Remind me what you've lost again from your match day experiences

 

[Raven]

Still, football, eh? Funny old game.

 

[Aoami]

It was a great game last night, VAR or not. One of the best games i've seen in some time actually. We're missing a proper rivalry in the prem these days like United v Arsenal of old.

Remind me what you've lost again from your match day experiences

Do I have to? I've been very explicit previously.

Something wrong with your memory?

 

[Aoami]

Nope, it just always gives me a good laugh

Ol' Ned Ludd over here

Ol' Ned Ludd over here

Looms were a step forward. VAR ain't. Clearly. As we've the same amount of controversy but have injected interminable delays and the trashing of what was once a purely human game for no other reason than "money".

 

[Raven]

Jumpers for goalposts?

 

[Scouse]

Jumpers for goalposts?

No. Just the most successful sport in the history of mankind, as it was before they started to get tech involved to no obvious benefit.

 

[Raven]

Also, according to fantasy football, Mendy made 6 saves. Easily the best keeper in the prem for me.

lol

Everton have rid themselves of the Director of Football Marcel Brands. He/team did find a few decent players in his tenure but there was a lot of naff too on especially long, expensive contracts.

Heard murmurs still that Benitez is next with talk of Mourinho. What a massive calamity that will turn out, if (unlikely) true.

 

[Gray]

That was wonderful.

 

[Raven]

Ohhh, Arsenal, you are awful.

 

[Aoami]

I really like Gray. I wanted us to buy him from Brum years ago.

 

[Gray]

I like you too.

He's been a really good signing especially for the value.

 

[Raven]

Rona at Spurs with Sundays game under review. They are already a game behind, there doesn't seem to be any room for fixture rearrangement any more.

 

[Embattle]

Well whatever the fixture change it should be at Spurs cost not the team they play.

 

[Embattle]

Brighton match has been postponed.

 

[Raven]

Yet another manager change at the chavs?

 

[Embattle]

Really need Chilwell and Kante back, and to stop sitting back on leads.

 

[DaGaffer]

Straightforward CL draw for three of the four English clubs; United not so much...

 

[Aoami]

Sounds so rigged with the way the balls were drawn. United "accidentally" drawn against Villarreal then magically not being eligible to be drawn against Atleti?

 

[Scouse]

Sounds so rigged

It's bent as a nine bob note. As was proven a number of years back when the draw results were shared online ahead of the draw - just in time for bookies to start to get twatted.

 

[Raven]

PSG vs UTD is going to be brutal though.

Nah. United'll show up. You can't spend that many hundreds of millions on players and them all be shit.

It'll focus their minds.

Respectfully, I disagree.

UEFA made it up

 

[Aoami]

FIA paid UEFA to fuck it up to distract from the F1.

Can we have a tinfoil hat emoji?
