I've only just realised how MASSIVELY overrated that Banks save from Pele was

If you watch it, the ball bounces up from the ground and arrives on the goal line at a very comfortable height for him to claw it away.

It only caught the attention because on first glance it looked like he miraculously scooped it up from the ground and over the bar, but he could just as well have palmed it to the side which would have been equally effective but not as eye-catching.

It would actually have been a massive clanger had he let it in.

I think he said himself that the bounce put the ball at a reachable height.

Surely the remarkable thing about it is the way he was able to scoop it up and away and rather than just parry it?

Was that the one he scooped once it had actually gone past him in the cup semi?

That was my fave I can remember.

That's the one, also like it even more since I realised that it's my brother-in-law who misses the follow up :-)

Are you serious?

I'll shall have to look. I don't even remember the follow up, I think my mind was still trying to compute how a ball that had pased the keeper hadn't gone into the net.

So who is this brother in law no.11 who lashes it high and wide.

I don't mean any ill towards the national hero who died today but I do think Spunky's save is better. Though he only saved from a Moose-fücker. Banks saved from Pele.

But dear God, we were so lucky to have Spunky for all that time, weren't we?

We also had a manager who could spot a decent German keeper when we needed to replace an all time legend. :cough:

:nod: amd the footwork to get across his line to be in position to save it at the "comfortable height". Probably all a bit to subtle for Monty

Top name dropping there p .. almost puts Monty to shame who has "met" people by dint of being momentarily within a 100 yards of them.

And top ignoring of it by AWIMB there too until Berni broke rank

I'm within 100 yards of Mesut Ozil whenever we're both at home :shrug: This is because we both live on the same leafy Hampstead avenue - one of multiple reasons why my life is fundamentally better than yours.

I always struggle with this, probably linked to me not being English.

So, why is "less" wrong?

You'll be fine as long as the au pair is dog's cock ugly - or least more dog's cock ugly than your missus.
