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

It's a double edged thing but there was a period when Liverpool were playing Villareals and Trabzonspors and what have you.

Now...........Real Madrid, Dortmund, Roma, PSG, City..........big games.

Allisson had a minor mare today but not buying the BS that he's another Karius

4 from 4.

 

Mike Ashley promises he'll spend money if Benitez signs a 5 year deal... Benitez, no fool, says he'll sign a 5 year deal if Ashley spends money

Should there be a rule that a club has to demonstrate that they are making a genuine effort to win? If so, how would it be enforced? How would you prove it one or the other? I pity Newcastle supporters, who deserve better

 

And they just scored!

 

I swear Newcastle away support is the loudest thing in the shite Emptihad

 

Fuck off Oilchester cunts.

MTF

 

Once again, Rafa refuses to allow his side be rolled over and bumfucked for the televised benefit of millions of Daves from Midchester who 'luv Citeh massive bigtime' and the shite starts about 'being negative' etc. Every single one of Oilchester's side cost more individually than the entire NUFC starting eleven. What Benitez is doing is trying to manage a fucking mismatch.

MTF

 

What is going on here is a disgrace.

First off, and you are new to this, but you have recognized Benitez is shrewd and canny. He's no clown.

Secondly.......Ashley just bought a chain of shops over here called "House of Fraser".

He wants to turn them into the "Harrods of the High Street".

Ashley has money. He will not spend it on Newcastle United because he wants somebody to come in and buy it after he has asset stripped it but before the natural consequences of asset-stripping {namely relegation} have set in.

Today, two of the players Newcastle sold to boost the balance sheet {Dwight Gayle and Aleksander Mitrovic} both scored for their new clubs. Gayle got a brace.

Mike Ashley has in his employ one of the best people in football, Benitez. A guy who is working at least one full level below his true worth. Ashley doesn't deserve Benitez.

His treatment of Benitez, who has gone to to the Champions of England and forced them to fight to the bitter end today, suggests that the guy has some sort of sociopathic disorder.

He's a poor mans Jimmy Goldsmith or Phillip Green. An utter asset stripper, sweatshop peddler.

 

Benitez going to "Etihad Towers" and losing 2-1 is the same as me getting in the ring with Anthony Joshua and going 12 rounds and dropping a narrow decision.

Instead, the papers are full of bullshit, absolute crap, about the last 10 years of "City's History" since 2008.

Like it was some sort of a fucking Bill Shankly era where shrewd tactical decisions and astute management had propelled them to some sort of legendary status.

3 fucking leagues in a decade? With Billions of $$$??

The backlash against Benitez is simply how people that don't know anything about football respond to seeing somebody who does know something about football go about his business.

 

On the BBC, there was all this noise after Sterling scored about how "Benitez is too negative.....this could be 5, or 6, or 7".

When Newcastle equalized, it was total radio silence.

"Oh, look, this guy actually knows something about football. We'll shut the fuck up now"

Total morons.

Think about what Feebles said................everybody playing for City cost, as an individual, MORE than the ENTIRE team that Benitez fielded today.

 

It's been 8 years now, I'm not THAT new ;)

 

I know it... like I said before, Qatar getting the WC makes sense because they own (along with UAE) the contracts of about 70% of the players who will be there

Brutal, slave-driving dictatorships putting a nice shine on their images via the world's favorite sport

 

I wish people had focused more on that.

Has it ever happened before where one team had all of it's players cost, individually, more than the entire squad they were playing against?

How is this supposed to be competitive?

It doesn't happen in American football.......and America is the lost-and-found of corporate bull$hit.

 

American sports is ironically very socialistic compared to Europe... even baseball which is frequently lambasted here for inequalities

 

Possession stats for this match:

Celtic 116%
Rangers -14%

Nevertheless, the cunts are still level at 0-0

 

Rogic should've touched it right back to McGregor ... why's he running off with it?

 

ELEVEN corners and fuck-all

 

THAT WAS LIQUID FOOTBALL

 

Finally Celtic score. Crazy how much possession they've had and how many times they've hit the woodwork. McGregor has been good in goal for the evil Rangers.

 

And the good looking supporters celebrate

 

Wonder if hut is there at the match

 

Surely Hut is there just staring at Stevie G and laughing.

 

The referee wears the sash his father wore

 

Rangers sending on some kid in a sports bra

 

This 800 away ticket nonsense is completely daft... idiotic stuff, instigated by Rangers

 

Gerrard has done well with Rangers so far.

1-0 away to a team that has been regularly humping Rangers for some time is not a bad result for his first O.F. Derby.

Gerrard looks, at this basic level, to have some idea what he is doing.

 

Jaja, every home game. The goal felt like cumming after a marathon sesh, nearly as much relief and exhaustion as pleasure. Pure fatigued today, death grips at the barras Friday, friends round Saturday then woke up at 9:30 and started boozing again for the fitbaw and stayed out celebrating. Can't wait to get back home to my bed

 

"ROHA ROHA ROHA ROHA WA HELL ELL FADADA "

Couldn't agree more mate.

I wonder if these commentators live in countries where they go to Mosque, pretend they give a fuck and then hurry off to the TV Studio thinking "thank fuck that's over, now it's Celtic vs Rangers, YAS!"

 

My shower packed in last week, finally the guy comes to fix it this morning; walks about the hoose poking boilers meaninglessly, turning taps on and off saying 'hmmmmm....interesting. Hmmmm.....interesting.' My expectation of an overdue shower starts to wane. Finally he lets me know that the shower is gubbed (!) and says 'we'll get wan ordered up n I'll be in touch soon'. I admit I'm naive to these things but I woulda thought a replacement shower might be something you brought to a call out for a fucking broken shower. The geezer was wearing orange and blue underwear, legit think the shower was in the van until he saw the sellik scarf on the bedroom door.

 

Oh aye and he managed to spill a full bottle of mouthwash out 'accidentally' then hid it behind the shower curtain. You couldn't make it up. Still better than my last plumber.

Jejeje!
