    Comedy — like the sense of smell — is closely related to the memory.

    Otherwise 1991 wasn’t such a good year for me, but it was the first time I saw the All-England Summarize Proust Competition.

    Sadly, I haven’t figured out what Proust wrote about in his first book, which, incidentally, reminds me — quite involuntarily — of the first time I realized I didn’t know what Proust wrote about in his first book.

    If I’m not mistaken, it was in 1991.

    Here’s a rough translation of what the host is talking about.

    Jarrow Utd were playing an Italian team, and their positive football overcame the overly defensive system employed by the Italians (“catennacio” – “the limpid tentacles of packed mediterranean defence”).

    Jimmy’s analysis is pretty simple “I hit it first time and it went in the goal”.
23. jazzx251 on February 28th, 2010 7:20 pm
    

    Cattenaccio is a negative defensive style of play invented by the Italians where they basically all sit behind the ball after going 1 – 0 up, yet still with the ability to counter-attack as there opponents press forward looking for the equaliser.

    The opposition, fearing the counter, will be too cautious to go and get the goal they need by overloading the Italian half. So the game always ends 1 – 0, or 0 – 0 if the Italians only need a draw.
