Man I fucking hate Manchester City.

[โ€“] nuggsy 4 points 9 months ago

I wish them to be legally blasted out of existence.

Just watched the newest episode of the Wrexham documentary. Arthur finally appears! And he gets a lot of focus.

I can see why our coaching staff rate him so highly. He's got really good fundamentals and a lot of potential. He's at least Championship level. But I can see him going higher. It's a shame he'll be leaving us, but I can see why he wants regular first team football. And he's definitely not going to get ahead of Raya at the moment.

Arsenal fans supporting Tottenham and Tottenham fans supporting City next ๐Ÿ˜‚

What a situation

[โ€“] Astrealix 3 points 9 months ago

North London Forever :)

Chris Wood is fucking shite!

[โ€“] Astrealix 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not too sure about the new Doctor Who so far. Then again, I might be comparing to Tennant lol. And it is early episodes. I liked the first one, second one not so much.

[โ€“] nuggsy 2 points 9 months ago

I had the same issue too. But Smith grew on me real quick

[โ€“] ThePowerOfGeek 3 points 9 months ago

I guess the kite-flying didn't work then.

2 nil victory but Ten Haag stays

Or

5 nil victory, GD gain but Ten Haag gets sacked.

Which would you prefer?

[โ€“] Astrealix 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely 5 nil. The problem with United is much bigger than any manager can solve.

[โ€“] hangonasecond 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If anything, I think time for ten hag will only be good for the club. Sacking him is preferable lol

[โ€“] Astrealix 2 points 9 months ago

Nah I think Ten Hag is kinda shit, but the board is the main problem lol

[โ€“] nuggsy 1 points 9 months ago

I'd take a 7-0...

[โ€“] MHPengwingz 2 points 9 months ago

Ah eff this

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Come on Fulham, I'd bite your hand off even for a 1-1 draw.

[โ€“] MHPengwingz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let's just enjoy the last two games...we really shot ourselves in the foot with the Fulham matches and the Villa matches. We just have to shove 8 each down their throats next season ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

[โ€“] nuggsy 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We did, I can't argue against that. But Manchester City haven't lost since last year...

If it wasn't for them, we could have had maybe 1 or 2 trophies. Imagine how many Liverpool could have had...

[โ€“] MHPengwingz 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Until the EPL actually does something or Pep get bored and leaves...๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

[โ€“] Astrealix 4 points 9 months ago

yknow any fucking party could probably win an election by just saying "We will actually deal with Manchester City".

[โ€“] nuggsy 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You'd think he'd be sick of it already, but he's like a fruit fly that won't fuck off. You can spray them, swat them, yell at them, but they're still there...

[โ€“] MHPengwingz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tbf he has a cushy job, who'd want to leave if things haven't gone tits up yet? I wish he'd find another challenge but I think he's basically done with completing his quests.

I do wonder if someone else came in could their results be replicated?

[โ€“] nuggsy 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, don't blame him on that front, tbh. Isn't that what most of us want in life?

I honestly don't know and it's an interesting question. You could argue that Manager X could be consistent, but possibly drop more points. Then, over time, as they bring in more of "their" players, there's a shift and they drop down in the league rankings.

I think the only club that managed to maintain some modicum of success under similar circumstances over multiple managers was Chelskie. The exception being that City are actually run professionally (although allegedly corruptly) and the other was to keep throwing shit at the wall until something stuck. Fucking Chelsea...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

See ya next season lads.

We shall gather again.

For FUCK'S SAKE

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Craven Cottage is the birthplace of humanity.

Marco Silva is my patron saint.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A bit nervous but still doing well Fulham

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It lasted 12 minutes.
