SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2024/2025

Didn't think they had it in them, great to be wrong. Real showed up assuming it would just happen. Still, three goals at Bernabei is well in reach, especially if they score early.

 

Do you think Arsenal will still "not press the issue" in the league?

 

Everton have played well against the top teams all year. Draws with Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle, two draws with Arsenal, a drew and a close loss to Liverpool. We got shitkicked by Spurs and Man U. Lost twice to Southampton, lost three times to Bournemouth including one match where we were leading 2-0 in the 87th minute.

 

That was hardly my point though ....

 

I forgot. We beat Spurs the second time around and drew Man U.

 

Some loser fans waited to the team at the train station after the 4-0 loss at Spurs.

Of course the only player to talk back to the idiots was Maupey who is the most hated player on the squad.

 

Rice's second is a screamer but Rodrygo shat it something terrible in the wall. He slipped that ball like Wilfred benitez

 

Tell that to this guy:

 

Pre steroid Jake Paul was too easy to hit.

 

First wall was terrible too.

 

That PSG equaliser

 

Villa.....they can still do it. But that 3rd goal. Man..

 

Another teenager scoring a screamer in Paris, stands there frowning :(

 

The full back lad had a good smile on him after the third but yeah generally black/mixed-race footballers need to lighten the fuck up, pardon the pun. I really don't see what the problem is.

 

Anyway, as a palette cleanse, here's Paul McStay smiling

Kvaratskhelia's goal was a beauty.

 

They were both superb strikes. Mad to think they're the only two free kicks he's ever scored. I'd just stop taking them after that, you're never going to beat them.

 

Aupa Athletic!

 

Where's his cone??!!

 

Have to admit I've plumped for the Rangers Vs Athletic game.

 

Things I really miss about not doing England trips any more:

The pubs
Real ale
A full English -my tradition was to order the vegetarian full English then read the Mirror sports page at a table by the window with a pint. Jimmy met me a couple of times for this at The Moon Under Water
Castles
Cathedrals
More pubs
Betting shops
Coming back to the betting shop with a winner
Tons of walking while I was there
Everton matches
My usual three star hotels
The trains -I'm more familiar with Lime Street Station and Euston Station then I'll ever be with any station here
Late night take away
British TV
And last but not least more pubs

 

Vegetarian full English isn't full .

 

Ok it's Prince Albert so there's got to be shit on his head. Birdshit.

 

The sausage tasted so much like real sausage I had to half jokingly ask the barmaid if that was really a vegetarian breakfast.

She said, "Yes the sausage is Quorn."

Me: Corn?

Her: Yes it's Quorn.

I thought I was missing something there. No way that was made of corn. At the time, the term "Quorn" meant nothing to me but since then they even sell Quorn products at my local grocery store.

 

Wrong statue! I guess that's some other lad who killed a bunch of Indians or Zulus or something

 

In fairness to that venerable Irishman Wellington, his best known wins were on the European mainland Vs Whitey.

 

Crystal Palace being brutally returned to reality

 

If Liverpool win tomorrow doesn't that seal it mathematically?

 

No. Arsenal will be 13 points behind with 18 to play for.

18 is more than 13.

Thank you for playing. Please insert coin and press START.

J/K

If Liverpool win tomorrow it basically means Arsenal simply don't have the wriggle room.

Even a draw at Anfield would doom them. Liverpool basically have a GD equivalent that is worth a point in and of itself.
