Footage from 1968 showing Bobby Charlton, George Best, and the Manchester United squad casually knocking the ball around in training at The Cliff. 📽️
An unbelievable glimpse into football history—truly special to watch.
FIFA’s mission is to grow the game, not to fleece people and hide behind the redistribution line that Infantino uses to respond to all criticism. That’s an important aspect, but it’s not a license to exploit people.
Get people to these games. Give youngsters the chance to attend and see the best players in the world live. That’s how you create fans for life.
Happy Thursday. Start your day with Mexican keeper Jorge Campos coming on as sub for Atlante in 1996, playing up front, and casually scoring a sensational volley.
Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.
Universities “train students in “learned helplessness,” reinforcing the belief that they lack the capacity to cope without external relief. This cycle weakens students’ confidence and diminishes the value of academic credentials.”

30 - Arsenal took 30 minutes and 51 seconds to restart play against Brighton last night, their highest total in a Premier League match this season. Delayed.
Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal.
Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas.
The goal was disallowed and I was sent off — still it earned me legendary status. 😉

26 years ago at Upton Park:
Paolo Di Canio goes batshit bonkers vs Bradford.
After being denied three penalties, he’s officially had enough.
He fucks off to the bench and tells boss Harry Redknapp to sub him immediately.
What a time to be alive.
27 years ago today:
Nicolas Anelka, inexplicably wearing goalie gloves, latches onto a filthy flick from Zinedine Zidane to score for France at Wembley.
What a time to be alive.
