Kid Icarus

Just realised our results are identical (order aside) to our first 5 matches in 22/23. 1 win, 1 loss, 3 draws.

I love him tbh. I think he's absolutely class and a really reassuring presence. I'd even say his major weakness is a bit overblown these days.

Are those both jokes?

If everyone could stop trying to be TBG, that would be class.

We very famously missed out on loads of our first, second, and third choice targets. That's not really controversial like.

Spineless in every single away match

If there's one result that's not worth twisting your tits over as being indicative of our season, it's Bournemouth away and arguably Bournemouth at home. Will take that result all day long right now, and from what I saw (the last 20 minutes and following the first 75 on the not particularly well-known for its sunshine and rainbows outlook N-O match thread) there was nothing that I was really concerned by, particularly as they're in good form, a very good team, and they're our bogey team that play well against us and we usually play poorly against. Keeping 4 fairly comfortable clean sheets out of 5 while our new look attack finds its feet is a great foundation for us to go on and have a successful season, particularly when it's been done while rotating (which was our undoing in 23/24) Good result for me and it sounds like the performance was decent and we were denied a stonewall pen as well.

Lock your compulsions

Trying out a new response format, bear with me.

Just discovered HMRC of Football on TikTok who looks at stories footballers tell on podcasts (Usually Under the Cosh or similar) and investigates whether they're true or not. Turns out all footballers and ex-footballers are pure liars.

Many such cases

It was in memory bank that Man United, regardless how shit they are, never lose to Chelsea at home. Just checked and it and yeah, they haven't won there in the league since 2013.

Hahaha unlucky ye cabbage patch cunt

...it's supposed to be automated. Isn't it? ISN'T IT?

What the fuck. Just again so they're side by side

If Man United are going to beat anyone (Liverpool aside) I'm glad it's Chelsea.

Something's not right here like.

Yeah, from the sleeve to the shoulder is supposed to be a part of the body you can score with. Who was it that was offside on that basis either last week or the week before?

Hooooold on a fucking second. There was a sleeve that was offside only a couple of weeks ago wasn't there?

I don't think you're saying anything I disagree with like. The only difference is that for me it was all wishful thinking with hindsight because now we know that the club buckled, to use your word for it.

Would have loved Bowen here for a bit of a swansong to his career like, he's been such a cracking player over the years.

They proved that they can go for both and we'll accept it. Hindsight only really shows that it was wishful thinking for it to have gone any other way than it did. The club couldn't have been in a stronger position considering the circumstances, couldn't have had more motivation to not sell to Liverpool and still did it.

Mutu was very likely stitched up tbf. You only need to see the videos of Chiesa and Barkley to see how much of a non-issue alleged recreational, non-PED drug use can be seen as if it suits.

Mad how little it's spoken about that he was an unbelievable waste of money
