  1. They're enabling Michael Owen so certainly deserve all blame that comes their way.
  2. I can understand any criticism of Southgate, fair enough, but I thought that crowd was poor tonight. Will have contained some of the same people that criticized us for turning after what?!- 18 months of solid shambles and lies. Those England fans have had half a decade of fairly impressive progress and success....but one bad month or so and they instantly turn nasty. Not having it, after all the patronizing lectures I've had over the years about bring a 'real' football fan. Not from the same people who refused to even listen about WHY we were pissed off. They've all chucked their rattles out the pram at the first bump.
  3. Lol, worst home defeat in almost a century. Quite the result.
  4. If that red card doesn't start the campaign for a BS rule change, I don't know what will. VAR can't judge a red card from a 2nd yellow, but can for just about everything else on the pitch. It's laughable. One look at a replay shows the Hungary player ran into him to feign the incident and achieve his aim. (Excellenty executed too.) But if anything, it should be reversed and him yellowed. VAR will have seen that instantly, but can't do anything about it. Ridiculous.
  5. Good! Means there's way more pressure and scrutiny on their guy. Right from the off. Under the radar suits me fine.
  6. Ok. You think we should have been in the Top 10 list at any stage this last decade or so?
  7. Doubt we'd make top 5, all things considered. Stumbled across this(how are we not on that list?): https://fanbanter.co.uk/worst-owners-in-english-football-6feb20/
  8. Big difference between a stranger, and one of your closest and most trusted. 😉 Savage!
  9. Only just heard about it last hour or so. Been holding off internet searches till I finished the series. It's just anout Ciro I'm guessing?
  10. Disagree, think that bit was brilliant and brutal. That he had transformed from this niave, young kid 👇.....to a monster capable of such horrors is the story: Excellent show, definitely in my Top 5 all time. Just finished the final 2 episodes last night. Going to try Suburra now, heard good things.
  11. By my rough calculations, at some point Monday night the counters for last manager and season start will be exactly the same numbers. Perfect time to make the announcement. I like a bit of symmetry to life.
  12. That's a bold path to take a wander down. May the force be with you.
  13. All that's standing out to me from that tweet is a football club getting rid of a manager and appointing a new one within days. What sort of South American witchcraft is this?! Such things are beyond the realm of mortal man surely.
  14. Mealy-mouthed. His maths could do some work too. What's the odd 10k matter....errrrr I mean 5k (wtf is he on about?!): "Whether there are 30,000 or 40,000 people, it doesn't change anything. What matters is that there were people, in large numbers, likely to disrupt the proper organization of the filtering. But that we count them precisely to within 5000, it doesn't change much."
  15. Behave. I reckon I'd get you for 50-100k. And it would be fully booked in pubs/restaurants, days at the beach etc. I'd want maximum exposure to possible punishment. Otherwise, where's the fun. 😀
  16. If I was a lottery winner I'd quite fancy testing that theory out. I do enjoy the idea of someone trying not to swear publicly whilst hearing that Alan Curbishley has been appointed our interim manager. Or better still, some pics from your jail cell. 😂
  17. Pfff. A few light hearted tangents to entertain in the off season is one thing. The same tired old rows that have been going on months/years totally derailing a thread is another. #NACAB
  18. MANAGER thread folks, not PLAYERS thread. Please don't make me hide a load of posts, I got better things to do. Take your 'Bucko' bickering elsewhere.
  19. This is a fair explanation tbf. The CL final was all very close quarters. This one was miles apart so the defender has "time and options" and "distance and space": Not that I really agree with that, but if those are the rules, I can understand how the penalty is given.
  20. Unless the ball came off a defender, but then we had the whole Benzema CL final thing. Either way, weird they didn't even look at it.
  21. Kane was offside there surely. 🤔 But VAR didn't even bother checking that. Nice to get one go for us.
  22. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17719839 Gael Givet.
  23. See, he's too thick to realise it, but the story shows exactly why we were right about Kean. If a midfielder was running 50m high intensity a match he shouldn't have been anywhere near the team sheet. Didn't that twat waffle on about Opta match stats constantly? The minute you knew a player had "downed tools", you ditch them. You play absolutely anyone else there, even if it's a youth squad player. Those are the sort of tough decisions a manager is paid handsomely to make. It's the reason that tool is a multi millionaire. Because he was supposed to be dealing with all these things daily, and getting the best people out there come matchday. But he didn't...he couldn't....cos he was always a useless pudding. So take your sob story Bradley and shove it sideways up your backside! Clown.
  24. DJ making a bit of a clown of himself these last few days. Needs to go to Saudi as it's "what's best for his family", and he felt "he was going to have to play golf forever, this way I won't have to." Must have been really struggling on those $75 million career earnings. 🤷‍♂️
