Miercoles

can you imagine someone talking over Eddie?

It's sure been a sweet feeling as my creeping dread that Isak will always be an injury player shifts smoothly into the warm glow of schadenfreude.

Bruno's was a stonewall penalty on the replay. He got held around the waist by two defenders at the same time ffs

That's wild! I miss the old pro evo so much. Tragic example of a game that got worse every year and eventually died. Fond memories of having both Sneijder and Smajnel in my master league team

Yeah I had no idea what I was getting into when I started supporting Newcastle, just liked playing as Shearer in Pro Evo. Shearer had retired by the time I could actually watch games in the US of course. So instead I got to see Ben Arfa amongst about 15 years of shit. Again no idea why I kept with it, except that the team really gets under your skin, there's always something crazy going on, and this is one of the best message boards out there as well. It's been a fucking blast since Eddie took over though.

That juggle was lovely, and his backheel 1-2 with Gordon for the second goal was fantastic. This guy is great man.

Oh shit we're actually playing a game. That international break felt like a fucking year.

Hard to say, there are lots of rich idiots out there. However, it is definitely a possibility that we will see empty stadiums as it is incredibly unwise for anyone who does not present as a white Christian to travel in America at the moment. I wish that was hyperbole but it is really not. The government is snatching people off the street based on appearance, no warrant or process involved, and then the record keeping as far as who gets taken where after being snatched is let's say not great. The supreme court just confirmed the government's right to detain people based on race or appearance as well, so that's looking good. So, if you're from Morocco or whatever traveling to see a world cup game, you are taking a legitimate risk of being indefinitely detained without cause or any legal recourse to seek release. We'll see whether that actually gets in the way of world cup fever, but it certainly could.

Yeah I live near one of the stadiums so I was planning to go to a game, but tickets for a random group game were around $2000 so fuuuuck that.

Yeah it's dumb, plus it looks like he's firing a fucking five foot long musket. Good thing he has his hair tied back or else he'd get some powder burns on it. Really though I'm happy to put up with it if it means he's scoring, we all know athletes are retarder anyway.

It's wild how they just seem to keep hiring the same four or five guys who have all fucked up their last three jobs too. It's the same in NFL and MLB too so maybe that's just sports. Then I look at the managers in my office and I think maybe that's just executive decision making.

Me too, I have fully moved on lol.

That was the penalty of an absolute psychopath

Love that "a record this season" lmao. Reminds me of that UFC post fight interview where Tito Ortiz called the winner "one of the best middleweights... Of the night"

I think Wissa would have been the starter if he was fit, but by the time he gets back it may be too late for that shit. I'm fully onboard with the zvei meter man

His strike for that first goal just gets more incredible every time you look at it. Insane to hit a volley that clean on the run, puts his laces through it and fires that thing dead straight and level. Bonkers. If it had gone straight in it'd be an all time compilation goal for sure, what a fucking clean hit.

Great assist.

Un fucking believable

That sounds fucking grim like. Do you suppose they took his passport?

Eh, "under control" so are drugs. The key lies in the difficulty of maintaining control. If people could maintain control, gambling would not be the industry that it is today.

Thought that was brilliant because Gomes was shading towards the keeper in anticipation of trying to cut that off or pressure pope, it was starting to look really sketchy and then he just changed direction and left us all in the dust lol.

I wonder if his back hurts from carrying Isak for the last two years

Would absolutely love it if Murphy has another 10+ assists to this guy and it turns out it was Murph's service all along instead of Isak being any good

My wife wants to fly a US flag outside our house, she's an optimist, and I keep hiding it in the garage. There is no fucking way I want people in the neighborhood to think I'm the kind of guy who puts up a flag.

I mean the men's team had four keepers in the fucking match day squad not that long ago.
