed the office and see the big sign, I can't help but shout out "Stryker!" In a partridge-like manner. Its an affliction that I can't get rid of, even if I am in mid conversation.
Des Lynam procured it before knocking it out at a boot sale to some OAP's who thought it was a sundial. Then some local louts stole it and burnt it on Guy Fawkes night. The local constabulary looking at the remains thought it was some kind of anti American terrorist campaign and rounded up the usual suspects including Jed Maxwell and Michael. No charges were pressed and needless to say Lynam had the last laugh.
The error of '94 was on taking the tournament to a country without a strong footballing tradition. Thank goodness they learned their lesson and won't be doing that again!
@@stevenmacdonald9619 Aah, no. You have misunderstood my point and misunderestimated my intent. On the contrary, Qatar have a fine and noble footballing history. There was a game there last year and another one some years previously. Just because the summer heat effectively prohibits any strenuous activity for most of the year, that doesn't mean someone didn't once kick a ball and watch it roll a few metres across the sand. In footballing terms, Qatar has a wonderful tradition. To suggest otherwise would be to suggest that Qatar is a corrupt, fundamentalist, grotesque, undemocratic joke of a state using its money to try to buy respectability. And I just cannot believe that.... No sir.
If you can understand Peter Saville's alpha-numeric code wheel on New Order's PCL album sleeve, you still only have a slight chance of understanding Partridge's WC prop.
I'm pleased that FIFA gave them permission to use the same colour scheme for the rounds in future world cups as at the time I remember being surprised that Saudi Arabia had reached the final. Then again I'm not really into football as I have severe athlete's foot which needs a powder treatment so I find the sport a bit exclusionary.
Nice subtle detail where Alan posits Chile vs Paraguay as a possible first round match. 1) South American teams can’t be drawn against each other in the opening group. 2) Neither of those countries had qualified for USA 94. 3) Chile were actually banned from even entering after their goalkeeper used fake-blood capsules to get a qualifying match in the previous World Cup abandoned.
how the European Super League should have made their presentation
I wish he'd do one for the upcoming Euro 2020, just to clarify things.
That would have been more convincing.
I think they did! 🤪
@@jamesluby6705 Stole my comment, James !
"And another!!!" Lmao, so underrated

I'm french and this is how I ike to learn my english
That much preparation for something that useless only makes me respect his dedication more
I sincerely hope this prop still exists somewhere.
I reckon he adlib’d with the signposts as it was probably impossible to repeat. Superb
Just taking up an outrageous amount of space in a BBC store cupboard

They're not really athletes... you'll do OK .. . stick with it !
Play table football or Subutteo.
If you ever wondered where mark goldbridge got his act from
A very poor imitation.

So San Francisco, Los Angeles and into the Final, pretty straight forward for 56 teams
The soccer meter never really took off!
A brilliant device which only failed due to improper promotion by the sporting authorities.
EAT MY GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! - now that's what we need to hear more of in commentary.
"Round 1-ahhh"
😂
Perfect sense to me.
2026 world cup in a nutshell
... or Brazil (or Macadamia), maybe ?
A foot like a traction engine
Goooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal.

GOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
It’s a fabulous day for football John
Jumpers for goalposts (I think)
Class!
Like Boris’s COVID Graphs during the lockdown!!!!
Striker! Eat that.... And another
3:07 THE PUDDING IS OFFSIDE!
Don't talk to Micah Richards like that
nah, at the moment the ball is kicked he's on (mostly cos of how far apart the legs of the last defender are)
He is, by miles.
How the Conference league should be explained
Wait, I wanna hear what Sandy Lyle had to say.....
Love how football fans don't even realise he's ripping on football
San francisco bloody hilarious
_"Uh... 💩Did you see that?"_
Kinda wanna see Florentino Perez use a soccer meter on Zoom to justify the ESL
The only way we'll stop the Super League is by finding and destroying his Horcruxes.
The goalie has football pie all over his shirt.
Aaaaah
Is this how collapsed lung got the idea for eat my goal?
yes and the B side "the goalie has got football pie all over his shirt"
Joking by @erati apart, yes it is.
I'm confused now
You won't find that with FIFA
THRIKER
Still a better presenter than Gary Lineker.
Lineker's better than most on Sky or BT
Pretty much anyone would be better than Gary Linekar.
Boof! Eat my goal
