Miercoles

Watching live that was an ugly goal all around with a signature Joelinton move of eating shit as he kicks the ball and then a scuffed shot from Wissa. I feel a bit more generous on second look though, Joe does well to sort his feet out for the pass and Wissa putting it back across the keeper who had already committed was class, even if he scuffed it a bit.

That press for the second goal when we returned the ball was a bit of the old rat bastard that we miss from the last couple of seasons. Back when he had short hair and a fuck you attitude. I feel like we haven't seen that edge in a long time, which made him so infuriating to play against and so effective on your side.

Was remembering the other day, maybe the game before Leeds, when he scored a header... It made me think back to when he scored that crazy last second diving header against, was it Leicester? To win the game and steer us away from relegation. Then he comes out afterwards and mentions that he's never scored a header in his life before that, even at youth level. I dunno, he was just destined to be a hero here I guess.

Way ahead of you

I guess Miley is ready to come in at CF if there are any issues

I mean 7 in 18 PL games is pretty good regardless. Last I heard 1-in-2 was fucking excellent. I feel like people are forgetting that it's really hard to score goals, plenty of games have none at all, and strikers will always drive you crazy with the things they don't do and the goals they don't score. "He didn't do anything except get an assist in a game we won by 1 goal" - well, like, yeah man, exactly.

Yeah I'm loving this new fire it at the keeper corner strategy. One the other day where we scored when the ball got through everybody and came in low at the keeper who basically shat his pants and flapped at it Beats the old looping set penis to the back post routine by a mile imo

Back in time for the CL final

I hated every part of that penalty except that it went in

You guys are fucking crazy man. This dude is mint. Young player, first year in the league, had to jump straight in and started scoring day one.

Bruno collapsing on the ground was something special, one of the lads had to come pick him up when they were finished celebrating in the corner. Then at the final whistle they showed everyone shaking hands and then just a shot of Bruno laying face down on the pitch, head in his arms. He really fucking lives it, doesn't he?

Least he got to see a good one!

Middle of my work day and the thought crossed my mind lmao

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

They should buzz and bleach him along with Bruno and Joelinton next time they do their lucky treatment.

He has got to cut that hair man.

Table is looking a lot better already! Mad how much it can change week to week this year. Might be chaos right to the end when it comes to European places.

Classic Murphy because he was also key to the first goal, stole the ball high up the field and then involved in the move that eventually scored about three times before it eventually went in. Pretty ugly goal mind you, but you can't discount Murphy's contribution to it.

Eh they always say that. Even with Fedor Emelianenko they were always hyping this fifteen year old younger brother as actually the best of the three. He never ended up having a fight at all, I don't believe. Basically whichever of the brothers hasn't played yet is the best ever until they actually play and then it turns out the good one is actually the good one lol.

Fair enough. I'm more in a trying to keep wanting to be alive frame of mind these days, so if I allow myself to confront the horrors of the world it can get pretty spirally. Particularly those horrors which reside in the parts of life that I do enjoy. So I'll hide from this one, but I'll stop talking shit. There are, of course, innumerable horrors to choose from in every facet of life, so don't worry I'll still be overwhelmed by existential dread, rage and helplessness. Just not at the football, as they say.

Fuck if it was walking distance I might have had a rethink. But still, it was like $2,000 to watch Bolivia vs Iraq so you know, what the fuck. Levi stadium is the closest to me and that area is a bitch to get to in the best of times so it was a pretty easy pass.

Thousands of slaves being killed to build the stadiums in Qatar didn't quite get you there huh? Well, we all have our limits.

Btw there are games being played within an hour or so of my house and I didn't even consider trying to get tickets, which is pretty fucked.

Nah, but I'm also not particularly interested. Seems like the move will be to start watching at the knockout stages.

Then who would come on in the 85th minute?
