Lazy one today. Just a load of random pictures of football at Christmas, inspired by the nonsense that used to appear in Shoot and Roy of the Rovers back in the day at this time of year. Enjoy…
Last trustworthy English goalkeeper Peter Shilton
Bouncers “Take it handy boys”
Woman on the right “It’s only Spurs lads!!”. With Greavsie 4th from the left…
The beginning of the end of the great Liverpool dynasty in the early 90’s…
Christ!
If only there was rhyming slang for how fecking Charlie Nicholas this photo is…
Class from Pirlo. What else do you expect…
Pint of wine out of shot. This post has been worth doing for this pic alone…
Football hipster Santa Klopp picture on a story headlined “Jurgen Klopp slams possible Liverpool game on Christmas Eve as ‘the worst you can get'” – No Premier League schedule will get in the way of his Jurgen Yuletide…
1998 Story from the Middlesbrough Gazette with the caption “Gazza pulled a couple of Christmas crackers as Boro fought out a 2-2 top flight draw with Newcastle.” It’s been a long 20 years….
Fucking hell! Could it get any scarier than that!!
Yes. Yes it could… That man there is probably the greatest player to have ever played the game of football. Different class…
Roddy the rednosed Reindeer…
That word… That word you are looking for is geebag… as in “Did you see Mourinho in those Real Madrid Christmas photos?” “Yeh, what a total geebag”. If you’re English, ask someone Irish what that means. There is no English equivalent. There just isn’t.
The last 10 years in one photo…
George Best and Mike Summerbee as Santa in 1967… Those were the days eh?
Never change Eamo! Never change… and with that ludicrous mush, we can say the bottom of the barrel has been well and truly scraped… Happy Christmas. Enjoy the ridiculously stretched out Premier League schedule over the festive period and I hope your team deliver you some Christmas cheer, as long as your team is Liverpool…
Thanks for reading…
