I am delighted to inform you that in 2033, and for the first time since the 16th century, Christmas and Eid coincide.

It's all to do with phases, innit - although TBF we only really have one phase.

Do teams actually win leagues much with a five? In the Prem the only team I can think of was Conte's Chelsea. (Guardiola has used a three, but not five, during mid-game tactical switches, though that's with a CB as good as Rodri stepping into midfield.)

May I recommend the Duck Toaster?

I was at that game, where the Wallace brothers were subjected to loud and repeated monkey chants which of course the stewards ignored. Hated Norwich ever since.

Might be worth checking for concussion if your first reaction to the storm returning is "the team lineups look good."

If only you'd gone for a predicted formation of 4321 you could also have had a 3-2 win. Now we're 50% doomed.

This is unfair. Trump qualified for that Peace Prize as the first-ever recipient of the Bellend d'Or.

On the other hand...

Yes, probably Real Madrid reserves, when he was 12.

Sorry that doesn't scan or rhyme.

Has it actually been announced yet? If not the thread is definitely funct.

Are you suggesting people sing this while throwing shapes?

Happily supply the eggs for your face if you wish.

Some very good TE analysis in this thread (and in this account generally) - probably worth a follow for those who do such things.

Dagnabbit, I've only just now cottoned on to your avatar.

This one deserves an award. V funny.

Well it completely fooled me. What is a "Honda" anyway?

Does it count as an assist? AA's shot hit a defender and bounced back out to him.

Yes, and I'd add THB just for the long-range pass out of defence to set up Caspar Jander's goal. It was inch-perfect for AA.

That's not polite at all; I'm deeply offended by your misuse of the semi-colon.

Thanks. I think.

I'm nicking this for my review of the Charlton game.

But does he understand both forms of Dutch?
