Football and war and stuff. Grab a coffee and have a read through this piece put together by ⁦@andrewaloia⁩ ⁦@thetalkofsport⁩ and me. Truly remarkable what some people had to live through. ⁦@Jimmyseed1947⁩ #thelastpass https://t.co/Xwf8g9sfWo

@matt_newsum @Theleaguemag Yeah. The disgusting jade kit of the mid-late 80s. It matched our horrific football. 😬

@theofficialfwa @CFCJourno 3/3 And we also shared a football pitch about 20 years ago when our teams played a “friendly”. He was still a very good central midfielder. He could really play. And boy was he competitive. 😁💙💙⚽️

@theofficialfwa @CFCJourno 2/3 Paul trusted me to cover Chelsea on his behalf on a rare occasion he couldn’t make it. We spent many an hour together in the press box and at Kingsmeadow covering the reserves.

@matt_newsum There’s loads to go at in there, it’s a bit out there for your average replies of the time. Normally Phil Collins, buy a pub, be invisible for a day and Minder are standard answers.

@TomJGarry Congrats mate. Are both of you joining the Guardian? 👀🤦‍♂️

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@Ian_A_Woodcock Brutal. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@KeithKnight05 I think I can see you grabbing a divot of the pitch🤪

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@casscj70 @PatNevin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣Sensational.

@ChrisSlegg Did you phone a friend on the rock question?

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@KeithKnight05 @chriswrightzz Who would have guessed which three turned out to be good buys? Mal goal v Tottenham was worth 100k alone! @SpennyBoy7 a bargain. Class…& goal in Vienna is still one of my favourite Chelsea goals. @Mickharford was wonderful. Shame Rob Fleck never worked out. One of those things.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@Ian_A_Woodcock @matt_newsum Some of the greatest touch players ever to grace the game…Hoddle, Beardsley, err Fashanu.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@Ian_A_Woodcock It might explain it, but moreover I like making the reader work hard for puns. It’s a challenge. Like a live text Wordle.

@KeithKnight05 @ChelseaChadder Easily in my top five games I’ve been to. Best atmosphere ever at a home game.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@JimMFelton That is one of the greatest responses to a moronic social media post that you will ever see.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@CFCJourno The goal was a cross. Good but simple header. His touch and awareness has to be better. He messed up on several occasions when he had a decent ball. He needs better service undoubtedly, but he has to do better when he gets ball to feet. He has all the attributes. So frustrating.

[Owen Phillips @owenphil]

@CFCJourno True. But maybe when he does get it, he could control it occasionally?
