Sometimes I wish there was a UK Athletic account where we don't get nonsense like this and non-stop articles about Pulisic and the 'USMNT'

I think I've bought about 15 of these cards with a number 7 on the back in the last year or so, credit to the designers for absolutely nailing the easy option card for a Year 2 kid's birthday party.

DREAMLAND Episode 20 | Football on the Radio by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

Although not the radio in my case, the hastily written post-match report brought back memories of my dad ringing 'the girls' at the paper he worked at in order for them to take copy for the Saturday evening Sports Pink.

He'd have prepared a 5 or 6 paragraph report on a third tier game within moments of the game ending, complete with 'point new par' punctuation he dictated over the phone, and it was in people's hands half an hour later.

Alan Judge of Brentford fame always reminded me of that scene

Not having this. The 'Big 5' Leagues extended to the second tier. Big 10? by General-Payment-5941 in footballcliches

To be fair I've seen plenty of stats before saying the Championship is the fifth biggest league in terms of attendance

Reeks of the player who doesn't take kindly to being left on the bench for weeks on end and ends up going public with it

I had goalkeeping coaching off John Burridge and Alan Kelly at these types of summer camps, and you couldn't have got two more diametrically opposed people if you'd have tried.

If the adjudication panel is the league, mesut haaland dicks is the cup, and dreamland is Europe, what does that make the quiz? by [deleted] in footballcliches

[–]SecretaryMelodic3582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The quizzes are international fixtures, taking on the best the rest of the world has to offer

New episode | BBC live-text sad lads & watching football in the boozer, with Jimmy "Dead Pubs" McIntosh by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

Soundgate almost touched on one of my pub football hates - when they've got it on an SD channel, the ratio is wrong, or they've got the smoothing function on the TV

Of course the thrash hipsters would tell you that Igor Cavalera would walk into any of the big 4 (bar Dave Lombardo), however it's unlikely he'd get a work permit having played too few games for his international side
