Fuck me just shoot more.

Ahhh. Rinse repeat.

Somewhat positive preseason... Immediate collapse. But what's more frustrating is Dyche is playing the same players as last year instead of the new recruits.

I feel we'll still perhaps pull off something safe, but next match will be incredibly important

 

[Scouse]

£115 million for that penalty

 

[caLLous]

And another £105m for the missed one at the other end.

Good god managers are a whining bunch of tits:

We might have to play with a stop watch - Arteta

"We might have to play with a stop watch," says Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card.

The guy's a tosser. He conveniently forgot to mention that whoever it was who had the ball before Tomiyasu had it for like 15 seconds. It's not like the ball went out, Tomiyasu went to take the throw and was carded after 8 seconds.

So, someone else had it for 15 seconds and didn't take the throw, then handed it to Tomiyasu?

In essence Havertz had it for 15 seconds then passed it to Tomi who carried on holding it for another 8 seconds before getting a yellow card.

Balls to them then. Half a minute before a throw in gets taken (assuming 7 seconds before the ball gets retrieved). Someone's gonna get booked.

Personally, I'd have booked the first guy at 15 seconds.

Should just make make it so that the person who picks it up has to take the throw in. One of the 3 closest players must take the throw, so the keeper isn't walking the length of the pitch to take a throw in.

It's the most stupid thing here. There are certain political parties are trying to leverage it as much as they can.

Hermoso is in a shit situation. She's gonna lose regardless of what happens

I'm not sure that has much to do with the actual issue myself, after all they are politicians and they'll always take advantage of something in any country.

 

[Raven]

Haha, timing.

Oh, we're fucked now.

When i looked at the team sheet earlier I thought... This is probably best cased scenario for us...

And we still didn't fucking score.

Even though we did have 1-2 strikers we still ended up with Michael Keane upfront

 

[Gray]

We've not had the best start to the season. Thank Christ we're playing a team who are THREE DIVISIONS lower than us and bottom of their respective league

.... Fucksake!!

 

[Scouse]

At least you turned it around

 

[Jupitus]

At least you turned it around

...unlike Leeds vs Salford ...

 

[Gray]

Thankfully as soon as we brought on our brand new 24 hours prior signing he ended up making a vast improvement for us

Still, this was a team who is about 80 places below us in the league's, but it's positive start. On to Sheff United now

 

[Raven]

I see Poch has got Chelsea really purring, a billion well spent.

Lol.

I was thinking exactly that recently. They're getting shat on by mob rule.

But then, they did call themselves the red devils - so they brought it on themselves

 

[Raven]

Got to ask the question.

Is Maguire taking bribes?

 

[Gray]

So Moshiri is gone, he's passed the club on to a group who have helped a catalogue of clubs across the entire globe.

The teams they've taken over have ended up being relegated, chasing promotions... So it could go either way.

Probably not the time to announce it before a match against Arsenal, when we're on a complete winless streak. But Moshiri is sailing off into the sunset now.

-

In other news though, Ten Hag has the man management skills of a chimp. He isolates his decent players... it wouldn't be so bad if he pulled out some results but... back fire

I'm not going to go on about scrapping VAR again but this is just so unprofessional:

‘That’s wrong that, Daz’: transcript of VAR audio for disallowed Díaz goal

The conversation between officials that led to Luis Díaz’s goal being wrongly disallowed in Liverpool’s defeat at Tottenham

www.theguardian.com

Where's the handovers? Where's the structured language to confirm signoffs?

The whole thing's fucking huckster-designed.
