As I've said before I think I preferred Gloom when he was a pessimistic fucker. Some of his comments need bookmarking for response to his inevitable meltdown if we don't finish top 4 Sounds cliché but I'm just enjoying each game as it comes and giving little thought to where we might end up. By virtue of that, asking "are we in the title race?" isn't something I'm going to give an opinion on. I stated at the end of the season that I expected us to finish 7th. Anything higher than that I would see as a bonus. I maintain that thought. Leeds next, who I expect we'll give an absolute hiding and then it's Arsenal. I think our 2nd defeat of the season will probably come at the Emirates.

Aye can’t complain with that. Home and avoided both Manc clubs. Hopefully they’ll get each other in the SFs as well.

Alex was spot on the other day when he said we all need to stop tormenting ourselves by reading the depressing political shit on Twitter. I've steered clear of it since and definitely feel better for it.

Nice one mate

Sorry to hear that HMHM. Shit times Was headhunted for a job and had the interview this afternoon. Went well so fingers crossed on an offer

Took the flexi rather than the saver rate I see. Where's your confidence, Adam? Also he's gone for 'crackhead central'.

They're both as bad as each other tbh. Both come across as cunts, Martinez especially. Someone needs to remind him how not to deal with a Trippier free kick

Even that was a 2nd hand rip off of Man United's rip off - "to see Matt Busby's Aces".

What an absolutely marvellous title thread. Martin, my friend I salute you

No doubt they have a speshul relatshunship with them.

The reality is that most likely neither us nor Sunderland were responsible for starting it, but I agree it's been sung by us as long as I care to remember. 'Hank Williams' is using it to suit his own narrative and mask the jealousy that we're still in the League Cup and they're not. Watch them try to absolutely discredit the competition should we make it to Wembley - yet the Papa Johns (or whatever the fuck it was called) Cup was something to rave about? Utter cunts.

It's the difference between expectation and hope for me. I expect us to finish top 10; I hope we finish in a European spot; Champions League would be magical and title would be on a Leicester City scale. Conversely, if we don't finish top 4 I expect the likes of CT & Gloomy to be disappointed. Absolutely we could win this league, but then so too could any other team in it.

It was a bullshit decision. Fuck all about whether he did or didn't touch the ball, the linesman changed his decision on the strength of the arguments from the Bournemouth players. If he thinks he's interfering with play, why take 30s to put the flag up?

Nothing more you can do but be there for him HMHM. He'll appreciate you for that alone. Sorry to hear the shit news.

Been the best since Italia '90 for me. The final has been the best since 1986.

I agree with that, especially with regards to us. When the majority of the written media were suggesting we were acting like entitled cunts for wanting better than Mike Ashley and that we were ungrateful for not recognising his financial management, Winter has always said it for what it actually was - that we just wanted a team that tries.

Maddison has been left out of the Leicester squad this evening. Makes no odds from a cup-tied perspective as he already featured for them in a previous round. Be interesting to see if he's selected on Boxing Day.

Are you tests all from the same batch? My mate had that until someone suggested it might be a faulty batch. Got a test from elsewhere and it was negative; tried another from the same batch and positive again.

About the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy Its current design dates back to 1974. As one of the most recognised sports symbols in the world and a priceless icon, the original FIFA World Cup™ Trophy can only be touched and held by a very select group of people, which includes former winners of the FIFA World Cup™ and heads of state. Because regulations state that the original trophy must remain in FIFA’s possession and cannot be won outright, the team winning the FIFA World Cup™ retains the authentic trophy temporarily and is then permanently awarded the tournament edition trophy, the FIFA World Cup™ Winner’s Trophy (which is gold-plated, rather than solid gold, and engraved with the year, host country and winners of the respective event). https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/articles/fifa-world-cup-tm-trophy-tour-by-coca-cola-kicks-off-global-journey-in-dubai

Best mates with Infantino, innit?
