  1. It tasted exactly like that when I had it, was horrible
  2. The worst thing about that kit is the collar. I'll probably buy the away one, prefer that
  3. Have you eaten haggis? It's just meat overloaded with pepper
  4. Haggis is rotten
  5. Has to be Rice with Bellingham and Foden ahead.
  6. I could get behind Cavill, too obvious but a good switch from least obvious lol
  7. Doesn’t really look like a Bond imo but then neither did Daniel Craig
  8. Ill watch it again when im less angry lol, but it looked like the keeper was barely impeded and a 50/50 coming together. Its happened a lot recently, Liverpool, West Ham and now Burnley.
  9. Came across that he wasn’t focusing on the games he has now. But fair. It’s just a difficult point of the season, 8 months out, relatively little support going forward, down to ten men in a team that’s missing 7 starters from the starting eleven. His goal record has been good since coming back. The international break couldn’t come at a better time. Mbeumo should be ready to start on the otherside of it and maybe, just maybe we might see some key players return from injury.
  10. Referee has fucked us over. That’s 2-2 and the silly cunts wont even go to VAR. Their keeper has jumped and flapped for a ball, missed it, and then jumped into Toney as much as Toney jumped to him. No foul. Wankers.
  11. I’ve never really hated any player we’ve signed under Benham, but I smelt it from the beginning with Reguillon. Playing him is like giving a blindman keys to the bus down Oxford Street.
  12. I hope to god Atletico shithouse their way to the final.
  13. He didn’t need to be a goalscorer to have a massive impact for England, his running on and off the ball was integral to how we played. But he scored 3 goals at the Euros which is a good record for most players
  14. Who’s gunna buy the houses Ben, fucking Aquaman?
  15. Tim Sherwood, Paul Merson, in the same bracket of pundits where you wonder how theyve got a job
  16. It's a shame that Raheem Sterling's England career seems to be coming to an end. He was a stand-out player in all of the youth sides he played in, someone who genuinely excited you to watch. Went on to have two massive tournaments for England in 2018 and 2020 (2021) where he was our second best attacking player at both tournaments. Completely integral to how Southgate had England playing and he managed to step-up in a time where we lacked options on the wing. Those two tournaments have arguably been the best I've experienced in my lifetime for England, Sterling was integral to all of that. He will definitely go down as an England legend and I hope he can move on from Chelsea and re-ignite the final stages of his career as he is still a quality player.
  17. The last two seasons our injuries have been okay, we've had them, but not to an unmanageable level. This season is just crazy.
  18. Who knows how we improve next season, you can never really tell with our ownership. But I would say the main thing we would focus on is having strength in depth and probably adding more pace to the squad. Kevin Schade has been injured for 6 months and counting, Henry the whole season, Hickey 5 months and counting, Dasilva the whole season, Mbeumo three months, Ben Mee most of the season, Damsgaard 3 months, Lewis-Potter about 2 months, Ajer a month, new january signing Yunus Emre Konak instantly out till the Summer and then of course Toney's suspension and Wissa, Frank and Ghoddos' AFCON/ASIA Cup. What has been made very clear is thar without Henry, Schade, Mbeumo and Dasilva we have no pace and no direct attack. Lewis-Potter and Wissa can be thrown into that too, but Wissa is a very much a number 9 and Lewis-Potter has suffered so many injuries since joining it's difficult to get consistency from him. At mostly full strength, without Toney, and of course taking into the occasional injuries you may suffer in a 1-2 month period, we have a team that could easily fight for midtable and try to slip in for the Conference League spot should anyone above have a bad season and the Premier League get awarded an extra Champions League spot. That was my hope this season, and honestly until around early December we looked good for that. We had performed really well, were taking results and just had a couple of games where freak incidents gave points away for us. But with the consistency we built the team was going in the right direction. What has become unmanagable almost is the scale of injuries that we have suffered and the pace of the team completely shattered. We can sit back deep, defend well and then hit teams directly with Mbuemo, Dasilva and Schade on the pitch. Then you have Wissa who is still pacy and was scoring goals, you have Lewis-Potter who can grow into the wing position. But since losing the pace we have largely played a back 5 with no wingers. Improvement next season has to be in making sure even when we lose players, we still have pace across the squad. And then of course it's just trying to improve the first eleven with good signings.
  19. Is there a league thats actually got VAR spot on since its introduction? Or close to? I feel like the Hawkeye nature of it was great, specifically call an offside, especially the automatic offsides. But dont take the piss with everything else
  20. We have just come out of a run of games that has included Spurs, Man City x2, Liverpool and Arsenal and it went as badly as you'd expect it to. Still without 6 of our starting eleven, still without any degree of pace going forward which is why we've looked so bad in attack against the teams we've just played. The plus side is that we should have Bryan Mbeumo back for the United game, at least that's what we're hoping for. If we get him back then it's a game changer as we can actually hit teams on the counter. We now get to play Burnley, United, Brighton, Villa, Sheffield United, Luton Town, Everton, Fulham, Bournemouth and Newcastle. A couple of games we should expect to win there, looking specifically at Burnley, Sheffield United and Fulham. Then you have sides like Luton and Everton who should technically be winnable but it'll be difficult to take a result away at Goodison Park and Kenilworth Road. Then you have the rest, Brighton, United, Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle. Teams who have performed well for periods this season but ultimately they can be up and down. I think 15 points is salvageable out of that, hopefully we can get players like Schade, Hickey, Pinnock and Mbeumo back into the team and I think the closer we get to full strength the more likely we are to put in a good run of performances towards the end to veer away from what is the current bottom 3 and then Nottingham Forest.
