The time honoured cycle of #FiveASide is gradually getting older/slower while the new recruits gradually get younger/faster. Tonight at #FatLadsFooty three of the other side went to school with my son. #Grandad

Talking after #FatLadsFooty about time when you couldn't get into a nightclub without collar & tie, trousers & smart shoes. Until about 1990 I'd say. Pubs closed at 11pm back then. If you wanted to keep drinking & weren't dressed like a twat you had to go to a dive. In #Boro the Bongo or Havana.

Can't see what the fuss is about the 'drama' of the Man Utd game. Tonight in #FatLadsFooty we were [SEVEN] nil down and stormed back to 7-6.

Played #FatLadsFooty for the first time in three weeks last night and paying the price now as my old bones and rusted sinews strain and creak like a c17th Spanish galleon yawing and pitching in a force nine gale off Trinidad.

Fantastic game tonight at #FatLadsFooty - fast-paced, spirited and some cracking goals at both ends. Pulsating stuff. Finished 7-6. Football was the winner.

Brilliant game tonight at #FatLadsFooty - two well balanced sides, end to end, some great passing, two ferocious defences getting blocks and tackles in. Absolutely nothing in it. A tight 3-2 in six-a-side is pure Karanka.

Great night out in Saltburn with the #FatLadsFooty crew despite howling gales, lashing wind and an hour long power cut that forced us to resort to cash by candlelight.

Saltburn people: what are the best bars for the #FatLadsFooty Christmas outing? Saturday late afternoon into evening. Good beer. Chance to chat. No pumping music. Possibly with food at some point. Last train home.
