I remember bunking off school one afternoon in 1960 only to see a 19 year old Denis Law torment us in a 1-5 home defeat to Huddersfield in a 3rd round cup replay at Upton Park.
Thorn, I remember my Dad telling me that he was at that game, he being an on-call docker and wasn't working that day, and saying that he'd just watched one of the best players he'd ever seen.
Anyone watching Arsenal v Villa, two great goals in quick succession 1 each and then Villa nearly equalise moments after. Makes up for the dross we watched earlier on.
If you can get carded for kicking the ball away, why not for deliberately standing over the ball delaying a free kick……just saying
For sure, and picking up the ball while walking slowly backwards towards your own goal before tossing the ball back once the rest of your team has got back in position.
Protestations by Arsenal at the disallowed goal, but you can see Havertz behind his hand muttering to a team mate when everyone else is celebrating - he knows it hit his hand on the way in.
Funnily enough DM went back to form and looked to close the game down and secure the points at Everton but it just encouraged Spurs to come on and it ended up a slightly nervous 3-2.
From the comments on the Man Utd v Brighton match report on the BBC website:
"Before the game today the Man U players visited a local Manchester orphanage “It was so sad to see their little faces with no hope” said Billy aged 6"

He joined Man City in the March of that year.
They'll probably fall apart now!, but so far, a really good watch...
