Are you fucking stupid? Saved once against Columbia, nations league seminfinal vs Swizerland and against Jorginho in the Euro 2020 shootout. Jorginho the best penalty taker ive seen in my life.

Thats four PK saves by Jordan Pickford. Thats why i’ll always want him in goal.

Was checking through the next set of fixtures and Saw Bayern are playing on Friday the 24th of November. I was thinking "that's interesting, Bayern always seem to play on Fridays." Obviously went to see if there were CL fixtures that upcoming week and sure enough, there were, they'll be playing Wednesday that upcoming week. Smartest club in football.

All these basketball terms. My cousin once asked me if they "did screens" in football. Fuck off.

Just think it's a lazy narrative. Was at my non football watching cousin's house during the 1-4 2010 World Cup game and he goes "oh, those efficient Germans" and I was thinking "they're absolutely tearing us apart IN STYLE" Nothing efficient about it. Efficient is the Spanish one nilling their way to the WC final that year recycling the ball around the half way line.

"German efficiency" I've never found the Germans to be efficient. They smash teams to bits. If there was ever a team that was "efficient", it's the Spanish.

I think Palmer’s a good player but we’ve seen the ball hoofed up to Gordon with two or three players around him, evade them all and then bring the entire team back into the game. I don’t think Palmer has that type of ability. Honestly I’m seething. Under 21 player of the tournament(a tournament, Cole Palmer was his teammate), open play goals, assists, holding his own as well as looking like he genuinely belongs in the Champions League, and on the eye test, Gordon is the better footballer. It’s not even about Gordon getting a well deserved break, it’s about the lad getting a well deserved England call up. Just messed up.

Fucking knew it. Big club bias. Palmer’s ok but Gordon has genuine class. His touch for one thing is up there with the best in the league. Can make something out of nothing and can escape three players with a single body feint. This is a bloody travesty.

I’ve totally changed my mind on The Rest is Football. Thought it was crap at first but I love it now. Some great tales from Gary and Micah. Probably the only place I can stomach Micah. One of Gary’s stories about the 90 World Cup had me quite emotional, not gonna lie. John Obi Mikel has a podcast now and it’s pretty good. Looks studio backed as he had Terry and Lampard as his first guests so he’ll probably be getting some more big names in soon.

Just saw this mad stat - Despite featuring 53 times that season, Rodri was an unsued sub in the 21 Champions League final.

Gusto’s pretty good. Not as good as James but like how Tino is to Trippier

They won’t. Just raise their game for the big guys. Did the same against Arsenal and Liverpool.

Was thinking the whole game “what does he do?”

Gordon >

What a save by Sanchez!

Thank fuck for that. Fuck off refs.

Well and truly.

They were both holding each other. Ruining a perfectly good game.

What?

Five yellows over the course of however many games equalling a suspension is such a stupid rule.

I don’t think I’ve heard a better impression.

Looking like Yaya Toure tonight.

We can be here all fucking night, it was never going in.

I am. If they win and we beat Milan, we get Europa.
