Boufal the first player dragged off when they can’t score. Where’ve I seen that before?

Absolutely, been saying this for years. Along with in play, on field physio treatment, outside the penalty area to cut down on fake injuries and play acting.

Crikey mucker, bonzer goal.

Woah, what a f**king goal that is.

Glad to see that penalty being given, the problem is that they’re not given every time in every game. I don’t care if we get six penalties per game, they’d soon learn.

Can we call this the Ryan Reynolds derby?

Berghuis really fleeced the defender there.

He’s not concussed, just a bit confused about what he was doing.

I think the utterly spineless nature of all of this is one of the most irritating things. If we decided to just shut up and play football, fine. If we decided we were going to take the knee and wear the armband, also fine. The fact that they’ve made all this noise about standing up for people’s rights but immediately back down when they’re threatened with being booked shows how shallow and artificial it really is.

1934, Angelo Schiavio against the USA for Italy.

I wonder what the deal is when Ecuador score, everyone gathers in a circle to thank God, then it’s disallowed by VAR. do they have to start praying to someone else?

Hoping for double figures personally, want to see an absolute farce of a score. You don't, I was being facetious.

Begins? F**k me, you're late to that party.

It’s just doesn’t feel like a WC to me, more of a pain in the backside international break. I’m wouldn’t be against a winter WC as such, if the football seasons were aligned to a calendar year and the domestic season was over. It’s the fact that it’s mid-season and in Qatar that ruins it.

Wasn’t a problem when it hosted a friendly between Scunthorpe and Lightwater.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63687412 Monumental, gaslighting w**ker. Apparently we should all be apologising for stuff that happened 400 years ago, not the Qataris for still living like this in 2022.

People who say they were, "dead for eight minutes," if they have some sort of cardiac arrest. No, one of your organs stopped functioning temporarily, death isn’t a temporary affliction.

Few rational people would argue with any of that, the problem is that it has no bearing at all on men who want to be women as a lifestyle choice because they enjoy dressing up in stereotypically female clothes. It regularly gets brought up in an attempt to provide a medical basis for being transgender but really it’s a non-sequitur. Whatever the variations in hormones, genital shapes and genetics, we still have a clear definition of male and female which applies to all but a very, very small percentage of the population; people who ovulate are female, people who have testicles and produce sperm are male. If this was the true basis of what some people actually want to be true, you’d expect it to be fairly consistent; across gender, time, personalities and location. Instead what’s happening is there are 2.5 times as many men who claim to be women, compared to the other way around, the number of people making this claim is growing exponentially, it’s much higher in for example, California than Kansas and it’s frequently associated with people who have serious mental health issues.

Nope, Aribo for me. It’s still like choosing your favourite STD but he has actually done something this season, unlike Ox.

I was at the Stadium MK when Lambert scored possibly his best ever for us. Chris Baird against Cardiff Wayne Thomas, need I say more. Osvaldo Pelle vs QPR Verginiog's cracker against Sunderland

If he hadn't played for us before, you wouldn't be saying any of that.

I think that probably just about sums it up. Not, "we’re fighting three other teams for his signature," Liverpool are trying to offload him onto someone else. We’ve been here before with Walcott, for some reason people convinced themselves he was ‘coming home’ to reignite and relive past glories.

Nope, he’s done nothing for two and a half years.

But he has only one point off safety, so going down was on a knife edge. If we’ve got rid of the main problem, how have we gone from that to definitely going down?

The only person who actually matters rates him, and that’s the manager. If he’s playing regular first team football at Chelsea he quite simply won’t come here.
