The English Football Thread

Definitely puts a different light on some of the ridiculous decisions he made as VAR in some Liverpool games.

The contxt of the video talking about masks and social distancing makes it seem like this was from a few years ago and released now. Im interested to.know who.they other fella is and the events around the video release

So strange that to a generation he is a TV presenter and not a genuine fox in the box goalscorer

The ref and his mate were both on drugs right?

Is it? Today’s 40 year olds would’ve been 7 or 8 last time he played competitively in Europe.

I’m 36 and I know Lineker as a household name from back in the day, but never saw him play. Only saw him from some old videos my dad brought home once that were top goals and top plays in the 60-90s

strange may be the wrong word
 I suppose its the same as growing up with Saint and Greavsie and only knowing them as some pissheads on the tele on a saturday lunchtime

I’m old enough and not only do I know him as a footballer but as a flavour of crisps.

It’s more telling that there’s currently a generation growing up that’s only known Zidane as a manager

Met Lineker (got him to sign an Italia ‘90 England shirt that’s still in the bottom drawer) when he was out here with Nagoya Grampus on a pre-season tour. He was in a box, not playing, and I recall jokingly asking him how Marconi Stadium compared to the Nou Camp
 just as someone hoofed a clearance into the car park and took out a windscreen.

Just as an aside, I got a malware warning from the Icegif link (top one in your post). Best remove that for the sake of those who don’t have good protection for their systems. Cheers.

EDIT: Cheers mate

Five defeats in a row for city

2x spurs
Sporting
Bournemouth
Brighton

Hardly a murderers row of a run
 (no disrespect to any of those teams)

Brighton capable of beating anyone, exceptionally run club, but yeah the rest of that run indicates wheels have fallen off.

I’ve got such a coaching crush on hurzeler.
