Llansantffraid, nr Oswestry. Not as good as they were but not as bad as Oswestry. Lost in the UEFA Cup 12-2 to Amicka Wronki (Poland). I live in Bracknell so I know these things.
I did like the comment about Celt nationism Mike, being defined by their anti-Englishness - much the same as if your own team is crap, then hate the successful ones i.e. Man U & Arsenal, and gain some recompense that way.
I have seen most of the Arsenal games this season, and am only too well aware of Mr Floppy (ole pony tail)'s errors - on my part, it is out of loyalty to a good player who has now seen his best years that I defend him.
Sure, he has made some howlers recently, and I think he will announcing his international retirement now. However, that is no reason to try and rewrite the history books - he has been arguably the best goalkeeper of the current generation of English goalies in the 1990's and early 2000's.
....which isn't saying much. Goalkeeper has, alas, been one of our weakest positions (along with left side of midfield) since Peter Shilton started to decline in the late 80s.
