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

Plus Matt Goss’ ‘Silent Night’ is a good ‘un.

 

Great read, Irish. Ah hated Bros at the time but mightae accidentally put some Grolsch tops on ma Doc Martens.

 

Liverpool making a massive statement

 

Yeah, and it got radioplayed like fuck too.

 

We knew this girl, she turned out to be a total moron in the end, she had a pair of really dark denim jeans and a bros patch on each kneecap, one of each of the twins.

We thought it was special.

It was shit.

 

Liverpool looking awesome.

 

So far so good.

Making a statement on so many levels, too.

Liverpool didn't just get back into the game quickly vs Arsenal, they utterly ripped initiative away from them and treated them like a 3rd tier outfit.

Thus demonstrating not just their superiority to Arsenal but to Tottenham too.

Tottenham did today what Liverpool have so often done in the past.........screw the pooch when presented with a major chance.

If Tottenham had won, Liverpool would have walked out today merely 3 points ahead.

Tottenham just didn't not win, they totally collapsed. Utterly. What that does to them I don't know but I would be surprised if they rebound at all.

Next Thursday isn't critical. It's Arnhem. It's Operation Market Garden for Liverpool. Avoid defeat, and we've just shortened the season by about 5 games.

Lose, and it's not over, but it's going to be that bit harder.

 

Maybe I miss the point but 13-14 was odd. Liverpool went into Christmas ahead and by New Years had lost big games at Chelsea and City and I think they were 4th by the turn of the New Year.

Yes...by the end of Play on Boxing Day Liverpool were 4th and 2 clear of Everton in 5th.

This has a different feel to it.

It's probably going to take a collapse, not a slip, now, to ruin things.

 

13-14 was weird because City had so many games in hand all the time, what was with that? So even though Liverpool looked like they had a big lead at times towards the end, City always had an extra two games to play so it was kind of a "false" lead. This time it does seem very different. If Liverpool beat City I think it's theirs.

 

Liverpool played with belief today, swagger. They're getting that feeling of knowing they're good and playing with cool confidence as a result. I hope they win it for their loyal support and for football itself

 

City lead

 

It's an overused expression. "Momentum"............Liverpool "Have Momentum"...........they need to go out there and "act as if".......act as if they are just vastly superior to all and sundry. I wonder if a sort of "Golota-Fear" will set in, the fear of being ahead and winning and not knowing what to do next.

 

That annoying moment you open this thread, think there have been twenty new posts but find out it's just 2 posts by Slice ::



Anyways David Silva has his new hair transplant so he's a happy little £200,000 a week boy and happy to oblige.

 

Southampton pretty much have nothing to offer, this is 4, 5 all over it.

 

As I was saying if it's not level soon I would be very surprised.

 

Fuck. Really needed Southampton to get to half time level.

 

JUst hoping that Nathan Redmond can do something and then if it's 2-3 with the match dragging on, City might shit the bed.

 

Pogba giving it to Mourinho no vaseline...any prospective employer will want to look at United suddenly scoring at leisure before getting on the blower to Jose

 

Two children, Mourinho and Pogba. In a fight between them, I will hold the jumpers and work both corners.

United need to FUCK OFF to Wembley next week and get something, that's as much say as they will have in the title race.

 

I think if Liverpool beat City in Jan it should be theirs.

 

Their next 6 or so fixtures afterwards are also eminently winnable while city have a tough run with two league cup semis thrown in too. This is liverpool's year, they just gotta reach out and grab it

 

I am watching the film now, it's fucking brilliant, like Spinal Tap but real

 

Agreed.

It's that Arrek Bordwin moment from GGGR, isn't it............

 

Fightbeats favourite film

 

Baldwin has said that his daughter's friends often speak to him as that character "you're nothing to me, Arrek Bordwin" ... which is hilarious

 

I presume that the Goss brothers are just stereotypical thick-as-shit Sarf Landaners?

 

Naturally.

Everybody on this site identifies with at least one character or one mentality expressed in that movie.

Vulture, Shyster, Grifter, Grafter, Trier, Loser, Winner, Snitch, Fuck Up, Try Hard, Die Hard you name it, it's all there.

 

Imagine being at one point a legitimate thespian with good roles who worked with good talent a la Lemmon, Pacino, etc etc and then getting old and having some privileged little piece of jail bait wander up to you and take the piss like that?

Any wonder he punches the shit out of people.

We might go around saying "Fuck you Arrek Bordwin"..........but he didn't pay my college fees so my mates could insult him.

I think Alex needs to slap one of those kids, drop his pants and say "You know what you need for Statutory Rape? Brass balls. Put that lube down. Lube is for closers. Always be opening".

 

Went for a long walk last night down to Putney and down the Fulham Palace Road as far as Craven Cottage. My phone was saying there was a Lime Ebike there to rent but it wouldn't scan open so I walked on for another 15 minutes to a place called Petley Road and grabbed one there. Cycled like fuck for 20 minutes, I felt I was trying harder, but it still took 20 minutes for some reason. Good nights exercise.

Then I woke up this morning and read that 30+ people had been arrested after a stabbing last night on Fulham Palace Road, exact same street I walked down.

This ebike rental and bike rental shit isn't working though. I did a bit of reading on it. Apparently as humans we are simply not disposed enough to make proper use of communally available private resources.

My ebike ride last night cost £4, 2 miles, 20 minutes. But that's what it would have cost on two buses and I wouldn't have been home sooner and I wouldn't have been dropped as near to home.

The bikes work. People don't.
