[Samadini]

What happened to the vCash thing.

Did I win?

[Reg]

Nervous for tomorrow.

Real Madrid v Valencia looks tasty, but I think the big three will all win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What happened to the vCash thing.

Did I win?

Everyone got bored.

Yes.

[Kikó]

I'm in Norwich tomorrow for this and while that's exciting, I'm more excited by the Norwich meet with Santa and Byron.

[Lewis]

Gutted, Randrew.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The only lol available for the rest of the season is if the ruins of the Tottenham squad manage to finish below Arsenal. That and Newcastle going down. We should chuck our game at Sunderland.

[Magic]

Arsenal finishing 2nd would produce two extreme lols:

1: Spurs collapse
2: Pathetic protesting Arsenal fans

[Kikó]

Gutted, Randrew.

Randrew can come if he wants.

[Mazuuurk]

City will prolly end up 2nd in the end anyway as both Arsenal and Spurs collapse.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Randrew can come if he wants.

He rarely leaves his room these days.

'Real life' has nothing on Rocket League.

[Lewis]

I wouldn't bother, mate. He's shite.

[phonics]

What happened to the vCash thing.

Did I win?

The problem is the bookie needs to create the thread. If more people want to dedicate to making the threads then sure.

[Giggles]

St. Totteringhams day is coming :nodd:

[Samadini]

The problem is the bookie needs to create the thread. If more people want to dedicate to making the threads then sure.

I would have been up for creating the threads, but it got the point where if I put my name forward I wasn't going to win the bet which appears to have won me the title (where is my badge?) so looks like I donned it to shit in the end. :cool:

[Davgooner]

2: Pathetic protesting Arsenal fans

Fuck off. You're more clueless on this subject than usual.

[phonics]

I would have been up for creating the threads, but it got the point where if I put my name forward I wasn't going to win the bet which appears to have won me the title (where is my badge?) so looks like I donned it to shit in the end. :cool:

Wut?

[Magic]

Fuck off. You're more clueless on this subject than usual.

:harold:

Got the Arsenal coffin out yet?

[Davgooner]

It's ready. We borrowed it from your lot.

[Magic]

Well we're fucked, you'll probably finish 2nd.

[Davgooner]

It's not about where we finish. It's early days and it's not exactly a coherent thing yet, but I'd imagine the protests will be sustained from this point forward, with it perhaps ramping up a bit pre season when it's easier to get tickets for some. Does make me chuckle that most of the mongs who seem to be viewing this as some whiney protest by spoilt fans who don't know how good they have it are the same lot who've taken the piss out of our performance for the last decade. Which is it? Everything's relative: you worry about our club and I'll worry about mine.

[Lewis]

The question is why has it taken these people (and you) this long to realise?

[Davgooner]

The only thing that's changed is more people coming over to the side of wanting Wenger to do one. I think the animosity towards those running the club has been there since we left Highbury; plenty of protests regarding Usmanov/Kroenke etc, and some fo the cunts in the regime that pimped us out into a property company. The BSM started up about six years ago and there were some hefty turnouts. Ultimately the press are only interested in the manager's position.

[Spoonsky]

I think there's also the fact that this is really the year that Arsenal should have won it. They've lost out to a pair of sides who are far worse on paper, which is worse I think than the usual collapse to City or Chelsea.

[SincereTheRebel]

Last night, a player died after he collapsed on the field during a game for dinamo bucharest

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36234022

[Gray Fox]

I think there's also the fact that this is really the year that Arsenal should have won it. They've lost out to a pair of sides who are far worse on paper, which is worse I think than the usual collapse to City or Chelsea.

I'd massively disagree about this. Especially regarding Spurs.

Making a 'Combined XI' between them and Arsenal and I don't see too many Arsenal players making the team. There may be a case at full back and you could think about Ozil and Sanchez further up but beyond that there's at least 7 Spurs players in.

[Davgooner]

We're better on paper but that only serves to highlight how poorly we ended up performing. Either of the two other two managers up there would have won the league with this squad. It's not the quality of the players but rather the way they're motivated and coached.

[randomlegend]

Christ, I've taken a bumming in here.

[Lewis]

Find out where they are, and turn up with that lad who used to bully Bryon at work.

[Magic]

Have Arsenal ever shat out a 1-0 win? No. They haven't had that 25 goal striker for over a decade who can drag 3 points out of utter shit.

[Lewis]

I know he's identified more as a United legend, but they had Robin van Persie for a bit.

[Giggles]

Lloris, Alderweireld, Alli, and Kane would make it. Rest Arsenal.

[niko_cee]

Probably Rose (competition for that spot is poor) and at least one more central midfielder as well.

[Magic]

I know he's identified more as a United legend, but they had Robin van Persie for a bit.

Lol forgot about him.

[Davgooner]

Have Arsenal ever shat out a 1-0 win?

We have you know.

[SincereTheRebel]

Martial has torn his groin muscle during the warmup and has been placed by herrera. Rooney starts as the striker.

[Magic]

Boro winning.

[Boydy]

How come all the Championship games are early? And League One is tomorrow?

[Magic]

It's bound to be TV related.

[randomlegend]

Martial has torn his groin muscle during the warmup and has been placed by herrera. Rooney starts as the striker.

Fuck's sake :D

[SincereTheRebel]

Darmian has also gone off with an ankle injury. It didnt look that bad but he is in a lot of pain and has gone off on a stretcher.

[Browning]

Claiming Arsenal not winning it is worse than City or Chelsea who were A) more fancied at the start B) stronger on paper and C) far shitter than them this season is just wrong.

[Magic]

Derby. :harold:

[Magic]

LvG's sunglasses. :sick:

[Lee]

Brighton did fuck all in that first half. They have to win ffs.

[Magic]

Did MEMPHIS really cost 32m? :harold:

[John]

Claiming Arsenal not winning it is worse than City or Chelsea who were A) more fancied at the start B) stronger on paper and C) far shitter than them this season is just wrong.

Who's doing that? Chelsea have reacted to their shitty season by binning their manager, and Man City binning their manager has been a sort of catalyst for their season going to shit.

The point is that with the two sides Arsenal can understandably finish behind out of the way it must be a bit galling to then finish behind their historically worse rivals and some upstart mob who were going down until April last year instead, hence the increase in protests.

[Boydy]

It's bound to be TV related.

For the Championship, yeah, I guess. League One is hardly big enough to be moved around for TV, is it?

[Browning]

Sorry I misread that Spoon post and thought he was saying it's worse than the collapse of City and Chelsea, not Arsenals usual collapse against those. Ignore me. :D

[Waffdon]

Clear red card that. Commentators reaction was great.
"He might be milking that. "


"...maybe not"

[Foe]

Really harsh red in the Brighton game. Really harsh.

Unfortunate injury but he's won the ball.

[Giggles]

Red for which team?

EDIT: Ah piss. That's that done then.

[Sam]

Really harsh red in the Brighton game. Really harsh.

Unfortunate injury but he's won the ball.

Most stonewall red if there ever was one.

[randomlegend]

This Utd game is fucking dire.

[Foe]

Most stonewall red if there ever was one.

Disagree completely. Mike dean has reacted to seeing the gash. I don't really get why it's a foul when he won the ball.

[Lee]

Disagree completely. Mike dean has reacted to seeing the gash. I don't really get why it's a foul when he won the ball.

A tackle can still be dangerous whether the ball is won or not.

[Foe]

A tackle can still be dangerous whether the ball is won or not.

Yeah, they're normally reserved for two footed lunges. This was a 50/50 in the air, that Stephens got there first.

[Shindig]

Happy to see Boro back up. The next two hours are going to be daunting.


Tim Tyler: For most of this game, it was hard to tell which team Man Utd or Norwich City FC were the team facing relegation.

What casual wank is that, Tim?

[SincereTheRebel]

Fuck boro. They are shit. Only team up there that is decent are newcastle.

[Disco]

Well that's one good result today, now all we need is a Villa revival and for Chelsea to roll over against Sunderland.

[niko_cee]

Always thought a win was going to be tough. The red card sounds odd, with vastly differing opinions on it. Real kick in the teeth if that puts him out for the whole of the play-offs (is it a 3 game ban?). Between that and Dunk last week things are unraveling slightly. Sheffield Wednesday should be beatable over two legs but I really don't fancy a final against either of the other two. You never know though, Derby are probably owed a good shoeing.

[Reg]

There was bickering between Stephens and Ramirez beforehand, and I think Stephens may have seen an opportunity to get the ball and hurt the man at the same time. Some refs would have sent him off, others wouldn't. It is a 3 game ban, niko_cee.

I thought we played poorly before the red and well afterwards. Boro are a bastard of a side to play in this division, but I can't see them scoring many or staying up in the Prem.

[Magic]

What the fuck are Wet Sham doing? Absolute cunts.

[Boydy]

I told someone in work who was still in the last man standing competition that West Ham were a good bet. I hope he didn't listen to me.

[Magic]

Comeback is on. Lol @ Chelslol.

[Magic]

LOL @ Chelslol.

[Browning]

Fucking hell Sunderland.

[Magic]

Defoe for England. :cool:

Been a monster recently.

[Lewis]

That is a classic GREAT ESCAPE scoreline. Meanwhile, Newcastle can't score at Villa.

[Magic]

Wait a minute have Chunderland got a game in hand?

[John Arne]

I'm pretty sure if you take out pens, Defoe is very close to Kane and Vardy.

[GS]

Everton have folded, so presumably this means Sunderland staying up. Fuck that.

[Adramelch]

Wait a minute have Chunderland got a game in hand?

Yeah, Everton at home.

[Giggles]

Sunderland :drool: Fuck 'Rafa'.

[Shindig]

Defoe's the difference. We have bugger all incisiveness these days and its telling. Going down before Saturday, lads.

[Magic]

Shame WH bottled it. Payet will go and they'll be in a relegation battle. Cunts.

[Browning]

What a way for Terry to finish his career.

[Giggles]

Scenes at Bristol Rovers.

[Magic]

What a way for Terry to finish his career.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Throwing the armband on the floor too. Classless cunt. :harold:

[Shindig]

None of this will matter when Big Sam gets sacked 9 games into next season, lads. Honest. Meanwhile Nigel Pearson steamrolls the Championship with Rolando Aarons.

[John Arne]

I'm pretty sure if you take out pens, Defoe is very close to Kane and Vardy.

Not quite...

Kane 20
Vardy 18
Defoe 14

[Disco]

Everton have folded, so presumably this means Sunderland staying up. Fuck that.

http://i.imgur.com/jQcuNR8.png

[Giggles]

Maybe they can beat Villa next year :harold:

[Shindig]

"Hi, I'm Sam Allardyce. I've only ever led one team to stability. I am shit 9 months of the year then pull it back for the final 3 because that's when players actually respond to the fear of going down. Give me the England job."

[Samadini]

For fucks sake.

[John Arne]

https://gyazo.com/2dbf7c8e98aa21ce0007df413834905d.png

[Lewis]

Alright, Leicester. You've got a game to play.

[John Arne]

Bocelli > Boselli

[Disco]

The Newcastle lot on here are all pretty cool which makes it all the worse that the club is a rotting husk full of grasping cunts. Add the waiter into the mix and I'm surprised even the natives want them to stay up.

[John Arne]

Fucking hell, Terry has just got on stage with Bocelli, full tux.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ranieri :cool:

[Giggles]

I'd like to have seen this game. The before or afters anyway (whenever they give them the trophy).

[Disco]

I just turned on and for a second I thought that was Ranieri singing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's there because Bocelli forgot to bring his stick.

[Lewis]

This is why only United and maybe Chelsea should be allowed to win things. City had their tragic pitch invasion, and now this. Get over it.

[Kikó]

Horrible game but Norwich are awful. West Ham losing pretty much guarantees top 5. Arsenal draw or win please.

[randomlegend]

United are the worst winners of them all. Obnoxious cunts, the lot of em.

http://www.kappit.com/img/pics/26544779aideh.jpg

[Byron]

Horrible game but Norwich are awful. West Ham losing pretty much guarantees top 5. Arsenal draw or win please.

The one game we decide to piss away as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The pisshead in the crowd :D

[Davgooner]

Fucking hell Everton are shit. If you've got anything about you whatsoever you relish in pissing on this sort of occasion. Add to that the fact most of the Leicester lot have been doing cocaine off strippers all week, and it's fucking piss poor.

[niko_cee]

This is why only United and maybe Chelsea should be allowed to win things. City had their tragic pitch invasion, and now this. Get over it.

Nothing will ever surpass the effort Real put in after Mourinho won them the title. I suppose, in the context of them never winning it anymore, it made sense.

[Spoonsky]

I turned on the Leicester game and the atmosphere seemed dead. Did the party peak before the game began?

[Browning]

That's surely Sunderland safe even if they don't get another point. I just can't see Newcastle beating Spurs, even if Spurs have nothing to play for.

[Giggles]

That's surely Sunderland safe even if they don't get another point. I just can't see Newcastle beating Spurs, even if Spurs have nothing to play for.

Don't Newcastle mostly beat Spurs?

[Browning]

Don't Newcastle mostly beat Spurs?

Not sure, but they can't even beat Villa, and everyone's beating them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't Newcastle mostly beat Spurs?

No, they used to but it's been very much Spurs for a few years now.

[Giggles]

No, they used to but it's been very much Spurs for a few years now.

http://www.skysports.com/football/tottenham-vs-newcastle/341345

That's when I knew they were winning fuck all this season.

[Waffdon]

Except earlier this year of course.

[Spoonsky]

Sunderland are the dullest of the three teams in the relegation battle so it'll be disappointing if they stay up.

[Lewis]

Anyone paying big money for an Everton player this summer is a dickhead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://www.skysports.com/football/tottenham-vs-newcastle/341345

That's when I knew they were winning fuck all this season.
http://www.11v11.com/teams/tottenham-hotspur/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Newcastle%20United/

It's been more of a Spurs win lately than Newcastle.

And Newcastle haven't won two in a row since 2008.

[John Arne]

Sunderland are the dullest of the three teams in the relegation battle so it'll be disappointing if they stay up.

No way, Norwich are dreadful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Everton are proper shit.

[Lewis]

Proper England form.

[Spoonsky]

Robles there. :D

[John Arne]

Are Everton aware that this isn't actually a testimonial?

[John Arne]

England going into the Euro's with the Premier League's top 2 scorers :drool:

Then dropping them both, and playing Rooney. :(

[John]

I've just seen that red card Foe was moaning about earlier and thank fuck he didn't make it as a footballer. There would have been broken legs galore if he reckons that's a perfectly acceptable challenge. :sick:


"Hi, I'm Sam Allardyce. I've only ever led one team to stability. I am shit 9 months of the year then pull it back for the final 3 because that's when players actually respond to the fear of going down. Give me the England job."

You bitter twat. :D


http://www.kappit.com/img/pics/26544779aideh.jpg

What a terrible image. There are two flavours on the ice cream she has there, and neither is salty. Do better, RL.

[Magic]

Martinez should be sacked immediately after the game.

[John Arne]

Geoff Shreeves looks like and reminds me of David Brent.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is so good.

[Spoonsky]

Hard not to grin at that. Unbelievable.

[Magic]

What is it?

[John]

Lol at the bloke having to carry round a picture of the King. I bet that's law.

[Giggles]

Leicester City. Leicester fucking City.


:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Spoonsky]

What is it?

Seeing Giggles excited about something. I never thought we'd see it in my lifetime.

[Giggles]

Seeing Giggles excited about something. I never thought we'd see it in my lifetime.

You pre-empted my post?

[John Arne]

As if to prove his point :D

[Spoonsky]

And we'll likely never see it again.

[Giggles]

I just don't know which one he was referencing in the first place.

[John]

It's a shame they didn't get it yesterday, really. After all the vinegar he's tried to pour on this it would have been quite nice if they'd been given the trophy on his birthday. I like Souness as a pundit and he's a legend at my club, but he's been a huge twat about all this so he deserved to seethe his birthday away.

[Lee]

Well that was a nice way to spend an afternoon.

[Giggles]

Well that was a nice way to spend an afternoon.

Can only imagine. Place must have been bouncing.

[Lee]

Can only imagine. Place must have been bouncing.

It was brilliant. The best bit was before the game. Bocelli was fantastic and during his performance the elderly dad and his middle aged son who have attended every home match together for as long as I can remember were stood there holding hands, the old boy with tears running down his cheek. Football. :cool:

[Magic]

Well that was a nice way to spend an afternoon.

Childless and unmarried?

[Lee]

Childless and unmarried?

I have no intention of being anything other. It's lovely.

[Lee]

Hold on, the fucking avatar. :D :D :D :D

I hope it angers you that I actually like you.

[Giggles]

I have no intention of being anything other. It's lovely.

Most likely better than hatefully married and soon to be part time childless.

[Shindig]

You bitter twat. :D.

Absolutely. I need to vent. Filling us with hope and expectations and then failing to put one past a side with a minus 46 goal difference. Whilst looking for a third manager in 12 months. CAN WE HAVE TAVERNIER BACK, MATE!?

[Davgooner]

729052791847718912

[Lewis]

Forget the fact that only one of them has actually scored goals this years, and compare Rooney's calm, experienced hold-up play with Vardy wasting several good chances. That is why we need him leading the line in the Euros.

[Giggles]

I'd have Rooney in somewhere at least.

[Waffdon]

I hope Max is snorting lines off bigger gash's than the one on Ramirez this afternoon.

G'wan my son.

[Giggles]

I presume Magic has already posted that injury. If he's finished wanking over it that is.

[Lee]

http://i65.tinypic.com/29b1xsz.jpg

What a man he is. A couple of beers down the line I think it's properly hit me now. Jesus. I fucking love football. I genunely feel sorry for people who can't attach meaning to it and get emotional about it.

[Waffdon]

Ditto

What a fucking hobby we have.

[Lewis]

It must be a hard one for Leicester in some respects, because it is (more than likely) all downhill from here. Ooh well I don't care I've seen us win the lea... Everything they ever do will be shit compared to this, so it would be the ideal time to stop watching it.

[Lee]

I thought about it actually. But I want to see us in Europe. And I don't go just for the game. Just going is a hobby now. Everything will be worse in terms of actual achievement, but there are loads of relative highs. Every goal will still get the same cheer, for example. It's a fun thing to do, regardless of level or success.

I'm not one for taking it home anyway. I don't go home and slap the missus about if we lose. But I'll definitely care less about where we end up. I've seen us win the league, for fuck's sake. It's mental. I know from bitter experience that Forest, Derby and Cov fans hvpave lived off their past successes for years. Decades even. I'll get a fair bit of currency out of this one.

Agree completely, and one of the biggest downsides to my leaving for college is leaving Real Salt Lake. Not that they're so good, but they're my team, and it's just not the same when you can't attend games. I'll go see the Impact probably but I doubt it will be regular. It's really a sport for adolescents and the middle-aged, isn't it? Not that you're exactly middle-aged, but your life in 5 or 10 years probably won't be radically different, at least not compared to mine.

[Jimmy Floyd]

A nice piece of natural justice that Sir Rafa could well have sealed relegation by drawing 0-0 with the worst side in this or perhaps any league.

[Magic]

I presume Magic has already posted that injury. If he's finished wanking over it that is.

What one?

[Giggles]

Exactly. If you're not going to games then it all gets a little bit pointless. I went back to my lot after about 7 years away last season and instantly it meant a whole lot more than anything a Premier League team ever did, even though the team and football are both septic.

I don't know how you can really connect properly without being there in the flesh occasionally. Most of the fun is the day and building relationships with random people who have the same thing in common with you. I high fived the old dear who runs the Leamington Spa branch when we scored yesterday just as an example.

Enjoy the goon. The one thing you'll hopefully not have to deal with as much is the away tickets getting into the wrong hands and not too many day trippers taking over the home games.

[Baz]

I presume Magic has already posted that injury. If he's finished wanking over it that is.

Which one?

[Giggles]

Which one?

Some Gaston Ramirez one. And yes, I know you're going to post it now.

[Weaver]

Lloris; Walker, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose; Dier, Mason; Son, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane.

Forster; Martina, van Dijk, Fonte, Bertrand; Wanyama, Clasie, Davis; Tadic, Mane, Long.

I thought Spurs were going to rotate today, now that they can't win the title, so I was expecting Davies, Trippier, Chadli, Wimmer etc.

[Kikó]

They're still to secure second place.

[Baz]

Bloody hell. Judging by van Dijk's lacklustre canter there, I think he's got money on Spurs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:harold:

[phonics]

Need Spurs to lose this and us to beat Villa 16-0.

[Magic]

Come on Arsenal. :drool:

[Magic]

Also unreal how Shampy are ahead of the Shambles.

[Giggles]

This will be the lollest St. Totteringhams day of them all.

[John Arne]

Shampy?

[Magic]

Awesome. Real shame Ledley isn't still I here so we could revel in his ruined optimism and laugh in his cunt face. That will be their best chance for the next 20 years. :harold:

[CJay]

Ajax lost the Eredivisie title today because they couldn't beat already-relegated De Graafschap. :harold:

[SincereTheRebel]

Ajax lost the Eredivisie title today because they couldn't beat already-relegated De Graafschap. :harold:

I was watching it on one of the best streams ever. Embarrassing from ajax really. A.Madrid are playing already relegated levante shorly. I dont think they will go through the same fate.

They need Barcelona to drop points anyway.

[SincereTheRebel]

They need Barcelona to drop points anyway.

Valencia have been decent since neville left. They should win though.

[Adramelch]

Valencia have been decent since neville left. They should win though.

Barca have Espanyol at home and Granada away though. Espanyol have nothing to play for (other than it being a local derby), but Granada will probably need points of that game.

[Waffdon]

Iheanacho time score again, the absolute don.

[Waffdon]

The fuck is Hart doing.

[SincereTheRebel]

Shambolic defending from man city there.

[Kikó]

Come on arsenal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Judging from how he's walking off the pitch, I'd imagine that's Welbeck out of the Euros.

Rashford time, Woy :drool:

[SincereTheRebel]

Defoe to replace welbeck.

[Boydy]

It sort of looked like Benteke could have reached that cross but he just couldn't be arsed.

[Boydy]

Also this has been shit so far and I don't see where goals are going to come from other than maybe Coutinho.

[Boydy]

The Watford keeper is wearing a gumshield. What the hell.

Do Sky always show Spanish stuff on Sky2?

KdB and Aguero is city. Without one of them they're very average.

What happens to 4th spot if Pool wins the Uefa cup?

[Kikó]

Nothing.

[Gray Fox]

What happens to 4th spot if Pool wins the Uefa cup?

Nothing.

If City had won the Champions League and then finished 5th then they would have taken 4th spot from the team who finished there. See what Chelsea did to Spurs in 2012.

If we win the Europa we have 5 teams in the Champions League next year.

Pretty sure that's not true anymore.

Pretty sure it is.

Fourth would only drop out if the Champions League winners AND Europa League winners fail to finish in the top 4.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was lovely from Giroud.

One more please :drool:

[John]

That's a fantastic goal.

[Lewis]

Tell you what, if Arsenal sign the right players this summer they could win the league next year.

[Kikó]

Some lovely goals in this one. Shame we won't beat West Ham at their place or this would be a good result.

Have West Ham not played their last home game?

[Danny]

No. United is the last on Tuesday

[Giggles]

What was all the poncing about for yesterday about it then?

[Kikó]

How are Celta Vigo fifth with a minus 6 goal difference?

[SincereTheRebel]

A.Madrid have just conceded in the last minute and are losing 2-1 to a team that has already been relegated.

[SincereTheRebel]

Been watching man city for a weeks live, and fernandinho and fernando have been excellent.

[Magic]

I was watching it on one of the best streams ever. Embarrassing from ajax really. A.Madrid are playing already relegated levante shorly. I dont think they will go through the same fate.

:eyemouth:

[SincereTheRebel]

Madness.

[GS]

It would be quite good to see City fail to qualify for the Champions League from here. "Pep" would at least have somewhere to go.

[John]

Yaya Toure is such a lethargic twat. He must have cold turkeyed off those pills when Sakho got nabbed.

[niko_cee]

Do you mean he might join United instead?

Time to call in the Tevez 1-0 debt.

[Kikó]

There's no chance West Ham arent saving their best performance of the season to the last game at Upton Park.

[Jeet]

Would have taken 3rd start of the season.

Luca Toni's still playing. :cab:

[Lewis]

Still banging them in as well until quite recently, because Serie A is shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Luca Toni's still playing. :cab:

He hasn't got shit on Kazuyoshi Miura. He started his professional career in 1986 with Santos, however he joined his first youth team in 1973.

Here he is scoring last year aged 48:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFUJvABMd8

He won the very first two J-League titles whilst Lineker was pissing about with Grampus who were near the bottom.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Oh and Sincere called the result in the betting thread.


Verona have already been relegated. Veronas last home game. Luca toni's last home game before retirement. Juventus have a weakish team

£5 Toni to score anytime and verona to win @ 12

Hero.

Sunderland are the dullest of the three teams in the relegation battle so it'll be disappointing if they stay up.

How come?

[Kikó]

Mitroglu has just put Benfica up 1-0. Down to ten after United's rose Sanches was sent off for two yellows. First was ridiculous as it was a stonewall penalty and it was given as a dive. Second was petulance.

[Spoonsky]

How come?

Norwich have the best colors in the league and a nicer stadium, and their games with Liverpool are always ridiculous and entertaining. Newcastle are a 'bigger' team in my eyes and more likely to pull an upset on a given day. It's a totally subjective statement, I've just always found Sunderland to be fairly dull.

[Davgooner]

City should be docked points for that away section.

[Waffdon]

How come?

Christ, here we go.

Norwich are a fucking embarrassment as far as football clubs go. SoL is nicer than Carrow Rd surely?

[Spoonsky]

Carrow Road seems more intimate, the colors are nicer and it's always sunny there.

I was in a small town in Virginia today and this old woman walked past me wearing a Leicester shirt. It's happening.

Are we dull like West Brom dull? As much as I don't mind the baggies, they never really seem to have anything going for them. I don't see us like that, but I imagine other probably do. In terms of survival (fingers crossed for this season) we almost seem to have become the Coventry/Southampton of when I was a kid *shudder*

In terms of our actual side right now, we have probably the best striker in the bottom half, some pretty classy midfielders and we seem to be starting to put a decent defence together. I thought it was going to be cruel irony that we went down with this side, but now we've given ourselves hope.

[Magic]

Norwich, Bournemouth, Watford, WBA can all fuck off. Burnley and Boro too now. Fucking dreadful.

[Lewis]

Sunderland really need to get it over with and go down (preferably never to return), and in any other season you would hope that it happened. Unfortunately, Big Sam is a football legend, and Newcastle going down would be funnier in the short-term, so ideally they will stay up, lose Big Sam to England, and then go down with about thirteen points next year.

Or do the opposite and actually push on. But 13 points just when you think things might be looking up would be very Sunderland.

[Lewis]

Maybe, but they probably need to go down, ditch half of their terrible squad, and develop some sort of SYSTEM (for lack of a better word) before they look at doing that (Big Sam probably isn't your man for that). Survival just makes it more likely that they will consider it job done and aim for sixteenth next year.

It's pronounced 'Champions of England' mate.
