Frank overcome with emotion there, chewing his chewing gum like an even bigger cunt than usual.

Shit, they just need another 25 goals to overtake us.

Just back from Cyprus, absolute disgrace how many businesses were flouting the rules and eating outside unlike us British who had played fair and stuck to the red tape until we finally won our Brexit freedom.

A season when we've had to go up against almost everything that lady luck and more have had to throw against us. 7th is pretty decent. Slightly disappointing in the end since we were in the driving seat barely a week ago, but we gota keep perspective. Back Howe in the market, he's what makes this team what it is. He's the man who'll get us that first trophy. Brilliant season coming up.

The difference is massive. Really makes you think that a proper backup keeper should be moving up the shopping list

Thread Obviously there's a bit of good fortune for them as he wasn't with the squad.

bbc final score currently indulging in the most nauseating red dipper/klopp love in on a scale which shouldn't really be surprising. but by god it is. understand this you cunts, everybody but you and the self entitled despise lfc. hope no fucker pays your television licence ever again. fuck off horse mouth, you won't be missed.

I’d want Man City to win anyway but I really hope they do us a favour next week. It would be just like Man Utd to win it though. However finishing above we them for the first time in the PL-era feels significant

hang it tills it's gasping for breath. stretch it till it's all but dismembered. disembowel it. behead the fucker. chop the cunt up and stick the bloodied parts on the city walls. fucking abomination and an insult to all those who really love football.

What a season for Bruno BTW, ever present in our side, played the most minutes for us by a large margin and is why we could still nab European football despite an unprecedented volume of injuries. Really important for our European coefficient for Man City to win the Cup now!

Quality goal tbf though.

Frank looks like the type of cunt that goes on yoga retreats and tells his mates how good tantric shagging is.

Hall looking better every week now. He's a talent for sure.

I hope Arteta is haunted by their defeat at our place and that special, special goal.

Gutted for Gordon after the season he's had. Hope he needs to rest and doesn't have to be safegated

They'll end up in a scandal of some description at some point during Boehly's ownership around FFP avoidance for sure. The rule manipulation and general dodginess going on in the public eye must be nothing compared to what they are doing behind closed doors away from prying eyes.

Rumours abound that he has fallen back in with Howe, and back in to Mrs Wyki.

Difficult to see this being a good thing for Brighton. This tension is never going away if Bloom ultimately sees buy low, sell high as the club's reason for being. It's not exactly gonna attract top managerial talent when, every time your policy works and you unearth a gem, another club just takes them off your hands. I feel bad for Ipswich that their manager is being linked with every vacancy too.

FYP

It was a clear Usyk win, but some of the rounds were fairly close where Usyk actually put in more work just to counter some big hits from Fury. Usyk had the first 3 and I had Fury with the next 3 but once Usyk smashed him in the nose, Fury tailed away and was lights out on those ropes. His eyes were in different postcodes before the ref jumped in which I thought was too early. He either stops it as a contest or Fury takes a few more before hitting the canvas. Weirdly when Fury was in control in the 5th and 6th, he didn't go on and stay on the front foot, so Usyk just dictated a higher tempo. Fury probably was in his best shape for this fight but I'm glad he lost for his disrespectful showponying in the first few rounds and his complete lack of class at the final bell. He's a fucking idiot and Usyk did a proper job of it.

I'll help you, us young'uns need to stick together. Copy the url and switch out x.com for twitter.com. Simple as that, fellow young person! High five.

I think that both he and Bruno play similar roles albeit in different ways. Both can defend and can evade pressure, both can get forward and create opportunities. He's not quite the out and out defensive midfield, but he's more defensive than a true blue central midfielder. He's kind of box to box but lacks the physicality you'd expect from that role. He's definitely not an attacking midfielder, but he does create chances. He's not a regista, mezzala, or carrilero, but I think the term that best describes him is Segundo Volante. https://medium.com/@moderntactics343/tactical-investigation-what-is-a-segundo-volante-2bb3491cbf5b Now, I know a lot of you absolutely fucking HATE foreign muck, but honestly read the above and I think it describes his role very well. It even references Barella who we were very much interested in, before we switched to Tonali. FWIW I think the gaping hole has more to do with Pope's absence than it is our midfield. If Pope was fit our defence would be higher up the pitch, closer to the midfield.

A similar colour photo.

Until he’s called his 9 year old a cunt for buying pall mall when he needed it for the full set then he’s not competitive enough imo.

Mate, he's just had to cancel his tour of Australia. Show some goddamn respect.

Tough break for @OTF

Wilson taking a break from Wykiki's Mrs to make an appearance.

Hahahaha Hahaha badge kissing hat wearing cunt. I. Fucking love that man.

We've landed right on our feet with Lewis Hall.

I think the Villa lads have been on the hoy since they got CL. They're getting pumped.

There was an attack about 10 minutes before half time where they played the ball in behind where you knew Dubravka would be on his line and it would have been dodgy but Pope was just there to collect it like it was absolutely nothing. Welcome back Nick.

And the finish! This is BRILLIANT (youre welcome hmhm)

Thought I'd watch some of the build up and was presented with Rio and Keown on TNT, and fucking Klopp watching highlights of his time at Liverpool on Sky. Fuck all of that, I'll come back at kick off.

Two on one is a bit unfair.

I hope Wolves fucking batter them, to at least completely sour the day for Sky and Klopp.

Prime Miniature 🙂

As an aside do any people remember the Millennium Bridge being brought down the Tyne to be put in place? The floating crane was fucking huge. Higher than the Tyne Bridge iirc. Look at the height of it compared to the Baltic, man

I thought it was a great fight with both of them going at it. These massive bouts can often be cagey and underwhelming. Fury looked good in the middle rounds but Usyk clearly won it in the 9th when the ref could have stopped the fight and fury was saved by the bell. How the fuck didn’t he go down The lights were out and the way he was bouncing off the ropes was comical. Glad Usyk won in after hearing Fury’s salty comments at the end. The better fighter won. Did anyone notice that Fury coach was telling him one thing when he was in his corner and his dad was contradicting him telling fury he was ahead in the fight, when he clearly wasn’t. Bizarre from old man fury and probably time to sling him from his corner

The ref was a fucking disgrace tbh. You either stop the fight or let Usyk finish him off. You don’t step in and give him an eight count which was actually longer than 8 seconds. It was a close fight until then and I think Ritchie Woodall’s scorecard that had Fury a round up until then was probably spot on (at that point). Although a lot of those early rounds were close and difficult to score. Usyk won the last three rounds though so that should’ve been a 5 point swing with the 9th. I think fitness really showed in the end. Also I thought Fury had a big opportunity after hurting Usyk in the 5th with some body shots. But he sat back and admired his work instead of going for the kill. Excellent fight like. Shame Fury had to be an ungracious wanker at the end. But that’s entirely in character. The TNT commentary team were very optimistic in terms of how they saw the fight from Fury’s pov too

Plus a £40m deal for another Brazilian. Neither of them joining until 2025.

That would spoil the mystique 🙂

I think those really big ones were thought of before the oil crisis in the early 70s and became uneconomic to run so that might be why.

So Chelsea agree a £29m deal for a 17 year old. They're going to get bailed out belt the Saudis again along with Man Utd aren't they?

I’m off tomorrow just with the kids. Wife might follow in the car later.

And every single credible source has said the clause only applies to foreign clubs

YouTube is gonna feed me a parcel of shite for at least a week after watching that.

FYP.
