SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2020/21

Every game this weekend has featured comebacks, except the Liverpool game.

West Brom came back to win vs Chelsea, Spurs came back to take the lead, then Newcastle came back to draw in the same game. Palace have just drawn level with Everton. United came back to beat Brighton, Aston Villa came back to beat Fulham....

 

With the week that has been in it, the moment I saw the guy Valencia going off for West Ham, I put £5 on them getting a win-draw.

From 0-3 to 2-3, plenty of time left!

 

I am pretty sure Southampton came back against Burnley as well. No comeback for Leicester against City.

Side note. The Arsenal-Liverpool match was originally scheduled for Sunday @ 4:30 pm. When the C.L. scheduled Liverpool to play on Tuesday, that games was swapped with Fulham-Villa.

 

Claude formerly of Arsenal Fan TV dead at 58.

Suicide suspected.

 

Jesus that was the big one how did I forget it. It underlined my thinking then I couldn't remember it.

This year is fucked.

I mean West Ham, Champions League? Suuuuuure.

 

I bet it had nothing to do with Covid, nothing to do with zero-fan interaction, nothing to do with a total suspension of all that had been important to the guy.

He was of course about 100lbs overweight.

Fucking hits just keep on coming. I remember him from back in the pre-social media years, or at least the peak thereof.

All is changed utterly.

Never forget that guy who burst into tears after the Stoke defeat.

 

Old firm cuptie, 4pm on a saturday. Im itching for a bit of recreational rioting at this stage, FUCKING MON

 

I think Celtic will win. Rangers gone overboard a bit and have been getting away with it and it will finally catch up to them.

 

Towns gonna be mental. Cannae wait, im into it

Hope it doesnt get moved to Sunday morning, as per

 

Wee Nicky See's You Rolling, She's Banning, She's Blocking.

 

YEAH RIGHT

"Man City Post £126m Loss".

Fuck off lads. Here, pull the other one, it has mad bells on it. Twats.

Man City post £126m loss for 2019-20

 

The host is Robbie. They've been having watch parties since COVID. Claude was the old grouchy guy. (I thought he was way older than 58.) He was banned (agreed to part ways) from AFTV earlier this season after he called Tottenham's Son a DVD. I guess that's a racist term in the UK. Five hours before his death, Claude posted that he will disappear and be with his mother soon.

 

Yeah I know the black guy runs the show, but I thought the guy who called SON a DVD {I still don't get it it, and it is apparently racist to explain racist jokes} was an old slimmer taller guy.

 

"Claude Callegari was heard saying 'DVD's going off' as Son was substituted during Spurs' 2-1 win on Sunday and Callegari has received widespread criticism, with the reference to selling DVDs from a market stall a racist term that has been directed at Asian footballers, including Son, in the past."

FFS. The WEAKER the racist joke gets, the stronger the response to it.

I remember working with an Indian guy in Watford and I said to him "Dermish, who is minding the shop".

Nobody got fired, FFS....

 

When you said he was 100 lbs overweight, it made me think you were talking about Robbie. I don't know how tall he was but Claude had a horseshoe haircut (bald on top) and used to be thin but had put on some weight. They had mentioned that he had some mental problems in the last couple of years.

 

Wow he facking gone dahnhill fast innit.




Same dude. Ageing, obesia, lockdown, isolation, booze, all co-conspirators in a chaps decline.

 

Nah its Callegeri. He used to be a much slimmer man until he basically just inflated. Probably on pills and they pile on the weight.

There's a story now about a young kid from Ladbroke Grove gone missing and they found his body in a pond in Epping Forest.

19 years of age. He left the house saying he couldn't handle lockdown.

His mother feels that he hooked up with somebody on PS5 and was lured to his death.

He had Sickle-Cell and had spent the last year in isolation.

Brave New World.

When I was a kid you were lucky if your C64 turned on and loaded a game, never fucking mind communicating with another human.

 

The same thing happened to an American kid in London. Some rich kid. He may have been born in England but his parents moved there from the US. Somebody lured him into visiting them and killed him. The killer was from Essex. He was 18 years old but looked like he was 12.

 

I remember that. Very very very sinister. Threw all his devices into water and then rang the police to inform them of what he had done.

 

This is where Benitez was fucking years ahead of Klopp. You don't play guys who haven't played in ages and who, when they have played, have been average.

He drops a guy in form for a guy coming back.

Then substitutes him when it is too late.

FFS.

 

Jesus Norwich are handing out a beating to Huddersfield.

It was 5-0 at half time now it is 6-0.

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay vital away goal!!

 

I'd say Salah has been waiting years for that goal against Madrid.

 

You can see the problems with Arnold. 45% of his game is Defensive, 55% is offensive. He nearly set up the equalizer there but he's been responsible again tonight. He needs VVD to get back to covering for him.

 

Feel liverpool need another away goal yet.

 

Yes Dortmund!!

 

This actually happened in an IRISH TV studio. Opening bottles of liquor, live on TV, with kids and what have you watching, after a vicious sectarian clash in Northern Ireland.

Different era.

today they'd be editing shit and cutting to ad breaks and reminding people of their contractual obligations.

 

Liverpool kind of blew that. Real are not a better side than Liverpool, not 3-1.

There;s a chance for us now, but that's all.

 

Football Index collapse: 'I lost £4,000 in seven days'

"In January 2020, Football Index was booming, the company spread over two floors of a packed WeWork building near Paddington Station in central London. The work was hectic, but afterwards, staff broke away to play pool and drink pints on the rooftop."
