Are you suggesting that until leaner times are over, Mr Wenger should consider such process?A mere moment if you're an aestivating frog..
No need for that - after today's result he has probably shed enough tears to render aestivating needless.Are you suggesting that until leaner times are over, Mr Wenger should consider such process?

Good try.Given that it's fraternal, does it have anything to do with Denis and Leslie Compton?
Along the right lines, but that's 2 rather than 4, and more to do with batting than battering.Much as I would like to say "Yes, every member of the Watford Chamber of Commerce took on the entire Soviet Union population in a table tennis round robin..."Table tennis between someone (the Watford Chamber of Commerce?) and the Soviet Union?
Closer. More brutal than wrestling.Anything to do with wrestling ?

That's the one, cologne.4 boxing brothers on the same bill ? Allan Buxton, together with Joe, Laurie and Alex, all having won - apparently unique in boxing history. Proves the value of reading the Wobby sometimes !

Cheers Andy. What unique record is held by the Suffolk Athletic Club ?That's the one, cologne.![]()
Did they form the US Olympic Athletic Team of 1896 and include the first Modern Olympic champion, James Connolly?Cheers Andy. What unique record is held by the Suffolk Athletic Club ?
I think you're close enough Andy. The first Modern Olympic Champion was James Connolly in the Triple Jump on the first day of competition (this was then two hops and a jump) - at that time there were no flags or national anthems and he was listed as representing the Suffolk Athletic Club of Boston - apparently this was because Harvard University (where he was a student) refused to give him time off or to sponsor him whereas his local athletic club did. So the Suffolk Athletic Club could actually claim the first olympic gold (actually it was silver for first place then) as their own. Over to you.Did they form the US Olympic Athletic Team of 1896 and include the first Modern Olympic champion, James Connolly?
Very kind, cologne. I wasn't 100% there - I didn't know he was officially representing the club rather than his country. Apparently he, and many others, were told by Harvard - drop your courses and leave the university if you do compete. They did. Amazing conviction.I think you're close enough Andy.
