Brand new modern fitba 2018-19 thread!! SEE YOU!!

I think they did a documentary or something together recently.

 

That Joshua doc on Netflix? I thought that was really good. Granted I watched it on a Friday night with ale so a great many things might've seemed good.

As a totes random aside, there's a docu series on there about the structure of mythical stories called myths and monsters which is well worth checking

 

Just googled it. It was called Joshua v Klitschko: Return to Wembley. Was on the BBC (I really should have known that).

 

Sad and not surprising at all.

 

Could be worse feebes: you think mike Ashley's a low life, imagine Paul 'the vulture' singer owned yer club! #modernfitbawispish

 

Ugh, forget about the football aspect. These kinds of people need to be executed.

 

They rule the world

 

My cat is starting to resemble a condescending Tory bastard.

 

Remember when avid Celtic saepporter, George Galloway, started tae resemble a cat?

 

Hehehehehe

 

Whit a commie zoomer!

 

Was that you on the line?

 

No. The laddie in question did seem pretty reasonable but.

Just kilting!

 

Anyone else gonna watch Liverpool-PSG?

 

No I don't have those channels and my laptop overheats when I stream stuff.

PSG have an insane attacking lineup so the best I can hope for is a draw.

 

Stuck a fiver on Spurs vs Inter to draw and PSG to beat Liverpool. It pays out £46. Cash out now at 1-1 in Spurs game is worth a tenner.

 

Mauro Icardi........remember that name, good striker, really should be at a "Major" club.

 

You bet against Liverpool?? At Paisley's funeral Kenny Dalglish put his hand on your shoulder and said "shouldae bin YE"

 

I sort of go where the money is. I want Liverpool to win and will happily sacrifice £10 a week for that pleasure.

Unfortunately, betting against ones own team is rampant. Nobody says they do it. Everybody does it.

Slice and Jimmy don't do it. They don't have any money. Or a team.

Little Big Bill refuses to bet against his own company for fear he falls fouls of Scotlands notoriously strict corporate denis laws.

And

Inter Milan just scored. Fuck.

 

They owe Dunga

 

Spurs in crisis?

They have had bad starts to a season before but roared back into 4th or 5th but this is bad, they've now lost 3 on the bounce, having smashed United 3-0.

Seems a bit like they have an identity crisis.

 

Did you hear what QPR's best 11 players are called?

Dung A.

Did you hear what QPR's next best 11 players are called?

Dung B.

 

Liverpool 6/5 {+120} and PSG 9/4 {+225}

It's been a long long time since Liverpool started favourites but worse than evens in a European game at home.

Tells you how highly rated PSG are.

 

Spurs are such a 'whatever' club... even their kit is forgettable...

 

Another team artificially made into a giant via the money of dictators and slave drivers

 

Yes, but the Roman Army was run by Dictators and Slave drivers and they kicked a lot of arse.

 

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics


Have a read of this for a bit of spin, then ask PSG where they would sooner be playing, the Bernabeu or..........King Power Stadium.


Inter stun Spurs with late comeback, Messi hat-trick inspires Barca

Anfield is looking lovely under the lights tonight, despite the drizzle, and the stadium is surely is going to play its part in the end result.

What was obvious to anyone who was either here, watching on TV or listening on BBC Radio 5 live at any of the club's European games last season, was how big a part the Anfield atmosphere played in Liverpool's run to the Champions League final.

The Reds won four and drew two of their home games in this competition last in 2017-18, including those memorable victories over Manchester City and Roma in the knock-out stage and a 7-0 demolition of Spartak Moscow in their group.

More of the same is needed tonight, but it might surprise you to see that Liverpool's recent home record in this competition is not among the European elite.

Their Anfield CL win % of 52.9% in the past 10 seasons, with nine wins from 17 home games, puts them down in 23rd place, below FC Porto, Malaga, Olympiakos and Bordeaux.

There is another English club at the very top of the tree, though. No, not Manchester City, Chelsea or Manchester United - it's Leicester City, who won four of their five home games in the 2016-17 season.

1. Leicester 80%
2. Barcelona 78.6%
3. Bayern Munich 78.6%
4. Real Madrid 76.8%

 

They don't own a club
