It's been said many times by loads of other people, but I only got round to reading Little Women after seeing this episode of 'The Simpsons' and was surprised to find this line isn't in it.
Not that I bear grudges or anything, but whichever Euros it was people were comparing Kalvin Phillips to Andrea Pirlo; I was on a night out with mates and I said I reckoned Billy Gilmour was as good if not better than Phillips and got laughed at big time. Who's laughing now? Me!
The decline that this man has had over the last few years is absolutely horrid to see...
Genuinely feel sorry for him as he seems a good lad, but really can't figure what on earth has actually happened to him 🤯
@eggforbread It should. I feel we're in the minority and would get called killjoys for even voicing such an opinion, but fuck 'em. Literally cannot get excited about anything that gives that orange pustule and FIFA a free pass for a month.
I know no one will give a shit and the joyous festivity of football will continue regardless, but the fascist government of the USA literally tilting the scales of what should be a level playing field for political ends renders the tournament meaningless.
The United States has denied a visa for Iran's national team manager Mehdi Mohammadnabi.
He will be barred entering the U.S. for their the Fifa #WorldCup 2026 matches.
He & others also denied visas will travel to the team camp in Mexico whilst efforts to obtain visas continue.
Speaks to the stupidity of UEFA/FIFA rules that one of the most famous stadiums in world football isn't suitable to host a football tournament. It's just a game at the end of the day.
part of the UK's problem is our stadiums are proper football grounds but they'll fail numerous FIFA/UEFA requirements (that's why Anfield isn't hosting Euro matches, pitch too small)
Gonna keep saying it, but this part of the sleeve is atrocious. Especially when you compare it to Copenhagen's which is just the one piece of material. All for the sake of whacking some stupid PL badge on it.
Some notable absences.
🇮🇹 90. Lineker shitting himself on the pitch and wiping his arse on the grass.
🇺🇸 94. Andrés Escobar OG ☠️.
🇫🇷 98. Romania line up with dyed blonde hair.
Firm believer that music should only be played in places where you're expected to dance. I don't want to have a shouting conversation with a mate in a pub cos they think I want to listen to Bruno Mars.
There is almost no restaurant whose ambience is improved by music. The best sound is the buzz of human conversation. Music is there either to hurry along the punters or because to stop the staff from getting bored.
@OilSheppard Didn't think Say It With Pride was a Deacon Blue song either. As far as I remember, it was collective thing. Think Fish was one of the singers.
