That took fucking forever :moop:


Bit of a waste too since there already is a football thread for this weekend.

[Lewis]

lol

[Giggles]

In fairness, this has more posts already.

[Lewis]

What a fucking PLEB.

[Pleb]

:D

That's probably why then I was still in the advanced post section...or I just didn't look at the first page :face:

[Ian]

Classic Pleb.

[Adamski]

I don't even know what a Plebroll is but I know this is one.

[Ian]

Plebroll. :cool:

Them were the days.

[Spikey M]

What a pleb.

[Mellberg]

The Plebroll :drool:

As graceful as ballet, as deadly as a Tesco shopping bag in the English Channel.

[Foe]

Newcastle :moop:

[Boydy]

Yep. I've got them in a four team accumulator that's about 10/1 and they're royally fucking it up. Shitheads.

[Foe]

Yep. I've got them in a four team accumulator that's about 10/1 and they're royally fucking it up. Shitheads.

West Brom, queen of the south, Arbroath, Brentford and Newcastle. 4/5 looking good. Newcastle was supposed to be the baker too.

[Shindig]

That's not the term you're looking for, Foe.

[Disco]

He just means they're inbred.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bayern have stuck 8 past Hamburg.

[Spikey M]

What a pavlova that was.

[Kikó]

Did Newcastle not rise to the occasion?

[Reg]

If they lose this their title hopes aren't scone yet.

[Disco]

It's the yeast they could have done.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Yep. I've got them in a four team accumulator that's about 10/1 and they're royally fucking it up. Shitheads.

Like any Sir Rafa Benitez side, at home to shite is when you absolutely do not bet on them under any circumstances.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Sutton just gone 3-2 at Torquay despite the fact that their keeper got injured and because the pie man got sacked, they haven't got a reserve so an outfielder has gone in.

[Boydy]

Like any Sir Rafa Benitez side, at home to shite is when you absolutely do not bet on them under any circumstances.

Hull drew as well so it doesn't matter anyway.

[Shindig]

I'll take a point after that trash. Something about character.

[Adamski]

West Brom, queen of the south, Arbroath, Brentford and Newcastle. 4/5 looking good. Newcastle was supposed to be the baker too.

Haven't seen the final scores yet. Did you win any dough?

[Spikey M]

It's a choux in.

[Disco]

Look we all had our fun, was there any knead to go back to the puns?

[Offshore Toon]

Turns out Reading fans are horrible little shits. Been very lol watching them get donned by police.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's moronic from Antonio.

[Reg]

What happened, Offy? I was watching on telly because of the broken arm.

We were really good, I thought, although Reading's playing out from the back completely failed - they couldn't get up the pitch.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Reading will fall to bits and miss the playoffs.

[niko_cee]

I've been a fairly long-standing critic of Baldock, which probably shows you what I know about football. He really seems to be pivotal to Brighton, and now he's scoring for fun as well. Fair play.

Still think he's an excellent League 1/par-Championship level player.

Nice to see those horrible bastards from Huddersfield finally stop winning today. 6 points and goal difference feels a bit more comfortable again. Hopefully beat Newcastle and leave those two to duke it out for second.

[Adamski]

Does anyone watch much Bundesliga? Bayern absolutely demolished Hamburg today and I watched Dortmund take 3 off Freiburg without breaking much sweat.

Leipzig won too, still 7 points between them and Dortmund for second place.

[niko_cee]

Nobody cares about it, or any of the other European leagues, much to their collective, and eternal, chagrin.

[Adamski]

I think they care about it, and the other European leagues also care about those you'd think so are you just talking about Britain?

[Lewis]

I don't know any Germans who care about it, so...

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's a reason why Milan spend their whole lives seething these days.

Speaking of which I see Atalanta are making a daring assault on the top six, which will make them seethe even more.

[Adamski]

Right on cue, Little Englander 1 & 2 come on down :cool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

First prize in the lottery of life. Being a Scot is like two numbers on the Thunderball.

[Adamski]

Only because we're penned in by you boring cunts.

[Offshore Toon]

What happened, Offy? I was watching on telly because of the broken arm.

We were really good, I thought, although Reading's playing out from the back completely failed - they couldn't get up the pitch.
Trouble started when some Brighton fans goaded Reading fans into coming towards the fencing separating the two sides, then when the Reading fans all crowded by the fencing a Brighton fan chucked his beer at them, then loads of beer throwing ensued and the steward on the gate got absolutely soaked. Very funny. Police piled in from there and seemed to just pick a (Reading) fan at random to kick out from that incident. Then it all simmered a bit. I still don't understand how somebody goes from doing nothing for two minutes to shouting "WHO ARE YA? WHO ARE YA? WHO ARE YA? WHO ARE YA?" to reverting back to sheepishly standing still. Anyway, after half time, the police on the Reading side all left, so two Reading fans went over to the gate, unaware that police were still on the other side and after being told to move a few times, one of the guys got pushed, then slipped, then almost chokeslammed out of the emergency exit. His mate went off and must have told the lads "E DINT DO NUFFIN" because then a group of pikeys came back shouting "ITS AHHT OV AWWDAH." The police must never get sick of dealing with these pretend hard men that start crying once somebody pushes them.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Watching Norwich v Ipswich. I'd question what the point of having someone like Mick McCarthy in charge of your club is (there are plenty of him around football). No ambition, a total hatred of any kind of excitement, just a weekly effort to 'keep it tight' and 'frustrate the opposition', and finish 15th yet again.

Big Sam's 'respect the point' making a comeback in yesterday's programme notes. What a catchphrase that is.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nice to see 'The Bully' back.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Two world class finishes, it must be said, and inches away from an even better third.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was disgusting though.

[Giggles]

Boosting the stats when they don't need a goal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was lovely.

[Giggles]

Lingard?

835875506012753922

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Double the dabs for when we win the trophy.

[Giggles]

Should be a cakewalk in fairness.

[Lewis]

He runs around a lot (which Paulp Ogba and Juan Mata don't), and he seems to like Wembley. Chris Smalling potentially lifting the thing as captain is more lol.

[Smiffy]

I can't see nothing but a United win by at least 2/3 goals. Southampton's squad looks proper poor.

[Lewis]

The Cup Treble. I seem to remember it being the 'Plastic Treble' when Liverpool won it, but obviously times have changed.

Full name. :face:

[Foe]

This athletico Barcelona game is a ridiculous 0-0.

[Giggles]

Is Martin Tyler told to do that stupid 'and it's live' thing?

[Pleb]

Already we're getting away with conceding legit disallowed goals.

[Waffdon]

That wasn't even difficult.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ibra :drool:

[Pleb]

Well that's fucking filthy.

[Lewis]

English goalkeeping.

Big Sam's 'respect the point' making a comeback in yesterday's programme notes. What a catchphrase that is.

I know what you're saying, but he did take a team built on free transfers to the playoffs the season before last.

[Jimmy Floyd]

How often does Paul Pogba get his hair done? Every day?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I know what you're saying, but he did take a team built on free transfers to the playoffs the season before last.

I wasn't really singling out Mick, he was just the example I happened to be staring at at the time.

Oldham in League 1 have a F/A record of 20/32 in 34 games, I mean what is the point.

[Baz]

Why's Smalling getting booed?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Always seems to score at Wembley.

[Giggles]

Well that shows me.

[Danny]

Lingard?

Lingard :nod:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ref has bottled that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Marcos Rojo should have been shown a straight red for his appeal for that.

[Giggles]

Shocker
Shocker
Shocker
Oh wait, no it's not.

[Lewis]

Ander Herrera would have bought him a red had he not been on a yellow himself.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Absolutely classic Gaz Nev gobshiteing there.

[Baz]

Shocker
Shocker
Shocker
Oh wait, no it's not.:lol:

You missed 'leg breaker.'

[Jimmy Floyd]

I want Chelsea to sign James Ward-Prowse. He has the very rare quality in modern football of being able to kick a football to good effect.

[Smiffy]

It needed that goal by Southampton but it's a rather drab game all in all.

[Yevrah]

Absolutely classic Gaz Nev gobshiteing there.

What was the turning point for you with him? I thought I was fighting a lone battle, but I appear to be gathering recruits with it now. :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gabbiadini is a bit good.

[Ian]

Shambles in defence but a nifty finish.

Useless twats.

[Yevrah]

Ooof.

[Giggles]

That's him up to €50m for Liverpool now.

[Giggles]

What is the point of Pogba?

[Jimmy Floyd]

How have Serie A let Gabbiadini get away? His two (three) finishes today have been full Inzaghi.

[Baz]

That's him up to €50m for Liverpool now.I reckon City will be in for him if Aguero goes in summer.

[Jimmy Floyd]

What was the turning point for you with him? I thought I was fighting a lone battle, but I appear to be gathering recruits with it now. :harold:

It's just a build up of stuff related to the sheer breadth of his weekly activities. If he'd stuck to being a pundit on Sky I would probably still have the wool over my eyes.

I'm not buying Neville the commentator, Neville the pundit, Neville the columnist, Neville the spokesman for ex players, Neville the United legend, Neville the coach, Neville the manager, Neville the non-league chairman, Neville the construction magnate, Neville the restaurateur... Kiko can fill in any gaps I've missed. I'm just not buying it.

[Ian]

United in full dickhead swarm-the-ref mode today. I keep expecting to see Roy Keane and Jaap Stam chasing him across the pitch.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oh shit, I forgot Neville the hotelier.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Should have taken off Lingard right after he scored.

'Mon the Rash.

[Adamski]

Pogba watch isn't even fun anymore. He is utterly horrendous.

[Giggles]

Neville having the most boring voice in the world doesn't help his cause either.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ibra is such a don.

[Giggles]

As soon as the cross was hit there was never a doubt.

[Davgooner]

You can't leave him unmarked lads.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Again just pure good luck for United getting the break off someone's heel to start that move. They've done nothing to win this game except be Man Utd. The Ferguson years are back.

Christ.

[Lewis]

United robbed [The] Villa in their last appearance in this, so Southampton are doomed.

[Lewis]

Why does 'Zlatan' get all this praise for not going to America/China when he spent four years wasting his time in France? The time-wasting cunt should have been here years ago.

[SvN]

That's our worst performance in a while, yet we won. Jimmy's post only adds lube to my post match wank.

[Foe]

Le tissier is going to be seething.

[SvN]

How can anyone not watch Zlatan's post match interview and not love the man?

[Giggles]

He's an absolute legend of a man.

[Lewis]

Put your tracksuit top back on, Wayne, lad. Don't go out like that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I guess it's slightly better than John Terry, shouldn't be getting it first ffs.

[Giggles]

Rooney? John Terry will pop up in a Utd kit next.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We really should bring back Park and Evra for when we win trophies. They knew how to celebrate.

[Lewis]

I think Corporate Jose got the celebration levels about right. Remember when he chucked his title medal into the crowd for attention? Fanny.

[Dark Soldier]

Jimmy's post only adds lube to my post match wank.

Take it with a pinch of salt, I've heard he doesn't really watch football these days.

[Smiffy]

How can anyone not watch Zlatan's post match interview and not love the man?

It's killing me, it really is.

[John]

I think I remember reading that this win puts Man Utd level on total trophies with Liverpool. I want someone to film Phil Thompson's reaction to that realisation.

It was praise really, for exactly that reason. Put the same players in Arsenal shirts with Wenger and you lose 3-1.

We were shit today but it's all about the win in the final. Nice to actually see united win something in the flesh.

[Lewis]

Their issue seems to be that he sees more money in plush hotels than in getting Bury a new roundabout. EXPOSED.

[Dark Soldier]

To be honest Bury doesn't need a new roundabout.

[Waffdon]

Nainggolan has been a bit good this year.

[Ian]

Came across the Real Madrid match while channel-flicking and had a look at the goalscoring stats in La Liga this year. How come the top goalscorers all have (relatively) sane numbers rather than the usual 70 goals Messi has bummed past everybody at this point? Wikipedia tells me the useless little twat is only scoring a goal a game so far.

And Ronaldo not even that.

[Offshore Toon]

They've had to stop the doping.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They're getting old.

Also Xavi isn't there anymore and Iniesta is also getting old. Suarez himself is 30 now.

That's brilliant, what tits.

[Disco]

£40k damage, get a grip.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Those Thais are loving it.

[Lewis]

The weird Jamie Vardy lookalike got scammed (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-39050298), which is pretty lo...


It's the reputation I'm bothered about. I don't really give two monkeys about the money.

You wot mate?

[Giggles]

That's some hit.

[CJay]

:moop:

Game raising twats.

[Giggles]

Throwing themselves in front of shots and all. This is as shameful as Chelsea rocking up and lolling Spurs off the pitch at the tail end of last season.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Liverpool are very bad, it has to be said. Wimping out of every challenge.

[Lewis]

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers is on course to take plucky little Celtic to the Scottish title. You messed up, Liverpool. You messed up big time.

[niko_cee]

Maybe Liverpool will be able to defend when more than half of their 'defenders' are actual defenders, even outwith the goalkeeper situation.

Danny Drinkwater lolling volleys in from 30 yards though? Oh, ok.

Looks like Firmino has joined whatever cult it is that has sabotaged Sturridge's career.

[Sam]

Can't help but think cunts with regards to this Leicester side.

[Smiffy]

Back in time for the second half so don't worry, the comeback will start shortly.

[Giggles]

Someone really needs to go in high and put one of Mane's kneecaps somewhere halfway down his shin. You've them beat then.

[Adamski]

Or no need to be a cunt when there's a defence like that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I know Lovren is out, but should they not have other defenders of some sort on the staff?

[CJay]

I know Lovren is out, but should they not have other defenders of some sort on the staff?

We loaned him out to Palace.

Dreadful tonight. So it goes.

[niko_cee]

I know Lovren is out, but should they not have other defenders of some sort on the staff?

It makes me worry that Joe Gomez might not be all I've built him up to be in my mind.

They've Klavan too, but he's fairly useless. At least he is a centre back though. All that said, nothing warms the heart like seeing Lucus 'the defender' going up for corners, having spent the rest of his career as one of the two left behind.

Oh yeah, Sakho, no idea what's happened there.

[CJay]

Is this Leicester back, or just a repeat of he Man City crushing against a crap defence who play really high up the pitch?

[Giggles]

Or no need to be a cunt when there's a defence like that.

Ah look there you are.

[Dark Soldier]

Is this Leicester back, or just a repeat of he Man City crushing against a crap defence who play really high up the pitch?

Gone back to their beloved 442 and shown what a shower of cunts they are with it.

[Smiffy]

It's such a Liverpool thing to do it's rather <insert here>. :uhoh:

[Kikó]

Pretty good weekend so far.

[Smiffy]

Here it comes. :chief: No pressure. 4-3.

[Kikó]

We have Bournemouth next Saturday and they've got to be worried about being dragged into the relegation zone. Liverpool are the gift that keeps on giving.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lol at Liverpool.

[Giggles]

That was nice :)

[Jimmy Floyd]

That should see United past Liverpool for the season. Next target is them falling into the clutches of Everton.

[Pleb]

So are we on course for a Champions League title run and a relegation avoidance from Leicester then?

[niko_cee]

United winning the league cup muddies the race for 8th or whatever it is, particularly with the way the FA Cup is lining up.

[Jimmy Floyd]

United winning the league cup muddies the race for 8th or whatever it is, particularly with the way the FA Cup is lining up.

Unless something dodgy happens in the FA Cup, 7th will get you in the Europa League. Bad luck. Although I suppose you could be ambushed by Pulis's marauding Baggies.

[CJay]

Do Southampton get a spot as runners up? Give me the Europa any day, I quite like it.

[Max Power]

Shades of the Man City game with massive gaps in behind for Vardy to run into. Hopefully not another false dawn. Hull at home on Saturday is probably a better test of "Shakey's" credentials.

Ndidi is quality though and that strike from Drinkwater was just lovely

[Shindig]

Do Southampton get a spot as runners up? Give me the Europa any day, I quite like it.

I think it goes to the next league spot.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I hope Shakespeare gets the job just for the gags. Alan Parry slipped in a 'this has been the winter of Leicester's discontent' last night.

Suarez 97 points.

[Shindig]

"Outstanding Achievement Award-winning" Brendan Rodgers.

[John Arne]

Klavan must be absolutely awful in training if Lucas is being picked ahead of him a centrehalve. Awful.

If only we had a tall, quick, strong, shite-passer Frenchman we could call upon.....

[Adamski]

I think it goes to the next league spot.

Yeah pretty sure I read this.

What happens if the teams in the FA Cup final have already qualified for the CL? Does it then go to 8th spot too?

[phonics]

Liverpool have celebrated embarassing themselves by appointing the bloke who ran EA Sports as CEO.

[John Arne]

How is that embarrassing? He's an office-jockey, not a coach. He also worked at Microsoft, Reebok and Sega.

[Giggles]

Final piece of the jigsaw.

[Shindig]

Yeah pretty sure I read this.

What happens if the teams in the FA Cup final have already qualified for the CL? Does it then go to 8th spot too?

Correct. And Peter Moore is a seasoned corporate veteran, Phonics.

[John Arne]

Final piece of the jigsaw.

This time next year.....

Remember when they hired Jonathan Lieu(w?) as Press Secretary? That was a good one. Especially after SG praised it as a genius appointment.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Jonathan Liew the journalist? He has never been Liverpool press secretary.

[phonics]

I can't even google it. It's all Sean Spicer or Paul Nuttall. Some journalist with an Asian name definitely got sacked or had to resign in disgrace. I feel like I'm going mad.

[Jimmy Floyd]

No I know what you mean now. That bloke who SG loved. It wasn't Liew though.

Christian something. No.

[John Arne]

Jen Chang?

He was a fucking disaster.

[Mazuuurk]

Liverpool will bounce back and trounce Arsenal next weekend. Battle of the bottlers, but I think Arsenal will end up the bigger bottler of the two this year.

[Kikó]

Arsenal are better than Liverpool and will win handsomely 0-0.

[Adamski]

Jen Chang :D I forgot about that. He started bullying the made up journo guy, Duncan something.
