Didn't I say this Spanish side are way underrated and that Croatia are overrated?

Spain have been much better, they look quality to be fair.

God I agree. For some reason all the English football hipsters gluck gluck on Croatias dong. Probably because they beat England in the WC

What is it with Liverpool players taking the piss? Sturridge, Nabby both severely unprofessional. 

I think the game was a classic 'this is why Fullkrug MUST start' kinda game. Lots of ball, lots of threats, not enough teeth. Very pretty but lacking cutting edge. 

Barcelona and corruption? No fucking way

Go on son, back to your level.

He's a violent rapist, no club should want anything to do with him.

Russia, China, bigger easter european clubs Prague, Zagreb, Shakhtar are all options. North Italy?

Lord. Imagine the 3-0 not being enough. Gutting. Sorry Tommy that must hurt.

You're right. Why can't you face 3 awful teams in a row in the knock outs (beating one without their star player only from a dodgy AF penalty in extra time) to be then comfortably beaten pillar to post by the other finalist until the guy who's rocking your shit gets injured and goes off, so you lose on pens. It'll definitely happen again. 

England supporters in a fugue state. Your squad isn't that good, positionally riddled with weak points, and you don't have a coach who can cover them. You're going home in the 1st or 2nd knock out round.

Yeah, Corbyn was an excellent legislator but unfortunately a bad politiker, the dumbass killed his chances a decade (literally I think it happened in 2009) before running when he mindlessly referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as his 'mates' (as if it bloody matters).

Same with Bill Shorten, he would have been mad.

Shortens list of policies freakishly foreshadows the challenges the nation would come to face over the next 4-7 years. It's mental.

Yeah that’s the most direct action of voting, and the most rational. The only problem is that once you step outside of the two party system, voting like that tends to favour the party the relies the most on political apathy, usually the party with the most media support and in the case of the UK, that’d be the Tories. 

Imagine what a difference, and fuck it'd be HUGE, if Corbyn got 2-3 terms, and his policies (the list of which are tried and tested in other nations and are very successful) were implemented. But no, "HE'S A COMMUNIST, HE HATES MY CAR AND HATES JEWS".

Yeah I can definitely see why people will vote Labour to get rid of the Tories. If there's a genuine left alternative standing where I am I'll vote them. Considering Greens but I just see them as middle class/student types that I can't really relate with even though I'd probably agree with a lot of their policies.

I don't get how people don't vote like this. 

Stop worrying about who has charisma
Stop worrying about the mud other slides have slung
Stop worrying about optics. 

Go to the websites of each party you're considering, look at their mission, and the individual policies and promises they're making, have a quick look at the local candidates too, then fucking vote based on whos policies benefit YOU and the nation the most. 

This is how awful governments get and stay in power. People too worried about white noise and feedback.

Being honest on 4 occasions it could have been different. Twice Liverpool took it to the last day and for 2 seasons on the bounce Arsenal have thrown it away.

I don't think it going down to the last day is a saving grace. The best teams are still outrageously far ahead of the middle pack, and the gap is growing, because FFP slaps down any financial boosts that would close it.

"40 points for safety" There are 4 teams on less than 30 points.
Teams used to win the league with 70 something or 80 something points. City will go over 90 to win the league (again). 
The divide between the top teams and the middle table and yo yo teams has never been higher, the league has never felt more plastic. What's the fucking point anymore? Everyone supports the same 5 teams, money, the FA, UEFA and FIFA have butchered the game with their tokenistic financial regulations and lack of support to clubs that aren't shoveling cash into their throats. 

Man City, EPL champions for the 9th time in 13 seasons. Bayern Munich, 11 time champions in 14 seasons. PSG 10 out of 12. Juventus won 9 in a row recently, though ironically Italy and Spain have been saved from outright monopoly by gross incompetence and corruption from the teams who stood to easily dominate. 

Good luck Doodledwarf!

Ah yeah fair, a team who finished 17pts behind another deserve to go up over them because they've been grinding it out for years? Same team that's been up and down from the PL more times than a whore's drawers, and only relegated in 2021?

Yeah, ok. Good example.

So you deserve to go up when you couldn't finish top 2 with the 2nd most cash and the 2nd best squad? Then YOU get to be the yo yo team, which is okay, but not okay for West Brom?

Sit down and enjoy your cheap matchday tickets for another season son.

Think it'll be an absolute travesty for West Brom or Norwich to go up having finished so far behind. Could take maybe 7-8pts ahead of them both and losing out but 15-17pts gap is massive. 

I'll be jealous if it's Southampton because but if it is them, at least they only finished 3pts behind and they did the double over us. You can tolerate that a bit more.

I think the only fans that will probably want us to win them will be Portsmouth, simply because they'll be licking their lips at the thought of the South Coast derby returning next season.

You entitled little cunt hahahaha. You come down with permier league players, fail to beat Ipswich to the punch and you think a team like West Brom who's been grinding in the champo for years don't deserve to go up? I hope you fumble the fuck outa this.

Such a Real Madrid finish. Scum a sweaty goal from a miracle, score a late winner, then the equalizer is wrongly flagged offside in live play and it gets swept under the carpet and you move on.

oh fuck off @6666

Tories getting another hammering. I keep seeing people say Sunak isn't going to call an election until the latest time because why would he call one when his party is 20% behind in the polls? I find it a weird take. Unless it comes out that Starmer is a literal paedophile or something with photo evidence then the polls aren't going to get any better for the Tories over the next few months. People have made up their minds. It's in their own interests to get it over with and start to rebuild. But they're morons so they probably genuinely do think they can turn it around. All the while the country decays.

Like many, I have no great enthusiasm for Starmer but Labour will clearly be a hundred times better than the current shower. It has disappointed me how safe Starmer has gone on a few key issues. The immigration stuff, Gaza, the green stuff. I got it early days when he had to stave off the links to the toxic Corbyn brand but over the past 18 months or so since the Tories properly imploded, he's had a lot more headroom to be principled and risk upsetting some of the Daily Mail types without risking much but he still seems scared of doing so.

Literally Australias 2019 election problem. The Labor candidate presented ideas that were good, significant, and would cause the nation to develop for the better. Of course this threatened the status quo and he was buried in an avalanche of muck by the media, just like Corbyn. So next election they ran a safe election with boring mild policy changes catered to offend no one but do less. You get what you vote for.

That was class from Fullkrug. 

Never forget, he didn't start a single game at the WC but was Germanys best performer. 

Recently Bastian Schweinsteiger said that Guardiolas influence on the Bayern team carried over into the Germany national team and everything became overly focused on simply retaining the ball and completing passes, which has haunted the national team ever since. 8 years of punching air because one of the best national teams in the world plays aimless ball retention while talent like Fullkrug warms the bench.
