Fuck off you cheating fucking cunts. Yes, they miss out on two more games but the name of Manchester City should not adorn the European cup. That name sullies a great competition. Fuck off you cunts.

People need to stop with the ifs, buts and maybes - City may or may not win the league, they may or may not have a better chance if they go out tonight. But fuck me, I don't want them picking up another European Cup. Get them out!

I know in theory it's better for us if they'd stayed in but you can't help but enjoy those cheating cunts going out.

Player reviews from Stamford Bridge, taken from the Toffeetalk Forum.Pickford - He made some saves to keep the score as low as it was but what he did with that pass was embarrassing. Coleman - Got absolutely destroyed for 45 minutes. Which makes it hilarious that he was only subbed due to injury. Tarkowski - Absolutely loved the jug-eared bastard needlessly get himself booked to try and make up for being shit. Honestly, I felt much better after it. Branthwaite - Returned to form last week then regressed to below even where he was at pre-Burnley. He was given the run around by the quick football on display from Chelsea. Plenty of learning to do for him. Mykolenko - The final member of the non-defending defence. Probably the least shit of the lot but shit nonetheless. Young - I've never played golf before but I'm more than willing to invest in an expensive set of golf clubs and then use Ashley f***ing Young as a golf ball and smash him all over the place. Brought in for his experience? Experience of what? Being shit? We have enough shit in this squad to be very experienced without him. Onana - WHAT. DOES. HE. DO?!!!!!!!!! Garner - Contributed massively the big f***ing empty space that was our midfield. Actually, call the f***ing scientists because we have discovered dark matter. It is Everton's midfield, ladies and gentleman - we know it's there, we just can't f***ing find it. McNeil - Probably the best player on the pitch during the good start to the game we had, then he disappeared somewhere else that wasn't Stamford Bridge. Doucoure - An absolute passenger. Again. We can't afford a passenger anywhere tbh but particularly not in such an integral position. He's offering absolutely nothing so he's got to be dropped. Beto - For absolute fucks sake, someone teach him the bastard offside rule. I'm sick to f***ing death with him standing 2 yards offside and then looking all gormless when he's flagged as if he can't understand why. If Dom isn't fit on Sunday I still wouldn't play this joker and would sooner see Chermiti given an opportunity even though I don't think he's ready. His first touch is absolutely appalling and his second touch is an attack for the opposition.

Doesn't help our league chances but always nice to see those cheating cunts lose, especially in the champions league.

Mancs singing a song written and performed by Scousers. Absolute melts.

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. How do we treat this one? We made a right pig's ear of the first leg, making any potential progress in the Europa League the most unlikeliest of scenarios. Defend like we have been, and it's done. Attack like we have been, and it's done. So tightening up and sharpening up are key if we are to stage another European miracle. We've been 3-0 down at half time to some Italians before. Atalanta have been on the fringes of a Champions League place in Serie A all season, but though they are well-organised and pose an attacking threat, we made them look like cultured European heavyweights at times last week. It's not always thus. Our last visit to Bergamo, in November 2020, showcased us at our dominant and ruthless best. Diogo was a new addition to our attack, and he underlined just how much of a goal threat he can provide. He's such an unusual player and that in almost every aspect of attacking play, he doesn't seem to pass the eye test as elite level. And yet he is deceptively strong in the air, has a turn of pace, can dribble his way past defenders with no little skill, can pick out players in a better scoring position, and has a precision to his finishing that belies what often looks like a scruffy shooting technique. And he works his bollocks off. He bagged himself a hat-trick that night. His first came when an inch-perfect through ball by Trent allowed him to shrug off his marker and dink the keeper. His second came soon afterwards when Joe found him just inside the box on the left. He brought the ball down and cut inside the defender before firing low and hard inside the near post. We were flying, especially on the counter. Into the second half, and Mo got in on the act. It came from an Atalanta corner which we cleared. Curtis hammered the ball away into Mo's path, still in our own half, and he simply bombed forward, steadied himself, cut inside the defender and curled the ball into the far corner. You know what he's going to do, the defenders know what he's going to do, but back then they still had no answer for it. Sadio got the goal of the night when he was played in via another inch-perfect through ball. The keeper came flying out to narrow the angle, but Sadio dinked the ball over him and into the net anyway. Again, we've seen Sadio do that on many an occasion. There was still time for Sadio to pick out Diogo's run beyond a beleaguered Atalanta back line. The Portuguese rounded the keeper and rolled the ball into an empty net. 5-0 and we could have had more. However, for most of the last 10 minutes, we either switched off completely or Atalanta found another gear all of a sudden. They created some great chances and were unfortunate that Ali and/or the woodwork came to our rescue. I think we carried that sloppiness into the home fixture. It's hard to know if Atalanta will look to settle the tie early, or play to keep things cagey, hoping that we remain both porous on the counter and profligate in attack. As unlikely as a turnaround is, we have to go for it, and use the game as the first step towards righting the wrongs of the past month or so. I know we need to keep something back for the league (not least because we travel to Fulham and Everton over the next week), but that becomes a bigger challenge if we go into the final stages of the league campaign displaying the same frailties of recent weeks. Being out of Europe and fucking it up in the league would be such a dampener on Jurgen's farewell tour. Try everything we can to stay in Europe, and use it to re-energise the rest of the season. The start of the match in particular needs to be managed far better. Complacency, stupidity and zero hunger have no place at Liverpool FC. Maximum motivation, concentration, attitude and application from first minute to last. Make the semi finals and write another chapter in this club's storied history in European competition. Get it done!

No more fucking talk of the treble .......

Fuck you city !!! VID-20231219-WA0028.mp4.220c08e94eac3270f3c079f415b69cb2.mp4

Ha ha. I’m convinced Ancellotti doesn’t do anything, just wanders around looking mafia like.

Hahaha City fans nick the ball and make Silva wait. Silva fucks up the pen

I'm sorry Ruben but I haven't got the legs anymore.

Hey Arsenal...

A refresh for you Barry, and to get everyone in the mood.

Managed to complete my first ever marathon this week in Manchester!! My main aim was to finish the actual race, especially as I was raising money for charity, but I had also been eyeing up a sub 4 hour time. Absolutely delighted to not only finish, but also get the sub 4 hour with 3:58:10. Also had the added bonus of raising just over £3000 for The Marina Dalglish Appeal. Oh, and also managed to keep my running streak going before (and since - just!) the marathon (now at 1185 days)! Some pics and further information here.

And you had the perfect chance right there.

Very, very grudging respect to the massive grock.

I think the argument for freedom to make your own decisions, and live or die by them, goes out the window considering the billions of pounds smoking related illnesses cost the (generally non-smoking) taxpayer each year via the NHS. As a principle, I'm in favour of capable adults being allowed to make their own decisions in their lives, but not at the expense of others, or society more generally, and that's the line crossed here. And, if we are to accept that the freedom to do your own thing is paramount, then why doesn't that apply to everything? I don't remember anything like the same outrage from 'libertarian's' when so-called legal highs were banned not long ago, and they don't cost society anything like as much. Cannabis? Try telling some stuffy Telegraph reading cunt with a whiskey in his hand that we should legalise weed and he'd think you were smoking something. It seems like societal/cultural norms and stereotypes figure into their calculations more than inherent principles.

Been done before but films and TV come and go so lists will no doubt fluctuate. T-1000 (Terminator 2). General Zod (Terence Stamp) Superman II. Gustavo Fring. (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul). Tywin Lannister (Game of Thrones). ED-209 (Robocop). Weyoun (Deep Space 9). Grand Admiral Thrawn (Star Wars Heir to the Empire books). Prince Nuada (Hellboy 2). Vincent (Collateral). Ivan Drago (Rocky IV).

Am I the only one who read that in the voice of Arnold J Rimmer?

A wonderful night of football, lets hope for an even better one tomorrow.

Made up that shithead Bernardo Silva tried to be too smart and passed it to the goalie. Knobhead.

Carlo Yeah I'm nearly 65 and have hair, fuck off Baldy

They all have blood transfusions after every game with this…

Gonna be funny when we’re the only team who goes through tomorrow.

Soupe à l'oignon… …C’est tres bon!

It's pretty much all City have thought about for years.

Frank ( once upon a time in the west) Marlo stanfield (the wire) Richie aprile ( the sopranos) Francis Urquhart ( House of cards) General zod ( the proper one mentioned by section) Starscream ( transformers cartoon) Alan Bradley ( coronation street)

I haven’t posted this to take the piss. I think it’s pretty good. If you always use a certain turnstyle it’s a nice momento.

So, a young Stig?

It’s

Gold and influence. Also, Sudan provides a lot of raw ingredients and staples for food. Theres a significant export market from Sudan in wheat, flour etc. which the UAE doesn’t grow itself. Should add that the UAE are helping both sides, in theory, with alliances of sorts. The Abu Dhabi family are the biggest disruptors and have firmly planted their flag with the militia and are financing and helping them. So it’s more complicated than just the UAE as there are internal differences and disputes there as well, essentially it’s a bit of a pissing contest between cousins on who can extract most from Sudan.

Just noted that this is my 6,000th post (in this incarnation anyway). Thought I’d celebrate it by sharing a photo the wife had taken, just before she phoned me to arrange our first date. The rest, as they say, is history.

That's not true Rico. I started negging you before that, indeed that's why you called me stupid. When you appeared so sensitive to a neg I made a decision to use them more often when I see your posts. I did briefly consider reigning it yesterday as I had no rep left to uptick a post because I used them all on you. On reflection I have decided to continue negging you.
