Would be very impressive to win 2-2 in a game with no penalty shoot out

I get the annoyance at Micah Richards totally, his analysis is pretty poor but I have moderately enjoyed rest is football mainly for the first hand stories from Linekar, Shearer and Richards, but yes can be a slog. However todays episode with Thierry Henry I really really recommend cos Henry talks really openly about his mental health during playing (he realised he was always looking for approval from his dad he never could get when he really needed it), he comes accross as incredibly self aware of himself in a way few are. Also found his other stuff really good. Don't really hear many interviews with players unguarded etc about it and have to slightly credit Richards for it cos it's clear he did it cos they're friends.

Young colleague at work fell in love with football through watching the lionesses, and is slowly getting more involved in watching the game more widely. the idea that people would prefer analysis from men rather than women would be just the thing to drive her right away. There are good and bad pundits(and god knows there are plenty of them), everything else is just nonsense. Some of the female pundits have been bad, and i do understand ex players getting a bit annoyed at pundits not playing at that level, but there is a range of different punditry and analysis that can be delivered. As mentioned Emma Hayes was an excellent pundit when she's not managing, would like to see more of her.

I don't want to fucking see baconface on this forum again jesus

I'm going to regret this because it will be all we hear about for weeks to come, but var gods, please disallow another onside Liverpool goal this weekend for the lols

You don't need to list female comedians to argue women can be funny ffs, it's not about that, people who think that clearly don't think of women as actual people and will this dismiss anything they say as anything.

Me and this thread

Also wtf is with this and a few others using "made 100% of successfull tackles" I mean 100% of my successfull tackles are successful, unfortnately i have made 0 of them.

So I, a glutton for punishment, put on the guardian's football weekly podcast on this for my drive home for work with Phillippe Auclaire. Now i have a lot more sympathy for their pov on our 'glorious' ownership than a lot on here (but am not going to have the joy of watching us taken away just yet even if I have issues), but anyway on comes Auclaire and i'm bracing for lots of vitriol at the fans for being at fault for diminishing the apparently otherwise saintly world of football, and then what actually infuriates me, when talking about surprising performances from players of ours who are playing above themselves he mentions he was shocked to see Schar play well implying he has largely seen Schar as a comical bad defender. How many fucking years does this guy have to be an absolute rock before any single fucking pundit recognizes him? If we were a Manchester club or Liverpool he would be being fucking touted for the ballon d'or by now

He's won a champions league as manager, and I know Roberto Di Matteo has too but he is better than that. He maybe had a very beneficial setup at Barca, and wouldn't shock me if he could never quite replicate that he's no mug, but was strange. PSG are a clownshow who churn through good managers

yep the 4-2-4 seemed what you'd do against a team you expect to roll over, and I would think that would be a bit presumptuous against most teams that have qualified for the champions league tbh. Would expect that naivite more from a new coach like Howe than someone with his experience...

Tripps got Mbappe's shirt for his kid hah

What a night for the lad

Pope 10 Burn 10 Schar 10 Lascelles 10 Trippier 10 Longstaff 10 Bruno 10 Tonali 10 Miggy 10 Isak 10 (ok this one maybe bit of a stretch) Gordon 10 (edit: lol beaten to it)
