The one-liners and puns, eurgh. Make it stop

Was funny after we'd taken Nige & Co back off them, their Egyptian owner was trying to change the Club's official name to "Hull City Tigers" and had been riled losing his manager. They came out with a statement like "only clubs from lowly prestigious places call themselves City, we want to call Tigers."..... and there we were as Leicester City with Leicester Tigers closeby.

They tore us to shreds at their place early season before the collapse, scored a really nice goal or two. This looks far more likely to be Boro

Won both coin tosses aswell. Had our end and got to shoot first. Inept. Common theme of late, miserable.

AI seems to think it'll be this.

Do like abit of Mizuno. Shame about the betting sponsor proliferation.

Toney has fantastic stats this season, know it's in Saudi but alot of players this WC are playing Club football there. 32 goals, 32 games, 7 assists. Big physical presence, links up play, finishes, been playing in a desert country for 2 years so should be better acclimatised than most. Was looking through it then and found out who Mexico have as a striker, also in the Saudi League, top scorer there, Columbian born. Interesting.

Understood that, it's just clear now that he'll never make it into an England tournament squad. He might aswell stick the kilt on, down a bottle of Irn Bru and start playing the bagpipes - go play in the World Cup Harvey, once in a lifetime opportunity gone - they actually have a very good midfield, he'd add a great dynamic to them. Their match against Brasil could be iconic, although likely played out in 33c heat and 75% humidity.

Would think that's Harvey Barnes' last chance of an English World Cup then. Suprised he hasn't pulled out a haggis at the last moment just to go.

I'll only complain if it goes tits up. Let him cook.

Game Over. Comparisons to where we were a few years ago. Fair to Villa they've got a nice ground, well supported aswell, won in Europe before. Have a subsect of proper strange fans, but who doesnt really? Think our Club needs to improve the stadium somehow, project in the works seemingly up in smoke, needs to happen when/if we progress.

They're seething

Gibbs-White surely goes with his stats. Him and Callum Hudson-Odoi, unfortunately, all the way through their youth development were considered very very highly in the England set-up. Gibbs-White producing fantastic stats now too, and hey if he has a good Tourney a bigger Club than Spuds might come in to take him from Forest this summer. Surely Bowen doesn't go. Questions over Foden & Palmer, bad seasons but both very highly rated. Sometimes it's about getting the mix right rather than the best on paper.

Ah well, least it ain't Forest pmsl

Don't be silly

Feels weird the Final of this being on a Wednesday, always associate this competition with Thursday.

Something about that Watford away(0-1) goal for me. Critical moment of the season, tight game, ball on the edge of the box, man marked, rolls the ball into a sliver of space and crashes it into the top corner. Que deliriant celebrations. Last minute Huddersfield FK was good. Champion Prem season quickfire equaliser against Spurs 1-1, jugular vein bulging out of his neck. Clearly an intelligent lad and a cool cat to boot. Gave us a season more than he probably could've done, although I think we went to lengths signing players like Slimani to keep him interested. Would've been great to see him on the right wing when we were flying under Rodgers but hey ho, Riyad won a Champions League and a litany of major medals.

Get the sense you dont want to mess with Middlesboro's Chairman. It was him who got Derby flushed too. Tone deaf from Southampton, entitled. They cheated to get to where they are, that's admitted but then to whine about missing out on the opportunity brought about by cheating? Stupid, they should've taken a step back and digested the ruling before making a statement in that manner. Hopefully that'll bugger them up for a while.

Maddison showing that he cares C'mon send them down

Please, somehow, relegate Spurs.

Madders hesitating there. Could've hit it earlier

Thought when Man City beat Arsenal last month they were overcooking their celebrations. Can see Arsenal getting stronger from here. Man U due a resurgence. Man C will fade post Pep. Chelsea continue to be a basket case. Liverpool still capable of competing. It'll be a while until a blue team wins the Prem again

Commentator on this feed I've got on is completely losing his voice

So much dodginess around the Qatar WC in regards to Argies & Leo. Every game bar one at the main stadium, penalties on demand, red cards ignored(ball booted into Netherlands bench), event organiser making a statement before the event that it would be an injustice if Messi never won a WC. The preluding Messi leaving Barça for Qatar FC(PSG) events. Whole thing stank tbh. Although I also things were laid out on a golden platter for France in 2018, but not as blatant.
