Yes, exactly this. Delighted Chelsea are on their way out, and hope Atletico find a whole new level of shithousery tomorrow that makes every single British football pundit, commentator, and journalist burst into fucking tears at the injustice of it all. More issue with a side being defensive and wasting time than a club owned by a fucking oil state.

I think you can disappear up your own arsehole endlessly worrying about combinations for other teams in draws and how it will affect them in other competition games. You can play a far easier team but lose 2 key players to injury for instance. All I know is that when the CL 'group of death' was on the tv screen at the first draw, if you had said that we would win all 6 group games, be 3-1 up on Benfica with a home leg to come and if all goes well a potential semi final with Villareal, my kecks woukd have been down and I would have been throwing myself around the room.

What would top it off is a comfortable night for the lads tomorrow. Horrible game for city and they go out. Not arsed about this talk of more games for city etc. A sapping semi versus Chelsea etc. Get these english sides out. Fucking rats all of em.

That shot still gives me chills when I see it.

This thread tonight

I don't know what to make of ten Hag. He's clearly a decent coach and his Ajax team generally punch above their weight and play good football. But he doesn't seem to be a particularly big personality, just a facilitator - and Ajax are as stable a structure in European football as you'll find, with expectation levels - from board and fanbase - kept pretty realistic. He'll have none of that at the toilet. They need a big character, someone totemic like Houllier was for us, who can transform the club and dressing room culture, shame the dickheads into compliance or show them the door. I'm not sure he's that. They're also dysfunctional as hell from top to bottom so he won't have the benefit of a stable club to just slot into. And he'll be working to impossible expectations from all angles so the deck is stacked against him. Still though - other than Klopp or Guardiola, who out there would be an absolute banker for them? I don't think the coach is the quick fix they want it to be because there's nobody who's that good who's available. They tried some of the 'best of the rest' candidates (well, Jose anyway) and they couldn't do it - so the only way back for them is the long haul of rebuilding the club from the ground up whilst an impatient set of cunts watch on in despair at having lost their vessel for one-upmanship turn into a "project" rather than the "biggest club in the world." LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.

Though his story's seldom told.

Yeah, good shout, he’d be in my top five best vampires. 1. Count von Count 2. Count Dracula (Christoper Lee) 3. Count Duckuka 4. Lilly Munster (Yvonne De Carlo) 5. Star (Jami Gertz, The Lost Boys)

I just can’t have your whole Leicester thing, Dave. You’re absolutely right in everything you say about what a shit result it was and yet when the margins are so fine every week in a competition as ridiculously intense as the PL, it’s understandable that we have one or two proper shite days. It’s actually pretty remarkable that we don’t have more though to be honest, because for pretty much the entire history of the English top flight, that’s been the norm. Even with that utter shit show we’re still light years better than anyone else who preceded us bar the cheating cunts out in front. So that performance and result is only shite because we’re trying to keep pace with cheats. And that’s not on us.

They never bothered protesting when they signed varane, sancho and Ronaldo after finishing 2nd last year. They are protesting that they are shit. Entitled pricks.

It's as you were in the title race as the Reds were unable to close the gap on leaders City and needed to twice come from behind to even secure a draw. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss the game and the implications of the result on the rest of the season. Do we need to change our approach against City now? Can we win out and even if we can, will it be enough? View full article

It’s a testament to Azpuliballbag being such a twat he even gets booked when he’s not on the field.

Apparently he was a cunt in a previous life

Fuck me he looks like someone has drawn Ken Barlow onto a ball bag!

Love the way the Met waited until recess to issue the fines too. We're basically Colombia with cricket.

Five pages in and nobody has mentioned my first love yet, Susanna Hoffs, who (it should be pointed out) still looks absolutely tremendous today.

Think my first was Glynis Barber in Dempsey and Makepeace in about 1985

Glen Campbell was a sensational guitarist.

Sounded ace yesterday, I recant my earlier criticism.

Modric’ pass made me wet my Knick nacks.

I tell you what if Leroy Sane is fed up of not winning the european cup he can always join us! He is a fucking lovely footballer - just watched highlights of their game and he is so dangerous.

No doubt about it??? Behave. They couldn’t beat us this season (yet) and there’s only one point between us over the last four years! They may be better than us (they’re not) but if so, it’s far from conclusive.

Except I want them to not win the Champions League. Ever.

Jorginho channeling the spirit of Eidur Gudjohnsen there.

It's what happens when you have a brain transplant and a potato is the donor

Cracking goal that. Modric is going to be 37 in September.

Pull them up on this and you get told that they've been protesting for years. Glazers were at a game early this season, why no protest then? I dunno, maybe it was because they come off the back of a freak season finishing second, bought Varane, Sancho and brought Ronaldo back and thought the were going to challenge for the league. Fickle, spoilt dickheads.

He couldn’t sort the mess out despite having money to spend but somehow it’s all Rafa’s fault for having fuck all to spend and spending it badly. Shit fans, shit club, shit ground, shit accounting and hopefully soon shit out of luck.

Zoom meeting done. Very emotional, DBS done, accommodation needs to be checked but it’s an Airbnb so should be fine waiting on visas.

Yep.

Couldn't read a note and was the anchor to one of the great session bands of all time. Countless hit records he played on. I played golf with him a couple times in AZ. Top fella.

What's the betting our resident Putinites will "discover" that Finland and Sweden are infested with neo-Nazis in the near future?

Listen to you. Sheltered away from all the trauma, living it up in peace in Sudan. For the rest of us, there’s war, WAR, happening basically on our doorstep.

This lad only scores shit whistler’s

Rosie Jones, the comedian, is having a shouty rant on Twitter about JK Rowling daring to have lunch with some LGBT activists. Says the sight of the photo made her cry with anger. In the same tweet she says it’s time to stop the hate. I don’t think she’s quite right in the head.

Probably not as determined as Dirk though!

I have a sneaky suspicion the reason is that they're a shower of inbred simpletons.

I would have happily posed for him if only he'd asked.

Only shit vampires dress head to toe in black, mate, Count von Count is the greatest vampire of all time. He wore a white shirt and, occasionally, a white bow tie.
