If you ever do an updated version of your book about modern football being shit can you include a chapter about how every club has got an acoustic guitar wielding prick as part of their pre-match entertainment.

Or in fact just a chapter about pre-match entertainment as a whole!

@ancientandloyal.com Good morning, I have a question.

Is there a season review/highlights compilation video of Wigan’s 1998 season somewhere in the online sphere and if so would you mind awfully pointing me in the correct direction of it please.

I’ve had to take my copy back to the shop. It kept glitching with Warrington, they won the Grand Final in it!

I’d have gone more out of my way to watch the old Amsterdam pre-season tournament than I would to watch the Club World Cup, I saw the first half of the Bayern game yesterday because my service users were watching it and that was more than enough for me

Gary Neville at centre-back?!?! Redknapp/Fury out!

Not my choice unfortunately, I’m at work and the people I look after wanted to watch Bayern 😂

Oh most definitely, thought the game was beyond us when Leeming dropped the ball when bringing it out of the scrum. It was a win under difficult conditions, it’s what champion sides do.

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · Jun 14

Lot of people being less than complimentary in one of the Facebook groups. It wasn’t our greatest performance ever but we got the win and the lad scored two tries, that’s all that matters.
