Kid Icarus

I get what you're saying like. Liverpool fans hated him for going to Man City, at Man City unless there for nearer a decade you're more of a cog in the machine, and likewise Chelsea. Not Sterling's fault that he was never at lower ranking club that would have idolised him though.

It's baffling like. Chelsea trying to get him for £50m in the summer was crazy enough, Everton turning them down was even weirder. There's obviously a lot of people within football that rate him highly then.

£60m is absolutely fucking obscene man Isn't that essentially James Maddison money?

So far the most credible link today is that someone had a dream that we signed Merino

This is starting to feel like another one of those few pages that ends up getting linked to in a year's time

I don't rate him or anything, but I wouldn't put too much stock into whether he can or can't get into the starting XI or not, Miggy and Schar regularly couldn't get in our team under Bruce and lest we forget the last player we signed from Everton who couldn't get into their starting XI. I take your point that for the money spent it happens less often to sign players for the bench, I don't think that's necessarily the case with Gordon either, but players are definitely signed specifically for the bench like.

Of course you do, there are countless examples of players being signed for that very purpose like.

Happens all the time in cinemas now like. Not so much the independent ones, but if you go to The Gate you'll quite often see people on their phones throughout, or being unable to keep their stupid mouths closed.

Call me crazy but I could see Rooney getting them out of it this season. They'd probably repeat the cycle again next season though.

I'd be all for getting a mobile signal in there and leaving it at that, with no wi-fi. The less 'fan experience' bullshit that's at St James', the better. I know others will disagree but we have enough consumerism attached to football, the crowd having the mindset that they're there to predominantly consume and be entertained rather than engage is to the detriment of the atmosphere. That mindset is already instilled in all of us to a certain extent anyway and with some more than others, so we don't need to hand them the keys to making things worse by encouraging the idea that the match is just something that's just going on in the background while they're on their phones. Look at most gigs now, they're an absolute joke.

Faster than Traore?

Milosevic was probably my favourite Villa striker. Love a lazy looking, slightly overweight footballer that's silky as fuck.

We need a pinned post with all of these terms like, some of them are class. Fewmin rights marrapause vaux outrage marrachute payments Wish I could remember more

RTG is exactly the sort of community that would go the same way that Northern Ireland has with its ever more tenuously linked flags.

Carragher's generally decent in analysis I think. Tends to get Newcastle near enough right as well and has the humility to say fans of clubs will know better than him. Neville is getting really bad now though, he's coming across as less and less knowledgeable and with crazier and crazier views.

A kid at my school once produced a blue card that he'd made at home and showed it to the player he thought was man of the match. He was rightly mocked to tears, which is exactly what should have happened in that case.

Tierney's been shite

He's in the mix in my lifetime, but he doesn't get close to mid-90s Shearer.

Looks like it should be painted on the back of the wildest ride at the hoppings

Son obviously shouldn't be on the field either.

No chance imo. He's never been at 93-97 level Shearer and that's before getting onto Greaves etc.

Typical

They've been like this all season, it's unbelievable that they're 5th, they're absolutely rotten.

Think he's even more clueless on those tbh. His whole thing is 'get people around the table' and for people in football to 'make demands' of the most powerful people in the world, who Governments are unable and unwilling to tell what to do. He's a stupid idiot.
