Does anyone understand the physics of why a ball swings like that?

Tyler: We will cross to Jamie now who has a bit of extra insight.

Jamie: Well this is how De Gea will have seen it. He has moved to his left and the ball has gone to his right.


How much does he get paid for that?

I recorded the match and watched the post game analysis.

Apart from Souness giving the other pundits withering looks, the other fun part was 'how De Gea would have seen it' and the view then changed to some sort of blurry letterbox.
And then went back to an angle above the goal.
No wonder De Gea misjudged it so badly.

Burney "To be fair, Trevor Brooking was the same. It was impossible to retain interest all the way to the end of a Trevor Brooking sentence."

"Yeah well you say....Romance of The Cup.....in fact, some Arsenal fans think I was trying to get out of the way....difficult game with Liverpool 15 points ahead and 12 wins on the trot....Coventry can't buy themselves a goal these days.....so I'm gonna go for a draw"

Brooking was/is same as Harry Bassett - never actually finished a sentence before starting the next.

'Yeesss...well...he1! he!...I didn't get many with me 'ed...he he!'

FùCK OFF, TREVOR, YOU TEDIOUS OLD FùCK!

Have you never played football?

When you hit the ball sweetly the ball doesn't have a high spin rate.
Spin on the ball give it a predictable ball flight.

When it doesn't spin (or has a low spin rate) the ball flight is erratic - I assume wind resistance plays a part.

here you go...turbulence around the seams apparently...

I thought Trevor was dead.

I thought Trevor was dead.

I think a little bit of him died the night they left Upton Park and a hundred black cabs descended on the ‘academy’.

I thought Trevor was dead.

No he's still somewhere being avuncular and non-threatening.

I watched a YT clip last night where Kenny Sansom refereed to "...the late Jack Charlton"

Seeing Teddy Sh. emerge from one wearing a flat cap at a farewell event with Bianca Westwood screeching into the mic probably finished him off

Time for some AAR real talk. It was a speculative nothing shot that was completely ****ed up by De Gea guessing before he knew where it was going. It wasn't even close to the corner, probably only about 2 yards away from the centre. With De Gea being a World class goalkeeper what we're seeing here is the equivalent of 'celebratory face' where a dog **** comedian of the John Bishop or James Corden variety in a room packed with hopeless plebs will get fits of laughter to every joke down entirely to their celebratory status.

It's the exact same thing we're seeing now with football illiterates blinded by De Gea's greatness. Make no mistake about it, it was dog **** goal keeping. If that Was Bruce Grobbelaar he'd have been lynched by the fans.
