It was also the day 10-year-old me realised that Mark Viduka was the greatest footballer of that or indeed any generation.

Just seen this on twitter, Forest Green v a Man Utd XI from July '98:


I only recognise about 5 of those names, and only Wes Brown really made it at United - maybe Chadwick at a push

Crystal Palace cheerleaders made another video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK6sKMU985g

It's not good or anything but it is another video and it's sort of football related? I didn't know that they had a giant fursuit eagle. It makes sense I guess.

Wow, they're actually trashier looking than American cheerleaders, who knew.

Roy Keane is an absolute loving crazy person and I love him forever.

Also Gary Neville trying to act hard always gives me a laugh.

That was such an entertaining match.

Also all that bruhaha over Gary not wearing the anti-racism shirt. I wonder if that's what got Fergie all up on everyone wearing them this time.

Paddy didn't shake hands with anyone not wearing one, other than Neville, but that's because Gary went out of his way to grab his hand.

Robbie Keane is literally dead loving center in that picture, you can't miss his barber school haircut.

Davey Beckman is conspicuous by his absence though, unless he's under the robe...

1) "Unidentified fan" was a joke about that one Beckham/Keane/random kids pic at the Lakers game.

2) Beckham is right in front of Keane kneeling down... in front of the very large defender with the open robe.

I got the joke but felt it necessary to post about Keane's awful haircut, even my dad cracked on him about it during the Final.

Beckham is literally indistinguishable without seeing the pompadour but you're right.

And yes, I spelled indistinguishable and pompadour correctly without the aid of spell check.

It's like his career started in reverse and then righted itself.

By the way, when Americans are talking about concussions in soccer, this is the type of a situation when they happen. Getting hit to the head with the ball, not heading the ball like many think.

Yep. I got a concussion by getting hit in the back of the head with a shot from about 5 yards away a couple years ago.

Chuck out Suarez's goal, lobs over the keeper are overrated, and put in Cisse's other goal against Chelsea. Can't argue number one for context but it was the product of a poo poo defending bottle job.

Of course it's a 4x4, a footballer isn't going to take his Bentley Continental GT out in the snow.
