Kid Icarus

Chargrilled chicken, streaky bacon, rocket, smoked chipotle mayo in a toasted ciabatta. My eyes were rolling into the back of my head like a shark in rapture.

I already have enough takeaway teases in my life without you getting involved. I've already had a massive sandwich and will have some soup and wine (separately) later.

Newcastle United and taking out their early season frustrations on the city of Sheffield with 8-0 thrashings. Name a better duo. Crazy but thoroughly enjoyable game. Totally ruthless and Sheff United barely played like a competitive Championship team, to be brutally honest. It felt like our 7th and 8th came when we'd actually stopped proactively trying to score all that much. Pope: 7 Trippier: 10 Schar: 8.5 Botman: 9 Burn: 9 Bruno: 8.5 Anderson: 8.5 Longstaff: 8.5 Almiron: 8 Wilson: 8 Gordon: 10 Probably some harsh marks there, but unless I gave Trippier and Gordon 11s or 12s the scale would have been out. Also:

We've had worse halves

Chelsea being shit will never get old

The North London Derby is always so good because it's the battle of the bottlers tbh, there's something in the water in North London.

100% pen like

Great volley

Thought exactly the same. I still remember the numerous complaints about Willock 'half arsing blocks' against Wolves and Man City a year ago.

Palace 1-1 Fulham Luton 1-2 Wolves Man City 4-0 Forest Brentford 2-1 Everton Burnley 1-2 Man Utd Arsenal 2-1 Spurs Brighton 3-1 Bournemouth Chelsea 1-1 Villa Liverpool 3-1 West Ham Sheff Utd 1-1 Newcastle

I agree, it does Pata.

Not at all, the model was wrong and corrected itself when it looked like Liverpool might do it. But yeah, suck it up basically. I don't disagree with the point about xG, but if you're gonna outright call people thick, from a failing education system, and akin to a flat earther, then you're absolutely fair game and deserve everything you get.

A lot of football analysis, stats and terms are valuable, but some modern terms are pretentious reinventions of existing ones that are only really used to make people feel smarter or their opinions more valid imo. And as for the 'bullying' - I wouldn't call it that, but I also think it's a bit blinkered to think of that as a one way thing. Posters regularly get told they 'don't know ball' and are basically thick in the so called 'sharing and discussing' arena. Not to mention, the last time I challenged your bookies' odds based take on Liverpool's run in, you brought up my country's failing education system.

It's funny because this post shows just how self-evident it is that they're absolutely right

This is part of the problem Not a single person has a problem with or criticised 'someone being too much into football' and that sort of doubles down on the extremely visible superiority complex on display by certain posters. This forum is full of people who are obsessed with football, that should be self-evident. I did a longer post that went into more detail that probably isn't helpful tbh, but this is primarily more a problem with attitude, where the content doesn't make up for it.

'It has no bearing at all to the people in the kingdom' Couldn't agree more, that's the point.

I can't imagine being in a position where I'd block hans of all people

I wouldn't want to police posts, or try to, and I don't really think they could be anyway, but in terms of just commenting on it, I definitely agree with there being a spoilt, cynical attitude on here and online in general that might not necessarily represent the fanbase but that nonetheless absolutely stinks like, particularly in the match threads.

A proper leader's performance that, he was brilliant.

Did everything right

Could have been 5-0, could have been 0-1, will happily take 0-0. We rolled with the punches and, read this back, competed and got a result in the Champions League away to AC Milan. So proud! Pope: 8.5 Trippier: 9.5 Schar: 7.5 Botman: 7.5 Burn: 7 Bruno: 6.5 Tonali: 6.5 Longstaff: 7 Gordon: 6 Isak: 6 Murphy: 6

I rate it, but absolutely don't rate the white patch on the back

I never thought leopards would eat my face
