Pungkoq Hang

Heh, wasn't having a go mind you. Just that when he was on the pitch you could set your watch to him conceding a free kick just outside of our penalty box in the 88th min while we were defending a one goal lead. EVERY.SINGLE,GAME. Momo Sissoko (before that freak eye injury) he ain't, now that's a destroyer. Oh, and that miss against Boro still giving me nightmares all these years. How the fuck did he not score that?

Giving silly free kicks in dangerous areas towards the arse-end of matches?

Off tangent I know but is Fat Ashley still going to games in their ground, or is he persona non grata now?

Big Dom hasn't done his hammy, does he? Saw him clutching his hamstring as he trudged off the field.

Dr. Mangele here.

Endo is peanuts by today's standard. A designated squad filler at most, to slot in midfield for the cup and Yooofa League games and giving the likes of Szobo and Mac a rest. lt's looking every bit an inspired signing at the moment and I am a bit anxious now that we are going to lose him to the Asian Cup. When's young Bajcetic will be fit?

Palhinha would cost crazy money, 60 mil plus to even get Fulham to pick up the phone. Add 30 mil to that if you're the Mancs. Still, a cracking player.

I like the (low)cut of Rebekka's jib.

Closet Evertonian. Flog him to the headchoppers NOW!

Declan fackin' Rice. Worth every penny the amount of cash they splashed on him. A whole world of difference compared to the other jabronis that used to turn up in the middle of the park for them (Xhaka, Elneny).

Baldy started this hybrid MF/ inverted fullback thingy with Cancelo (first iteration I believe, no?), and look where he is now. They have Stones and Ake doing that role currently and they are not exactly pulling up any trees in the league at the moment (though long may it continue).

This, this and many times this. No new additions to the sick bay, badly needed minutes for the youngins and a nicely taken goal by young Jarrell. Virgil-esque I'd say. Sort of a baptism of fire too for Doak, Gordon, Chambers et al. Union clearly are no mugs, sitting top of table in the Belgian league. The home crowd could sense the possibility of their team claiming a famous scalp was very much on the cards and their players fed off that energy. How the fuck was that not a foul on Curtis for their opener? Methinks all the (largely unpunished) waist-grabbing and wrestle-to-the-floor moves Wilf Hughes did on our midfielders last weekend clearly influenced the officials. Also, no drawing of the offside lines in the VAR review for the Europa?

Am I the only one who's kind of made up that Brown Jenkin will miss the game? Fucker can definitely pick a pass and even in the recent hammerings the threat of Rashford whether from the left wing or central running into those lofted passes against our high line were always evident.

Yeah, had Salah missed (IMO without the deflection it would have gone wide) that'd be a second yellow for Ward and a second bite of the cherry for him via the resulting penalty. Strangely enough not talked about by any of the commentators during and after the match. Liverpool bias my arse. Speaking of Salah, he rarely puts his laces through when attempting a shot at goal does he? Always looking to place a shot rather then going for power. The only exceptions I can recall are the thunderbastards against the Mancs (that ricochet off McTominay) and Chelsea many moons ago.

Diaz ignoring Tsimikas for the umpteenth time is starting to piss me off.

Mark Gonzalez is the answer to your prayers. Blistering pace and fuck all else. Wait, he's still playing isn't he?

Out for months with a knee ligament injury according to the Graun. Normal service resumed. Fuckety fuck.

Whisper it quietly but Trent has dealt with Doku pretty well this half.

Nossuh massuh. And why, pray tell, do you reckon that I'm wrong Reckoner?

I thought cult heroes are for the Biscans and Meijers of this universe? Not a 60mil plus marquee signing

Aptly put. Not scum or ManUre, or some other shite, elegant in its vitriolic simplicity. Repped if I could.

IMO it's got to do with the new-fangled balls the likes of Adidas and Nike are churning out instead of players' abilities though. I could be wrong though but I recall in the 90's there were quite a few goals scored from direct free kicks in any given weekend in major European leagues. Now they are rarer then hen's teeth. It all started with that damn Jabulani though, read somewhere the players acclimatising prior to the tournament complained that it was like kicking one of them plastic beach inflatable contraptions instead of a 200+ dollar ball for use in Fifa's flagship [s] {money-making exercise} [/s] tournament.

Deffo would, Irreversible-style.
