The discussion of Delap's long throws came up the other day. That was back when I used to go regularly and I am convinced that he was not as good at them when with us as he was when he was at Stoke. Sure we didn't really use them or play around them but I think he also got a lot better with practice

And having as a target a unit like ABK who doesn’t get pushed around and who seems to have a decent first touch is important too.
Such enthusiasm!My wife does personalised decorated bottles of Freixenet as gifts, a few a week usually, has been doing them for years.
We met Jean-Cristophe Mau a few years ago, who was the top guy in the group that owned the brand and he reckoned she was the largest private buyer of Freixenet in the UK
It's not a bad tipple to be honest, and prefer it to most Prosecco
I hope she gets to drink some too
And most of our throws end up with us losing posession in risky areas so even an unsuccesful long throw into their area is better
She used to buy it added onto the Brewery order. Hers was 75% of the order
.She does enjoy a few too
Freixenet is Cava and around £11 a bottle
But being ½ Italian, I can't touch Spanish sparkling wine and have to go with Prosecco**
**Edit - though I did give up drinking 10 months ago so havent had any in ages

No, being 1/2 Italian you only have to dring Prosecco half the timeBut being ½ Italian, I can't touch Spanish sparkling wine and have to go with Prosecco
I'm 100%(ish) European so I can have the best of everything without being the victim of blind patriotism
Hang on a minute, isn't this the match thread
EDIT: Giving up wine isn't very Italian

You’re missing out, Cava is infinitely superior to both Prosecco and most champagne apart from the top end vintages.But being ½ Italian, I can't touch Spanish sparkling wine and have to go with Prosecco**

Bit late here but having now watched our goals they were both clearly training ground routines
Che knew where to go as that throw came in and we've used the KWP to JWP for the angle on the curling cross a few times now
If they double up on the WPs to stop that then there'll be space elsewhere and BK is the perfect guy to have in there for the Salisu long-throws

That's the only killer for me. A nice glass of full bodied red with my home made pasta.
In fairness, to go completely off topic, I gave up for 'sober for October' last year and kept it up. Up until about March i was constantly thinking oh what the heck I may as well drink (ie it wasn't for medical reasons), but now it doesn't even occur to me. Don't miss it at all and get no urges.
Agreed! So many good performances across the team. One of my best away days too, the atmosphere was so good throughout but was incredible after the equaliser!
I remember the days when the match day thread compiler used to get some credit, but I’m not bitter. Sniff.

Keep up the good work
Great to hear that. Fully tied up yesterday with a Golden Wedding party etc. Restrained my joy at the result and will watch the MOD on iPlayer later. Thought we might get something out of this. Delighted for all concerned, must have been a better journey home for those able to go and watch the game especially.

Aren’t they all just posh ciders?
Good work, I gave up 7 years ago. Never looked back!
Hope the wedding party went well and that you have enjoyed and savoured MOTD. The journey home was spent pinching ourselves and asking each other whether it really happened.
It was my sons first ever away day and he loved every minute it but I did point out as Saints fans it’s not always like this!
I think the only song I heard the Leicester fans ‘sing’ was about the result we never mention. That made our victory even sweeter when the final whistle was blown.
