@lukeherbert@craig_dw@Blanch_COYS2@jonnorris12 86 was awful. I was ten and I remember crying and shouting “IT’S NOT FAIR!” at the Hand of God and my dad’s comforting words being a shrug and “Life isn’t fair, son”. Fucking Maradona. Cunt. That second goal though…absolutely incredible.
@keatonthfc@craig_dw Well, Poch signed him and we didn’t do too badly under Poch. Jose and Conte clearly know their shit and didn’t want to sell him whilst selling others. Ange and Frank didn’t want to sell him. Yeah, yeah “17th two times running”…that’s very much down to other factors and not BD.
@keatonthfc@craig_dw I’m talking about how I’ll trust the opinion of the person who actually works in the top tier of the game rather than i visuals on twitter. Bringing in peoples jobs isn’t defending Ben Davies, it’s an appeal to expertise.
@craig_dw@keatonthfc I just can’t get my head around the fact that people on X know more than a premiership manager yet still work in Woolworths. I’ve seen Tacticos on here saying the same about other players that RDZ wants to keep. Absolutely wasted on TikTok when they could be at Real Madrid.
@LilywhiteLab We’ve got a midfield overloaded with runners, no one has the undoubted WC attributes of tackling that he has. There will be times when that will be needed rather than a plethora of runners doing the same thing. We’d be better off offloading one of them and get technicians in
@RateMySausage These are my homemade sausages. Just cooking them for dinner. Made from my own pigs with dried tomatoes from last summer, fresh oregano and basil, pinch of salt. Nothing else.
@RateMySausage Is it homemade if it’s out of a tin or an Iceland bargain bag? I’ve seen Albinos with more colour than whatever that is pretending to be sausage and bacon.
Before we go in on the players…remember the Bentancur/Paulinha pivot under Frank? “They’re shit!” “Can’t pass!” etc. You can argue they’ve been a reason we’ve improved so much since De Zerbi came in. We’ve got good players, they just needed a coach who wants to play football.
Already the optimism is kicking in. “De Zerbi is at the helm” “Can’t have another year of injuries surely?” “The board finally decide to pull their finger out” etc etc.
I’m sure it’ll evaporate by the end of August.
