I think you are confusing it with Prep School.

No, m'lord, it was definitely the squirrel. Nathan Jones could only run diagonally to the corner flag.

I think you'll find that it was actually Nathan Jones' hair, that had temporarily gotten loose and was making a break for freedom!

Not strictly an old ground but to this day the flag pole on top of the Kop at Anfield that caries the Liverpool club crest is the flag pole from the Isambard Kingdom Brunel ship The Great Eastern.

I read that too quickly and saw 'Islamabad'. The zeitgeist has warped my tiny mind

The ironic cheers from the home support when the opposition sky a shot.
Doesn't happen really in the Spanish leagues. Don't know why?

The Spanish, like the Germans don't do irony?

More like up a farm track with the ground on one side and a field of cows on the other.
Quirky weather there - snow at half-time in April!

Yes, getting it mixed up with Watford. It's the field of cows you have to walk through I think!

- the crowd whistling to remind the referee he has a whistle and he needs to blow it
- "we forgot that you were 'ere"
- how goalkeepers celebrate when their team scores
- managers gesticulating wildly on the touchline. Also managers giving the fourth official a hard time
- managers miming heading a cross in
- when someone in the crowd successfully catches the ball / heads it / gets poleaxed by it
- the frankly perplexing glee with which we celebrate the sight of a seagull wheeling over the north stand. We are by the sea, for goodness sake (well nearly)
- amusing ball boys
- waving cheerio when an opposing player gets sent off

So many more, but those'll do for starters
