He, actually, googled Hoop, the daft cunt

Played against him at East Hartford. I was representing The Dudley Hotel 😂 He was a firefighter, iirc, for a while. Last I heard he'd moved to Sweden with his Swedish wife. Unless I dreamt that.

Hark at Gok Wan here

Totally. I didn't the entire 7mins and it, the behaviour, didn't get any better.

Obviously the access price point is front and centre for ordinary people BUT the real issue, eating away at the very heart of the sport, is the inherent corruption and inequality baked in now that mirrors life itself. @gbandit is, of course, correct. Capitalism is eating itself but folk don't want to hear about his "capitalism" or, indeed, even my "working class". They don't want to hear about politics "in sport" either. Despite the fact the rich and wealthy run everything, tax the rainwater we drink and the air we breathe. Power to the people 🙋

Woltemade sporting it for a German '74 homage

They didn't concede one, iirc

Missed this. Very true. There's a festering malaise being nurtured amongst our population. Also things are and do feel shit for many. Football used to be about working class escapism but now it's rigged life life itself.

Started watching it but the stream, if I had one 😉, wasn't grafting. Sacked it off for Adolescence Kept an eye on the score tho but. Both MrsG & I suitably buoyed by a PSG equaliser. Penultimate episode of Adolescence ended just as the penalties were starting so we flicked over. Obviously very entertaining stuff. No idea who the commentator was but he was spewing the usual arse licking stuff about Arsenal. I got up to make a brew and left her to it He goes "you have to take your heart out to the Arsenal players...." As I left the room...."no you don't" Then I heard "....and you have to take your heart out to Mikel Arteta..." She goes "not here, mate" Then "and you have to your heart out to all the Arsenal fans who....." Honestly, all you could hear of us both, dramatically, guffawing in separate rooms 😂😂 That's why I married her 😍

As soon as you went near him he'd have thrown himself on the floor claiming a penalty

I'm old enough to remember jumpers for goalposts

They've put more of their own money into the club than that old, racist fraud Hall ever did, tbf. 😉

😂😂😂😂😂

Some serious "that beautiful lass I fell in love with has binned me off, I've spent all night crying into my pillow but have woke up this morning and realised I never liked her anyway" vibes from some on here. Kids a great player. Hope he has a lovely summer and stays for next year. Keep his bromance with Lewis cooking.

Posted after West Ham about Ross Wilson cuddling upto Diouf after the match. Don't be surprised if we have a nibble. If nothing else, I checked his wiki and he fits the Top Dogs pedigree..... "West Ham United On 15 July 2025, Diouf signed for Premier League club West Ham United on a long-term contract for a fee of £19m.[9][10] On 16 August 2025, he made his competitive debut, in a 3–0 loss to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light."

Every club is a stepping stone to Real, Barca, Bayern, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Man U and Chelsea. A few for the kudos, all of them for the money. Anyone questioning their club being a stepping stone to those is delusional.

😂

I haven't seen many people factoring in his illness, mid season. I appreciate the number of games... "so did Villa" booooohooo. The Isak saga. The signings. The schedule etc etc, have all been dismissed as irrelevant now. Even turned around as all his fault anyway but the bloke was really ill. Really ill.

Not the first time we've witnessed Makem revisionism, tbf. It's a football fan thing anyway but they're, definitely, bipolar. Not that I pay them too much attention BUT were they not absolutely shit until they sussed out Speakman (?) wasn't all that?? Fwiw I've got a lot of respect for Reggie and the Gang. Obviously it's a shame it's them but promoted clubs giving it a go is good for the league. I also think they'll be fine next year.

Probably would, tbf

Elliott Anderson says "hi"
