Leeds excelling in the cup again

Donald, is that you?

We don't realise how lucky we are with the FA Cup when you look at other countries' cup competitions. There are very few sports, let alone football competitions, where big boys are routinely humbled as they are in the FA Cup. Every year it injects a bit of genuine drama and joy into an increasingly boring, sterile and aloof sport, and any fan, Leicester or otherwise, who states that they don't care if their club progresses should pack up and go and find another hobby.

Paradoxically surely the Europa League is a cup

Is their right back wearing eye liner?

I wonder what the record is for most players with the same surname in an English match

Are Wrexham the Guinness of football?

I refuse to believe there are people who don't find Ryan Reynolds and his corny persona incredibly irritating. But I think the ambivalence towards Wrexham probably comes more from the documentary and what this represents about modern football more than the on field success itself. This is then compounded by the fact that anytime you express scepticism towards the project you are met with a million comments from centrist dads reminding you what Rob and Ryan have done for the community mate yeah?

Ok just me then 😂

Proof perhaps of how shallow football fans are that I can't dislike Wesley Fofana despite his misdemeanours just because he played very well for us.

Sounds awful, my heart bleeds

We're living in a rubbish late 90s dystopian thriller starring Uma Thurman

I think people underestimate how insane the UK seems from abroad

England being the epicenter of Islamic extremism has been a bit of a meme for a while

There seems to be a culture of throwing women under the bus in the name of diversity in the UK. I dont think we should pat ourselves on the back just because we're better than e.g Pakistan.

Going back to the discussion on previous pages, our culture is superior when it comes to protecting women? https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/serial-rapist-metropolitan-police-officer-allowed-join-force-5HjdQNh_2/

Going to read Donald Trump quotes in the voice of Nigel Pearson now to amuse myself

Is it Nigel Pearson?

MC Prussian got me dishing out rep points to Leicsmac, didn't expect this in 2026

Maresca was right about him being the best English striker of his generation

everything is just vibes

I think the key thing with the Guinness marketing is the down-to-earth, communal Irishness of it. That it's an earthier and more authentic pint than anything else produced by huge multinational alcoholic bev companies. That why 'shit London Guinness' was clever - the implication that soulless Anglo pubs in the big bad global London couldn't pull a pint like O'Donoghue's back home, which is ironic when you think that there is very little in the beer world more globalised and lacking character than Guinness and the "Irish pub".

Great guy and as an aside Wales had some great kits in the 70s

An iconic figure from that great early Premiership era when the first foreign players were starting to come in and it really could be described as the most entertaining league in the world.
