I'm meant to like this, right? I can relish the child's enthusiasm rather than think he's a stoopid Geordie? It can be hard to tell at times...

I shared it with my mates whatsapp group that has more than a few geordie fans in it on the basis that I thought it was boss.

 

I also though he let himself down with the fist bump hi five.

I think Howe is a good coach as well. 
 

He’s just an unlikeable little weasel.

 

Don’t get me started on his #2…

 

Although I sincerely hope Slot’s reign is long and trophy laden, we’ve considered Howe in the past, wouldn’t surprise me if we did, hopefully years & years & years, in the future. 

Euwch! Wash yer mouth out!

Real Madrid have 'lost their head' over referee attack

La Liga president Javier Tebas says Real Madrid have "lost their head" after the Spanish club launched an unprecedented attack on the league's referees.

Real Madrid sent a formal letter of complaint, external to the Spanish FA (RFEF) and Spain's High Council for Sports after suffering a 1-0 defeat at Espanyol on Saturday.

The only goal of the game was scored by Espanyol defender Carlos Romero, who Real felt should have been sent off for an earlier challenge on Kylian Mbappe.

In the letter they claimed that officials - including video assistant referees (VAR) - are biased against them, "rigged", and "completely discredited".

The letter said: "Decisions against Real Madrid have reached a level of manipulation and adulteration of the competition that can no longer be ignored."

Speaking at a meeting with La Liga clubs, RFEF and representatives of Spain's refereeing committee (CTA) on Thursday - which Real Madrid did not attend - Tebas said: "Real Madrid wants to harm the competition, not just the refereeing group.

"They have built a story of victimhood and I think the cherry on top was the letter they published the other day.

"The issue has been blown out of proportion, they have lost their head. Football doesn't revolve around Real Madrid."

Meanwhile, earlier on Thursday, RFEF chief Rafael Louzan had his seven-year ban from holding public office overturned by Spain's Supreme Court.

In 2022 a provincial court ruled against Louzan for misconduct during his tenure as president of Pontevedra Provincial Council.

He was elected RFEF president in December after the Supreme Court allowed him to run.

"Let this be the beginning of a new, different era, we have the opportunity to create it together," said Louzan.

 

 

Lost a game have you. Their head is so far up their arse, explains why it's lost.

They’ve been watching Arsenal and Forest. They haven’t employed Clattenburg have they?

[Anubis]

How the fuck is Faes still getting a game. Van Horseface would be better off pulling on a pair of boots and playing himself.

[Anubis]

Slabhead allowed to wrestle Daka in the area.

[niallers]

I know the fickle fans at the theatre of delusions usually leave with 20 to go, but I've rarely, if ever, seen empty seats from the start of a match there.

That's a hugely worrying sign.

[Anubis]

This is so poor that both of these teams should just agree to exit the competition now and all go for a beer.

[Anubis]

Deconstructed-Reid thinking he’d morphed into Salah.

[El Rojo]

This Manchester United side is like  watching us under Hodgson, with the crucial difference that I’m really enjoying the awfulness. They badly need to get Konchesky and Poulsen on at half-time.

[Anubis]

Hey on. I take it back Deconstructed. Never doubted you lad.

[Harry's Lad]

Haha get in!

[Lee909]

Hahahahahahahaha

 

Fucking losers*

 

I know they'll win

[Gruntfuttock]

Ha Ha!!

Scoring against united IS for everyone 

[goose]

Worth wading through 40 turgid minutes for that!

[Creator Supreme]

I hate those Tory Midlands cunts, but that is fucking funny.

[Anubis]

Ha ha ha. Onana played it in off Reid’s head. Superb.

[Section_31]

Fuck me they're shit.

[Tj hooker]

Hahahaha brilliant goal I'm a bit late to the party as I was reading last night's match report 

[an tha]

Throwing cup game to focus on staying up.

 

 

[Anubis]

Booooooooooooooo!

[El Rojo]

Hojlund makes that scammer Ali Dia lad from back in the day look like the original Ronaldo.

[Creator Supreme]

I'm sure as Amorim was walking off, a Manc kid was waving goodbye to him.

 

It's not going well is it?

[Lee909]

So far Amorim has won 8 of 19 games, 4 of 15 if you exclud the Europa league wins against Rangers,Steaua București, Viktoria Plzeň and Bodo Glimt
