'Bah!' to the kick off times in The Women's World Cup.

I can no longer manage 2am / 3.30am / 6am kick offs. :'(

"A Communist takeover is slyly being implemented."

If you said Matt Le Tissier was a thick cunt, that'd be offensive... to thick cunts.

Post by **dng** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 8:37 pm

Yes. At least the evening games are about 10am to midday

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jul 06, 2023 8:41 pm

Okay then, Women's World Cup. I'll settle for that...

i don't know if all football is now just a series of fouls and fights and dives and timewasting, but it certainly feels like it

If he doesn't sell that club in the next 42 days, there ought to be a compulsory purchase order or summat put on the club. These things matter to the community.

Post by **dng** » Wed Jul 12, 2023 8:36 pm

Well, yeah. This has been going on forever. I don’t understand how you’re allowed to run a business without paying staff for months on end. You should be closed down and then fucked off to jail for being a thief

Jordan Henderson agrees huge contract with Al-Ettifaq after talks with Klopp

https://www.theguardian.com/football/20 ... rgen-klopp

FFS Henderson, isn't £200,000 a week, enough? Do you really need to take their filthy lucre, rather than sod off to the MLS or China or summat?

Post by **dng** » Thu Jul 13, 2023 7:52 pm

Yes. This seems extra depressing in that Henderson's been one of the few vocal good nice footballers recently (along with rashford). But I suppose wearing rainbow armbands 3 times a season while he plays for england is enough and now he can go to saudi arabia with his head held high

Post by **dng** » Thu Jul 13, 2023 7:53 pm

his head held high

oblique "henderson looks like a horse" joke

Post by **dng** » Thu Jul 13, 2023 7:57 pm

i mean i suppose no one's surprised when a charisma free dullard like gerrard goes there. maybe henderson's just always been a big fan of [random saudi arabian team no one has ever heard of before]

Oh, I agree with your point, but neither are as horrific as Saudi Arabia.

I've only just caught up with that Dele Alli story - bloody hell!

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:41 pm

I had a dream about Sam Allardyce, and in the dream I couldn't remember if he'd actually managed England in a competitive match, and I couldn't recall whether he'd been sacked or had resigned. In the dream, I kept asking family, friends, and strangers about his England tenure, but noone knew the TRUTH!

What a bloody waste of a dream state that was!

Post by **dng** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:42 pm

That was no dream

Post by **dng** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:43 pm

It’s all part of the grand allardyce conspiracy

Say what you like about Hitler, he never got a team relegated from the premier league

Very true. Also, not many people know that his maniacal performances at Nazi rallies were largely based on witnessing Peter Reid and Bobby Saxton's half time team talks when their team was a couple of goals down.

I was just looking through the fixtures for the Women's World Cup, and some of the matches are going to be horribly one sided, which I don't think does anyone any good.

England - Haiti
USA - Vietnam
Switzerland - Philippines

I hope I'm wrong, though.

So he's off then.

Mbappé's for sale.

I found the Denmark / China game a rather dull watch, tbh.

Just stand their looking glum as he lines up with their two other contracted players

Maybe Mbappe could buy Southend pier.

Why's he bought a pier?!? Nobody knows!
