It’s a while since they got hammered like this, before the oil I would think.

A little more annoying that manager will be making his way to Manchester next week.

Utd fans will tonight be foaming at the mouth.

i hope someone is working on a nice long post for the other forum meltdown thread

Pretty sure we've handed their asses to them a couple of times in the not too distant past...

I may have had too many IPAs and Stouts to do that tonight.

Fuck it. I’ll open some more.

 

[Frogfish]

Haha Diaz's 3rd was a no-look !

He’s not bringing the Sporting squad with him though

I thought that myself

He'll try to next Summer.

Leverkunted

 

[jan]

Not that impressed with that hyped up Leverkusen squad

Frimpong was decent, Wirtz and Xhaka average, Hincapie quite bad. Boniface has the look of a future Everton flop. Thought that blonde Die Hard henchman they brought on late was their best midfielder

 

[Hansern]

He'll try to next Summer.

Good luck to him

 

[Hansern]

Unpopular opinion, maybe, but I quite like the new CL format.

 

[The Nomad]

Disappointing that Diaz still doesn't do interviews in English.

Deffo better matches.

I don't think it's controversial at all, feels quite entertaining and way better than watching us play the Maribors and Ludogores twice

Yes we must talk about that, it would be just OUR FUCKING LUCK....aint it ? Klopp came and that other guy decided to follow him from Germany and take over City....and now this Amorim guy could be the guy .... I DONT' WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT !!!!🫣🫣🫣

Xabi did a great job with Leverkusen last season, and I really wanted him to be our manager. But I would not swap him for Arne now. Looking like a really good appointment by the club.

Yeah, better games and so far more entertaining.

He'll try to next Summer.

He’ll bring the ex Coventry city striker with him and he’ll flop.

The only thing for me with the format is when does the jeopardy start? At this point in the old format, teams would start getting knocked out or be fighting for their lives. Of the current bottom 12, only Atletico and Bayern would be missed and they’ll likely be OK - play-offs at worst.
Doesn’t feel like the stakes will be raised until the play-off phase.

We will be sound till the spring. There will be some top 8 attention which doesn’t really matter. There could be some scalps come late winter like Arsenal and Madrid.

But still better then City getting Maidenstone, Patrick Thistle and Dynamo Dresden while winning 37-0 in their group games.

Better games, more variation and I like playing someone only once.

 

[Hansern]

Slot on Jones: "I am still learning on a daily basis about every player, Curtis is one. When I first came I played him as a six. That wasn't his best game, at this moment he can play in every position as in such a good place right now. He has really made step up."

I think it was Dreamy that said that their league is shite and I'm starting to think that he's right

He’s been here 14 years and still can’t speak English
Diaz has been sent here and right now looks distinguished
There’s a much better song being sang from the Kop
Which is better than this by a fucking lot

 

[binomial]

Why would you want to do an interview in English when you can speak Spanish?

The English language is absolute fucking shite.

They have words like pinata, de nada and cojones.

We've got hello, cheers and cunt.

Dancing soles and goals are better than hip-hop
