Scandalous from Beardsley. Other worldly to be able to do that at all, but to be able to do it under pressure in an actual game. These people can just fuck right off as I sit down to a day of spreadsheeting.

Have you considered live-streaming your mad tekkers?

The way you lot absolutely gobble down the stats on here, I could probably live off the superchats.

I'll be honest, I never wake up in the morning and think "I wish I was a professional footballer with the supreme skills of Gazza, Beardsley, or Isak". I wake up with profound regret I can only dream of having the skills Gemmill does with a pivot table.

POWER Pivot is where it's at these days. I wouldn't touch a standard pivot table with yours.

 

I've left you behind with your shorts on back to front here, but you shouldn't feel bad.

was at portsmouth for this one, outrageous skill, never to be forgotten.

what isak did last night was sublime and started from the halfway line. very envious of those in the away end last night! 

 

 

 

That’s was on The Big Match live I think. Unbelievable stuff

I must have watched the Isak clip 50 times today......its gets better everytime and I could be wrong but looks like it was all with his right foot

when you watch i keep thinking if he'd cut back in from the corner of the 6 yard box and took a shot instead of crossing, it could well have been the greatest goal in the history of football.

still, we'll settle for it how it was!

That Portsmouth footage btw. A reminder of the class of KK. Not just as a player but his character. You’ve got a bloke who’s won just about everything there is to win, twice winner of the Ballon D’Or. At the twilight of his career and there he is, playing in the second division and doing the dirty work, against centre-halves who could go right through the back of you. And he was doing that so young forwards like Beardsley and Waddle could thrive off the back of it.

He was a hard little bastard wasn't he?

Toe to toe with Billy Bremner that time took some balls so yes. 

[Alex 36549]

That interview maybe 2 or 3 years ago Kilcline did. Apart from talking about his time here, he spoke about playing against KK. Keegan had just come back to England (Southampton) and Killer (who I think would’ve already been at Coventry) wanted to give him a good old ‘welcome back to English football’. Anyway the plan failed as, in his own words, he couldn’t get close enough to him to kick him

I loved him as a kid before he even signed for us. Showing me age  I desperately wanted Southampton to win the league that year they led it for so long. 
Also, I remember being down south on the way to visit relatives when it came on the radio he’d signed for us. My dad had to pull the car over for a few minutes

His autobiography is a great read.  The way he speaks about Shankley in it is brilliant.  So warm and caring.

[trophyshy 7272]

Check the slo-mo 

 

 

[wykikitoon 22501]

Dyche will be fuming at that.  He should have been taken down.

[trophyshy 7272]

I love the rage at the end, as if any of them could’ve stopped him.

They could have with a foul.  Should have been taken out long before he got close to the box.

Nah. He looked like he was playing himself into a dead end. Which would be the case for 99.9999% of players. You're always taught not give a free kick away in this situation.

 

Also, as for him trying to get round Pickford and shooting, no. Firstly, if he had failed this wouldn't even be remembered. And secondly, I live the fact he unselfishly made it a team goal. I'll not bother with clichés about teams winning things, not individuals, but his making this an assist bodes very well for us and I commend him. This may be my favourite NUFC goal ever.

He looks so happy and buzzing (as do all the players tbh) and I agree.  What a goal, I have watched it over and over again.
