Being up there with hundreds of bored and hungover #lufc fans mooching around, waiting for the big game one Wednesday afternoon in November 2000 was quite the experience.

The rooftop features over 3,400 statues, 135 gargoyles, and numerous pinnacles, many of which were carved by hand over centuries.

More mundanely, I bumped into Kevin Keegan outside a clothes shop off Oxford Street (Browns of South Moulton Street) on the morning of a Newcastle game at Chelsea. I got his autograph while my dad said out loud "Who's that then?" #cringe
Johnny Giles@johnnygiles.bsky.social · 2w agoMarvelled at #Keegan in this game. Movement and finishing was next level. KK contributed two more goals to his seasons total of 26 en route to Div One top scorer. #lufc scored 39 all season en route to Div Two. Thousands outside seeking his autograph, I was a lucky one youtu.be/WrB7H-dLaa8?...
Given that the BBC knew there was going to be a half hour break, why not just show the Likely Lads episode where Bob & Terry are trying to avoid hearing the England score? Or The Good Life Christmas episode or the Porridge episode where Fletch goes home on compassionate leave? Or frankly any tv show
The World Cup Final, or as absolutely nobody is calling it, The Fede Bessone - Marc Rocca derby #lufc
When England won the World Cup in 1966 they won 5 games and scored 11 goals. In 2026 they've won six and scored 20.
Brilliant rule change by FIFA to ban defending in this match. Fair play. #EngFra
At the London Stadium for the Diamond League athletics. Live coverage on BBC One from 1.00, if you're interested. Hoping for great things from Josh Kerr and Keely Hodgkinson. In the same way I was *hoping* (rather than expecting) for great things from England in the World Cup. #TeamGB
Viewing figures for the third place play off are going to be outstanding. #England
If you think I'm shallow and petty enough to want Spain to lose purely because of Cucarella's hair, you'd be bang on the money #FRASPA
Be interesting to see how clubs who have smaller squads, have qualified for Europe and whose players have been heavily involved in the World Cup fare in the coming season. #lufc unsurprisingly have the least WC player minutes of any PL club. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
