SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

Nope. I don't think there is. Agreed, that'd be a great show.

 

Best Liverpool effort from a losing position this year. We still have good players and know how to play. Just need some adjustments and some new players.

Arsenal's best play all came in the first 40 minutes.

After that they looked very much like the team that finished 6th last year. A bit green, very grabby in the box.

Keeper saved you. That and Mo the Misser.

 

It's a wrap for Bayern

 

PC who hit ex-footballer Dalian Atkinson guilty of gross misconduct

Total radio silence, relatively speaking, relative to all the other irrelevant shit like Lineker

 

Indeed.

For only highlights HooFoot - Latest Football Highlights is pretty good. Most things are there and up pretty quickly.

An actual show with commentary and adding more context would be excellent.

 

Ive been a bit disappointed with the lack of progress celtic have made this year, which seems a weird thing to say when we're on track for the biggest points & goals haul in history, but I think games like saturday show we're still a ways away from kicking onto the next level like i hoped we might. Not surprising: last summer i said the 4 things we need are a new keeper, more athletic left back, a more composed & ball playing left centre back and a really high yardage, ball winning box to box midfielder & we're finishing this season with pretty much the same starting xi as last season. Ange has tried to fill 3 of those 4 niches but as yet none have made the first team....which is liable to happen when you spend ~6 million total on all three. Basically we need two or three Jota/Carter Vickers quality signings if we're gonna improve the team and we'll be relying on luck to find them because its doubtful Ange gets the funds to shop them at market rate.

 

Spare a thought for Hearts. Their assault on...THIRD continues.

 

Chelsea six-nil over Madrid today is the only logical outcome.

 

When Hearts beat Hibs recently the club tweeted :The Jambos go 7 points clear!'. Im not kidding.

Hearts, Hibs & Aberdeen really should aim higher. Fine, there's a huge resource gulf between us and them but there's a pretty big one between them and the rest too. They have the same average attendance as AZ alkmaar, but they're run like provincial tinpot operations, shite scouting, no vision/top down coherence - if any of them had been run half as intelligently as Brighton or Bournemouth have been, they could be challenging.

 

It's the result of low expectations. We t 8n at Liverpool for ages. Believing they "belong" but behaving like the don't, top4 and a run in the cup, "we had a good year, building for the future" etc. Small mindedness, really. Making a virtue out of a necessity. Not good enough.

 

I had a feeling Milan would edge Napoli today.

I think Napoli can turn it around next week.

 

Napoli have gone off the boil in recent weeks. Obviously they're too far ahead for it to have any significance in Serie A, but Milan absolutely tore them apart 4-0 in Naples a couple of weeks ago. That has to have a mental effect right before you go into a two-legged Champions League tie with the same opponents. I really want Napoli to win but I have a feeling Milan might have gotten into their heads at just the wrong time.

 

I'm waiting for the documentary "ASSAULT on third"

"Chronicles of the 2023 season in which the football club Hearts showed all their heart in a fierce attack to vie for the coveted third spot in the Scottish Premiere League."

 

It's not so far fetched.

Roy Chubby Brown made a fortune on shit comedy videos every Christmas.

People will buy anything , anything.


In 2012, when Dalglish was at Liverpool, the clowns there at www.thisisanfield.com used to have a regular slot ever week about the "Assault on the top 4".

I think we finished 10th or some shit .....

 

'Champagne' Charlie Nicholas is another guy in the Best, Johnstone, Gazza bracket where you wonder how great they might've been if they'd laid off the sauce

He rocked up at Arsenal and blew it.

 

Spent all his time in nightclubs. I had a 'shoot' annual when i was a kid and in between all the action shotss & league tables was a picture of charlie nicholas naked on a chez lounge except for y-fronts holding a glass of champagne. 7 year old Hut: 'wtf?'

 

I think Everton & Liverpool finished 7th & 8th or maybe 8th & 9th. I think two of the three years Suarez was there, Everton finished slightly above Liverpool. This is all from memory.

 

He lasted 4 seasons before being fucked off to Aberdeen. He has the look of a guy who blew it and now has to get suited up and chat shit in a studio. Pathetic. I've no sympathy for people who put the poison of alcohol into themselves and think the rules won't apply to them.

 

Pretty much.....it was a dire period. Around 2013 Liverpool and Everton jointly had very good sides.

 

What are they like? its a wee shame

 

Here is the aforementioned "Unseen Enemy" but I wonder will they get the memo.....

UK families tell of threats and police warnings over children playing in street

 

Where the fuck have Villa come from? They're right in the mix for CL spots now.

 

Just won a hundred quid on the grand national, free beer all weekend

 

Abdul's no well

 

Have you ever went for pints with that guy?

 

Oh piling on the agony, putting on the style
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 scoring all the while
You'll never see such fitbaw tho you travel manys a mile
As when watching Glasgow Celtic, putting on the style!

 

Ive seen him kicking about town and cessnock plenty but never spoke to him. I hope he's alright, he's clearly not all there

 

Fuck's sake Arsenal...

 

Big half hour right here
