    You’re glad a game goes to penalties, but you do worry how the extra 20 mins are going to impact on your tiredness levels tomorrow! 
    You’re not really old. If you are you just think I’ll get up a bit later for my day of just pootling about. (Retirement blues no way!)

    You see a group of lads in the supermarket toiletries section discussing which is the best moisturiser. And then one says to another you’ve got fantastic skin.
    I had this discussion at a work gathering with a number of men of varying ages at an event pre covid. I looked on amazed as each went into great detail of their skin care routines and how much they spent on skin products.

    I was called soap and water for quite a while afterwards, and realised I am totally out of touch with today’s younger generation!

    I fell asleep in front of the tv sometime before the penalties started…tbf, I’m not sure I can claim that to be down to age, everybody I spoke to yesterday was tired and exhausted

    When having to be told what a "meet me at McDonald's" hairstyle is because I have no idea, and then saying "oh it's like the Jesus and Mary chain" and then having to explain who they are.

    you're going to have to explain that mate, haven't got a clue what any of that means

    You go to Camden with a couple of mates, find a pub to eat in, order a coffee then sit there complaining about your aches/pains and failing eyesight/hearing.

    It didn't seem that long ago that we'd have been looking for a place where we could get away with smoking a joint.

    My daughter on hearing James’ new song said that they sounded like a Killers’ cover band.

    just googled them and it's all good as they were formed the year I was born so I'm too young rather than too old

    When you see a reference to 'the scaffold' and all you can think of is Lily The Pink - who'd have thought Medicinal Compound would make you 9 stories high?

    You see Raheem Sterling’s old teacher being interviewed on the news and he looks younger than you.

    You watch a tournament and all the coaches are familiar to you but many of the players aren't.

    When your line manager asks what am I aiming for within the next five years when I’m about to retire. 

    Footnote: Now retired and fucking loving it!

    You remember when England manager was Walter Winterbottom, but forget who was manager before Allardyce. :/
