    It looked like Leicester of last season in the last 25 minutes but at 2-0 it looked more likely to be 4-0 than 2-1.

    I found the whole thing hilarious. Think of it as an 'Ode to Idiocy'.

    Although I'm sure his girth, attire and lack of a tie makes you break out in a rash.

    You can dress a pig in collar and tie if you wish but it remains as bacon and sausages on legs.

    What made me break out in a rash is how much of an idiot he made himself look.

    They did look like Leicester from last season in the last 20 minutes or so and a typical 1 - 0 from them at home would see them through.

    I can only imagine how you feel watching a fellow goalkeeper looking and behaving like that. Brings your entire trade into disrepute <laugh>

    Hardly. The guy is following in the proud tradition of Fatty Foulke.

    How on earth did Leicester come away without a 6-1 defeat?

    According to The Cat's Pyjamas: The Penguin Book of Cliches, the "Who ate all the pies?" chant was first sung in 1894 by Sheffield United supporters, and directed at Foulke who was at that time 300 lb (about 136 kg).[2]


    At the end of the first match in the 1902 Cup Final Foulke protested to the officials that Southampton's equalising goal should not have been allowed. Foulke left his dressing room unclothed and pursued the referee, Tom Kirkham, who took refuge in a broom cupboard. Foulke had to be stopped by a group of F.A. officials from wrenching the cupboard door from its hinges to reach the hapless referee.[3][4] In the replay, Sheffield United won 2–1, with Foulke being required to make several saves to keep United in the match. He was also in goal for United when they suffered an FA Cup exit to Second Division Burslem Port Vale in 1898.

    Bradford City A.F.C. in the 1906-07 season - Foulkes centre of the back row
    He then moved to Chelsea for a fee of £50 and was made club captain. Foulke by now was remarkably temperamental. If he thought his defenders were not trying hard enough, he would walk off the field. Opposing forwards who incurred his displeasure would be picked up and thrown bodily into his goal. He was, however, a great crowd puller, and Chelsea decided to exploit this. To draw even more attention to his size, they placed two small boys behind his goal in an effort to distract the opposition even more. The boys would sometimes run and return the ball when it went out of play, and quite by accident, ball boys came into being.[5] Foulke stayed for just one season before moving to his final club, Bradford City.

    That is Neville Southall's job. We also had Mark Kendall (RIP) who struggled with his waistline

    Ajax making hard work of their home tie against Legia Warsaw, at the moment.
    They're a little caught between going for it and keeping it tight at the back.
    They drew 0-0 in the first leg, so the away goal could be fatal.
    Anthony Taylor's the ref.

    Oh look, after publicly flirting with the idea of making a big money move elsewhere, Wayne Rooney has said he's staying at Man Utd - just like he did when he publicly flirted with the idea of joining Chelsea and Man City at various points in the past decade.

    Man Utd should've turned around and told him to **** off to China.

    1-0 to Ajax. They had a few half-chances and they've taken one. Crap keeper.

    Ajax need to push forward more. They're sitting back and an away goal would put them out, as it stands.
    I don't get why so many teams do this. Really risky stuff.

    Zenit/Anderlecht is definitely going to leave someone feeling ill: Anderlecht won the first leg 2-0, Zenit are 2-0 up with fifteen minutes to play in the second leg

    Apoel Nicosia are currently winning 2-0 against Athletic Bilbao, despite being down to ten men.
    It's 4-3 on aggregate, so the Spanish side need two goals. That could be interesting, too.
