A good point, shows our progress. Tbf to Leeds though they matched us first half yesterday imo, I was fairly impressed. Our 2nd half dominance was probably a combination of us pushing for the win and them prioritising not leaving with nowt, but first half I did think Leeds tried to have a go.

It annoys the fuck out of me like. Chelsea started all of this crazy spending when the Russian came in, largely kept at it, made a mockery of the loan system, got bailed out (again) and now they're hoovering up players we might want at way above the going rate. Not once have they had to face the consequences of their spending, other than the transfer ban when they already had a world class squad sitting there.

Jesus, 72 points in 36 games. Assuming a win and a draw in an additional 2 that would be 76 over 38 games. Just checked and 76 points was enough to win the fucking league ffs in 6 of the 27 seasons (22%) since the PL became a 20 team league

Guardiola is a classy operator. Arteta can piss off after his utterly moronic Bruce comments.

That is the most spectacular OG brace I've ever seen

Oh my fucking god

Unreal.

Really sad news. When I was a kid there were regular debates in the media about who the best of all time was between him and Maradona, and the consensus was that Pele was better and for longer. By all accounts an absolute trailblazer and a great human being, who knows what the game would have been like without him. RIP.

Given spoke to the press about 4 or 5 transfer windows in a row, rightly saying the squad needed strengthening if we were to progress. It fell on deaf ears and he eventually got fed up with it. Never blamed him for leaving whatsoever, he was saying what we were all thinking.

great reference

Just shows how many fans hear/see a lazy soundbite on Talksport/Sky/The Sun/whatever, think "That'll do" then spout it as their own very loud opinion.

Cheers Eddie, sent these to family earlier this month and would have looked a right mug if we got smashed today

Antonio Gonte

Him and Eric Dier always seemed canny on Gogglebox. I think some people reach a point where they're pretty content with their lot and have achieved more than they set out to achieve, especially if their youth was very humble and/or challenging. If you take your foot off the gas at an elite level then you'll go downhill quickly. Agree there could also be stuff come out about his mental health or that he's fallen out of love with the game. I do think it's a shame as he was a silky, effective player who was fun to watch, and his decline has been drastic.

This is definitely your least funny recurring gag.

Aye noticed this Re the atmosphere I was near the back of the Gallowgate and there were plenty trying to get songs going back there but mostly they didn't take off much. Was a few bursts where the crowd were a bit radge/loud, but very flat overall. Agree it was probs down to a lot of kids and the action on the pitch not being particularly inspiring. What @Kid Icarus said about people being embarrassed to join in too much is probably the case, I used to be a bit like this until I went to more away games where you're singing for 90 minutes, so I do generally join in with quite a bit at home as well now. No real solution to the issue, cup games will always be a different crowd.

League Cup final is on my 39th birthday. Bruno #39. Bruno's getting the winner in the final.

Looks pure happy as Larry being home in the team shot

same here, massively. And all 3 categories went down to the wire on the last day.

Aye cheers for organising @Magpie, much appreciated. I was in 2 other (money) competitions with mates and won them both. There is no additional relevance here, I am just using a very rare opportunity in my life to boast about something. Me and you predicting the winners, runners up and top scorer ain't bad going like that's what won me the other 2, raking in the bonus points. On the scores I was fairly average.

Was quite impressed with Jaidon Anthony for them, impossible to assess his end product tonight but he looked really skillful and quite intelligent. Appreciated the "wewww who the fuck's that like?!" from the lad behind me after one nice piece of skill Looked him up after and he's from Hackney and was in the Arsenal system for 10 years before Bournemouth, which adds up.

Performance wasn't terrible but we did look sloppy like we've not played for a month. Satisfying that we won regardless, hopefully the performances follow soon.

My first one for ages as well. Not the best game but absolutely loved being back Happy vibes are back at last.

He sounds like a cleaning product. No thanks PSV, you're alright.

Fuckin hate a new page lol
