Jermaine Jenas = bitter cunt

Terrible performance and we're level, have to go on and win this now. Robbo on for Trent, put Gomez at right back, put Nunez on for Gravenberch.

Absolute gift!

Had no idea Chelsea were playing until I saw the posts on here. They're losing at home again. Delighted to see their gradual slide back into their pre-oligarch mediocrity. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving set of bastards.

Cunha is a good player, carries the ball really well. He makes Darwin look like Van Nistelrooy though.

Thought he was shite on Wednesday, kept screeching about the penalty shouts for Chelsea, especially annoying when the first was never a penalty. "There's contact for me there, Fletch." Yeah, because Gallagher ran into Van Dijk. Fool.

Richarlison curls one in from 25 yards and McCoist is wanking Maddison off over a basic piece of skill and a toe poke pass any pub footballer could pull off. "The finish is equal if not better." Wut?

Hehe

The Tyrone Cafu!

Mac Allister putting in as good a midfield performance as you're ever going to see. Conor Bradley is the real deal.

That's a Footy Manager result. You can almost see the laptop being chucked out the window

I won't say it feels like a death in the family as I'm all too familiar with that feeling and saying it about a man I've never met is a bit too melodramatic (for me, other people are entitled to their own feeling). It does, however, feel like a really good mate moving away and knowing he is never coming back. Can't help but think about all those special moments (Dortmund, Barcelona, no. 6, no. 19, battering United repeatedly, beating Everton in the cup with a team of children haha) and feeling things will never have that same magic again, no matter who comes in. As has been said, you can replace the coach, but you can never replace the man. Love the man to bits and hope he can find the rest and normalcy he is looking for. No one deserves it more.

Okay

It said Don Goodman at the start. He does sound bitter enough to be Hinchcliffe though.

Don Goodman Whoever the fuck he is

We were never going to sign anybody. If Abu Dhabi don't splash out to beef up their thin-ish squad, that's the best we could have hoped for from this window.

It still blows my mind Hodgson lead England to the bottom of a World Group, somehow kept his job and then they promptly went on to be knocked out by Iceland in the following Euros, and all with his reputation intact. Especially considering Eriksson and Capello, in particular, were being lined up to get the Wicker Man for doing substantially better jobs. Pays to have friends in the press, I suppose.

Different rules’: special policies keep US supplying weapons to Israel despite alleged abuses https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/18/us-supply-weapons-israel-alleged-abuses-human-rights

Apropos of nothing 'Doctors have been instructed by Israel’s health ministry not to speak with UN representatives investigating the Hamas attacks on 7 October. Members of the UN independent international commission of inquiry, in areas including East Jerusalem and Israel, had been contacting senior physicians and hospital staff who treated the 7 October victims, requesting information and interviews for its investigation into potential war crimes committed since 7 October' (Taken from the Guardian's live feed).

Prepare yourself to be disappointed.

I've been in Brazil for the last few weeks, seen plenty of Abu Dhabi shirts over here unfortunately. Sheep, erm I mean people, like winners, even if they are cheating cunts.

Classic

JermainePennant One of the most clueless morons ever to pass through here.

No no, it's because they hate our freedoms. Herp

Smoking his own farts, more like. He's a really, really shit pundit who thinks he's far smarter than he actually he is. Plus, he's a bitter bastard.
