We're a lot more tired and under a lot less pressure now tbf.

Doesn't mean he's a good owner of a football club or that he has a lot of spare capital he either wants to or can inject in to the club.

Not that much money tbf and they're owned by a moron.

Don Goodman is a clown.

Won't be sad to see Mikey Johnson go off

Absolute shit house win this

It's not about hate its just swings and round abouts. He's amazing at last ditch defending, he always has been. But there's also a lot of times where danger comes from him not being better on the ball or us having less control on the game because it's him not Ricardo there. Great example of Hamza in a nut shell just then. Sloppy pass straight to their player sets up a counter attack but then it's him that runs back and recovers. He'll always be brilliant playing on the back foot and defending in chaos and he'll always be poor helping us calmly control the game.

All of the luck we haven't had this season is literally all happening right now. This is mad.

Wilf tried so hard to miss that

Honestly I don't think it's that in this instance. It's just a Real Madrid fan taking a shot at Man City at the expense of their city rivals because Man City have an enormous amount of Barca connections. You can tell that's what it's about because he claims it isn't unprovoked

I mean that's just English football though isn't it. The vast majority of European nations have got better vocal support than English crowds.

There's something not quite right about the abuse Man City get for having "no fans." It doesn't matter whether it's coming from a Madrid fan or a fan of a smaller club, like ourselves tbh. It's uncomfortable either way. When it's the fans of the bigger clubs, I sit here thinking - oh shut up, one of the main reasons you're so "massive" is just glory supporters and commercialism. And watching Madrid fans nosh the cocks of United fans is just massively cringe ffs. When it's fans of clubs like us I just think, wtf? What do you think would happen if we got their level of success? You think hundreds of thousands of loyal, life long Leicester fans would just appear overnight? Man City either get swarmed with plastic glory supporters and get mocked or they keep a smaller fanbase and they get mocked. Can't really win, what do people expect from them? You can hate the club all you want, hate the money, whatever, but it's not the fans fault is it. The vast majority of them are proper Man City and have been since their club was a yoyo club like us.

De Rossi continues an absolutely sensational start to management.

Sometimes someone just needs to ****ing shoot tbh.

Yes absolutely. I'm not sure how sarcastic to be because I'm not sure if you're asking genuinely or if it's a loaded question because you're trying to be clever. I'll assume the best and answer sincerely - billions of people around the world enjoy alcohol, gambling, junk food, computer games, sex and myriad substances responsibly without suffering with addiction. Addiction and compulsion comes in many forms and to many forms of stimulation and I will always happily see my taxes go to help vulnerable and ill people who are going to find themselves seeking out and accessing the sources of their addiction regardless of whether they're criminal or not. And hell, if you decriminalise and regulate more substances then the corporate taxes from the sale of those substances can probably be added to my own taxes to additionally find the education and support of users so less people do find themselves spiralling in to dangerous addictions.

I'm pretty much of the opinion that if it occurs in nature and people want to cultivate it, prepare it and use it for their own private consumption then the government probably has better things to do than tell them not to do it. Whether that's tobacco, marijuana, mushrooms, etc. I'd extend that to the coca or poppy plant, personally given you're not going to find anyone out there in their own home or garden able to mass cultivate and prepare the volumes of either necessary to make dangerous or profitable quantities of cocaine or opioids. Synthetic chemical drugs is obviously a different question entirely.

Because they're pandering to a similar crowd for engagement.

Ah, shame. There's a mod for the PC version that basically gives you infinite re-specs. Lets you **** around with different builds on the same run-through.

You're a console peasant yeh?

Experience is gonna be helpful when you run in to difficult situations but it doesn't automatically give you good ideas, especially new ideas, or make you particularly inspiring or good with people or whatever else. Especially given the older you get, let's be honest, the harder it gets to relate to the young people of the day (eg footballers.) There's a lot going for a young manager with fresh motivation, good modern, progressive ideas and who has recently worked with other top managers. Xabi Alonso, Mikel Arteta and our own Enzo Maresca have all had the opportunity to work up close with literally the best coach and manager on the planet and watch and learn how he works. We've seen in Enzo what a fresh perspective, new ideas and modern thinking can get you (14pts clear in record time after a record start to the season) but we've also seen what a lack of experience can do when times are hard and things need a bit of a shake up to galvanise a squad (completely surrendering that lead.) I doubt, say, Tony Mowbray or Neil Warnock would ever in a million years have gotten Leicester playing as well as we did at the start of this season or picking up as many points. But at the same time, I also think that if Mowbray had been at the club after we bottled it and threw away a winning position at Leeds he'd probably have done a better job stabilising the squad, pressing the reset button and getting everyone confident and motivated to continue and we'd probably be ~8-9 points ahead still by now. Swings and roundabouts isn't it.

Embarrassing for Poch above all else. Imagine either not having a designated taker (which doesn't look like it's the case) or having so little authority that your players think they can fight over who gets to take it. SAF would be throwing shoes at them and sending them off to train with the u7s for the rest of the season until they grew the **** up. Pep would have them ****ing transfer listed

Yes entirely. I just ****ing hate it, it's one of the worst parts of British culture. I absolutely hate this desperate obsession with competing to greive and pay tribute the most.

So that'll be a no then

Narh, this is the horse shit. You were traumatised? I'm not surprised, it was a horrible occasion. I hope you get the help you need, regardless of who you support. But there's a big difference between being politely respectful and doing this. It's not even respectful, it's cynical. It's straight virtue signalling and exploiting the deaths of others for the attention. Why the **** do Forest need a new permanent memorial now, years after the event, years after the legal proceedings? The simple answer is they don't, it's just exploitative shit. It'd be like West Ham deciding in twenty years time they feel really bad about Vichai and wanting to put a little statue of him up at their ground. I'm not having a pop because it's Forest, I've posted on this forum many, many times that I absolutely loathe this nasty habit we have in this country of Show Grief. Everyone competing to make sure everyone else sees how much they care about a tragedy or death. It's disingenuous, self serving and ugly. I don't believe the sincerity of 99% of the Forest fans pushing for this just as I don't believe in the sincerity of the vast, vast majority of plastic Scousers that get all somber and mournful and get 97 tattoos and carve it in to their identity. I do have complete sympathy for the families and friends of the victims and I can't imagine how horrendous the tragedy was for them. But I'm sorry, calling the suggestion that the vast majority fetishise the tragedy for clout horseshit? Narh.
