I was also staying with a mate who was at Manchester Uni, before booking into a hotel on the Sunday night as I was on a course for work. Also went to Blackpool on a Saints Social Club coach. Run in opposition to the brand new Travel Club. We had booze and no bingo.
The Plaza was still open for the next few years as I visited in every time I was up there. It also had Killer, which was the one below Suicide.
We had our fish and chips searched by the police inside Blackpool’s ground. Come the end of the match the police had gone but as a thank you they let the gates open in our end for the home fans. Another first for me were the golf balls thrown at us. When I got back to Edinburgh and related this to my friends, cue shouts of Jackanory.
FIFA Club Money Grab up & running with a 0-0
Today Ch 5 Bayern v Auckland FC.
Amateur team, half their players couldn’t get holiday leave to travel.
Bayern?
Can you please score lots of goals?
Nein
Olise scores in 3rd minute of 1st half stoppage time.
Screamer to make it a tight 6-0
10 goals for Bayern and Kane doesn’t get one. WTF?
And not even a goal involvement either…
Los Angeles FC unbeaten in ten games apparently. So Chelsea had best be on their guard. 
Played in the Atlanta Falcons 71,000 seater stadium in front of maybe 7,100
1-0
Chelsea have no shirt sponsor!
To be fair, I can’t believe they’d have honestly have expected a full house. It’s hardly the national sport there.
Infantino did
So did his operations team still trying to sell $52 cheapest tickets even after kick off
Sam Amo-Ameyaw starts for England U19s.
Germany slice through us and take the lead on 7 minutes, so Sam’s going to feel right at home. 
Germany score a second, followed shortly by an excellent byline cross from Meghoma met by Josh King who produces an excellent finish. 2-1.
Two more in quick succession. 4-1 at half time.
Pretty good comeback by our kids. 5-5 at full time
FFS. I didn’t bother with the second half. 
… and the U21s manage to ship the first goal tonight inside three minutes. So, that’s progress.
Its OK though as the Germans made 11 changes from the side that won their first two games so we should be fine…
I was hoping my earlier post would have brought that about.
Sadly not. Standards are slipping.
