wormy

In contrast to the Trips/BDB combo of the last couple of years, we've basically swapped the flanks over where Tino at RB should be ready with the no-nonsense defence while this absolute star can help us progress from the back. Getting ahead of myself but they could be perfectly complimentary to each other for both us and England for the next decade.

Honestly thought he was about to chalk it off when he blew that whistle. Barely celebrated as I figured they'd find something.

It's one thing for the ref to not see it. It was out of his eye line tbf. For VAR to review it and not say a damn thing is entirely different, though. Absolutely fucking useless tosser, whoever is in their cosy little booth checking on their FPL this week.

I wish they'd notice Hall's availability a bit more sometimes. Was shouting to absolutely no one when Bruno became obsessed with laying the ball back off to Big Joe down the right when Hall had acres of space just outside the middle of the box. The lad can hit it. Give him more chances to do so. Not a bad half all in all. One shit set piece and an absolute dogshit set of officials going against us.

This sport is pure AIDS tbh

This fucking cunt. Was talking like Burn had pulled out a gun to commit that professional foul. Tino gets a busted lip from an elbow to the face and 'these things happen'.

Whatever absolute wankshaft I'm needing to listen to on my river hasn't stopped sucking him off since he blew the whistle on that Burn foul.

Fingers crossed by the time we do finally get Jose we'll have Rafa in the DoF hotseat by then to ensure absolutely nothing goes wrong and everyone works together harmoniously.

Their striker seems quite good. Hope Eddie has done his homework and has a plan on how to shackle him.

New here, pal?

Just discovered that Ange is the oldest manager in the league at 59 years old. Never would've guessed that.

Goodness. So emotional.

Well you tried, you utter little bitch. And that's all you can do.

This ref is fucking cucked. Absolute pussy.

This ref gonna stop having a little chat with their lovely little boys and finally punish them?

Using initials for players with Vs and Ds in their name. VDV will always be van de Vaart. Van de ven can piss off. I still don't even accept Van Dyk as VVD.

If you go in to the individual tickets then hit the three dots top right, the bottom of the resulting menu should include an option to archive or delete it.

God damnit why do I want this.

Of all of our issues you think sacrificing Trips and keeping Elliot Anderson would've made a difference?

I heard Tosin asked us to beat Chelsea's offer by just £1 and Eddie forcibly restrained Paul Mitchell with handcuffs. I believe witnesses called it worrying.

Exactly. Any fans booing the performance yesterday has the right to do so, as much as other fans have the right to state how fucking dumb said booing is. I believe they call that the circle of life or something.

Yup. Which I think is why expectation is going to knock our atmosphere more than the average club. You can feel the tension so often when we're not either slaughtering the opposition or feeling aggrieved about something. Not to get all Pards-like but I do think that has a knock-on effect on the players. You can feel the nervousness. And then when the groans start coming.. Those groans aren't from the 'day trippers', are they? But I would also agree thay the general state of things is massively overplayed. For better or worse, that's just football now. Seems most clubs' fans are pining for the good old days when it comes to atmosphere.

It couldn't have summed up the double header of a weekend I was in for more. I was instantly fuming from kick off.

Gonna regret poking my head in here but I'm surprised anyone would continue with the 'new members' argument for shit atmosphere. I'm not a frequent attender due to distance but I'd been to more than enough matches with shit atmosphere before the takeover and ticketing changes. Feels like proper revisionism just for the sake of continuing to complain about the changes. Havent they reduced the member allocation substantially to allow for more general sale this season? Why has that not helped if all these diehards are waiting to snap them up when the 10am queue opens? A not-insignificant number of our fans have had a habit of only reacting to what was happening on the pitch for a while imo. Hell, I know it's entirely anecdotal but I still get PTSD from the old fuck I was sat next to for the Benfica second leg who started whinging 'I hate that; sing when you're winning' when the crowd tried to drum up a pre-match atmosphere. nearly 15 fucking years ago and it still rankles me. I'd immediately assumed post-takeover it would only get worse as expectations rise and people feel that we 'should' be getting points over certain teams that we're clearly not that far ahead of yet.

Not exactly the same but didn't similar happen under Sir Bobby where the format changed the season after we got in the CL? Battled our way through the first group stage only to end up in a second group stage in what was the last season before that was scrapped?
