SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2021/22

Tbf: if you replayed that Palace game 5 times i doubt City would fail to win again....dunno what the xg differential was but it mustve been >2. Just one of those days i think

 

It's also weird that Spurs seem to have City's number yet they get absolutely owned by Man U.

 

When else do you get to hug 5 strangers? some sort of fight club style cancer support group?

 

You wonder how much is tactics and how much is psychological baggage with these things

 

I guess a bit of both but i think these things tend to be more psychological. The styles and tactics aren't as static as they are head to head in boxing. Fighters can make adjustments obviously, but they are what they are. A football club can not only make bigger changes tactically but they can field basically a different side.

 

It's SPURZY

 

Jamie C reckons Liverpool for the title.

That's us fucked, so

 

I just knew I'd seen that guy somewhere....

 

It wasn't all good news. Chelsea HMRC beat OSC Lille

 

Youre dead, Willie.

 

Illu's cousin knew a guy who used to run smack with Rolando Rivas.

 

Liverpool's last game of the season....home vs Man Utd. Thatd be some way to win it

 

Bias aside Rangers have had some amount of good luck in this tie

 

They've basically been battered from pillar to post in this leg. How it is 1-1 I do not know.

MTF

 

It'd be some way to lose it too.

You know me. Accentuate the negative.

In the meantime, proper Christians to the Lions atmosphere at Goodison.

 

Whatever that old line about men living lives of quiet desperation was, there's nothing quiet about the desperation at Goodison tonight. That place is heaving. Seething.

Anyone see Paul Mersons performance on Sky last night?

It was the verbal, intellectual equivalent of this.....

 

14 minutes added?

 

GET IN THERE, MY SON!!!

 

That was one of the ugliest, shittiest games of football I've ever seen. Truly horrible.

MTF

 

The Everton fan who ran on and dragged that bellend off the park

 

Yyarmolenko!!! Oh Sweet Caroline.

Sincerely fuck off with your shite ass narratives.

Ian Darke "who is writing these scripts".

You are , Ian, hadn't you noticed....

"Who is Tony Adams"

 

Rangers draw Braga in the quarter finals.....the two ties are sandwiched between THREE Old Firm games (and an away day at St Mirren). 6 games in 18 days. Sellik have a routine home game against St Johnstone followed by 8 days rest.

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

 

Champions League quarterfinal draw:

Chelsea vs. Real Madrid

Manchester City vs. Atletico Madrid

Villarreal vs. Bayern Munich

Liverpool vs. Benfica

Bayern and Liverpool surely are big favorites. The two oil clubs have a tougher draw. (good)

 

Says at lot about how shite the CL has become that only one of those ties even looks competitive

 

Citeh are favorites but seeing Atletico go through wouldn't exactly be some earth shattering upset. Stinkball is sadly effective. Whatever side advances i hope half their squad is completely depleted from red cards.

 

Aye, not earth shattering but the early odds have Athletico at 4-1 to qualify, so pretty uncompetitive for a quarter final. And its the second most competitive of four!

 

Last time we played Benfica in the ECL, 2006, they smashed us, home and away. 3-0 over two legs, Simao did the damage. It was a presumed cakewalk then too. Beware!!
