World Cup Keeper of the Tournament could not cope with Blades

(Apologies if there are posts on this elsewhere - I couldn’t find any)
Grandson reminded me that the official Goalkeeper of the Tournament at the World Cup, Emi Martinez, picked the ball out of the back of the net 4 times at the Lane for Reading less than 4 years ago in a 4-0 victory for the Blades (February 2019). The second goal was his fault, when he passed to a defender who had Fleck in his prime breathing down his neck to pinch the ball off him. To be fair to him, he made a number of good saves after that, which led me to say to those sitting near me that afternoon ‘That keeper will go on to win the World Cup within the next 4 years’

I love that. You remember everything… except what happened recently! I did say ‘my grandson reminded me’ - I had forgotten, and we’re talking about a world famous goalkeeper here.

You presumably heard what I said, and were repeating it

I remember matches from 1970 to 1975 a lot better than matches of recent years.

Like our computers, the available memory gets full, and there’s no room for anything new to be added.

Fuck him, who were that spotty herbert in goal for Swindon in the 2015 playoffs?

Wasn't it mentioned last night that Martinez was in goal for Oxford in league 1 earlier in his career?
