I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
Is it amazing when you consider how loving thick most people are, let alone football fans?

Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

I love the implication that adverts are broadcast live and that he can't be at the game because he's gone to that London to sell razors; just an old man barking at a television screen like a dog that's seen another dog

come out of that box and fight me you coward

Ballers...I put numbers on the boards
I like this paragraph from Key's blog this week:

quote:

Of course, no-one is really suggesting that Benitez is running H’everton into the ground on purpose, but this is the blog I knew I’d be writing sooner or later. And it certainly isn’t a self congratulatory ‘I told you so’.

Reminded me of a Liverpool Chelsea game from years ago where Bosingwa literally kicks I think Benayoun in the back next to the corner flag, right next to the linesman and gets no card

What we could do with is someone like Jose Mourinho who is supposedly interested in the Everton manager's job buying Iwobi and some of the other deadwood to clear the decks FFP wise. So for example Jose buys Iwobi now for £10m to Roma, ie he starts the Everton rebuilding program whilst he is not even manager of the job.

The terrible spirit of Billy Hailsey and American sportswriters ham-fistedly writing about football lives on via The Ringer

https://www.theringer.com/soccer/2021/12/8/22823377/west-ham-premier-league-contenders-michail-antonio

quote:

It’s like this: At the dawn of time, when the great powers of the Premier League divided the world among them, they made a pact with their lesser brethren. Each year, the league would be dominated by the same boring handful of predictable superteams—your Manchester clubs, your Liverpools, your Chelseas. But each year, from among the ranks of the smaller clubs, one team would be chosen to wield a primordial chaos magic.

This team might not win the league—chaos magic, while potent, does not have its own sovereign wealth fund—but it would be endowed with the power to defy expectations, challenge the dominance of the big clubs, and periodically turn the league upside down. The club of chaos magic would use luck, skill, tenacity, and cunning to lead the small clubs’ fight against the ruling oligarch-titans. It would create a venue where weird things could happen any time it took the pitch—and what does the start of a revolution feel like, if not weird things happening?

In some years, the chaos-magic club is easy to spot from the beginning. In others, it takes a little more time for the chosen one to reveal itself. Last year was one of the easy ones: Leeds United, a club that could essentially be rebranded Chaos Magic FC at this point, a club guided by literal anarchy sprite Marcelo Bielsa, rose from the depths of the Championship, beat Man City at the Etihad, fought to draws against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man United, and finished ninth in the league despite being led by a striker, Patrick Bamford, whose previous top-flight experience mostly boiled down to being sent out on loan to 530 different clubs while technically under contract to Chelsea.
