Is anyone doing the Panini World Cup sticker album?

[Pioneer]

I want to do it but I'm not sure I can cope with the shame of it all.

[Classic Jorge]

Love the use of #gotgotneed

[Berni]

I don't think it would have the same appeal now.

Also, there used to be a manager of St Mirren (I think) who was a dead spit for Neanderthal Man.

How much are packs nowadays, three quid or something?

Back in my day etc.

[Pioneer]

Purely nostalgia-driven. It won't be the same as when mum would buy me a couple of packets when she bought the petrol or whatever.

But I still want to do it.

Outrageous.

But I still want to do it.

Are you aware of http://www.oldschoolpanini.com?

Swedish FA were going to give my li'l one a dispensation - then the Barca ban and fine came and all of a sudden the Swedes lost their spine.

They are a bit like that our neighbours in the east I'm afraid. Tend to be a bit too err... "neutral" at times.

Don't mention the war!

[Berni]

away. The joy of it was the drip-drip supply and the 'Got. Got. NEEEED!!!' and the card-flicking games. Without that, it's just weird.

[Jake]

Yaya would be my choice.

Ebuboo second.

Sol Bamba a close third.

I remember my dad taking me to a swap shop at Wembley Arena. Full of like-minded got-got-need nnnnnnerds. Was great. :cloud9:

Can't do that if you buy a massive box off Amazon.

Trevor Cherry was playing for England.

No, not my set, sadly, but was the tiem I started collecting _ when i was seven or eight.

As a kid, I actually used to think George Berry had a square-shaped afro because of how he looked on the Panini stickers.

Some of the German Panini players were really shocking, too. NO excuse for this:

special hardcover to protect them.

My Hibs-supporting mate LOVES Sol Bamba.

taking it in turns to flick the cards to try and know them over.

I remember the cards almost being like a currency at school. A shiny one was worth five normal ones etc. Two shiny ones for a cigarette, allegedly...

I'd enjoy Paul Pogba a lot as well.

JUST what the kids were worrying about...

:rolleyes:

[Pat Vegas]

and if certain players they make more stickers off than others.

I always seemed to have more Vinny Samways for example than anybody else.

And how come the cool kid in the class always had all the ace badges.

Or if I had a badge I'd be ripped off. I'll give you 6 stickers for it. Alright. But they'd all be crap wons :-(

My f**king fickle mind has now convinced me that I want to do this. Will go to Smith's at lunchtime to get an album. Let's get an AWIMB swap shop going.

Re: Welbz. I dunno, I'm just quite fond of him. Probably started with that goal against Sweden in the last Euros. Also all this stuff: http://welbzisdatguy.tumblr.com

I messaged my (United-supporting) mate who went to that Sweden game, saying that I was growing fond of Lil' Welbz. He said of course I was, everyone liked Welbeck, even the guy behind him at the game who referred to him as "the good *racist term removed*". England fans. :-(

Whoever got closer would take away both cards. Fights invariably ensued.

f**king hold West Brom had what appeared to be a sparrow as their club badge.

Modern things are rubbish.

Norway agreed, a couple of years ago, with FIFA, that the Nog FA can approve dispensation applications for minors that are either single asylum seekers or exchange students as long as they play in the lower leagues, as it then is obvious that these kids were not headhunted by a pro club.

The Swedish FA were going to try this, not only for my Charlie, but also for other kids in the same situatuion in Sweden. As the Swedish FA sat down and discussed this, the news broke about Barcelona and the Spanish FA being fined, so they put the whole deal on ice, the spineless *******s.

My housemate works at Smiths. I'm going to ask him to thieve me some.

She does play it at a good level, but despite me and my dad trying to convince her golf is such an extremely more fun sport than football, she refused to listen.

Golf is a sport that promotes honesty and sportmanship as opposed to diving, cheating and lying. And it pays better.

As in 'I'm just off to have a quick throstle to clear the pipes and then I'll be right with you'.
