They could pivot to making a documentary series about making a documentary series that went wrong.

Then a podcast about that.

I bet Vom was the spy! His music is merely his 'cover' to allow him to travel hither and thither!

I'll spy on you if you're not careful

In which case, you'd have my sympathies, Vom!

Late to the partay, I know, but that goal of Maeda's against Rangers is a soccer-movie goal.

Post by **vom** » Wed May 13, 2026 2:07 pm

I don't think I am

I guess I haven't checked though

So... Hearts vs Celtic at Celtic Park for the title.

Only a draw required by Hearts, so no pressure...

Its a bit shit so far really

Post by **dng** » Sat May 16, 2026 12:57 pm

of course the real football this weekend is at wembley (southend versus wealdtsone)

Post by **dng** » Sat May 16, 2026 1:38 pm

oh wait the end of the match was pretty good

Post by **dng** » Sat May 16, 2026 1:38 pm

pitch invasions and punch ups and the game basically being abandoned

Post by **dng** » Sat May 16, 2026 1:39 pm

hopefully this means three months later the scottish fa award the league to morocco

Post by **dng** » Sun May 17, 2026 4:24 pm

Post by **dng** » Sun May 17, 2026 4:24 pm

Southampton's appeal should involve rebranding themselves as "Manchester City (South)", and that'd get them reinstated, receive a grovelling apology from the King, and a 3 nil start in the playoff final.

sacking managers after winning a cup is the new meta

yeah, i was just thinking about poor lovely miserable old ange

I like unai emery's niche skill of winning the europa league but only with teams with the word villa in the title (no arsenals)

Post by **vom** » Thu May 21, 2026 8:05 am

Ha, oh yeah

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 21, 2026 11:25 am

Next on Emery's Europa League win list is:

Villach (Austria)
Villabate (Italy)
Village People (Band)

Post by **blombluss** » Fri May 22, 2026 12:39 pm

Dan Burn over Harry Maguire?
Ivan Toney over Morgan Gibbs-White?
Jordan Henderson over... anyone else?

Er... okay...

Post by **dng** » Fri May 22, 2026 4:53 pm

Surely hendersons there because he's the exact same player as Declan rice (but worse) and Ivan toneys in there because he's Harry Kane (but worse) and Morgan Gibbs white isn't in there because he's Morgan Rogers (but worse) but we're already taking Morgan Rigers, who's Jude Bellingham (but worse), and Harry Maguire's not in there cause hes probably not even allowed into America now because he's a convicted anti police violent leftist criminal

I can't explain the dam burn decision

Has anyone watched the Gareth Southgate docu-drama 'Dear England' on the BBC? Judging from it's title it's about the costly cost of following the World's greatest team around the glob.

Post by **endar** » Tue May 26, 2026 10:30 pm

This fucking bbc obsession of dramatising every little thing is weird, desperate and rather self-indulgent.

thats been a play for years now (with a new ending added after every tournament)

Post by **dng** » Wed May 27, 2026 8:50 pm

this seems like a fairly random transfer

maybe they scouted him using some sort of successful dives per match metrics i suppose

I want the Bayern Munich Commodore top. There's no way I'd wear the chelsea one. It is rather expensive though
