i'm not sure i've seen a carling cup final in about ten years

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:33 pm

maybe more

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:33 pm

liverpool versus cardiff in 2012 was probably the last one they showed on tv i think

crist, jamie redknapp looks a right old state these days

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 4:01 pm

no wonder peacocks have replaced him with michael owen these days

I hope everyone is singing 'Carling Cup Final' to the tune of 'Carling Black Label'.

Further football news: I saw Martin Keown again on Friday. He must love west Oxford, I'm always seeing him here.

For some reason itv also showed Portsmouth vs Leeds last week.

Obviously the carling cup is worth about as much as that

TUCHEL OUT!

Nah, the performance was okay, I guess, but that's about it, really.

TUCHEL IN!

i missed it

Post by **dng** » Sat Mar 22, 2025 7:14 pm

i'm going to watch wales versus kazhakstan instead

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 23, 2025 6:37 pm

Wales were okay yesterday. They've been surprisingly good since Craig Bellamy took over

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 23, 2025 6:37 pm

Also Scotland are currently on tv and they've been absolute shite

Ves.

And consider me surprised at how things are going.

Post by **dng** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 3:10 pm

ves. also somehow he seems to not be a complete arsehole any more, which is weird,because usually becoming a manager makes people worse not better

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 8:48 pm

Maybe he's now a robon or an alien hologram.

I think I'm still in with a chance of wearing the No.1 goalies jersey at Man U.

Post by **dng** » Fri Apr 11, 2025 10:19 am

but would you want to

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Apr 11, 2025 7:55 pm

Ves, just for the post match interviews, in which I would show off my many accents and impersonations!

Post by **endar** » Fri Apr 11, 2025 8:31 pm

good man

Good work Woolwich Arsenal!

The end of the Man U - Lyon game was proppah mental!

Post by **dng** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 10:09 am

robbie savage and rio ferdinand are so bad at commentating its made me glad the snooker starts tomorrow so i can listen to shaun murphy instead

It really was

it provided some momentary relief from watching yet another dire, dismal, apathetic, amateurish Spurs team, who still somehow once again got through

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 7:18 pm

Ange needs to win the trophy to keep his job, although I get the feeling he's not particularly bothered if he gets the hook.

Post by **endar** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 7:34 pm

he doesn't seem to be the most motivational, joy inducing manager...

Post by **dng** » Fri Apr 18, 2025 9:26 pm

it is kind of amazing just how much of a misery he is. like mourinho without even the weird spite to motivate himself

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Apr 28, 2025 12:38 pm

Liverpool's league win will soon become annoying, but for the moment, well done!

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Apr 28, 2025 12:40 pm

Also: Scott Mctominay's Napoli! Fair play to the chap!

Post by **dng** » Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:46 pm

also southend might make the play offs, despite being largely rubbsh all season

Post by **dng** » Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:46 pm

everyone makes the play offs in the conference i think

Post by **dng** » Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:46 pm

last season southend also had a chance to make the play offs on the final day, but they lost and everyone else won sothey messed it all up as comprehensively as possible, but this year they only need a draw, so maybe they have a chance

spurs gave perhaps the greatest can't be arsed at all performance i've ever seen i think. if liverpool hadn't spent the whole second half mucking about they could have scored, i don't know, about one hundred goals, or thereabouts

Post by **dng** » Tue Apr 29, 2025 2:48 pm

although ange seemed to think spurs did well because they were okay for ten minutes or so before giving up this time

every spurs match i've seen this year or so has been like that

just so inept, amateurish, apathetic
