Apols for the thread title... Appropriately renamed.

The early days of the PL were really awful.
So many good clips from that period, especially with goalkeepers trying and failing to adjust to the new back pass rule.

Going to play my first game of football in about 5 years or something mad tomorrow evening. I hope I can keep up with the young whippersnappers...

Christ... my legs this morning!
I can't get up and down the pitch like I used to, and my legs don't have the power as they should, so I just lurked Pirlo style in the centre. I didn't disgrace myself; Set up a couple of goals and had a few shots that weren't embarrassingly over or wide... although I did make one air shot at a volley which ended up straining my left thigh.
Still, good to be back playing. It felt good pinging passes around.

On one of the hottest days of last summer I played my first game in about 8 yrs. I was 4months off turning 40 and playing with lads in their late 20s. I must’ve lost half a stone in sweat, was dying & my legs definitely could not do what my head wanted them too. To top it off I went in goal for a breather and took a shot straight to the balls from about 3 yards out

Oh how many 17 y/o's, making their Sunday league debuts, have been taken out by the hungover RB (including myself)?

Love watching players showboating at inappropriate times get destroyed by some farmer. When it happens, it makes me smile to know that everyone on that pitch has been picked for their particular talent and the manager has had the forethought to put a hard working ploughman on the minute he identified some flash Harold on the oppo's team sheet

A friend of mine once filmed Titus Bramble sweeping the floor in a pizza/kebab house on Norwich's Prince of Wales Rd. - true story.
