Was it as good as I remember? Or was it a bit over-rated.

I get all warm and fuzzy thinking about it so must have been decent.

Can't remember. Gonna have to rewatch Football | Skills & Goals | 1992 - 2013 | Despacito (HD)

That was Football in it's prime. It's been in decline since. The rest might do it some good.

Ahhh those days of LVG football at United, what a joy it was to behold

I’d rather take quarantine staring at 4 walls

5 minutes of exciting football in decisive minutes, then 10 minutes of VAR.

Is Phil Jones still injured ?

I think we can all agree that even just with VAR being introduced 2019/20 was already going into history as the worst season to date...

It was in a gradual decline anyway. Could care less in this moment.

I'll never look down on a good old Burnley vs Newcastle humdinger again. Don't know what you've got till it's gone!

Is it just me or does everything else seems like a pale comparison to the real thing. I mean I tried watching classic games/highlights/documentaries, the lot. Nothing compares to match day excitement.

Damn I miss my weekly fix.

Get a footie game...whether it's PES or Fifa.. Then go sit on ya hands for a while like a proper mug.. Then play the footie game and it will be like watching a live game bc you won't feel ya hands controlling it.

Was great, especially in the old days. Sensible refereeing like this:


I know this isn’t even football but any excuse to post really.

I want it to come back but with how screwed the world is right now, I don’t miss it as much as I thought I would.

Bizarrely I’m barely missing it. I thought I would but I haven’t given it much thought. Maybe in a August when the new season should be starting but inevitably will not be it will kick in a bit.

I work weekends so I miss a lot of the football bar the late 5pm kick offs anyway. I'm used to missing a lot of games but even I'm starting to crave it somewhat. Watching old classics on youtube just isn't the same.
