What do you mean 'what do i mean'? Why are you answering on behalf of Worsted anyway?!! He said it will be a hard game, i said 'will it fuck'. Hello Mcfly....... ochfacepalm:

what do you mean?

 

[Clynelish]

Dele picked ahead of Son? Is this some joke?

Son has already started 4 matches in September (2 for Spurs, 2 for South Korea) and on Saturday he will most likely start at Leicester, need to be smart.

that was sex

Am I not a virgin anymore?

 

[Borodin55]

Once again the opposition go in at half time boosted by a goal. Very sloppy defending.

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Is it me, or is Ndombele just strolling about?

 

[COYSinnit]

We might need to sub in VAR if this goes to shit

 

[Jenny Talia]

Safe to say that if we continue to play like this in the second half we will be very lucky to come away with a point

If we do the same in the second half wouldn't we win 4-2?

I think Eriksen might be drug tested after this game. They'll be looking for cannabis in particular.

 

[Yorkshire Yid]

Sanchez is so fuckin narrow what is he doing

He's a cb being forced to play RB for 90 minutes unfair to judge him.

 

[Builder]

Picked the wrong day to quit smack.

 

[SouthStand Billy]

I tell you what will make it better... Lets all cry and wet our knickers.. oh wait.....

 

[Cranston]

Nabil Bentaleb called it, but fuck me we miss Walker. I know he can do dumb shit, but I’d love to have a marauding FB in the team.

That was why Palace was enjoyable; Aurier gave us that option.

 

[Maccer]

Let's not bother with a defence then this season...

Poch, is that you ?

 

[John Thomas]

If we'd been 0-2 down and fought back for a point we'd all be jizzin' in our panties.

Some people need to get a grip.

A good hard won point in Athens is a decent start to our campaign

 

[Redcoast]

I hate to say this but is Kane immune to being subbed off?

They not just complaining about the performances in the CL - there is a trend going back nearly a year now.

The notion that we should be content simply because we are in the CL when there is clear regression across all areas of the playing side is simply absurd.

A YEAR you say....? Well, they do say a week is a long time in football, so a year must feel like a lifetime for some!

I think what grates, are people complaining about 'regression' when clearly our PROGRESSION over the last 5 years was incomprehensible 2 decades ago...
We weren't even IN the Champions League for the first 18 years of it's 'rebranded' existence... and then only once before...

We've been in it 4 seasons on the bounce now, that's PROGRESS, surely?
... and it's BECAUSE we're relatively grounded fans, and can remember a life BEFORE CL football, that it isn't, nor should it be taken for granted....

It's hard to justify fans 'expecting' to qualify... we're there on merit, hard earned, rode our luck at times, but not for one second assumed we'd make it in each year...
THAT'S the progression...

Any regression would mean we've become SO accustomed and blasé to demand we qualify, and anything less is a step back... I'd hate to be so self entitled!!

We were beaten finalists last season, there's only one more step up left, and that's to WIN the thing... that leaves a LOT more opportunity for a so called backwards step...

Would reaching the Semis (but losing) this year be regression, just 'cos we went one better last season??

Regression is nearly 2 decades of turgid, mid table dross, with the occasional flirtation with relegation.... yet (apart from the 1990/91 season) that was us from the late '80s until the mid-to-late 2000's!!
...we went almost 16 years without beating Chelsea FFS... and yet that 'hoodoo' was broken 13 years ago!!

I've kinda lost track of what my original point was meant to be, but fuck it... I know what I mean!!

if my aunt had a penis she'd be my uncle

I find your worryingly binary cis-normative transphobia problematic.

Can't you see that gender is a construct that isn't bound by outdated concepts such as our sexual organs? Frankly I'm amazed that in 2019 we're still using outdated pseudo-fascistic non-intersectional terms such as "aunt" and "uncle".

 

[Jenny Talia]

Sometimes it happens to us, sometimes it happens to other CL clubs. Let's just accept that without going full Scouse

But it's our year.

Can't imagine what Moura needs to do to convince people he is valuable. Something unbelievable like a hat trick in a semi?
