He'd get a bollocking off some managers for not playing the percentages

I was thinking that myself when he was lining it up, until I saw a wall forming and thought 'Ah, he does it all the time' He actually reminded me a bit of myself when he smashed that in

I liked number 11 for Ecuador who hit the dirt fast to get out of the way and so kept his head.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahh the thriller against Villa :D

Isn't that the game that McCann got sent off in thanks to Campo's invisible card waving trick? Funny that they are now both competing for the same spot.

That was the away leg. In which, despite being three goals up, we still decided to throw everyone behind the ball from the first whistle. I've never been so nervous during a game as when they scored their second, actually wasn't that J'Loyd?

It's baffling that that was ever considered legal!

It was something of a talking point at the time. There was even a feature on Football Focus (or whatever the programme was called at the time) Coventry scored more than once with that move, before it was eventually declared illegal.
