I only remember McGoldrick scoring one for us - against Standard Liege in the season we won the CWC. Don't remember a somersault, though.Quote:

He looked remarkably well, considering. I think the lighting was very carefully arranged.Quote:

:nod: Like the fellow in that Tom Sharpe book.Quote:

Interestingly, banh mis in the north are shÃ*t. Just paté, no roast pork, no coriander and no pickles :shrug:
I found some remarkable dishes: a caramelised pork dish like hong shao rou but better, and a breakfast number called banh mi op la; a baguette served with two fried eggs, a steak and a lump of paté :cloud9: Also, several noodle soups which are mush better than pho.
Five at breakfast is a very special effort indeed! :clap:Quote:

They're pretty small, to be fair, but five is still fúcking ridiculous.Quote:

I looked up the goal in question and he celebrated it in a Shearer style by running towards the Arsenal fans with his finger pointing skywards.Quote:

He did indeed - one of six English scorers :yikes: and an Islington-born IrishmanQuote:

Fücking hell. McGoldrick and Selley score in a 0-7 away thrashing by a notoriously low-scoring Arsenal team that didn't even include Ian Wright.Quote:

He was always one booking away from suspension in that campaign so George left him out where he could
Took a chance on him in the semi-final 2nd leg and gets suspended for the Final
:cry:
Wreah's one was quite advanced, iirc. I'm sure there was a half pike in there as well. PEA's one is a little underwhelming when compared.Quote:

Still won :)Quote:

My autocorrect wanted to change it to Christopher Wren, which was a bit confusing.Quote:

Wreh performed a better somersault against Wimbledon
Nearer a 10 than a 9

More an architect goals than a scorer, Would have done well at Hamburg' second teamQuote:

with hindsight, some of their defending is positively Arenalesque. Particularly the Selley and Campbell wonsQuote:
