Definitely the best in a long time, that panel with Kyle Walker as an Empire Strikes Back walker will live in the memory.

Best one in ages. Some genuinely hilarious stuff, from Puuki as an Ewok through to Chernobyl and Oliver Reed!

Yep. Norwich-Man City panels are great

After your film location genius I'll take great joy in pointing out that it's Return of the Jedi

Thanks for the Atalanta badge reminder too by the way guys, that's a great shout. This is an instant classic of his

While the panel is a Jedi AT-ST, one is glimpsed in the Hoth battle

Gonna make an even nerdier shout - was that AT ST only added in the George Lucas adding random bits wave of edits in the 2000s?

Note the second appearance of Kyle Walker, where the sides of his head are dented from where the logs had hit him.

I have no idea how he weaves so much into it, every time. Even a literary allusion to Bruce's crime-fighting novels, spun off the newly-cancelled Newcastle training session. Utter genius.

Stoke-of-Course

EDIT: And the yellow cards next to Xhaka's name!

Ray K · « **Reply #855 on:** October 1, 2019, 12:00:13 pm »

And the return of Sir Chips Keswick.

It's the little things that tickle me - like the Milka cow with Xhaka written on the side. I'm going to look up Brendan O'Neill now to see if he has a massive arse-shaped head.

That’s absolutely brilliant. Sir Chips should be wearing Bendtner’s trainers but otherwise gosh, that really is top work.

They'll be fewming at that "it's only 25 years"

Surprised that Kuka Shaker got a reference in the TFI Friday panel. I will would have gone for Reef myself.

There was a Texaco Cup too, and Newcastle were the last winners, according to Wiki. Who knew, eh?

The only slight fault is missing out Keane's pointless pointing at Hendricks, just before he scored.

Fair point although I do actually remember watching Kula Shaker perform Tattva some time around Euro 96. Peak 90s.
