Yeah they're a joke really. Top of the Bundesliga is packed full of these naff clubs while the bigger clubs flounder.

Yeah that's fake as fuck

Woo great.

Yeah it's brilliant. Kapadia is doing a Q&A showing of it next Wednesday at the Tyneside.

Qatar aren't bad. You can tell they've all played together for years.

Nacho Gonzalez?

back to the ครัว you go

The sport has completely jumped the shark with VAR like. The whole thing is a fucking nonsense as far as I'm concerned.

The thing is even Ashley must realise he's another shitty gamble away from ending up with a permanent Championship club worth half what it is now and no global PL exposure for his brand. That would be the only thing that would make me think he'd be happy to scoop 350 mill upfront and move on.

The more it's played out in public, and with them issuing comments, the less likely this is to happen.

Clearly fake.

More timewasters, oh well

We've been trolled by Mido

Smells like bullshit

Was a great trip all round this. Had the weird experience of going down with a work colleague and finding out on the way back he's a poster on here with 10k+ posts

I think i'll be out for a drink straight afterwards if we're doing that again? but probably not later on as the lass has taken the day off and i'm under the thumb.

That was one of the worst games of football I've seen in years

All joking aside, I really struggle to deal with the success of English clubs in Europe. The whole thing is an unrelenting reminder of the fact that we are run into the ground by the worst human being in the world, who actively exploits the collective success of these other clubs (through the TV revenue) by creaming off the top and putting nothing back in. Whether it's by doing it the right way like Spurs have done, or through financial doping via Man City, both of these examples of success are the result of the explosion of the Premier League and the opportunity that presents either to savvy operators like Levy or by actual nation states seeking international legitimacy. The way the Premier League is now is basically an open goal for any decent sized and supported club to run at and stick it in the net. Even fucking Leicester won the league through an ownership that has the best interests of the club at heart. It's jealousy on one part, but also just real frustration and depression at the way we are operated in this world of bountiful opportunity. The fact that Sissoko and Wijnaldum will be playing off against each other in the final is a footnote which kinda punctuates this entire point.

It's depressing because in most people's recent memory Spurs couldn't even finish above us. The trajectory of both clubs is vile.

Same. Euroschadenfreude are an awful team to follow. My soul can't take a Spurs winner

Oof that feels like a game changing moment

The way in which momentum seems to decide games these days is incredible. I'm growing weirdly nostalgic for the way sides used to be able to just shut down a tie. Now they just lose the plot and fold like a pack of cards.

Ah fuck this.
