What a year 2023 was for football. All those balls which got kicked, all the human rights abusers having all the money funnelled at them, all the PRESSING. Phwoar.
Still, while football is FUCKING RELENTLESS at least we have an international tournament to look forward to. Hooray!
Happy new year, lads.
Liverpool are gonna win the league.
I'm a twit
Oooh, all the Guinea's qualified. And Mauritania who I guess are the tournament's minnows.
On the Sincere scale:
Guinea-Bissau: Top Guinea
Guinea: Middle Guinea
Equatorial Guinea: Bottom Guinea.

Papua super jealous right now.
Papua New Guinea: Right Guinea.
I demand daily threads.
Looks like the Beeb/Sky aren't bothering with AFCON.

Barrow pissing in Ryan Reynolds' pocket to start 2024
They’ve just shot their load in added timeBarrow pissing in Ryan Reynolds' pocket to start 2024
We're 2-0 up at half time and Bamford has found the back of the net. Truly a wondrous start to the year.
Maybe you should have waited a bit, lad.Barrow pissing in Ryan Reynolds' pocket to start 2024
45+9, 45+11 and 45+13?
Barrow do love a comeback though so a couple of quid on the win at 40/1.
Not beaten Middlesbrough away in the league since the 90s, just finished 3-1. Combine that with the playoff win there and there's a chance we're finally someone's bogey team, I've been on the right side of that.
Apparently the Wrexham player who smashed the Barrow lad unconcious so he had to be stretchered off in the first half did the same to his replacment (with the same result) in the second half, no cards shown though
Hong Kong just beat China 2-1
So is Partey injured? Or is it actually that thing everyone knows about but that you aren’t allowed to say anything about?
He's been complaining about lack of game time apparently which is a bit odd if he is injured...
He’s trying to force his way into the starting lineup.

Seems a decent team Newcastle are putting out, haven't they been bleating on about injuries? Also sad times no Trippier to chuck one in. First missing out on Maguire and Bruno against United and now this?
Everyone has been bleating on about injuries this year it seems. It’s just the trendy way of saying you’re shit. Either that or this new fashionable playing style of requiring your team to run non-stop for 90 minutes is actually breaking bodies.
It's the latter, but you can't compromise on that, the data says never compromise.
It's also why mentions of the clock stopping when the ball goes out have gone quiet. Imagine all the extra PRESSING.
Another dreadful Antony Taylor penalty decision that they won’t overturn
Liverpool
Salah has to have the worst penalty taking technique in the league
Salah has to be one of the worst "regular" penalty takers ever.
He misses so many.
He had a great record because he always went keepers left or down the middle with power. He then started to try and place them to keepers right and sent a few wide of goal. Since then he's blasted almost every one down the middle again and you get what you get there.
Yeah, he's never inspired much confidence but there was a period where he was ridiculously reliable.
Certainly no Joao Pedro though.
Newcastle are a funny team, they remind me of Mark Hughes's Man City. Everyone contributes something but none of them are quite good enough to be top, top, top players. Except Miley. He's a joke.
Salah is right to be steaming at the ref there. Atrociously bad mistake not to award the yellow to Guimaraes once play had eventually stopped, the assessors will slaughter Taylor for that.
I’m sure Taylor used to be good, or at least gave the illusion of being. Has VAR exposed him now, or has he got too far up his own arse?
It’s amazing how many bookings Newcastle manage to avoid for straight up cheating.
Anthony Taylor clueless.
This bald bloke has lost it. You can’t give a free kick for dissent can you?
Lewis Miley would be enormous if he didn't have a Spikey head.
He's been the 2nd best in the country behind Oliver for a long time but he hasn't had a good season and is probably being caught by Rob Jones, Andy Madley and a few others.
I’m thinking Bruno should round out the half by just picking up the ball and running it over the goal line for a try. Think Newcastle might actually get 6 goals for it.
Worst league since Leicester won it?
Liverpool are a right gang. Them and Arsenal have done well to get as many points as they have with the performances
Between that and not booking a player for the most blatant cynical foul you'll see, you'll get full Klopp rage after this one.
Handing out bookings for daring to be questioned as well. Proper small time.
Very rare to see a Klopp Liverpool side lose their heads so real credit to Newcastle's cuntishness. And if anyone was wondering what Antony would do under a proper manager, see our very own favela rat, what a useless cunt.
This.
No way Liverpool or Arsenal will win the league this year. Really wanted Nunez to be the striker Liverpool fans all hoped he would be, but beyond a bit of cult fandom, he's not that good, sadly.
2019/20 was honking.
Isn't a lower points total to win it more reflective of a better league?
The only reason Liverpool or Arsenal were being talked up is because the goal robot has a software glitch and the best player in the league/world has been out since August.
This said to my missus reminds me of Benteke you never back him to score a one on one.
That and they both have accumulated a lot of points, well, had up until recently.
Jota on Nunez off he is genuinely stopping attacks today.
