You mean you dont remember the time before facebook when you'd take pictures of your dinner and spend the next week visiting all your friends to show them it?

This is what pisses me off about socceraid

So Red Bull Salzburg and Benfica make it but Barcelona, inter Milan, even Napoli who have won serie A twice in the last 3 years don’t 😂😂😂😂

talking of which when did filming your hotel room and sending it round to everyone become a thing? Two of our friends are on holiday in different places at the moment and both sets of them have done it and set it to us on whatsapp. I dont give a fuck what your room looks like, dont go on holiday to stay in the room FFS.

The public dont help either though, this view that their side is the right side and everything the other one does is bad, rather than actually just cracking on with it. It's definitely got worse the last 10 years or so, mainly due to social media with everyone quick to jump on what the other side say, in a hurry to be outraged or right.

Millionaires telling people on minimum wage they should be donating to charity.

Another one i forgot about, was at a corporate golf trip to La Manga a few years back, went to the barbeque on the first night and Kenny Dalglish was there, they both had villas in the same place is good mates with the owner of the company whose event it was.

Well they are, this is the thing, it's a pretty low bar. How many MPs are likable and talk sense? You could probably count them on one hand. Maybe because the country is such a mess and they're always getting a grilling whenever they speak in public it's that effect where they never get the chance to appear remotely likeable or competent because everything they do and say is scrutinised to the tiniest detail by social media and the press. Or maybe 99% of them are just cocks.

Agreed, lets go for Jack Grealish too while were at it.

He used to have a sandwich round up Bedford Place area in the late 90s early 00s, used to often see him in the Lizard Lounge having a lunch time pint Jim McCalliog used to run a pub in Wetherby, went in there a couple of times when i first started coming up to Harrogate in the late 90s to see the future Mrs Turkish and some of my mates up here

This is my point how are they in it? How are teams like Porto, Salzburg and Benfica in it too? It’s weird

Fair point. How did they select the teams? How have Chelsea, Benfica and Red Bull Salzburg got in? 10-0 now it could have been 20 if Bayern had got out of first gear ridiculously easy, does the competition no favours at all

7-0 it’s literally attack v defence what’s the point of teams like Auckland being in it?

Watching it very dull game

At half time pointless

The world club cup is a bit of a joke Bayern Munich 5 Auckland City 0 after 45 minute

When I was kid playing for my team about 1990 it was at Fleming Park the Manchester United team were staying at the hotel next door they must have been out for a walk and A few of them watched some of our game in their Man United tracksuits. There were about 6 of them and I distinctly remember Neil Webb, Danny Wallace being there, can’t remember now who the others were but very exciting for 13 year old lads

Done it mate 🙄

Forgot a few Gary McCallister paying for parking in a Harrogate car park David O’Leary in the toilets of a Harrogate restaurant Gareth Southgate and David Prutton in the gym

Obviously with my engagement in the CoT this happens a lot but when outside of the usual pubs, clubs sightings what’s the most unusual place? for me jamie Carragher a the ticket machine in Kings Cross c2017 Dean Richards in a London Road letting agency c2000 Toby Alderwierld coming out of a sunbed shop when he played for us c2015

Thanks pal, I’ll accept my award and also the ITK award for the COT It’s been a great season personally with my recording breaking post but also consistently achieving huge numbers of likes and lols and finally retiring my old sparring partner MLG. However I couldn’t do it without you guys, so thank you for making this part of cyber space such a wonderful place on behalf of the CoT it’s a pleasure to share the information with you and with our 100% success rate across 3 windows the organisation has never been stronger and we are excited to share this windows information with you Good bless you all, stop the war in Gaza! thank you 🙏🏼

I’d happily buy anyone a beer mate there is nothing I like to do more than poisoning people

I see he was at Luton for a while, the genius behind Europes best manager perhaps?

For those, like me, who remember italia 90 romantically if this doesn’t make you nostalgic I don’t know what will so many memories
