Pretty sure you were one of those saying I was a lunatic saying he should leave when I did. If you weren't apologies, either way, I've obviously pushed your buttons, again. Doesn't take much, does it?

Not just me that thought there was a bit of a massive and unexpected overreaction there then.
The beef with SvN has been brewing under the surface for ages. He really doesn't like me, I'm not sure why. Also not sure why he thinks my take on ten Hag's situation is wildly wrong either. Maybe he doesn't and just chose to wade in with a random insult as that's just the way he rolls.
The best SvN seethe of all time was when he insisted that Indians dip their Samosas in Ketchup because the British-Indians he went to school with did.
Did he not sack someone as well for the most minute thing?
It's Zeitgeist, autumn 2023. If your team loses, you have a massive double-down seethe, completely lose every shred of maturity, and call everyone a cunt. You should have seen what I had planned for Monday, never saw the light of day.
As has been covered by esteemed journalists the world over. Spurs won, really. Let's go.
All I did was call Yevrah a retard - and let's be honest, he is.
This place is always better with beef.
Speaking of seething, I'm in bits about them canning Caramac. That Milkybar Gold isn't the same, and the less said about Cadbury Caramilk the better.
I found this very strange from a business perspective. Cadbury goes big on introducing the caramel bar and its spin-offs, and then Caramac gets canned. Do the public just buy any old shit in a Cadbury wrapper, rendering the Caramac helpless to resist? Like grey squirrels and red squirrels.
You barely see Caramac anywhere, and Nestle have recently rolled it into 'Gold' Munchies and Smarties buttons, so it might be a work to get sad cases starting petitions and then they'll re-launch it.
I was on the verge of being annoyed about this earlier, then realised I hadn't bought a Caramac in about 10 years. I suspect the same is true for a lot of the outraged Twitter dweebs.
They're absolute next level when stoned. Alongside Curly-Wurlys.
Also Rashford's brother been arrested on charges of domestic violence apparently. Cracking night for the man.
Hojlund has a good finish in him, but my god his first touch almost Lukaku levels. A big lol at Garnacho giving it the sush gesture after the 3rd man utd goal, come on mate, you've been there long enough.

Bruno was giving it large too. The mental side of the sport is almost as big as the technical/physical and unfortunately, you're simply set up to fail when you install someone as mentally pathetic as Bruno captain.
I feel like you only see Caramac’s in a three-pack nowadays, and usually only in corner shops.
I'm a twit
Good news for united is Rashford is banned for the final two games in the group.
The days of the caramac kitkat were the peak.
I too, am seething. About Caramac, not Man Utd.
I will have to get my fix from McVitie's Gold bars. Milkybar Gold is wank.
Caramac is rank.
Oh hello, Captain Truffles has got something to say.
If it was 95% cocoa from the depths of the Amazon he'd be stuffing bars up his arse.
I like all sorts of crap chocolate. Caramac is just horrible.
DS you do somewhat miss out on the selling point of chocolate if you're boofing it.
Of course he was bored.
Tsimikas is such a liability.
Assume that must have taken a slight deflection otherwise Kweeveen's been up to his old being shit tricks again as well.
He's picking a bad time to have a run of poor form.
The best DM in the world is struggling as well. Perhaps the reduced playing time is an issue. I'd be surprised if he and Scottish Messi reappear in the 2nd half.
It never ceases to amaze me how shit Ajax is this season.
Jesus, we are fucking useless tonight.
Cracking finish.
You can always lose games but the disappointing thing here is it just looks like the other team want it more. Probably understandable considering the state of the group, but frustrating still.
That is such a very strange own goal.
Gahahahaha, put that down to our formerly fat Polish friend.
I'm feeling that burn baby.
The relentlessness of European football is absolutely wrecking Brighton's squad.
I don't think any of us are quite prepared for how relentless it will be next year. Our friend the Swiss System features the usual six games in the autumn, then two games in two weeks late January to finish it off, then an extra two-legged knockout round for teams finishing 9th-24th in said System. So if you came 9th and then made the final, you'd play 17 CL games as opposed to the current 13. And will this very same format be replicated in the Europa and Conference Leagues? Why, of course it will.
I think it’ll be better. Teams will be able to half arse it if they wish since it’s harder to not get a play off place.
Would squad selections allow for clubs to play their reserves in Europe? I know that kinda can happen with dead rubbers but I want to see a proper third string scenario.
VAR shambles once more.
This is the best bet for a replacement.
Unless you're say Man City or one of the absolute no-hopers at the bottom of the group, you're going to need to be putting a strong team out for at least 7 of your 8 games, if not all of them. Almost all teams will have something to play for in the final game.
From limited FM experience the new format is actually quite good. It also does the correct thing in not allowing you to drop down into another competition once you're out of your own.
Didn't see the disallowed goal, but, given they had to change the stupid handball rule to make it not handball it it hits a legal body part and then an arm, if the beeb's write-up is correct:
Isn't that not handball?Alexis Mac Allister chested the ball onto his arm earlier in the move
Obviously the above interpretation opens up all sorts of ways to cheat by controlling it with your arm as the old chest arm grab type thing then becomes a permissible thing, but, you know, they changed the rule.
Good to get VAR shithousing out of the way in meaningless games though, if it all evens itself out.
Think the UEFA interpretation of handball is different from the PL one. It's a great system.
I thought our European betters were the ones getting it right though. Have I been misled?
The most random of all thoughts, but: no one says 'striker' anymore, do they?
