Fever Pitch : The Closest Championship ever

[Monkeymaw]

Just noticed an hour long show titled Fever Pitch : The Closest Championship ever is on ESPN Classic tonight at 11:05.
Not sure if it is hour long highlights or a documentary but worth recording either way.

Was it highlights or a documentary about "that" game?

Extended highlights of game not a lot else? Missed the first half switched it on at 52 minutes talk about timing

The fact I wasn't alive for that game was somewhat remedied by the fact that we had the full 90 minutes (plus stoppage time ) on VHS. Whilst most kids were out playing at the age of 6 I was sat glued to the telly watching Hansen, Nicol and Grobelaar pass it in triangles for hours just so that I could see the goals. Worth it.

Dalglish looked absolutely sick when Thomas scored, just stood there arms folded good enough for the *word censored*. You can tell Hansen et al are still bitter about that night

Still the greatest moment ever.

Those Slysports arseholes pissed me off with their hysteria on the last day of last season and their claims of "There has never been a tighter finish to a league season" and "the most exciting finish to a season ever". Fucking arseholes.

But of course there was no football before the PL...

Still the greatest moment ever.

He got sooo much grief, all the 1 minute chants when all he was doing was trying to make sure his team saw out the remaining seconds, while Barnes and the **** Aldridge shook hands for fuck sake and congratulated each other and got off scott free.

Still the greatest moment ever.

Even to this day I use the one minute gag.

Took some of my pupils to RAF Duxford on a school trip two weeks back. When asked how long we had left to get there I replied with

In about 10 McMahon's


The kids know what I mean

[Eboue-Why?]

Just returned from my hols and as you do I decided to take a good book rather than having to listen to the missus whining about how hot it is ( I mean, what is the point? Don't go abroad if you don't like the bleedin sun!!!)
It's been a few years since I last read it and I still reckon it's a great read, particularly if you're the slightly more mature Gooner and can remember being at games in the 70s and 80s that he refers to!
Was wondering if anyone knew him or knows if he's still a regular? Is he one of these annoying 'celebrity' supporters that wind people up these days?
Anyway if you haven't read it then you should.
