Exactly what they deserve for daring to beat southend 5-2 in the Anglo Italian cup group stage in 1993

[endar]

The Anglo-Italian cup was my favourite part of the season in Championship Manager on the Amiga

[blombluss]

I seem to recall that highlights of Anglo-Italian cup matches consisted solely of goals, violent play, and sendings off.

Bring it back, I say!

[dng]

yes. whenever we went it would be either a mad goal fest or a0-0 draw with seven sendings off. and all in front of a crowd of about 77

[blombluss]

Ha, I'd forgotten about the huge crowds.

[dng]

Red Bull Leeds. Urgh

RB Leeds
R Bleeds

Arse bleeds

My best post ever

[blombluss]

Until your next post!

[dng]

Urgh, real madrid

After the first 20 minutes or so, there was a chilling inevitability to it, wasn't there?

[dng]

i like the way that after going 3-0 up in by halftime in a champions league final and losing, ancelotti has decided that the best way to win it is to play like absolute shit for the first 45 minutes instead, thus ensuring inevitable victory

[blombluss]

England beat the 22 players of both Bosnia AND Herzegovina tonight, which is impressive. I didn't watch it, though, as I was watching the C4 sitcom We Are Lady Parts 'bout a Muslim punk band.

[dng]

i watched the second half. i'm not sure why

[dng]

oh no poor old man city, picked on all their life

In another claim forming part of the suit, City are taking aim at the league’s voting rules. The requirement that 14 of 20 clubs must vote in favour of any proposal in order for it to be adopted has long been hailed as one of the competition’s strengths, meaning that clubs must align behind any change before it is implemented. According to the Times, however, City’s suit claims the voting system preserves “the tyranny of the majority”.

As utter shite as the Premier League are, they've got to take down Man City asap, otherwise English football will be controlled by the Middle East.

[dng]

The premier league need to lure them into a new super league and then turn off the lights and run away

[blombluss]

"Kevin De Bruyne has stated he may consider leaving Manchester City because of the “incredible money” on offer in Saudi Arabia, in a potential move that would be a blow to the Premier League champions."

The poor lamb currently has to scrape by on a measly £400,000 a week. :'(

[dng]

This is all because Labour might tax his kids private school fees

[dng]

that comment not quite the pointless non sequitur it looks like in that in the article I read earlier he said he had to think of whats best for his children "who ever only ever known england", which made it seem kind of ominous how potentially corrupted by that experience they might have been

[blombluss]

Maybe he's moving his family to Saudi to escape the grip of ITV4?

[blombluss]

I'd forgotten the Euros start on the 14th - yuss! That'll help me cope with the election!

[dng]

sounds like southend are finally going out of business

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ar ... 5510lj88jo

then again it always sounds like southend are finally going out of business, so who knows

[dng]

oh god

https://www.theguardian.com/football/ar ... mes-in-usa

just fuck off, premier league chairmen

[endar]

Even John Henry is against the idea, surprisingly

although he's probably too busy playing his iRacing to care

[dng]

The only time I've ever seen John Henry speak was when he was apologising about wanting to join the super league and he looked and sounded like that animatronic corpse that was used to electrocute people on the today today that time

Bloody hell england are dismal

[richschnauzer]

pisss

what is point of Southgate?

fuck off Southgate.

fuck off Southgate

[dng]

Never should have dropped Jordan Henderson

[blombluss]

I recorded the England match on a USB stick. After watching the game, I think I might need to immolate the memory stick so as to cleanse myself.

[blombluss]

Bloody hell england are dismal

ves. it was a horribly flat performance.

[blombluss]

So Ten Hag has been unfired by Man U?!?

That's... an interesting development...

[blombluss]

I've got a sneaky feeling Scotland might get a result against Germany, in the opening match tomorrow nacht.

[dng]

The result being a 3-0 defeat

[blombluss]

If you're correct, I'm going to drop an empty can of Irn Bru onto your left thigh, as punashment!

[dng]

Andy Robertson to get booked under new uefa rules that looking furious counts as dissent now

[dng]

And then sent off for still looking furious

[dng]

And so on until he’s dead

[dng]

Still looking furious obviously

[dng]

Scotland somehow lucky to only lose 5-1

[blombluss]

They were bloody awful. If you're playing poorly and/or can't compete with your opponents, put your foot in, make the match bitty, stick a big man up front and tonk it towards their head. Do something, try something. And I think Gunn should've stopped either the first or fifth goal, too.

[dng]

Lovely eriksen

[dng]

Lovely boring slightly useless strangely effective Southgate’s England

[blombluss]

I thought England did well considering we played a fair chunk of the match with 9 players, plus Foden/Alexander Arnold.

And as for what Kane is meant to do in that system, gawd knows.

Also - Bellingham will definitely get sent off in the next two/three matches.

[dng]

France have the best kit so far

[dng]

Due to the hugeness of their cockerels

[blombluss]

DAVID!!!

[blombluss]

I was quite impressed by Austria, and their Chile Bielsa-era tribute act. And Romania looked pretty handy, too.
