I was on a work trip to Paris and dragged two colleagues down to the Frog & Rosbif at the bottom of the Rue St Denis, to watch it. They had the “pleasure” of listening to me use language that would have embarrassed a sailor with an axe in his foot, for 45 minutes, and then running and jumping around the bar like a lunatic when Macken scored. I think the bar staff were mildly amused though....
They weren't natives then?

If memory serves they were a mix of Aussies, Brits and French

What a beautiful story. Glad he came through it.
I had been in the hospital that night visiting my grandad. I turned the radio on and we were 3-0 down and then heard Anelka go off injured and Barton had been sent off. I turned the radio off at that point.
My mate text me to tell me it was 3-1 and then 3-2. I told him I wasn’t going to turn the radio back on and for him to update me. Ten minutes later he called me screaming down the phone and then again when Macken scored. So I didn’t listen or watch it live but was still a memorable night for me.

Fanzone was brilliant, I guess sky were getting embarrassing figures for the paid commentators so ditched it.
Used to really enjoy the Fulham fan with 'The Wardrobe' comments on Diop as well.

what a night that was I had put a tenner on for me and £20 for my brother in law I think we were 7-1 my brother in law text me at half time to say that was a waste of a bet, at 3-2 he rings me saying have you still got the betting slips ( the old fashioned way to bet) luckily and had not thrown them, been a city for 40 years I had always lived in hope!
so a good night all round and few extra beers
