Let’s give it a try on here! If by a long shot anyone has a connection to a member of Manchester United’s 1992-93 title winning squad then please put me in touch with them. I’d like to interview at least one for my book ‘Now You’re Gonna Believe Us’ Any help is greatly appreciated #MUFC

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!

Just a pointer towards the latest episode of my podcast Pundits & Panini Stickers. This time round we’re looking at the January 29th 1994 episode of Match Of The Day which features action from the fourth round of that season’s FA Cup!

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

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 · 14/06/2025

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.

I’m glad someone still watches it! 😂 If you fancy it, I think we’re recording on Wednesday evening next week so let me know if that works for you and I’ll send you a link to the episode we’re watching and a link to the notes as well.

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

In case you’re interested in Pundits & Panini Stickers, you can listen to the ‘pilot’ episode here in which myself and my co-host Mike (I found him!) discuss an episode of Match Of The Day from the 1997-98 season. We’re recording episode one next week! Follow the below account for more info!

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Ahead of the recording next week of the first episode of @punditsandpaninis.bsky.social I’m looking for your stories of meeting a 90s/00s footballer. The more mundane the better. Did you meet Kevin Phillips in Morrisons? Did your dad fit Terry Phelan’s Sky box? punditsandpaninis@gmail.com

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Well that’s a valid point! Did I read correctly once he plays cricket to a relatively high standard these days? (I say these days, it was probably about 15 years ago when I read about him)

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

I hope the missing sticker is a proper classic Prem player if the time. A Jason Dodd or Gary Doherty type figure

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

As per a couple of posts I made the other day I would be very appreciative if you could give @punditsandpaninis.bsky.social a follow. It’s the page for the podcast I’m hoping to get launched relatively soon. Still looking for someone to join me on the pod on a regular basis too!

Fancy chatting about 90s/2000s football while looking back at old episodes of MOTD, Football Italia, The Premiership etc? I’m looking for a co-host for Old School Football Podcast! Don’t need any particular experience, just need to be able to chat about football. Drop me a DM if you fancy it!

000

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

(Cont.) and chat shit about 90s/00s football and Andy Townsend’s tactics truck etc? Alternatively, if you can help me find Mike (he used to do Relive The League on Twitter and some bits with Cultras podcast as well) and see if he fancies getting back on board that would also be great!

Daniel Barker @danbarker2802.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

So basically last year I tried to start a football podcast reviewing old episodes of Match Of The Day etc and I’ve decided I want to bring it back. Only down side is I lost contact with Mike my co-host (mainly due to me leaving Twitter) so I’m wondering does anyone want to come on board. (Cont.)
