@FootballCliches A moment please for George Raynor, going from managing Sweden in the World Cup Final to Skegness Town.

Stumbled across my new favourite managerial career

@FootballCliches Briefly thought Robert Downey Jr had fully embraced some top tier absoluting, until I realised what had actually happened.

We're recording FOOTBALL CLICHES on Thursday morning after Bayern vs PSG, so let's have your questions, observations, football-linguistic excavations, footballers' names in things & anything else - from the Champions League and beyond - for the midweek Adjudication Panel Cheers!

@FootballCliches I don't know what I thought his face looked like close up, but it wasn't that.

Bradford City has done well from former Aberdeen players - Brian Mitchell. Dean Windass and Eoin Jess come to mind. @AFCHereWeGo @aberdeenfcretro #bcafc

@GianmarcoSoresi 9 months? The average gestation period for a mouse is 19 to 21 days, even if the dad is a Goofy.

Dear god does anybody wear condoms?????

@allmoshnopit @Graham_Meakin I got married that day, there was a lot of whispered swearing during the speeches.

@Graham_Meakin My first Bradford game we lost 3-0 to West Ham in 1999. I fell in love with the game instantly

The first Wednesday game I went to. And I’ve never looked back since 😂

@FootballCliches Left backs that have a very hard shot

Recording FOOTBALL CLICHES today, and welcome any topical Adjudication Panel matters, but would mainly like your detailed, hyper-specific nominations for The Extinct XI, a lineup of player types, roles, characters, sub-sub-categories & anybody else who's firmly out of fashion...

@eugeneh84 I ran a pub quiz recently and asked who the England Men's team manager is. Not one team got it right.

An afternoon of remembering Tuchel is our manager and googling players in the squad i've never heard of awaits

Goal hanging twat

@FootballCliches @dead_pubs @jimmy__mcintosh The Great Oblak could easily be the 52nd word for pub.

@whatsisrtm @BygoneBritain The first one is in Yorkshire and it's absolutely unrecognisable from 2005

@BygoneBritain I could drive an hour to Yorkshire and see this exact same shit bruh

Britain, 2005 ⏳️

@ahtralfie 'Up there with such iconic and world renowned teams as the 1985 Oilers and the 1973 UCLA Bruins, you'll never sing that'

Huge achievement for Barcelona to be considered up there with such iconic and world renowned teams as the 1985 Oilers and the 1973 UCLA Bruins

Quite right too, the goal hanging twat.

The new strike partnership #bcafc

Is this good? #bcafc

During the fire at Valley Parade in 1985, Terry Yorath was helping to evacuate supporters, including his own family. When he rushed to the directors' lounge to warn people there to get out, the fire blocked his exit and he had to jump through a window to escape. There is a heartbreaking irony that the worst tragedies can bring out the best in people. Terry ran towards danger that day to save his family and to help others. It is moments like this that really show you who a person is. RIP Terry Yorath a #LUFC #BCAFC and Welsh legend. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
