Shak

This is now ultimately what I expected the game to be, just took France a bit longer to get there.

Romero got crocked pre-tournament. I don’t know who that is... I used to really know my shit. Teenage Shak would not approve of the man I’ve become.

Cracking from Mbappe. How is there not a single semi-competent goalkeeper in all of Argentina though?

This is class.

That’s an example of why VAR is worth persisting with IMO. Without Colombia were basically out of the tournament on a bad call.

France will make bits of them I’d imagine. They’ll be well organized and will just let Argentina self destruct at the back. Great drama tonight though and pleased to get to see Messi play again.

What a finish that was. Goal for Iceland would be amazing.

Does Meza play football professionally?

Cracking first contribution from him.

Yep, they are the finest example of a manager fucking up a team being the reason they didn't win a tournament IMO. Pekerman is great but that day he massively fucked up. I’ll never forget it. Had a Crespo to be top scorer and Argentina to win the tournament double bet on. 1-0 up with 20 minutes to go and the guy takes his star striker Crespo and the team’s playmaker Riquelme off. Brings on some holding midfielder and fucking Roque Shitty Cruz. 1-0 up lads, what could possibly go wrong?! Then Germany equalize and your two best players are no longer on the field. Oh, you also had to make a sub due to your injured keeper (before the other subs) so you have no subs left. Not that you’d want to bring that young Messi fella on anyway. Just got angry again just thinking about it.

Flim Sunderland

Tomasson looked class in preseason, he’d have been a cracking partner for Shearer if Shearer hadn’t buckled himself. I resent the implication that remembering him makes me old though.

Rafa will lay his hand upon my head and I shall be cured.

Pretty sure you were at all those games too, dickhead. Exactly. Feel you’ve probably seen us win at some point though. Wullie actually got angry with me after one of the games, was pretty harsh I thought. If Rafa stays on I’ll have to make it back over next year.

First three Roeder and then Kinnear. Got to see Bullard’s leg get mangled and was in the paper protesting against Shepherd after the Sheffield Utd game, those were high points. Actually Martins scoring against Wigan was class, was a rocket and I thought it had won us the game.

Was it first ever game and trip to SJP? Bet he's absolutely buzzing like mad. I’m jealous, what an experience for him. Cheers all, that was simply incredible. Was just hoping to see one goal really, got two and the winner right in front of me. The atmosphere was amazing, Strawberry beforehand was great, walking around the stadium was surreal. Wish I could redo it all over again, perfect first match. Ayoze's form, too, what a guy So happy for you man. Proper jealous. Can’t wait for my first trip over one day. I’m raging. My attended games at SJP are... Lost 2-1 to Fulham. Lost 1-0 to Sheffield Utd Lost 2-0 to Blackburn Drew 2-2 with Wigan (who equalized in injury time through Titus Bramble, despite being down to ten men) Been tough watching, I have to say.

Somewhere between this and feeling this is all just another, more elaborate way for us to ultimately get shat upon. Oh it absolutely ends in tears, man. But we've got right now. These are the good old days.

Or we lose and get relegated.

Too much?

Rape these cunts!!

Be class if he really committed to this god angle and went on about it the whole time.
