We gave them GLC for fuck-all because they have no money. Done this weird deal to make up the “value”. I just have no idea how good he is.

Any American guys here have an opinion on Johnny Cardoso? I’ve not noticed him at all before but we’ve sort of bought a share of him as part of a deal with Betis

Fucking hell, can we just burn them to the ground please?

Villa have a pretty sweet draw - all the tougher looking games at home.

There have been a lot of uninspiring results. Seems like the bigger teams were able to field weakened - sometimes hugely weakened - lineups and still take the piss. Chuffed that the mighty Os won though.

O’Neills was our hangout for a while - the women in the house chatted up all the waiters at La Porchetta so we used to get lock-ins and freebies. Halcyon days

I get it, but if they’re a nothing club why do you hate them so much? I don’t hate Man City any more because they really are a nothing club to me now.

I do like the Maid of Muswell. My uncle used to live on Alexandra Park Rd just up from there. Arsenal fan - he was watching the box in his flat when Michael Thomas scored and remembers running up the hill in the park to Ally Pally just jumping and punching the air like Pele with nobody around.

I’m still giggling at Stripey Nigels

Hope so - cheap as chips tbh. My sis lives in Muswell Hill too and we can hit Toffs (amazing fish and chip shop) on the way home.

Yeah, I wasn’t really annoyed it just sounded a bit like what Kaka mentioned above. I’ve never liked any club being called a nothing club. Call them Saaf London Cunts. Millwall supposedly call them Stripey Nigels which is amazing

That game sounds mental

We might be getting an ice hockey season ticket at Ally Pally for the family.

Yet they’ve sold a player for 50M+ and could have sold two more for 60M+. Not to mention Wharton. Can’t remember who said it in this thread but it just sounded a bit off.

That’s just it though - each club has its own crazy sagas that we fixate on and don’t realize - or care - everyone else is doing the same.

Used to be Camden Palace. Remember me and an underage mate signing in a couple of even more underage girls there as a kid

We got fucked around by Neto, sorry, Jorge Mendes. Jumped in to get Gray. Got Odobert without anyone knowing anything about it. So much depends upon specific circumstances - teams, agents, events etc. Not surprising that Parrish fucks people about, he did the same with us and Eze. He’s just doing his job.

Every team has fans who do it, every team has bedwetters and happy clappers. It’s particularly infuriating when it’s your own fans of course. I mean, we’ve spent a ton of money this window and offloaded an incredible amount of dead wood, yet there are still people pissing and moaning. I will say, whoever it was who called Palace a nothing club was a bit off .

Going to give it a go. It’s the Crystal Palace guy, no? He’s been on a couple of podcasts with Flav and been pretty good.

You were definitely improved, although it’s so hard to make those judgements at this level. You had I think four players from last year whereas we only had our goalkeeper back - the rest are either on loan or sold (or a couple injured). Chelsea and City IIRC usually use younger players (like U18s or U19s) while last week you had Trippier and Targett on the pitch. Difficult to compare teams, which is why the new format is good - results don’t matter so much, just playing.

Was gonna say. Has anyone actually done the maths? Surely this isn’t adding up, sales notwithstanding.

Schadenfreude is what makes football go round Yeah I like him well enough but he winds up a lot of people and is wrong a lot. Charlie Eccleshare was right a lot so that balanced out . It’s just a well put-together podcast tbh. Edit: Danny Kelly provides a nice bridge to both my generation and my Dad’s generation, something nearly all podcasts miss.

I mean, the answer is staring you guys in the face.

The thing that changed was that you started actually seeing Arsenal fans being Arsenal fans . We had that for decades.

Everton were awful against us but I’m not at all confident in those three, particularly if Leicester do get a points deduction.
