Dion Dublin and Jill Scott. Which C4 TV executives came up with that truly awful combination.

    Mad_Cyril Some interesting reading

    Not really, that article is like a snake eating its own tail.

    TLDR :

    Lots of footballers get accused of stuff, but no one cares unless it’s a Utd player. The media putting out lots of stuff about the allegations against Antony may put so much pressure on Utd that they drop Antony even though other clubs didn’t drop their accused players, so we’re going to write yet another article putting pressure on Utd to drop Antony.

      I use TLDR for all of Hugo’s posts.

        Mad_Cyril the fact articles like this are being written highlights the shitshow Utd are in. Utd are, and have been for a while, been in the news for all the wrong reasons. If Ferguson was manager he would be fuming at the state of the club at the moment.

        However typical Utd fans trying to brush it all under the carpet and pretend things are great 😂

          Who’s doing that?

          ‘Protecting player X’

          Arsenal are the BBC of football.

          It’s hardly a secret, Leeds fans spent half the match chanting ‘Thomas Parte is a pedophile’. Anything in the papers or ordered to stop? No nothing. Make one racist or homophobic chant..

          SM001 I use TLDR for all of Hugo’s posts.

          I use a feature called ‘TADR’ which means ’Too autistic, don’t read’, and I just ignore them.

            I’m pretty sure that stands for ’This Abbreviates Dave’s Retarded’.

            Jill Scott Heron as I like to call her.


            Some of the comments are gold.

              Blame Shitgate. I don’t watch England purely because of him, but my son wanted to watch the highlights today. I kind of hung round the kitcheñ as he was watching it. Fucking dismal. That side is a team drifting without a rudder. Let’s fucking face it the football is dire, absolutely fucking dire. That side of players could play without a manager and achieve the same if not better results. If the players picked the side themselves slab head wouldnt feature in it. I hope we lose to Scotland just so we can start to make a proper move in getting rid of the useless fucking cunt because, as it is, it’s going to be another wasted generation of talented players. He’s a boring one dimensional wanker who’s in a position he hasn’t and doesn’t deserve or warrant being in.
              Hendermong should never play again. Slabhead should never play again. Fuck off shitgate.

                Hursty cheers for the running commentary, Hursty. I don’t read the news.

                Was a staunch defender of Southgate but I am actually starting to agree with this line of thinking.

                His team selections and especially his in-game management and substitutions are absolute dogshit.

                Conor Gallagher or Trent A-A (admittedly injured) must start in midfield instead of Henderson, and there are many better options than Maguire now at CB (Guehi, Tomori), who should be integrated before the Euros.

                Why Tomori isn’t put in instead of Slabhead is a crime. He was voted defender of the year by his peers in Sirie A FFS. Also you don’t have to stick with a formation just to shoehorn Hendermong in, Shitgate just isn’t clever enough to utilise other players with different formations. His football is mind boggling bad. So fucking boring.

                  He’s as useless a manager as he was a player. The only thing Shitegate oozes is abject failure. Should never have been allowed anywhere near an English team again, especially after that penalty miss…

                  Is right. He can’t lead by example because he’s never set one. The whole thing is a joke.

                  Cankles-McJeggings for what it’s worth, the reason is that apparently Tomori lacks the aerial presence of Maguire (I don’t recall ever seeing Tomori play so can’t comment).

                    gcw I do watch quite a bit of Serie A, it’s often on in the boozer here in Beijing.

                    Tomori is a way better centre half than Maguire.

                    Tomori is 6′1″. Fabio Cannavaro was 5′9″ and is probably one of the best centre halves of the past twenty five years.

                      And Marc Guehi and Michael Olise (I know he’s a winger, and currently plays for France under-21s) could be class England players, they are just young and don’t yet play for a fashionable club.

                      Ireland were beaten again last night by a goal from United legend, Wout Weghorst that killed off what little chance we had of qualifying.
                      Bit of perspective lads.

                        Mad_Cyril Probably the Glaziers’ fault

                        It’s clear for all to see.

                        Mad_Cyril so a recording of a phone call has been leaked taken from early July where the banker who has just accused Antony of DV appears to say that “People are even offering me money for me to harm him”.

                        Hmmmm

                          hugopal that sounds horrific all round. Also stinks of desperation if he is charging for signatures and charging people to have dinner with him

                          I hope someone pays for the meal and then stabs him with a dinner knife

                            alistair how much to pump their Mrs?

                            I hope you’re asking for a friend!

                            alistair I will give you the JC group discount, so £50 per 15 mins. I can wear my Liverpool
                            top if you want?

                            We have comprehensive coverage of sirie A and I watch him a lot. I’d put money on it he’s more adept in every aspect of defending. He’s just not wanking off Mr Boring.

                            • fuck me, remember Mr Boring on here?

                            Smallman1 hugopal Paging @Smallman1 - didn’t know whether to put this here or the Top Restaurant thread, but £500 to have dinner with the absolute ledge that is John Terry!

                            My work colleague went to the one in Amazingstoke the other day. So many Chels’ (including JT) in town made me feel highly uncomfortable 😅 The IQ of the place defo slipped a few points that day! Thankfully I was working in Chelsea at the time. The irony…
