Always liked playing on a mild day with a very fine drizzle though so agree on the 'perfect' bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stig Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 One trend I'm glad has stopped is the players hitching their shorts up before free kicks to show off their thighs..... I guess the socks rolled down/holes in the back is to show off their calves, so I reckon next up will be something like sleeves rolled up to show off their biceps. One thing that has completely changed over the last 20 years is shirts being untucked. Used to think I was cool back in the 2000s not tucking it in, but now even centre back cloggers don't tuck in.

Plus George, drunk twat, Best had mauve ones with laces on the outside. Either way, the idea of Motor-Way Worker Yellow, Opal Fruit Green, Skittle Orange 'back in the day' doesn’t bear thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 ... & while we're at it, the ovver elaborate hair. I'm sure Carrington has more hair dressers than coaches. If Pogba had spent as much energy on his playing as he did on his hair he'd not be a drugged-up has-been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laid on my back on site a few weeks ago to get a measurement from the floor to the roof using my electronic pinger and the cladding contractor came running over thinking the old bugger contracts manager had had a turn..

My lads are in to the grip socks trend at the minute which involves cutting the end of your socks off and replacing them with another sock with grips on it. Absolute bollocks. The new style socks are so much tighter than they used to be- the cuts relieve pressure on the calves (apparently). What colour socks do your lads play in? I’ll give you a couple of pairs of grip socks first game of season… I can vouch for how they make your boots feel better- 1% and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a centre half I've had imprints from shots I've got in the way of (intentionally or otherwise) that have still been visible a couple of days later. Today's pro's wouldn't know much about that, no bugger ever shoots unless they've completed 100 passes first and when they do its airy fairy curled efforts, they wouldn't know what a pile driver is!
