Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 08, 2025 10:02 pm

this si presumably due to them playing in yellow now instead of orange/gold

they deserve everything they get for this

What helps Wolves fans to cope is the memory of being in the old fourth division and losing to Chorley in the FA Cup. Not too many big-ish clubs have experienced that sorta thang and bounced back, so we'll be able to handle whats happening at the mo / our subsequent relegation back to the old D2.

Do you think Wolves could get Xabi Alonso for next season?

Thanks, but I've already got 305 tickets for the final between USA I and USA II.

That new Celtic manager appears to be out of his depth, which is good news for Hearts.

Why the fuck does the bbc website keep publishing articles about how great that man who tried to murder hundreds of liverpool fans is?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c33mpgr81zro

It's genuinely baffling/unsettling

You have to get to pretty much the last paragraph of that to discover that this man who'd lived a life of blameless selfless wonder once got discharged from the army for biting a man's ear off

I'm probably being paranoid that it's a deliberate attempt to soft-pedal someone who fits the profile of a cryptofascist so as to appease the right wing, but

its pretty impressive that rangers and celtic have both managed to appoint their worst managers ever in the same season somehow

Post by **dng** » Thu Dec 18, 2025 1:13 am

and one of them will still probably end up winning the league

I watched the end of the spurs Liverpool match, and it was hilariously inept. Both teams trying to lose their heads more stupidly than the other (spurs probably won that competition while not actually winning the match itself, obviously)

Post by **dng** » Sat Dec 20, 2025 7:41 pm

Also i think that means that Liverpool have won as many league games at new white hart lane (opened 2019) as spurs have won at anfield (opened 1884) (5 each)

I'd like David Batty to become a football pundit.

Presenter: So what did you think of the first half, David?
Batty: I didn't watch it.

Presenter: So what are you hoping to see in the second half?
Batty: I don't know.
