Best laugh for a while.

And lord, did we need one. Thanks, Ev.

I can retrospectively view his performance on the night of the test event in a new light. Several people pointed out he looked like he'd had a few Erdingers. I thought he had the demeanour of a man with better things to be doing with his evening but felt an obligation to put on a show. I think he's reached that tipping point.

I remember the euphoria when he became manager. No way anyone could live up to those expectations, right? Instead, he exceeded them. All I can say is:

Fixed that for you.

I'll carefully consider a sensible and worthwhile post to start off.

Don't do that, you'll be rumbled immediately.

We’d just come from a goal down to beat Fulham and given ourselves a great chance of reaching a cup final, and this cunt rings up Talksport just to tell everyone that Nunez is shit and should be sold because he can’t score. I lost it, I’m driving home on my own yelling at the radio at the top of my voice “FUCK OFF YOU STUPID CUNT. I HOPE YOU DIE. GO AND SUPPORT CITY AND SUCK ON HAALAND’S BALLS YOU PIECE OF SHIT”. Two weeks on, I regret nothing. I stand by every word. If you’d put him in front of me at that moment I’d have run him over. Put him in front of me now and I’d struggle to bring myself to swerve out of the way

I heard Barry Glendenning say on the radio on Sunday “I don’t think there is anybody who could dislike Conor Coady is there?”. I nearly crashed the fucking car, shouting “Yeah there is, I fucking hate him!”.

You need to take the bus.

Dave will be insufferable. I am glad.

Opinion on VAR is split into two camps. 

 

Those who think it is more important to get a decision correct. Those who think it's more important to enjoy the sport.

There is a third camp, to whom I will leave it to Upton Sincliair to describe: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” I'm not being flippant. The recording of the Odegaard handball was most revealing, by which I mean...there were two of them! Two of them, and they agreed with each other that it wasn't a penalty! If you picked at random from every Arsenal fan on the planet, you'd have to do it a million times to find two who thought that wasn't handball, yet we have two officials who are paid to get this right who got it wrong. As Mook points out, we've had over four years of lived experience to see it can't be relied on to fix mistakes. For the reason why this can't be acknowledged, I refer you to the aforementioned Mr Sinclair.

When did you start feeling too old for the Kop?

"Cadbury is axing its struggling Biarritz brand to make way for Darkness". This was in 1996. Because of course.

Mark Carney, eh? County Road stretching as far as the Northwest Territories.

Villa are second, so the Brick's having a welcome party for their fans with special guest Elton Welsby. He'll be handing out leaflets about PL corruption before giving a talk about how the small clubs need to stick together.

By which he means the likes of Villa and their ilk need to band together to support a classy and dignified big club, who classily and dignifitally have the interests of the small clubs at heart. Unless there is a TV deal which involves the Big Five reaping all the benefits, in which case the small clubs can fuck right off.

The people on twitter taking it seriously and complaining about a BBC journalist saying it really need to grow up.  He's allowed be a fan of a club and have all the petty hates we football fans have.  If he has a burner account where he can vent like the rest if us then good for him.  He's screwed up by posting it from his work account, but just let it die.  It's a nothing issue.  

You're no fun. I'm sure Phil McNulty can separate the personal from the professional and have no issue with him being himself on a sock puppet account. Heck, the 'Phil McNulty' account could reasonably viewed as the fake one. However, the towering self-regard displayed in those tweets since he has been caught out deserve - nay, demand - ridicule.

It was because of Heysel, Collina, Clive Thomas, the Sly 6, FFP being rigged to protect the elite and Corruption. 

Absolute cunts.

As always, the cover up is worse than the crime. If he had held his hands up and said my bad, everyone would have had a good laugh and forgotten about it within hours. Instead he is now trapped in a lie and you are left wondering: what else is he lying to us about?

I wonder how they're taking another win for the redshite despite being a goal down.

 

With a simple shrug of the shoulders I bet.

Nunez is the unluckiest player ever and that's coming from someone who isn't a fanboy.

I'd like to get a fanboy take, can anyone direct me to one?

My wife thinks the slot where the drip tray on the coffee maker goes into the machine connects to a pipe that drains the tray. That's the only explanation for why she never, ever, empties it. No amount of liquid flowing out of the tray seems to make the penny drop. See also: the congealed gunk on the milk frother. She makes a super cup of tea though.

I know hes the boss and all that but I think its a bit embarrassing. Like saying Man'ure and all that shite.

It's like Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes. You have to commit.

One instance of a typo in Ben Shite's name. You're welcome.
