@OptaJoe Erm, not his first “for Arsenal in all competitions” because even though it was a B team playing in a Mickey Mouse cup, Saliba was sent off against Wimbledon in 2020

@Brett_Dunbar @prodnose Fair point, well made.

@CNationsLeague Someone pls tell the commentator that Barbados #9 is Nathan Walters. He deserves proper recognition on his debut! Thx in advance!

@JoelMahone86714 @TheKnowledge_GU In the 2020 Covid-aborted season, Vancouver Whitecaps played 23 times with no draws (9W, 14L).

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@RudyR23 @TheKnowledge_GU For a couple of years (until last month), Vancouver Whitecaps often fielded (Javain) Brown, (Brian) White, and (Tristan) Blackmon, all lining up with (Ryan) Gauld (well…). I invite others to comb the MLS records to find colourful names on their opponents’ rosters

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@rezla But (afaik) only on phone or PC. On my iPad only upcoming livestreams are shown (and I’ve paid full whack for the international video package). Emailed the club today about this and other sky+ issues, so I’m sure I’ll get some acknowledgment very soon. Right @AFCWimbledon?

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@KentWomble Oh this is on yer actual sky sports, isn’t it? So not available outside the UK. Enjoy!

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@KentWomble There’s a livestream? How? I’ve only got the option of audio (which sounds like it’s via a tin can)

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@iainlee @jonronson Only saw them once, Oct 89 at Mcr Uni (support: The Exuberants, also impressive!) but later found that my student digs c93 on Fairview Ave in Levenshulme was 2 doors down from where Sheila & her partner (also in the band?)(and kids?) lived. Might have a pic, in a box in attic…

@DonnyWills83 @MartinAllenSmth @michaelwdawes @stusfootyflash One of them nicked by 16 yo brother’s ticket in the melee at the top of the stairs just before our turnstile gate. He bolted through the crowd and halfway round the concourse but somehow we managed to catch him in the car park and got it back. Close call. #whendavewentup

⁦@TheKnowledge_GU⁩ Today, Salford City’s “tactics” ensured that 6 of their players were shown yellow cards before half time (on their way to a total of 8 and a straight red). Does this constitute some kind of record?

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@HertsWomble @AFCWimbledon Not the greatest editing, sure. But to be fair, that hilarious free kick was probably the highlight of the game

[Wayne Ziants @wziants]

@FootballCliches I don’t doubt that Man City “never know when they’re beaten”. But when equalizing in the 13th minute?! Seems a little early for that, no?
Here’s a link to the (world feed?) footage that I saw here in Canada, which you probably can’t see

@HYFPRW @TheKnowledge_GU In short, yes: Joe Jacobson for Wycombe in September 2019

@jackmbirch @TheKnowledge_GU @leektown I don't know about over a season, but Wycombe got two in a single game in September 2019

@KentWomble I managed it, with judicious use of @BBC6Music and noise-cancelling headphones whenever leaving the house. To celebrate, today I’m wearing my favourite (non-AFCW) present

@DriveBC @CityofVancouver Could you please clarify whether the bike/pedestrian path is open, or if it's also closed. Thx in advance
