May the good Lord forgive me, but I'm going with another Association Football sketch this morning, and this one's my absolute favourite.

It might not feature international Association Football, but Harry Enfield's gloriously glorious sketch involving a 1930's Arsenal team (featuring their captain, Charles "Charlie" Charles), taking on the 1991 Liverpool team - in black and white - is a thing of genuine comedic beauty.

Can you believe this is 35 years old!!

Good morning.
