I can't believe the benevolent petrochemical billionaire who bought Man Utd turned out to be a cunt.

On the plus side this Man Utd Spurs match was entertaining madness.

A 7-goal thriller made up entirely of defensive or goalkeeping howlers.

Man Utd - Theatre Of Dreams

I blame Marcus Rashford!

Citeh's fine run of form continues (1-1 against Everton) - hurrah!

You don't think City are doing this deliberately, do you? To lessen their punishment somehow?

Post by **dng** » Fri Dec 27, 2024 10:24 am

maybe man united are doing that too

He'd make Tommy Robinson manager for lols and libtard 'owning', probably.

Rooney leaves Plymouth, then they beat Premier League Brentford.

If Tamworth win today, it will prove Southend are actually definitely the best team in Europe (we beat Tamworth, Spurs beat Liverpool, Liverpool beat Real Madrid). So come on Tamworth and their big long throws and their crowd who just seem to chant “wanker” over and over again at opposition managers for some reason

Southends game on the weekend was called off due to a frozen pitch. Last nights game was called off after seven minutes due to fog. I assume this means there's a flood scheduled for saturdays game now

the first PSV goal here (about a minute and twenty seconds in) is like when you used to play super soccer on the snes and the entire team would simultaneously tackle every time you pressed the slide button

the goal arsenal conceded yesterday also had a weird 90s computer game feel to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD8YXatarcI (1 minute 15 into this)

their goalie diving anyway like he thought he was still in his net but he wasn't in his net at all he was halfway up the pithc for some reason (no reason)

to this astonishingly magnificently inept goal

10 seconds before it went to penalties

Post by **dng** » Thu Feb 06, 2025 11:58 pm

this quote from postecoglu sounds like he was actually pleased spurs just gave up completely

"ultimately what was really important was that we never played to our identity and strengths and shied away from the challenge a little bit."
