Robert Webb’s Soccer AM celebration is even better than David Mitchell’s comedy miss
Here’s a clip from the archives that turned up on Twitter after Gary Lineker said this about a thumping 9-0 win by Manchester City over Burton Albion.
They do make football look so ridiculously easy at times do Manchester City. It really isn’t, you know.

Peep Show’s Robert Webb replied and, well, it kind of escalated from there.
You say that Gary but I once kicked a football through that quite large hole on the Soccer AM inflatable wall. So we’re basically even, right?

I take it all back.

This is just my way to get someone to find the clip. So I can show my big brothers who don’t really believe it happened.

It must be on YouTube. Everything is on YouTube.

Afraid not. And I’ve tried the search in Spanish in case that might help. The search string in Spanish is “Robert Webb Soccer AM GOOOOOOAAAALLLL!!”
No fucking joy.— Robert Webb (@arobertwebb) January 9, 2019
You sure it wasn’t just a dream?

Gary love, I’ve had better dreams than that. My brother’s friend @kevbland saw it. So did David Mitchell who, not to rude, spaffed his own shot like a March hare after a good Christmas. It happened. Anyway… nice to talk.
