Top @wsc.co.uk reading en route to the @thefsa.bsky.social AGM in the big smoke. Excellent editorial which takes a well-deserved swipe at Infantino, especially his tone deaf nonsense attempt a statemanship at the FIFA Council #RebootFIFA

Catching up on the @wsc.co.uk ‘s pods and there’s a wonderful section on @camsell59.bsky.social’s 1991 visit to #NUFC’s Benwell training ground, where “We don’t practise set pieces cos Ossie (Ardiles) says if you know how to kick a football then you know how to take a corner”.

A very happy 40th birthday to the wonderful @wsc.co.uk. A subscriber since issue 18 (1988) and it’s always a joy when a new one arrives

Happy birthday @wsc.co.uk, the only print media I ever read these days 🥰

Briefly flirted with the idea of having a pre-match beer somewhere different for a change. But then I remembered you can’t beat perfection so it’s The Murenger as always. Perfect chance to read the new @wsc.co.uk too. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Wow. What a superb resource

This looks great. As a veteran of the broken down bus to Tirana, I’ll be searching for the reports about that. (But if anyone can offer a home to hundreds of back issues, dating back to single digit numbers, they’re yours if you can collect from Birmingham.)
