😁😁 Yeah I saw that as well did the magic then let him self down with the distribution.
that left foot top bins from kaka was nice. Kaka seems like a nice man

was it here we had a discussion on the origins of 'top bins'?

"cut it back!"

I don't normally use top bins but typed it down for some reason. I like postage stamp as a discription. I looked at different country's name for the top corner goal for a range of T shirts I seam to rember the Dutch word was nice referring to a craftsman tri square. I can't find the list now but there were some nice ones.
Edit found it - winklehaak

Close your eyes and smash it.... Generally over the bar in my case

I don't know the origin of it, but can't even come up with a farcical pretend backstory. I definitely used to say it but can't imagine what it referred too?!?

The only thing I can think is the competition where you see goals with holes in top corners and Bottom corners but I'm guessing

In proper football, coaching goals will have target nets on them. Top, middle, bottom, corners.
Top bin.
Is as you'd think, top left or top rght corner with the little section.

Hark at lah de dah with his practice nets. We had circles painted on a wall.

I thought it was from Soccer AM?

this.

also: hello liverpool lurker.

Well. When i moved to Nottinghamshire it got worse.

Paint? Paint?!? Luxury... We'd shoot at the light patch of bricks where we'd knocked all the soot off the wall...

That reminds me of playing football in our yard and having Welshy the porter come chasing after us... Terrifying, hilarious yet extremely exhilarating...

I haven't thought about Welshy in over forty years, wow, time travel...

I suspect there will be quite the mix

In other news, any watford connections here? struggling to get a ticket... I appreciate I'm grasping at straws here

apologies if this is a repost

Watched Derby U19 vs Dortmund U19 yesterday and I'm turning all Kopite with thoughts to next season, and the season after that, and the season after that...

Such a talented group of kids with 3 of the best of our U19s unavailable due to being used in the first team at the moment. Dortmund weren't too bad either and their 15 year old striker Moukoko (26 goals in 16 games this season) was a handful most of the match.

Will find out on Friday who we'll get in the last 16 next. Hoping to draw someone like Juventus, Real Madrid or Bayern. Atalanta's youth team look pretty good too.

Chelsea nearly got the deal for Ajax Hakim Ziyech nearly done this is quite exciting direct replacement for Pedro.

Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin at New York fashion week is absolutely fantastic

I thought it might be fancy dress...

Be interesting to see how this plays out #taintedtitles

They're two of the best things about the club right now. The extent to which Davies gives zero fucks and is happy to wander about town like a colour-blind 70's pimp is genuinely refreshing.

Citeh banned from the Champions League for the next two seasons.

Pep'll be off this year then

I reckon City will appeal and try to push it back a season to try and give Guardiola another shot. Either way, there’ll be massive changes to the playing staff in the summer.

It would be amazing if it gave Sheff Utd a pop at the champions league.
