Football should be held in football stadiums. I get the world cup is a different animal, and that's fine, but regular standard football matches need to be held in purpose-built MLS stadiums. If the US Soccer organizers have any say, they should only be hosting those matches in typically loud, strong and loyal US soccer home bases - Portland, Seattle (gets NFL stadium treatment*), Columbus, Orlando, etc. -- fuckin SoFI stadium. 

Seattle is tight to the pitch. Level 300 (behind and above the shot) is almost Level 7 though.

Valentino, Livramento,
You're lifting the Carabao Cup
While I lie teary on the hallowed turf
And come to think of it
I tried to have you misled
My goals, my assists, my everything
And wanting to get in your head

I never got a kick anyway
No, you didn't let me have a shot anyway
You pocketed me all game anyway
I'm so happy we're not playing you again

Yeah, I am

Chelsea signing 2 teenagers for 60+ million from Sporting.

 

60 fucking million and only in the Europa Conference. 

Didn't you see the news today about the Women's game being worth 1.8bn now? Chelsea will be claiming their team is 1.7bn of that when they sell another percentage of it to themselves. Last years 20m sale on a 200m valuation is chump change.

Takes me back to winning the Championship under Rafa. Just those moments of pure emotion that will stick with you forever. 

That was a great day, but I think closest for me was listening to the radio with my dad when we were away at Grimsby in '93. I was in the Leazes under the construction and Lindisfarne a few days later - much easier to win the mail in ballot then - but the pure eruption of emotion was that Tuesday night.

To go along with the others - but I don't think anyone was taking video at any point - our turn out in Seattle including Jon who is out here on a business trip from back home this week. Liverpool lot were decent folk and some stayed to talk, ManU fans two years ago cleared out at full time and didn't even bother staying for their ceremony.

So happy we got that second, not just for the cushion, but seeing the ball hit the net in front of us, the players celebrating with us - class.

I mean, Dan Burn, but Isak on the hoarding is pure iconic.

No silverware since the early '60's, so many kicks in the teeth, so decided to not get too hung up on the outcome but just enjoy the day.

 

Then, we got a penalty after 30 seconds, took the lead and all that went oot the window. 😃

If they are like a wounded rabid dog after Tuesday, fine, let's go out like Atticus Finch and shoot them cold between the eyes.

What the f am I reading? But admins, please mark page 995 as classic.

"Now that's a proper Falon D'flor nominee" one of the comments. 

When I was 7, I told a police officer to fuck off, while he was walking past my mate's house. He walked me home and I got no tea. Never did it in ear shot again

Just add a tax on those wanting to spend. £100m sponsor? That's fine. £5m goes to grass roots and £5m goes to EFL clubs. £90m to the club. £1m PL admin fee. Let the whole pyramid vote on it.

You've just magiced out of thin air 1m. Isn't that the crux of the charges against City?

I wonder if Eddie will protect the players after this, or perhaps shoulder some of the blame himself. You would think there will and should be changes for Forest, next week.

He has to take the blame for the tactics at kick off. We just stood off them, let them build confidence, and never tried to get at them. At least rattle them a bit and see if they make the same mistakes they have for other teams.

Gas oven went out last night, so at least I've got the misery of getting my wallet out to fix it to take the edge off this weekend  

Is Tuesday's game as originally scheduled, or was it moved by the police etc? I really don't like when they do the draw before all the originally scheduled games have played. Do it before the first game or the round or wait until after the last.

Villa’s new Dutch lad been a handful. 
 

Why'd they leave him out of the CL squad and include Rashford? 

Steve Nicholl on ESPN is giving me a Still Game rant vibes

If anything, hopefully this means Eales is doing well with his treatment and recovery. Has there been any previous statement / interview about that?

Some of them think he'll tear up the Prem and they'll sell him for £60 million...seriously. 

Generational Talent Jack Clarke scored today, and the Jimmy Hill kick off delay special didn't phase him. That's the quality of their player development.

More like Passengers, where another team wakes us up to get their end away solve their PSR issue.

They also sold their women's team didn't they?

IIRC only 10% of it - for 20m - so valuing it at 200m, which is infinitely beyond ridiculous even for the best team since they had no stadium ownership etc.

None of that wasting money on editing videos for Newcastle United, PSR champions 

Probably only paying Serena on match days too.

(/s maybe she does freelance other days)

Looks like a bad double at a Pontins talent show.

Vlachodimos will be on speed dial for Mitchell in the last week of June in case anyone rings us wanting a PSR fiddle type deal. Maybe no other clubs will ring us for that reason 😅

In a bind? Up the creek? If it's a PSR fiddle you seek, it's the Greek! It's the Greek!
