Hey! I take umbrage at that. You leave my (adopted for extremely spurious reasons) team alone!

We can both still hate Man U though, right? :)

Some of my fondest memories of my father are from being woken to watch the FA Cup final with him – a ritual beginning with Keegan and Toshack's Liverpool beating Newcastle 3-0 in the early 70's

Same. We used to always go to a family friend's house and watch it…

Meh, there's no such thing as a Man U (or a Chelsea) supporter because they're not proper teams, even people in Manchester and London think that.

Which incidentally, is why I support Liverpool – winners of the first big game…

From then until I was 14 I had every Man U strip, homes, alternates, aways, one-offs,… ]]> Tue, 04 May 2010 16:17:41 +1200 Russell Brown https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/field-theory-in-the-middle-of-the-night/?p=163950#post163950 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/field-theory-in-the-middle-of-the-night/?p=163950#post163950

With this new season of Lost my partner and I have declined downloading the latest episode and are watching it the "old" way. It's an interesting experience, having to be somewhere with a TV at a certain time on a certain day.

We're not going quite that far — we…

I think that's what you do for the Superbowl. Never for an FA Cup.

I really enjoy doing this with some programmes…

I prefer it the old way – champions (only) from each country play home & away knockout tournament? Brilliant format, no dead rubber league system (there's 2 of them now) like now when the only interesting stuff happens in the quarter finals,… ]]> Fri, 30 Apr 2010 15:36:30 +1200 Edward Siddle https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/field-theory-in-the-middle-of-the-night/?p=163788#post163788 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/field-theory-in-the-middle-of-the-night/?p=163788#post163788

Surely the advantage of our modern world is that you can get up at 7am, ignore the outside world for about two hours, and watch it delayed having recorded it off the internet (or whatever).

Well yes, there is that of course, and often that's the best tactic specially when…

I imagine many of you have similar memories. Maybe not of football, but of getting up or being gently woken by parents, to sleepily walk downstairs and see something happening live on the far side of the globe.

My memories are of going to the ABs/Lions games at Athletic Park…

My first memory of middle of the night sport is the 1980 All black tour of Wales – sitting nervously wondering if the All Blacks could breach the…
