SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

O'Neil goes on to praise Desmond b/c '25 years ago he could have gone for bigger names but he chose me & I'm forever grateful'.

Yeah and after 25 years of Desmonds downsizing a guy in O'Neils position at the time wouldn't touch us with a pole, never mind the bigger names we could have had. Saint Martin needs to lift his head from his own naval and smell the waft.

Between calling supporters bullies for criticising his tax dodging billionaire dad nepobaby Desmond pedantically points out to we unwashed that there's alot of money at Man City, Real Madrid now. Midtjyland ya cunt. Braga. Fucking Borat FC.

DIE

 

Yeah I thought similar from the trailer. Maybe hard to find somebody with that intensity

 

Oi Hut.

 

Mmmmmyas?

 

The longer I live the more overrated I find Keane to be, in any of his incarnations. His Saipan thing was ineffective melodrama.

I don't dispute the feckless corruption of the FAI, but Keane as some sort of frustrated genius forced to work alongside potato-eating mouth-breathers....nah....not buying it.

 

You ever get this feeling?

 

That's my whole life, whatever region I'm in :(

 

And here we go again....

 

Liverpools goalkeepers can see through people. Other goalkeepers can't. Only possible conclusion.

 

Arnie Slut looks like a penis with teeth.

 

The attempt to put the angst down to nihilist witterings of right wing hooligan kids is a fucking disgrace. Such a cheap contrived gimmick. You can literally smell the cunts dreaming it up in some room.

 

First it was all Rodgers fault for complaining. Then just the green brigades fault. Now it's the entire fanbase's fault, including the shareholders. Obviously I wasn't there in person but several who were are of the opinion that Nepobabies diatribe was calculated to provoke enough of a response to justify adjournment and evade questions. Questions like 'why are Midtjyland & Bodo better fitbaw teams than us and what you gonna dae about it?'. To which they'd certainly reply 'we don't recognise the premises of the question, our model is very successful' etc. Ahem, emperor Desmond, your wee pecker is showing.

 

Superficially there's no reason why the best team in Denmark shouldn't be better than the best team in Scotland. For years the best teams in Portugal or Spain were better than the best teams in bigger "more footbally" countries like, for example, England.

So there's that.

But the board probably don't even have the gumption to straightbat the fucking question like this.

Desmond is just a classic capitalist. He has no emotional attachment to the thing and considers to be morons those who do.
It's all dollars and cents. Those who "don't get it" are "plebs".

In the meantime a guy who could be King prefers to be a hated Earl.

 

There's one really good reason we should outperform Midtjyland or Bodo - we have roughly ten times their starting income net of Uefa prize money or player sales (incomes generated by football operations success).

Celtic are still top 3 outwith the top 5 leagues by that metric with Benfica & Ajax.

I'll follow the direction of your thinking far enough to acknowledge Portgugese & Dutch clubs probably do have a ceritus paribus advantage over us in player trading & development. But we're miles off bumping up against whatever ceiling separates us from them

In Ange's first two windows with a different CEO in the room and both Lawwells out the building we signed about ten of the twelve good players we've signed in the last 6 years. A 6 month window of football operations competence. Then Dom McKay was forced out, the Lawwells came back and we've signed one decent player in 4 years since out of about 40 attempts. The academy? I think they're running a child labour sweatshop for the retail arm in there

 

Meanwhile, quietly, Rangers go and actually sack their board jelllll

 

I passed out drunk during the first half after Gana got a red card for fighting Keane. I was so disgusted, I already chalked this up as an L.

It was an hour after I woke up that an update popped up on my Facebook. WTF? WE WON!!!

 

When you said Everton will be in a dogfight, did you mean with your club???

Just asking.

 

09. Spurs
10. Man U
11. Everton
12. Liverpool

It's a dog eat dog world.

 

Eze is such a beast. Made at QPR, proud of the little fella.

 

Bayern equalise. Good game this, 1-1.

 

Lennart Karl looks an absolute superstar in the making.

 

I legit have no clue what has happened to Liverpool. I get spending big and bringing in new signings can upset balance but this is on another level.

 

This is worse than Man City's collapse in the first half of last season (and considerably less amusing)

 

Cool image I'd never seen.

 

When did West Ham play Celtic?? Cool photo.

 

It was Moore's testimonial game in 1970 (3-3). So just a friendly.

A couple more in the 'Billy McNeil shakes people's hands genre'

 

Andy Robertson looks shot. Kerkez seems clueless. Fucking Allison can't stay fit and don't get me started on the total abandonment of responsibilities by that clown whose name I won't even mention.

They have not taken a single fucking point in a game they've trailed.

 

Wiser has obviously forgotten the infamous Liverpool collapse and run in 2021/2022 that saw them definitely out of the running for top 4 and finish ....3rd.

If Liverpool are shit right now, and Everton are level, and flying, well.....
