Cool video. Shows how far the game has come. That was the top league in the world at the time and I reckon my AA2 team could beat them now.

Hahahaha, 

 

 


 

A football-loving schoolboy applied for the job of Bolton Wanderers manager – telling the chairman the players were slow, unfit and overweight.

Thomas Fielding, nine, a season-ticket holder at the Macron stadium, asked for the job when the struggling club parted company with Dougie Freedman last month.

After his honest assessment of the players, Thomas added: “I know that I am young but I am cheapâ€.

Despite listing his own football experience with Oxford Grove under-10s, and ending his letter “BWFC Rulseâ€, the board instead appointed Neil Lennon, the former international and double-title-winning ex-Glasgow Celtic manager.

But Thomas’s disappointment was tempered by a surprise visit from Lennon to the boy’s football training session.

The manager told bwfc.co.uk: “His letter was very similar to the one I sent in – it’s just his had better handwriting.â€

The championship club currently stand just above the relegation places.

-Why are you touching me you creep?

-I'm just getting my pie.

-...... SECURITY!!!

 

I reckon it'd be better if you tapped her on the shoulder, when she turns around, you say, "Can I get my pie?" and she's be like 'wtf', then you grab the pie from her jacket, say "Thanks!" and then just start eating it.

A video taken of the great man himself, Manfred Schaefer, doing his normal day job back around the time of the 1974 World Cup (i.e. being a Milko in the Cabramatta area). Unfortunately it's in German so you need to be a cunning linguist to get it all  :ninja:

Greenland is normally associated with ice and blisteringly cold temperatures. Despite being the world’s largest island, it is the least densely populated country on Earth, with just 57,000 inhabitants. The inhabitants, primarily Greenlandic Inuit but also Greenlandic Danes, speak Danish or Greenlandic. Based in the North Atlantic, it is part of the Danish Commonwealth, like the Faroe Islands, a group of islands west of Scotland. There are barely any roads in Greenland, due to the sheer distance between the sparse collection of settlements. This makes football very difficult – which makes the fact that over 10% of the island’s population plays the game all the more impressive.
