Froggy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Having a bad season, can't play with Ronaldo etc. etc. 9 goals (0 pens) and 6 assists in 25 games as well. Can we give this man the respect he deserves yet? Best midfielder in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Any particular reason Galatasaray are 13th in the Turkish League? Horrendous season for them. Besiktas and Fener outside the top 4 too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line between consumer and supporter is a really strange, blurred one like. I like to convince myself it is simply confined to kids with keyboards that have never even seen the outside of a Premier League stadium never mind been in one. The sad reality is that it probably isn't that and the consequence of social media, video games, and the general dehumanising of the game. There are times the whole thing feels like numbers on a screen and that our experience is only ever either positive or negative. You're either winning or losing. A few losses speaks to a fundamentally broken club while a few wins is the sign of some special sauce that has taken so much time to concoct. The club's are no angels mind you. They'll flog you everything from a limited edition third kit that is worn once to digital tokens that you can trade for a gif of Mo Salah. I think the Keegan idea of football being the consequence of a hard week at work is diminishing year on year. Now it feels more like a ubiquitous accompaniment to the week. Like with the rolling news cycle the rise of podcasts and YouTube channels means you can live in the world of your team every day and when anything becomes that engrained it will ultimately produce wild - and often irrational - responses.

Kind of feel like we are to blame in not having decision makers with enough balls to stand up to the despot over in Moscow. Poor play from EU and UK...

Yorkie Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 there's one or two moments of absolute brilliance. The backwards header at the end was a terrific bit of instinct/application of the knowledge that the goalkeeper was going to be a million miles from anywhere useful.
