Betis performance levels fell off a cliff 2nd half. Can’t keep up with Chelsea, far poorer bench options

UEFA carried on with the 1 club 1 city rule for the first 2 or 3 years (until Everton appealed). It was the same competition, with a different name, cup and governing body. UEFA wanted to wipe the previous version from history.

Fairs Cup: * UEFA don’t list it as it was a FIFA organised competition. * UEFA took it over as it was overshadowing The Cup Winners Cup and had better sides in it. * Don Revie commented that it was almost as hard to win as The European Cup as only League winners entered the top competition whereas the strong leagues each had several teams in The Fairs Cup. * UEFA kept the 1 club 1 city rule until 1976 (?) when Everton complained that they’d again missed out to Liverpool. Don’t let anyone try and belittle it, it was a really big deal. Ujpest Dozsa were serious contenders in The European Cup in the next few years, pretty sure they got to the SF. We were firm underdogs to beat them. Given we were 2 down in the final at HT in the return leg it’s even more remarkable that we beat them.

Leaving all speculation/ motive aside; how did he get his car there in the 1st place has to be a major question. Thoughts are with all the victims. It’ll be interesting to see what details come out.

Terrible; ffs people.

Tonali & Tino did well in a team generally not at it. I didn’t mention our left as Gordon had a game to forget over there. Murphy looked to me that he didn’t have options, was in a slightly unfamiliar role and didn’t have the ability to adapt (that time he ran across the pitch in the 1st half about 25 yards out before losing being a good example). Barnes failed to give him options by being tucked inside too often and Isak just wasn’t fit and didn’t have his usual movement to give Murphy a target. We absolutely need an upgrade but, for the money we’d get I’d be happy to keep him. I was far more concerned about Gordon’s performance tbh.

He’s had a largely cracking season. From Howe downwards we were all over the place yesterday. We knew how Everton would set up and can only assume thought they’d be on the beach. TBF, I certainly thought that, it was soon apparent that they weren’t.

They’re better off getting top dollar for Bellingham now before he embarrasses himself in the Premier League. He brings very little to that Sunderland side.

We need Real Madrid/ Bayern Munich away. Had enough of Barca. Ajax at home would be good. Avoid Celtic, could get messy home or away. Let’s get drawn against some famous names we’ve not faced before.

There were far too many young, mouthy, scally, Everton fans after the match asking for trouble. Also saw a father laughing at his 2 young daughters mouthing off. There were some canny Scousers in The Newcastle Arms beforehand but they really do have some complete arseholes.

First domestic trophy in 70 years and Champs League qualification. Triumph of a season. Fine margins and all that; come on.

Couldn’t fathom his tactical changes 2nd half.

We won really 🤓

We were honking today. Incredibly lucky.

Hearing the wind has affected today’s plans?

They’re really not equipped for the big league and I can’t see how they can compete. I’ve a good few good mates who support them so I’m happy for them. They absolutely rode their luck today and against Coventry. Sheff U weren’t the same once Hamer went off and fell off a cliff once they conceded.

Immigrants taking their jobs no doubt. Brexit was supposed to stop all this, UKIP and Tommy forever. FTMs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Get it posted on RTG and see how long before it’s deleted. They’re busy blowing smoke up their own arses at how good they were.

Just get on with it.

We’ll win on Sunday. Villa will thump Man U, they’re absolute cannon fodder to Villa’s strengths. City will get something at Fulham. I fancy Chelsea to beat Forest but that could be a very nervous game for both teams. Forest will sit back, Chelsea will have loads of possession and fanny around. At some point if it’s goalless one of them will need to roll the dice.

Keep laughing at the thought of being an Arsenal fan this morning. They must be feeling a bit like Frank Grimes; how wonderful.

Awful game, complete mystery how either managed to find a way to get to final. Man U then manage to lose to a team 17th in league who are known to blow up. It’s an unmitigated mess; they had to win last night.

That’s pretty funny all round.

Where’d Bale buy his mullet from?
