Really pleases me that that dickhead Harwood Bellis misses out

Correct decision or not, it's a goal that pretty much sums up everything I dislike about top-tier English football at the moment. Almost every single player crowding the box, everyone's pushing and shoving and it's followed by a contentious decision that takes 6 minutes to reach. And that's not even the end of it. Then you get experts, pundits, everyone and anyone on X zooming in on still images, finding all sorts of slo-mo angles, pixelated clips, and other clips to show the inconsistency not only this season but also going back to previous seasons. And it's the same week after week. It does my head in. I know football has always been a physical sport, but for me, it's reached a point where the physical grappling followed by the micro analysis of every tiny detail has become a bigger talking point than the actual high-quality football. It's why the first leg of PSG-Bayern was so refreshing to watch. I really miss watching players like Fabregas, Silva, De Bruyne, Hazard etc. lighting up the PL.

In Denmark, my hometown club Aarhus GF are on the way to their first title in 40 years. Just need one win in the last two games and currently leading 2-0 away at Steve Cooper’s Brøndby.

Interesting draft lottery from a Sharks perspective! Excited to see who they'll go for

Wasn’t it the Grealish one that did his ACL that really did Ricky in? I think the challenge you’re referring to happened after that. And you’re right, Morton didn’t get a red.

God look at that Arsenal lineup. What an uninspiring front three. It’s like that meme of the three dragons. From Kvara, Dembele, Doue and Diaz, Kane, Olise… to the table-topping Premier League side turning up with Martinelli, Gyokeres and Madueke.

This is by a distance the best match I’ve watched this season. No towels, no long throws, no 22 idiots in the box pushing and shoving. Just so refreshing to see compared to the premier league, and a completely different sport than LCFC

Bruins getting absolutely battered

Given the catastrophic run of events, I guess you could argue that these first successful years under Top mostly happened because the foundations for a successful business were more or less set by all the good people we had at the club. Regarding Maresca, I think they got lucky. And even then, we almost managed to balls it up with the most expensive squad ever.

@Libertine perhaps you could work your magic on another Winks-182 classic “Down”?

Still can’t get over that sub. We never thought Praet ON Iheanacho OFF would be topped but I think it just might have

That’s on Rowett for killing the momentum! Take off the best player and the only one everyone likes and replace him with public enemy no.1. Absolute madness

Luke Thomas is so shit

Really unlucky for PD20 there. Brilliant touch to set up the shot
