"CHAYT! CHAYT! CHAYT! CHAYT!"

Utter. Woke. Nonsense.

Don't worry, it's just a heavily sarcastic meme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PFQgVzfOhY

What's all this pish I'm hearing on here about wanting them lot to win so we can play them next season?! Get that idea so far to fuck. Utter woke nonsense. I wouldn't want these slugs to win a coin toss against Hitler, let alone be part of the worlds most prestigous league. Sure, we'll have the chance to smash them twice a season, but the battle lines have been redrawn since we were last in a league together. If we destroy them, they'd put it down to the differences in finance, they'd claim a narrow defeat as a moral victory such is the gulf between us, they'd be peacocking around after a draw and a defeat to them doesn't even bear thinking about. They can rot with the rest of the flotsam and jetsam in the lower leagues, masquerading as the 'big fish in the small pond' while they become less and less relevant to the rest of the football world. I take more pleasure in seeing them drop points against tin pot teams than I would seeing them get battered every week in the PL. I don't want them getting an iota of the prestige and riches that come with being a PL team, even if it was just for one season. They'd start considering themselves a 'PL calibre team'. They are nothing. They always have been nothing. They always will be nothing.

What an utterly depressing night of football.

Where do we even begin with this?

The 'marrative' when we beat a big team e.g. PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool: "Team X are nothing special, we'd give them game" The 'marrative' when we beat run of the mill PL opponents: "The standard of PL is shocking, we're a much bigger club than Team X, we'd be comfortably midtable in this years PL" The 'marrative' when they lose to some pish team like Oxford, QPR or Stoke: "We're not good enough marra, sack the manager, sack the board, sell every player except O'9 for 20 million each" We couldn't have been blessed with better rivals.

At what point do they stop being 'everybody's cup final' and just become another once famous name amongst a sea of dross? I think it probably happened somewhere between 2018-19 but I get the idea their fans still hold onto this notion.

I watched Bilbao play Rangers twice. They are worse than useless, Man Utd have nothing to worry about.

Woke club. No one cares about them. A less detestable version of MK Dons.

Am I right in saying that they also claimed Wimbledons FA Cup win as their own until very recently. The phoenix club working their way up and eventually establishing themselves at a higher level than the franchise is one of the great triumphant tales of English football.

I wonder if we could hoodwink them into taking Jamal Lewis on a loan with obligation to buy?

Roundabouts?! I thought they were paying homage to the Papa Johns stalls they have in their concourses? Milton Keynes isn't that bad ladies and gentlemen. Bletchley Park is one of the best museums I've ever been to, their Asda & Ikea stores are gargantuan, the Tesco Express shops use little robots to deliver shopping and their equivalent of Northumberland Street is indoors. Visit MK now.

Does anybody have a link to a good DHGate seller who does kits that aren't made out of kitchen roll and disintegrate after 1 wash? Not sure if this is the right thread for this kind of thing, if not please let me know which is.

23/24: Home - Meh Away - Decent Third - Jazzy 24/25: Home - Fine, but the cup win has elevated it to legendary Away - Class Third - Sexy AF Not gonna rank the GK kits cause no one over the age of 8 cares about them

At first glance, it seems a bit of a shanner, but I think it'll grow in time. Like every kit, it will live and die depending on how well we do in it next season. I wasn't overly blown away by this years kit but it'll go down as an all timer now that we've won something in it.

Look at the state of most expensive signings in PL history only VVD and Rice could be considered an outright success. Jury still out on whether Fernandez, Caicedo and Gvardiol will ever live up to their billing, but as it stands they hardly represent value for money. #15 is Havertz to Chelsea fwiw

Gee whizz, thats utterly pathetic. Even if all those players were in their prime, they still wouldn't threaten the top 4. Especially if they play the formation the article suggests: GK RB CB LB RW CM CM LF FW FW FW Not only Boro, but I dare say other dross teams like Stoke, Wigan, Swansea and Norwich probably have better PL 11s How dare these slugs consider themselves our equals.

I think Defoe and Bent are the only Sunderland players I can ever remember being remotely impressed with and slightly jealous that they had them and not us. Even then, those two wouldn't even threaten a NUFC 25 man squad from the PL era. Shearer, Isak, Cole, Ferdinand, Ba and Wilson are miles clear imo.

Delete!
