Kid Icarus

When was the last time Man United and Arsenal played each other before the 4th round?

Baresi Dani Alves Lahm Are the first short arses that come to mind.

Man United aren't big 6 👀

When was the last time 2 'big 6' clubs met each other before the quarter finals?

Would rather play them at SJP than Wembley tbf.

At home at least

Fuck off man

I'll never understand cup draw predictions

This always comes to mind whenever he's brought up

There have been a few reports that say he had the choice and chose them. Think he said as much himself as well.

Seems too obvious that he'd come here now. He's made a mistake going there like, no doubt about it.

He's a very likeable player. Loves a half turn in the pocket doesn't he?

"They shouldn't need VAR" must be the worst argument available for anyone who's anti-VAR like.

Shirt pull I think. Doesn't even qualify as soft.

Outrageous decision against Oxford there.

I don't see this personally. I think it's more of an extension of how the rule was already trying to be applied rather than a shift. Pre-VAR, officials were still aspiring to the same microscopic levels of perfection on these things that VAR has, rather than the whole original intention of offside thing where it was about whether an advantage was gained. The buffer exists because of the human eye element, like you say, but I think crucially that's only true in an idealised pre-VAR world where obvious mistakes outside of that buffer weren't made.

Can't help but chirp on this one like. Technically it's 2-0 VAR. Romantically it might be a 2-0 for anti-VAR though if you both hate the Willock decision and are willing to live with decisions like the Abraham one. Last night is the type of decision (along with the others) that imo a few days ago wasn't being considered as a regular occurrence in the pre-VAR days by the people who are vehemently anti-VAR. The Willock one is an extremely unlucky, some might say pedantic decision, but ultimately it's still been called correctly.

Proper creased at this.

It's from one of FionaNUFC's most recent YouTube uploads 8 minutes in. Nice bit of analysis on Ginola as well.

Was watching highlights of our 3-1 win against Forest in 95/96 and he played at left wing back in a 3511 . He was past his best in 95/96 so putting him there is mental really, except for the fact he was class.

Ask any Newcastle fan old enough who they'd have from the past to take our current team to the next level and it's going to be a toss up between Beardsley and Shearer. It's staggering that someone at his level can be that braindead like.

From Hope's article. 'Howe became that confidant, that fixer, all the while robbed of his own. He was needlessly - and negligently on the part of the decision-makers - pitched into battle with his own sporting director, Paul Mitchell. In one story that captures the unrest, it is said, he addressed the club’s youth recruitment team and declared that Peter Beardsley would never be a footballer in the modern game. A controversial take based on physical genetics and discarding genius, but all the more contentious given Beardsley’s son was one of the scouts. Such antagonism was also felt by Howe, his backroom team and the players, who won the Carabao Cup and qualified for the Champions League last season despite some other factions within the club, not because of them. After no first-team signings in three windows and players lost in that time, it was a dual sporting achievement that did not get the wider recognition it deserved.' Absolute chancer and a bellend to boot.

Tells you everything about him like. Absolute bellend.

Just a couple of many on the Villa forum. Fair to say they saw what we did
