Get in VVD

Geed up you mad bastard

I’m not sure I’m masochistic enough to watch an Argentina v Croatia semi final

They are playing like they’ve forgotten they’re losing

De Jong’s goals record outside of the Eredivisie is utter gash. As of course we’ve witnessed

Other than the great man, both sides just look moribund to me

Everyone crying voted Bolsonaro. Definitely.

SBS has dropped out again in Australia. Back to the BBC website You should all count yourselves lucky you don’t live in a country like Australia, where the most basic of modern technology can’t be relied upon.

The Dutch need to wake up now - too conservative by half

Football supporter politics is worse than student politics - it is more delusional and more corrupt, and is of even less importance. More akin to social club boards than anything. I do find it hilarious that they think their voices will be listened to, mind, no matter how much arse-licking they do. They’ll find themselves speaking to PIF even less often than they managed to with Ashley.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Argentina and Brazil both have managers who haven’t been managing in Europe. The game generally has moved away from that sort of passivity

Ho’way the cloggies It’s absolutely the least tragic part of that country’s break-up, but Yugoslavia would have won a major trophy or two had it remained unified. Certainly think they would have in the ‘90s

I had them to win the whole thing, but I do think Brazil’s arrogance (particularly over the last couple of decades) makes them a fun side to watch losing. The support seem even more entitled than the average talkSHITE caller

Nee more Neymar

Pens in penalty shootouts don’t count - but he’s a weapon either way

I could understand if he was third penalty taker - they can be a pressure one as it’s the earliest you can lose. But fifth is ludicrous

It doesn’t resolve the issue of what happens while it is being rebuilt. It won’t be much quicker than a knockdown rebuild.

Neymar bubbling Take a fuckingpenalty next time you tart

YES GET IN! Croatia are the new Germany like And that’ll teach Tite for not picking wor Bruno

Yep, I got that without having to look past the third team i don’t doubt it would be hard for non-NUFC supporters though

‘Atlantean in Peace’

Me and most of my mates wore this top more than the B&W one during this period, I think for two reasons: 1) ‘electric blue’ just looks mint on a football top 2) most of us got the B&W top first - and the ‘first generation’ ASICS kits would click to buggery. Those who grumble about the Castore quality don’t know they’re born

They’re hosting it now - no need for pretence anymore. They couldn’t give a flying one

Is he still shouting at random people on Twitter?

I’ve never quite understood why a deal can’t be done in terms of building a new ground just behind the current SJP - and still keeping the ground’s name - while converting the current site into a park to make up for the loss elsewhere I know people talk about the history, but you’d only be moving a matter of yards - and besides, not one of those stands at SJP has borne witness to a major trophy win. There is no chance really of converting the current ground into a different arrangement to make a bigger stadium, as any knockdown - rebuild would take too long, and the club would need to play elsewhere. One of the drawbacks of being a one-club city is the lack of other stadia which can be used temporarily - the only ground which could be used is the SOS, and both sets of fans ultimately wouldn’t go for it (which is daft when you really think about it - but who said football support was rational?)
