I’m going to presume that as soon as the football starts I’ll be all in, but it’s a weird feeling really liking this England set-up but not feeling any warmth towards the World Cup. Trump is unbearable and I do wonder what exactly ICE will be up to throughout. Also if Kash Patel is somehow still in position I have very little confidence in the Feds’ preparation for actual terrorist threats etc.

“I have too much respect for Barcelona and the people who work there.” Yes Lewa, you absolutely do. Way too much.

Was gonna say. I can think of tons

I think you greatly overestimate how much I give the slightest shit about anything Sunderland do

I’m getting old, in my head I had changed 1985 to Sunderland beating Norwich.

If Sesko’s shot had gone in rather than hitting the bar it feels like it would have been significantly worse tbf.

Just checking the score from time to time, didn’t realize neither of them were playing.

Your reminder that this wasn’t even given as a foul last year: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/XKkVF1639W

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd0krvpmpzlo Absolutely done with all this.

I get what you’re saying but Arsenal really is the only one that matters. I’ve never really known a Chelsea fan, but I’ve played with a few Hammers in Essex and East London. Arsenal though, we grew up together. Well we grew up, they got older. Losing to Chelsea is annoying, losing to West Ham is embarrassing, losing to Arsenal is a fucking disaster.

I hate playing them lot. Now imagine having to do that against a Chelsea equivalent and a Wedt Ham equivalent too, at least twice a year each. Arsenal is the only one that really matters but the others hurt too.

Also we’ve played this entire season without Caicedo, Palmer and Delap.

You can add this cunt to the list. Maresca. My heart fucking bleeds:

The VAR conundrum.

Part of the War effort, innit?

Not saying it won’t be a shit game, just saying stop whinging about it. And it might not. Maybe.

Complaints about how dull/bad/meaningless the teams involved in a given live PL game are. We all know the drill and it’s barely changed for decades. Every team has to get featured a certain amount of times, and there’s a reasonable chance that the TV companies will want to put less popular teams together in order to “get them out of the way”. Complaining that, say, Wolves v Brentford is on a particular day that loads of people might be watching is pretty disrepectful towards fans of those teams too, and actually personally I’d far rather see Wolves v Brentford than Liverpool v Brentford where we have to tolerate the inevitable one-sided analysis and commentary and less inevitably one-sided match. The Cups are different. All-PL clashes should be banned from TV until the latter stages, and plucky underdogs should only be featured when they’re at home. Everything else should be moaned about. Just…for the love of God, stop whinging about dull-looking PL games. We get it. And you’re in the wrong.

What are the odds that it would be such a strong fit for both clubs?

Article from iNews on the pricing:

I suspect very strongly that 14-16pts will not be enough to see you in the top 8. 16pts might, if you're lucky. Apparently the top 8 play virtually none of each other in the next couple of games - somebody mentioned I think Inter play Arsenal and that might be it (citation needed). I'd expect all the teams on 13pts to get at least 16 - just win the home game...apart from PSG. That probably leaves three spots. Inter play Arsenal but then Dortmund, so that could be tricky, but Dortmund themselves have 11pts and play us this coming week. That helps you out, but if we both beat Dortmund that makes life harder for you. Real Madrid are at home to Monaco and away to Benfica. I'd expect them to get at least 3 pts from that, crisis or no crisis. That would leave them on 15pts. Atleti have an awkward trip to Galatasaray but then have Bodo/Glimt at home. Again, fully expect them to get at least 3 points from that. 15pts. Liverpool are away to Marseille and home to Qarabag. Again, surely that's at least 3pts. 15pts. Chelsea, Sporting Lisbon and Barca are also on 10pts. Barca have Sparta Prague away and Copenhagen at home, although your goal difference is great. 14pts will not be enough. I think we both have to win both our games to have a chance, and even if you win both of yours you need a few results to go your way. Having the PSG away game last will help, but I suspect that even if they win in Portugal they will need a point in the last game to make sure.

It was slightly surprising given they’d been pretty solidly pro-Liverpool up to then. Fair play though.

Not if it gives them a bye in the CL…which this one might just do.

Commentary on the radio was pretty unanimous that it shouldn’t have been a penalty.

It actually blows my mind that the last post in here was on November 11th. I just popped in to check how your European campaign was going.
