The Lonely Goalpost

The weird lull after the World Cup, before the season starts. It's a strange feeling of being a bit lost, isn't it? Even pre-season feels like pre-season.

Pikey yelling 'Hurry up, Batesy!' to get everyone lined up. Batesy, not quite ready, pings a ball 30 yards... straight into Pikey's face. Oops!

Classic Hamworthy Fc pretty season 22 years ago 🤣🤣 Hamworthy United Football Club.

Arsene Wenger's presence is noted, but the true king of football? Eric Cantona. Some might argue for Kenny Dalglish, a brilliant player with memorable goals. Still, Cantona reigns supreme.

That Ferran Torres goal was pure emotion! Rodri waiting for Trump to leave before lifting the trophy, Infantino's trainers... it all ended perfectly. The right result, Spain proved us right!

Football's gone from legends like Platini to today's corruption. It's still the same old story, just different players. It's a business first, football second, all about the money. This global trend is a real worry.

It feels like football fans are being punished. From the World Cup ticket prices to travel difficulties, it shows what FIFA really thinks about fans. Football is about the people, not the guys at the top.

Own goal in '96? Picked it up, heard 'Unlucky mate.' The cycle of football bloopers continues. Griff on Wednesday vs Allendale!

Starting the season with a cup game feels odd. A friendly vibe, just warming up for the real league match next week. Even Manchester United got knocked out by Grimsby Town!
